D. Risk Factors
    We face a variety of risks and uncertainties in our business. Those described below are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe to be immaterial, may also become important factors that affect us.
Risks Related to Our Business, Strategy and Operations
We may not succeed in preserving and enhancing the value of the Ferrari brand, which we depend upon to drive demand and revenues.
Our financial performance is influenced by the perception and recognition of the Ferrari brand, which, in turn, depends on many factors such as the design, performance, quality and image of our cars, the appeal of our dealerships and stores, the success of our promotional activities including public relations and marketing, as well as our general profile, including our brand’s image of exclusivity. The value of our brand and our ability to achieve premium pricing for Ferrari-branded products may decline if we are unable to maintain the value and image of the Ferrari brand, including, in particular, its aura of exclusivity. Maintaining the value of our brand will depend significantly on our ability to continue to produce luxury performance cars of the highest quality. The market for luxury goods generally and for luxury automobiles in particular is intensely competitive, and we may not be successful in maintaining and strengthening the appeal of our brand. Client preferences, particularly among luxury goods, can vary over time, sometimes rapidly. We are therefore exposed to changing perceptions of our brand image, particularly as we seek to attract new generations of clients and, to that end, we continuously renovate and expand the range of our models. For example, the gradual expansion of hybrid engine technology (already integrated in past models such as the LaFerrari and the LaFerrari Aperta, as well as in the more recent 296 GTB, SF90 Stradale and SF90 Spider) and electric engine technology will introduce a notable change in the overall driver experience compared to the combustion engine cars of our historical models. Any failure to preserve and enhance the value of our brand may materially and adversely affect our ability to sell our cars, to maintain premium pricing, and to extend the value of our brand into other activities profitably or at all.
We selectively license the Ferrari brand to third parties that produce and sell Ferrari-branded luxury goods and therefore we rely on our licensing partners to preserve and enhance the value of our brand. If our licensees or the manufacturers of these products do not maintain the standards of quality and exclusivity that we believe are consistent with the Ferrari brand, or if such licensees or manufacturers otherwise misuse the Ferrari brand, our reputation and the integrity and value of our brand may be damaged and our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in 2019 we announced a brand diversification strategy that will significantly increase the deployment of our brand in non-car products and experiences. If this strategy is not successful, our brand image may be diluted or tainted.
Our brand image depends in part on the success of our Formula 1 racing team.
The prestige, identity, and appeal of the Ferrari brand depend in part on the continued success of the Scuderia Ferrari racing team in the Formula 1 World Championship. The racing team is a key component of our marketing strategy and may be perceived by our clients as a demonstration of the technological capabilities of our sports, GT, special series and Icona cars, which also supports the appeal of other Ferrari-branded luxury goods. We are focused on improving our racing results and restoring our historical position as the premier racing team particularly in Formula 1 as our most recent Drivers’ Championship and Constructors’ Championship were in 2007 and 2008, respectively. If we are unable to attract and retain the necessary talent to succeed in international competitions or devote the capital necessary to fund successful racing activities, the value of the Ferrari brand and the appeal of our cars and other luxury goods may suffer. Even if we are able to attract such talent and adequately fund our racing activities, there is no assurance that this will lead to competitive success for our racing team.
The success of our racing team depends in particular on our ability to attract and retain top drivers, racing team management and engineering talent. Our primary Formula 1 drivers, team managers and other key employees of Scuderia Ferrari are critical to the success of our racing team and if we were to lose their services, this could have a material adverse effect on the success of our racing team and correspondingly the Ferrari brand. If we are unable to find adequate replacements or to attract, retain and incentivize drivers and team managers, other key employees or new qualified personnel, the success of our racing team may suffer. As the success of our racing team forms a large part of our brand identity, a sustained period without racing success could detract from the Ferrari brand and, as a result, from potential clients’
2


enthusiasm for the Ferrari brand and their perception of our cars, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic or similar public health crises that may materially and adversely affect our business
Public health crises such as pandemics or similar outbreaks could adversely impact our business. Starting in early 2020 the global spread of COVID-19 led to governments around the world mandating increasingly restrictive measures to contain the pandemic, including social distancing, quarantine, “shelter in place” or similar orders, travel restrictions and suspension of non-essential business activities. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruption to the global economy, including changes in consumer spending and behavior, disruption to supply chains and financial markets, as well as restrictions on business and individual activities. In 2020, the pandemic led to a global economic slowdown and a severe recession in several of the markets in which we operate and while economies recovered partially in 2021, the pandemic continues to be unpredictable and additional containment measures may lead to further economic downturns.
From mid-March to early May 2020, we temporarily suspended production at our plants in Maranello and Modena, while implementing remote working arrangements for all non-manufacturing related activities. We were able to return to full production in May 2020. We generally realize minimal revenue while our facilities are shut down, but we continue to incur expenses. Moreover, the negative cash impact is exacerbated by the fact that, despite not selling cars, we have to continue to pay suppliers for components previously ordered. We continue to take measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 at our facilities, while continuing to guarantee the possibility of remote work for those employees whose job activity is compatible with such work arrangements.
In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and related government measures, we experienced delays in shipments of cars from March 2020 to May 2020 due to restrictions on dealers’ activities or the inability of customers to take deliveries of cars. Although certain restrictions have remained in place or been reimplemented in some of the countries where Ferrari operates, since May 2020 substantially all Ferrari dealerships remained operational and order collections continued. For further information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and liquidity, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—COVID-19 Pandemic Update”. While the overall COVID-19 situation improved in 2021 in countries that have rolled out vaccination campaigns, our business and operating results may be negatively impacted if the virus worsens or mutates, if vaccination efforts are unsuccessful or if regions or countries implement further restrictions to contain the virus. The resurgence of the pandemic in several European countries and elsewhere in the last months of 2021, including due to the highly transmissible Delta and Omicron variants, have led governments to reintroduce containment measures and increasingly stringent restrictions may be imposed in the coming periods. We may yet experience a new shutdown or slowdown of all or part of our manufacturing facilities, including in the event that our employees are diagnosed with COVID-19 or our supply chains are disrupted, or if additional “waves” of the pandemic lead to further government actions. Management time and resources may need to be spent on COVID-19 related matters, distracting them from the implementation of our strategy. In addition, the prophylactic measures we have adopted or that we will be required to adopt at our facilities may be costly and may affect production levels. Our suppliers, customers, dealers, franchisees and other contractual counterparties may be restricted or prevented from conducting business activities for indefinite or intermittent periods of time, including as a result of safety concerns, shutdowns, slowdowns, illness of such parties’ workforce and other actions and restrictions requested or mandated by governmental authorities. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic may lead to financial distress for our suppliers or dealers, as a result of which they may have to permanently discontinue or substantially reduce their operations. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may lead to higher working capital needs, reduced liquidity and certain limitations in the supply of credit, which may ultimately lead to higher costs of capital for Ferrari. Any of the foregoing could limit customer demand or our capacity to meet customer demand and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our brand activities across different jurisdictions have also been, and may continue to be, adversely impacted, due to the temporary closure of the Ferrari stores, museums and theme parks in the first quarter of 2020 to comply with government orders, with an adverse impact on our revenues originating from such activities. Although Ferrari stores gradually reopened starting in May 2020, to date in-store traffic has not yet recovered to pre-pandemic levels and Ferrari stores, museums and theme parks may continue to be subject to certain restrictions as a result of local regulations, although overall brand activities have increased in 2021 compared to 2020.

The Formula 1 2021 World Championship was also disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, albeit to a lesser extent than the prior’s year edition. Government measures or decisions of Formula 1 may disrupt the Formula 1 2022 World Championship, with potential material adverse effects on our revenues and profits.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Ferrari’s results of operations and financial condition will depend largely on future events outside of our control, including ongoing developments in the pandemic, the success of containment measures, vaccination campaigns and other actions taken by governments around the world, as well as the overall condition and outlook of the global economy. While we are continuing to monitor and assess the evolution of the pandemic and its effects on both the macroeconomic scenario and our financial position and results of operations, significant uncertainty remains around the length and extent of the restrictions in the markets in which we operate. However, the effects on our business, results of operations, financial performance and cash flows may be material and adverse.
The COVID-19 pandemic may also exacerbate other risks disclosed in this section, including, but not limited to, our competitiveness, demand for our products, shifting consumer preferences, exchange rate fluctuations, customers’ and dealers’ access to affordable financing, and credit market conditions affecting the availability of capital and financial resources.
Please refer to “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—COVID-19 Pandemic Update” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Results of Operations” for additional information relating to how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted our results of operations and financial condition.
If we are unable to keep up with advances in high performance car technology, our brand and competitive position may suffer.
Performance cars are characterized by leading-edge technology that is constantly evolving. In particular, advances in racing technology often lead to improved technology in road cars. Although we invest heavily in research and development, we may be unable to maintain our leading position in high performance car technology and, as a result, our competitive position may suffer. As technologies change, we plan to upgrade or adapt our cars and introduce new models in order to continue to provide cars with the latest technology. However, our cars may not compete effectively with our competitors’ cars if we are not able to develop, source and integrate the latest technology into our cars. For example, in the next few years luxury performance cars will increasingly transition to hybrid and electric technology, albeit at a slower pace compared to mass market vehicles. See “The introduction of hybrid and electric technology in our cars is costly and its long-term success is uncertain”. We are also increasingly investing in connectivity, which requires significant investments in research and development; we expect that the future generation of cars will feature a high degree of connectivity for purposes of infotainment, safety and regulatory compliance.
Developing and applying new automotive technologies is costly, and may become even more costly in the future as available technology advances and competition in the industry increases. If our research and development efforts do not lead to improvements in car performance relative to the competition, or if we are required to spend more to achieve comparable results, the sales of our cars or our profitability may suffer.
If our car designs do not appeal to clients, our brand and competitive position may suffer.
Design and styling are an integral component of our models and our brand. Our cars have historically been characterized by distinctive designs combining the aerodynamics of a sports car with powerful, elegant lines. We believe our clients purchase our cars for their appearance as well as their performance. However, we will need to renew over time the style of our cars to differentiate the new models we produce from older models, and to reflect the broader evolution of aesthetics in our markets. We devote great efforts to the design of our cars and most of our current models are designed by the Ferrari Design Centre, our in-house design team. The design of our electric cars and, more generally, of our future models with increased connectivity features will depart from past designs in appearance and functionality, thereby requiring new skills and presenting new challenges. If the design of our future models fails to meet the evolving tastes and preferences of our clients and prospective clients, or the appreciation of the wider public, our brand may suffer and our sales may be adversely affected.
The value of our brand depends in part on the automobile collector and enthusiast community.
An important factor in the connection of clients to the Ferrari brand is our strong relationship with the global community of automotive collectors and enthusiasts, particularly collectors and enthusiasts of Ferrari automobiles. This is influenced by our close ties to the automotive collectors’ community and our support of related events (such as car shows and
4


driving events) at our headquarters in Maranello and through our dealers, the Ferrari museums and affiliations with regional Ferrari clubs. The support of this community also depends upon the perception of our cars as collectibles, which we also support through our Ferrari Classiche services, and the active resale market for our automobiles which encourages interest over the long-term. The increase in the number of cars we produce relative to the number of automotive collectors and purchasers in the secondary market may adversely affect our cars’ value as collectible items and in the secondary market more broadly.
If there is a change in collector appetite or damage to the Ferrari brand, our ties to, and the support we receive from, this community may be diminished. Such a loss of enthusiasm for our cars from the automotive collectors’ community could harm the perception of the Ferrari brand and adversely impact our sales and profitability.
Our business is subject to changes in client preferences and trends in the automotive and luxury industries.
Our continued success depends in part on our ability to originate and define products and trends in the automotive and luxury industries, as well as to anticipate and respond promptly to changing consumer demands and automotive trends in the design, styling, technology, production, merchandising and pricing of our products. Our products must appeal to a client base whose preferences cannot be predicted with certainty and are subject to rapid change. Evaluating and responding to client preferences has become even more complex in recent years, due to our expansion in new geographical markets. The introduction of hybrid and electric technology and the associated changes in customer preferences that may follow are also a challenge we will face in future periods. See also “If we are unable to keep up with advances in high performance car technology, our brand and competitive position may suffer” and “The introduction of hybrid and electric technology in our cars is costly and its long-term success is uncertain”. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to produce, distribute and market new products efficiently or that any product category that we may expand or introduce will achieve sales levels sufficient to generate profits. We will encounter this risk, for example, as we introduce the Purosangue, a luxury high performance vehicle within the GT range that we are developing and is expected to commence production in 2022 with deliveries starting in 2023. Furthermore this risk is particularly pronounced as we expand in accordance with our strategy into adjacent segments of the luxury industry, where we do not have a level of experience and market presence comparable to the one we have in the automotive industry. Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Demand for luxury goods, including luxury performance cars, is volatile, which may adversely affect our operating results.
Volatility of demand for luxury goods, in particular luxury performance cars, may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. The market in which we sell our cars is subject to volatility in demand. Demand for luxury automobiles depends to a large extent on general, economic, political and social conditions in a given market as well as the introduction of new vehicles and technologies. As a luxury performance car manufacturer and low volume producer, we compete with larger automobile manufacturers many of which have greater financial resources in order to withstand changes in the market and disruptions in demand. Demand for our cars may also be affected by factors directly impacting the cost of purchasing and operating automobiles, such as the availability and cost of financing, prices of raw materials and parts and components, fuel costs and governmental regulations, including tariffs, import regulation and other taxes, including taxes on luxury goods, resulting in limitations to the use of high performance sports cars or luxury goods more generally. Volatility in demand may lead to lower car unit sales, which may result in downward price pressure and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. The impact of a luxury market downturn may be particularly pronounced for the most expensive among our car models, which generate a more than proportionate amount of our profits, therefore exacerbating the impact on our results. In addition, these effects may have a more pronounced impact on us given our low volume strategy and relatively smaller scale as compared to large global mass-market automobile manufacturers.
We face competition in the luxury performance car industry.
We face competition in all product categories and markets in which we operate. We compete with other international luxury performance car manufacturers which own and operate well-known brands of high-quality cars, some of which form part of larger automotive groups and may have greater financial resources and bargaining power with suppliers than we do, particularly in light of our policy to maintain low volumes in order to preserve and enhance the exclusivity of our cars. In addition, several other manufacturers have recently entered or are attempting to enter the upper end of the luxury performance car market, including with advanced electric technology, thereby increasing competition. We believe that we compete primarily on the basis of our brand image, the performance and design of our cars, our reputation for quality and the
5


driving experience for our customers. If we are unable to compete successfully, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Our controlled growth strategy exposes us to risks.
Our growth strategy includes a controlled expansion of our sales and operations, including the launching of new car models and expanding sales, as well as dealer operations and workshops, in targeted growth regions internationally. In particular, our growth strategy requires us to expand operations in regions that we have identified as having relatively high growth potential. We may encounter difficulties in entering and establishing ourselves in these markets, including in establishing new successful dealership networks and facing more significant competition from competitors that are already present in those regions.
Our growth depends on the continued success of our existing cars, as well as the successful introduction of new cars. Our ability to create new cars and to sustain existing car models is affected by whether we can successfully anticipate and respond to consumer preferences and car trends. The failure to develop successful new cars or delays in their launch that could result in others bringing new products and leading-edge technologies to the market first, could compromise our competitive position and hinder the growth of our business. As part of our growth strategy, we plan to broaden the range of our models to capture additional customer demand for different types of vehicles and modes of utilization. At our Capital Markets Day in September 2018, we announced our plan to introduce 15 new models in the 2019-2022 period (which is unprecedented for Ferrari over a similar time period), including the Icona limited editions, a concept that takes inspiration from our iconic cars of the past and interprets them in a modern way with innovative technology and materials. In the GT range, we are developing a luxury high performance vehicle, the Purosangue, and we are developing a new line of cars powered by V6 engines, starting with the 296 GTB, which was unveiled in June 2021. In addition, we will gradually but rapidly expand the use of hybrid and electric technology in our road cars, consistent with customer preferences and broader industry trends. While we will seek to ensure that these changes remain fully consistent with the Ferrari car identity, we cannot be certain that they will prove profitable and commercially successful.
Our growth strategy may expose us to new business risks that we may not have the expertise, capability or the systems to manage. This strategy will also place significant demands on us by requiring us to continuously evolve and improve our operational, financial and internal controls. Continued expansion also increases the challenges involved in maintaining high levels of quality, management and client satisfaction, recruiting, training and retaining sufficiently skilled management, technical and marketing personnel. If we are unable to manage these risks or meet these demands, our growth prospects and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We continuously improve our international network footprint and skill set. We also plan to open additional retail stores in international markets. We do not yet have significant experience directly operating in many of these markets, and in many of them we face established competitors. Many of these countries have different operational characteristics, including but not limited to employment and labor, transportation, logistics, real estate, environmental regulations and local reporting or legal requirements.
Consumer demand and behavior, as well as tastes and purchasing trends may differ in these markets, and as a result, sales of our products may not be successful, or the margins on those sales may not be in line with those we currently anticipate. Furthermore, such markets will have upfront short-term investment costs that may not be accompanied by sufficient revenues to achieve typical or expected operational and financial performance and therefore may be dilutive to us in the short-term. In many of these countries, there is significant competition to attract and retain experienced and talented employees.
Consequently, if our international expansion plans are unsuccessful, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Our low volume strategy may limit potential profits, and if volumes increase our brand exclusivity may be eroded.
A key to the appeal of the Ferrari brand and our marketing strategy is the aura of exclusivity and the sense of luxury which our brand conveys. A central facet to this exclusivity is the limited number of models and cars we produce and our strategy of maintaining our car waiting lists to reach the optimal combination of exclusivity and client service. Our low volume strategy is also an important factor in the prices that our clients are willing to pay for our cars. This focus on
6


maintaining exclusivity limits our potential sales growth and profits compared to manufacturers less reliant on the exclusivity of their products.
On the other hand, our current growth strategy contemplates a measured but significant increase in car sales above current levels as we target a larger customer base and modes of use, we increase our focus on GT cars, and our product portfolio evolves with a broader product range. We sold 11,155 cars in 2021 compared to 7,255 cars in 2014, and sales are expected to continue to increase gradually.
In pursuit of our strategy, we may be unable to maintain the exclusivity of the Ferrari brand. If we are unable to balance brand exclusivity with increased production, we may erode the desirability and ultimately the consumer demand or relative pricing for our cars. As a result, if we are unable to increase car production meaningfully or introduce new car models without eroding the image of exclusivity in our brand we may be unable to significantly increase our revenues.
The small number of car models we produce and sell may result in greater volatility in our financial results.
We depend on the sales of a small number of car models to generate our revenues. Our current product range consists of eight range models (six sports cars and two GT cars), two special series models and three strictly limited edition Icona models. While we anticipate expanding our car offerings as part of our growth strategy, through our previously announced plan to introduce 15 new products in the 2019-2022 period, a limited number of models will continue to account for a large portion of our revenues at any given time in the foreseeable future, compared to other automakers. Therefore, a single unsuccessful new model would harm us more than it would other automakers. There can be no assurance that our cars will continue to be successful in the market, or that we will be able to launch new models on a timely basis compared to our competitors. It generally takes several years from the beginning of the development phase to the start of production for a new model and the car development process is capital intensive. As a result, we would likely be unable to replace quickly the revenue lost from one of our main car models if it does not achieve market acceptance. Furthermore, our revenues and profits may also be affected by our special series and limited edition models (including the Icona limited editions) that we launch from time to time and which are typically priced higher than our range models. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing, producing and marketing additional new cars (including our special series and limited edition models) to sustain sales growth in the future.
Global economic conditions, pandemics and macro events may adversely affect us.
Our sales volumes and revenues may be affected by overall general economic conditions within the various countries in which we operate. Deteriorating general economic conditions may affect disposable incomes and reduce consumer wealth impacting client demand, particularly for luxury goods, which may negatively impact our profitability and put downward pressure on our prices and volumes. Furthermore, during recessionary periods, social acceptability of luxury purchases may decrease and higher taxes may be more likely to be imposed on certain luxury goods including our cars, which may affect our sales. Adverse economic conditions may also affect the financial health and performance of our dealers in a manner that will affect sales of our cars or their ability to meet their commitments to us.
The luxury performance car market is generally affected by global macroeconomic conditions and many factors affect the level of consumer spending in the luxury performance car industry, including the state of the economy as a whole, stock market performance, interest and exchange rates, inflation, political uncertainty, the availability of consumer credit, tax rates, unemployment levels and other matters that influence consumer confidence. In general, although our sales have historically been comparatively resilient in periods of economic turmoil, sales of luxury goods tend to decline during recessionary periods when the level of disposable income tends to be lower or when consumer confidence is low. Significant inflationary pressures appeared in 2021 in many of the markets in which we operate and this trend has continued in early 2022. If this trend continues going forward, we could experience an increase in the costs we incur for raw materials, utilities or services, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations if we are not able to pass on the increased costs to our customers or successfully implement other mitigating actions. Furthermore, following the recent rise in inflation, many central banks are signaling that interest rate increases may be expected in the coming months, which is in turn expected to increase our cost of borrowing and the market rates for new car financing as well. Such increases could impact our ability to obtain affordable financing or could make our cars less affordable to clients, which could cause consumers to delay the purchase of our cars or to purchase less expensive cars.
We are also susceptible to risks relating to epidemics and pandemics of diseases. See “We are subject to risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic that may materially and adversely affect our business”.

We distribute our products internationally and we may be affected by downturns in general economic conditions or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects that may impact the countries in which we sell a significant portion of our products. In particular, the majority of our current sales are in the EU and in the United States; if we are unable to expand in other growth markets, a downturn in mature economies such as the EU and the United States may negatively affect our financial performance. In addition, uncertainties regarding future trade arrangements and industrial policies in various countries or regions, such as in the United Kingdom following the exit from the European Union (see further “We may be adversely affected by the UK’s exit from the European Union (Brexit)”) create additional macroeconomic risk. In the United States, any policy to discourage import into the United States of vehicles produced elsewhere could adversely affect our operations. Any new policies may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan only represented approximately 8 percent of our net revenues in 2021 and is expected to represent a limited proportion of our growth in the short term, slowing economic conditions in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan may adversely affect our revenues in that region. A significant decline in the EU, the global economy or in the specific economies of our markets, or in consumers’ confidence, could have a material adverse effect on our business. See also “Developments in China and other growth markets may adversely affect our business”.
Additionally, sanctions and export controls which could be introduced as a result of geopolitical tensions and conflicts could adversely affect, directly or indirectly, our supply chain and customers, as well as the global financial markets and financial services industry. See also “We depend on our suppliers, many of which are single source suppliers; and if these suppliers fail to deliver necessary raw materials, systems, components and parts of appropriate quality in a timely manner, our operations may be disrupted”.
Developments in China and other growth markets may adversely affect our business.
We operate in a number of growth markets, both directly and through our dealers. We believe we have potential for further success in new geographies, in particular in China, but also more generally in Asia, recognizing the increasing personal wealth in these markets. While demand in these markets has increased in recent years due to sustained economic growth and growth in personal income and wealth, we are unable to foresee the extent to which economic growth will be sustained. For example, rising geopolitical tensions and potential slowdowns in the rate of growth there and in other emerging markets could limit the opportunity for us to increase unit sales and revenues in those regions in the near term.
Our exposure to growth countries is likely to increase, as we pursue expanded sales in such countries. Economic and political developments in growth markets, including economic crises or political instability, have had and could have in the future material adverse effects on our results of operations and financial condition. Further, in certain markets in which we or our dealers operate, required government approvals may limit our ability to act quickly in making decisions on our operations in those markets. Other government actions may also impact the market for luxury goods in these markets, such as tax changes or the active discouragement of luxury purchases. Consumer spending habits in these markets may also change due to other factors that are outside of our control. For instance, since August 2021 the President of the People’s Republic of China has repeatedly signaled the government’s intention to regulate the spending patterns of individuals and families with ultra-high incomes and encourage high-income groups and enterprises to return more to society. While no regulatory action has been taken to date, similar statements by governmental authorities may affect the social acceptability of spending on luxury goods.
Maintaining and strengthening our position in these growth markets is a relevant component of our global growth strategy. However, initiatives from several global luxury automotive manufacturers have increased competitive pressures for luxury cars in several growth markets. As these markets continue to grow, we anticipate that additional competitors, both international and domestic, will seek to enter these markets and that existing market participants will try to aggressively protect or increase their market share. Increased competition may result in pricing pressures, reduced margins and our inability to gain or hold market share, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. See also “Global economic conditions, pandemics and macro events may adversely affect us”.
We may be adversely affected by the UK’s exit from the European Union (Brexit).
In a June 23, 2016 referendum, the United Kingdom voted to terminate the UK’s membership in the European Union (“Brexit”). The UK ceased to be a member of the European Union on January 31, 2020. On December 24, 2020, the European Union and the UK announced that they had reached a new bilateral trade and cooperation agreement governing their future relationship (the “EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement”) which was formally approved by the European Council on December 29, 2020 and by the UK parliament on December 30, 2020. The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation
8


Agreement was subsequently ratified by the European Parliament and entered into force on May 1, 2021.

Under the terms of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, exports of cars between the European Union and the United Kingdom are exempt from tariffs, to the extent the goods contain a certain quantity of EU or UK inputs, as applicable. The application of such rules may result in increased costs for us or for our suppliers (which, in turn, they could seek to transfer to us), and difficulties in the procurement of parts. In addition, the new customs procedures set forth in the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement may result in increased operational complexity, with full import controls for goods being imported from the European Union to the United Kingdom expected to be gradually introduced by the United Kingdom throughout 2022. While the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement provides clarity with respect to the intended relationship between the European Union and the United Kingdom going forward, uncertainty remains around the details of such relationship, which remain in progress and could evolve over time, and the full extent of the consequences of Brexit. Brexit could also negatively impact economic conditions in Europe more generally, which in turn could adversely impact global economic conditions. In addition, Brexit may contribute to significant volatility in exchange rates. In 2021, approximately 11 percent of our net revenues were generated in the UK; therefore, any material adverse effect of Brexit on global or regional economic or market conditions could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition as customers may reduce or delay spending decisions on our products.
Our success depends largely on the ability of our current management team to operate and manage effectively.
Our success depends on the ability of our senior executives and other members of management to effectively manage our business as a whole and individual areas of the business. Most of our senior executives and employees, including many highly skilled engineers, technicians and artisans, are required to work from our offices and production facilities in and around Maranello, Italy. If we were to lose the services of any of these senior executives or key employees, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. We have developed incentive plans aimed at retaining and incentivizing our senior executives and employees, as well as management succession plans that we believe are appropriate in the circumstances, although it is difficult to predict with any certainty that we will replace these individuals with persons of equivalent experience and capabilities. If we are unable to find adequate replacements or to attract, retain and incentivize senior executives, other key employees or new qualified personnel, our business, results of operations and financial condition may suffer.
We rely on our dealer network to provide sales and services.
We do not own our Ferrari dealers and virtually all of our sales are made through our network of dealerships located throughout the world. If our dealers are unable to provide sales or service quality that our clients expect or do not otherwise adequately project the Ferrari image and its aura of luxury and exclusivity, the Ferrari brand may be negatively affected. We depend on the quality of our dealership network and our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected if our dealers suffer financial difficulties or otherwise are unable to perform to our expectations. Furthermore, we may experience disagreements or disputes in the course of our relationship with our dealers or upon termination which may lead to financial costs, disruptions and reputational harm.
Our growth strategy also depends on our ability to attract a sufficient number of quality new dealers to sell our products in new areas. We may face competition from other luxury performance car manufacturers in attracting quality new dealers, based on, among other things, dealer margin, incentives and the performance of other dealers in the region. If we are unable to attract a sufficient number of new Ferrari dealers in targeted growth areas, our prospects could be materially adversely affected.
We depend on our suppliers, many of which are single source suppliers; and if these suppliers fail to deliver necessary raw materials, systems, components and parts of appropriate quality in a timely manner, our operations may be disrupted.
Our business depends on a significant number of suppliers, which provide the raw materials, components, parts and systems we require to manufacture cars and parts and to operate our business. We use a variety of raw materials in our business, including aluminum, and precious metals such as palladium and rhodium. We source materials from a limited number of suppliers. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain access to these raw materials, and in some cases this access may be affected by factors outside of our control and the control of our suppliers. In addition, prices for these raw materials fluctuate and while we seek to manage this exposure, we may not be successful in mitigating these risks.
As with raw materials, we are also at risk of supply disruption and shortages in parts and components we purchase for use in our cars. We source a variety of key components from third parties, including transmissions, brakes, driving-safety systems, navigation systems, mechanical, electrical and electronic parts, plastic components as well as castings and tires,
9


which makes us dependent upon the suppliers of such components. In coming years, we will also require a greater number of components for hybrid and electric engines as we introduce hybrid and electric technology in our cars, and we expect producers of these components will be called upon to increase the levels of supply as the shift to hybrid or electric technology gathers pace in the industry. While we obtain components from multiple sources whenever possible, similar to other small volume car manufacturers, most of the key components we use in our cars are purchased by us from single source suppliers. We generally do not qualify alternative sources for most of the single-sourced components we use in our cars and we do not maintain long-term agreements with a number of our suppliers. Furthermore, we have limited ability to monitor the financial stability of our suppliers.
While we believe that we may be able to establish alternate supply relationships and can obtain or engineer replacement components for our single-sourced components, we may be unable to do so in the short term, or at all, at prices or costs that we believe are reasonable. Qualifying alternate suppliers or developing our own replacements for certain highly customized components of our cars may be time consuming, costly and may force us to make costly modifications to the designs of our cars. For example, defective airbags manufactured by Takata Corporation (“Takata”), our former principal supplier of airbags, have led to widespread recalls by several automotive manufacturers starting in 2015, including us (see further “Car recalls may be costly and may harm our reputation”; see also “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Regulatory Matters—Vehicle safety”). Following the acquisition of Takata by Key Safety Systems (“KSS”) in April 2018, Joyson Safety Systems, which is the combined company of Takata and KSS following the acquisition, is our principal supplier of the airbags installed in our cars. Failure by Joyson Safety Systems to continue the supply of airbags may cause significant disruption to our operations.

In the past, we have replaced certain suppliers because they failed to provide components that met our quality control standards. The loss of any single or limited source supplier or the disruption in the supply of components from these suppliers could lead to delays in car deliveries to our clients, which could adversely affect our relationships with our clients and also materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. The supply of raw materials, parts and components may also be disrupted or interrupted by natural disasters, or by unexpected fluctuations in market demand and supply, such as the ongoing global shortage of semiconductors that started in 2021, which is impacting the automotive industry in particular. If any major disasters occur, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, wars, terrorist attacks, pandemics or other events, our supply chain may be disrupted, which may stop or delay production and shipment of our cars. As a result of the current geopolitical tensions and conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the recent recognition by Russia of the independence of the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, in the Donbas region of Ukraine, the governments of the United States, the European Union, Japan and other jurisdictions have recently announced the imposition of sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia and the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, as well as enhanced export controls on certain products and industries. These and any additional sanctions and export controls, as well as any counterresponses by the governments of Russia or other jurisdictions, could adversely affect, directly or indirectly, our supply chain, with negative implications on the availability and prices of raw materials, and our customers, as well as the global financial markets and financial services industry. See also “We are subject to risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic that may materially and adversely affect our business” for a discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may affect our supply chain directly or indirectly.
Changes in our supply chain have in the past resulted and may in the future result in increased costs and delays in car production. We have also experienced cost increases from certain suppliers in order to meet our quality targets and development timelines and because of design changes that we have made, and we may experience similar cost increases in the future. We are negotiating with existing suppliers for cost reductions, seeking new and less expensive suppliers for certain parts, and attempting to redesign certain parts to make them less expensive to produce. If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to control and reduce supplier costs while maintaining a stable source of high quality supplies, our operating results will suffer. Additionally, cost reduction efforts may disrupt our normal production processes, thereby harming the quality or volume of our production.
Furthermore, if our suppliers fail to provide components in a timely manner or at the level of quality necessary to manufacture our cars, our clients may face longer waiting periods which could result in negative publicity, harm our reputation and relationship with clients and have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We depend on our manufacturing facilities in Maranello and Modena.
We assemble all of the cars that we sell and manufacture, and all of the engines we use in our cars and sell to Maserati, at our production facility in Maranello, Italy, where we also have our corporate headquarters. We manufacture all
10


of our car chassis in a nearby facility in Modena, Italy. Our Maranello or Modena plants could become unavailable either permanently or temporarily for a number of reasons, including contamination, power shortage or labor unrest. Alternatively, changes in law and regulation, including export, tax and employment laws and regulations, or economic conditions, including wage inflation, could make it uneconomic for us to continue manufacturing our cars in Italy. In the event that we were unable to continue production at either of these facilities or it became uneconomic for us to continue to do so, we would need to seek alternative manufacturing arrangements which would take time and reduce our ability to produce sufficient cars to meet demand. Moving manufacturing to other locations may also affect the perception of our brand and car quality among our clients. Such a transfer would materially reduce our revenues and could require significant investment, which as a result could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Maranello and Modena are located in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy which has the potential for seismic activity. For instance, in 2012 a major earthquake struck the region, causing production at our facilities to be temporarily suspended for one day. If major disasters such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, wars, terrorist attacks, pandemics or other events occur, our headquarters and production facilities may be seriously damaged, or we may stop or delay production and shipment of our cars. See also “We are subject to risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic that may materially and adversely affect our business” for a discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such damage from disasters or unpredictable events could have a material adverse impact on our business, results from operations and financial condition.
We rely on our licensing and franchising partners to preserve the value of our licenses and the failure to maintain such partners could harm our business.
We currently have multi-year agreements with licensing partners for various Ferrari-branded products in the sports, lifestyle and luxury retail segments. We also have multi-year agreements with franchising partners for our Ferrari stores and theme park. In the future, we may enter into additional licensing or franchising arrangements. Many of the risks associated with our own products, including risks relating to the image of the Ferrari brand and its aura of exclusivity, as well as to the demand for luxury goods, also apply to our licensed products and franchised stores. In addition, there are problems that our licensing or franchising partners may experience, including risks associated with each licensing partner’s ability to obtain capital, manage its labor relations, maintain relationships with its suppliers, manage its credit and bankruptcy risks, and maintain client relationships. While we maintain significant control over the products produced for us by our licensing partners and the franchisees running our Ferrari stores and theme parks, any of the foregoing risks, or the inability of any of our licensing or franchising partners to execute on the expected design and quality of the licensed products, Ferrari stores and theme park, or otherwise exercise operational and financial control over its business, may result in loss of revenue and competitive harm to our operations in the product categories where we have entered into such licensing or franchising arrangements. While we select our licensing and franchising partners with care, any negative publicity surrounding such partners could have a negative effect on licensed products, the Ferrari stores and theme parks or the Ferrari brand. Further, while we believe that we could replace our existing licensing or franchising partners if required, our inability to do so for any period of time could materially adversely affect our revenues and harm our business.
In connection with our new brand diversification strategy announced in November 2019, we continue to streamline our existing arrangements with licensing partners and decrease the volume of our licensing business. This may adversely affect our results from brand activities, particularly in the short to medium term while our broader brand diversification strategy is carried out.
We depend on the strength of our trademarks and other intellectual property rights.
Given the importance of our brand’s recognition on our financial performance and strategy, we believe that our trademarks and other intellectual property rights are fundamental to our success and market position. Therefore, our business depends on our ability to protect and promote our trademarks and other intellectual property rights. Accordingly, we devote substantial efforts to the establishment and protection of our trademarks and other intellectual property rights such as registered designs and patents on a worldwide basis. We believe that our trademarks and other intellectual property rights are adequately supported by applications for registrations, existing registrations and other legal protections in our principal markets. However, we cannot exclude the possibility that our intellectual property rights may be challenged by others, or that we may be unable to register our trademarks or otherwise adequately protect them in some jurisdictions, especially in those foreign countries that do not respect and protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the United States, Japan and European countries. If a third party were to register our trademarks, or similar trademarks, in a country where we have not successfully registered such trademarks, it could create a barrier to our commencing trade under those marks in that country.
11


We may fail to adequately protect our intellectual and industrial property rights against infringement or misappropriation by third parties.
Our success and competitive positioning depend on, among other factors, our registered intellectual property rights, as well as other industrial or intellectual property rights, including confidential know-how, trade secrets, database rights and copyrights. To protect our intellectual property, we rely on intellectual property laws, agreements for the protection of trade secrets, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, and other contractual means. Such measures, however, may be inadequate and our intellectual property rights may be infringed or challenged by third parties, and our confidential know-how or trade secrets could be misappropriated or disclosed to the public without our consent. Consultants, vendors and current and former employees, for example, could violate their confidentiality obligations and restrictions on the use of Ferrari’s intellectual property. Ferrari may not be able to prevent such infringements, misappropriations or disclosures, with potential adverse effects on our brand, reputation and business. In particular, our components may be subject to product piracy, where our components are counterfeited, which may result in reputational risk for Ferrari. The risks described above arise particularly in our Brand activities (see “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Brand Diversification Strategy”).
If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, this may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition, as other manufacturers may be able to manufacture similar products at lower cost, with adverse effects on our competitive position. In addition, counterfeited products, or products illegally branded as “Ferrari”, may damage our brand. In addition, we may incur high costs in reacting to infringements or misappropriations of our intellectual property rights.
Third parties may claim that we infringe their intellectual property rights.
We believe that we hold all the rights required for our business operations (including intellectual property rights and third-party licenses). However, we are exposed to potential claims from third parties alleging that we infringe their intellectual property rights, since many competitors and suppliers also submit patent applications for their inventions and secure patent protection or other intellectual property rights. If we are unsuccessful in defending against any such claim, we may be required to pay damages or comply with injunctions which may disrupt our operations. We may also as a result be forced to enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms or to redesign products to comply with third parties’ intellectual property rights.
Our revenues from Formula 1 activities may decline and our related expenses may grow.
Revenues from our Formula 1 activities depend principally on the income from our sponsorship agreements and on our share of Formula 1 revenues from broadcasting and other sources. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview-Formula 1 Activities.” If we are unable to renew our existing sponsorship agreements or if we enter into new or renewed sponsorship agreements with less favorable terms, our revenues would decline. In addition, our share of profits related to Formula 1 activities may decline if either our team’s performance worsens compared to other competing teams, or if the overall Formula 1 business suffers, including potentially as a result of increasing popularity of the FIA Formula E championship or other racing events. Furthermore, in order to compete effectively on track we have been investing significant resources in research and development and to competitively compensate the best available drivers and other racing team members. These expenses also vary based on changes in Formula 1 regulations that require modification to our racing engines and cars. These expenses are expected to continue, and may grow further, including as a result of any changes in Formula 1 regulations, which would negatively affect our results of operations.
On October 31, 2019, the World Council (Formula 1’s legislative body) approved new technical, sporting and financial rules, following the extensive talks held in the past two years among the owners of the Formula 1 business and all teams with regards to the arrangements relating to the participation of Ferrari and the other teams competing in the championship in the period following the 2020 expiration of the previous arrangements between racing teams and the operator of Formula 1. The new rules provide for, among other things, a new car design, a cap of $142 million in 2022 and $137 million in 2023 (assuming 23 grand prix races in both years), to be further reduced in subsequent years, for all costs and expenses covering on-track performance (excluding, among others, the activities to enable the supply of power units, marketing costs, drivers’ salaries and the top three personnel at each team), limits on car upgrades over race weekends, restrictions on the number of times that certain components can be replaced during a race and the standardization of certain parts. While it was originally planned that the new sporting and technical regulations would come into effect in 2021, in March 2020, Formula 1, FIA and the racing teams agreed to postpone effectiveness of such regulations to 2022 due to the disruption to the 2020 Formula 1 season caused by COVID-19. The financial regulations (including the budget cap) came into force on January 1, 2021. Compliance with the final set of rules approved by the World Council requires significant
12


changes to our racing cars, processes and operations, and the rules may be subject to further changes in the future. If we are unable to effectively adapt our cars to comply with changes in Formula 1 regulations, our performance at the races may suffer. These changes may result in adverse effects on our revenues and results of operations. In particular, the new cap on expenses affects the amount of resources that we are allowed to allocate to Formula 1 activities, with potential adverse effects on our team’s performance if we are not able to optimize such resources.
Engine production revenues are dependent on Maserati’s ability to sell its cars.
We produce V8 and V6 engines for Maserati. We have a multi-year arrangement with Maserati to provide V6 engines through 2023. While Maserati is required to compensate us for certain production costs, in the event that the sales of Maserati cars decline compared to the contractual requirements of our engine production agreements with Maserati, our revenues from the sale of engines may be adversely affected.
We face risks associated with our international operations, including unfavorable regulatory, political, tax and labor conditions and establishing ourselves in new markets, all of which could harm our business.
We currently have international operations and subsidiaries in various countries and jurisdictions in Europe, North America and Asia that are subject to the legal, political, regulatory, tax and social requirements and economic conditions in these jurisdictions. Additionally, as part of our growth strategy, we will continue to expand our sales, maintenance, and repair services internationally. However, such expansion requires us to make significant expenditures, including the establishment of local operating entities, hiring of local employees and establishing facilities in advance of generating any revenue. We are subject to a number of risks associated with international business activities that may increase our costs, impact our ability to sell our cars and require significant management attention. These risks include:
conforming our cars to various international regulatory and safety requirements where our cars are sold, or homologated;
difficulty in establishing, staffing and managing foreign operations;
difficulties attracting clients in new jurisdictions;
foreign government taxes, regulations and permit requirements, including foreign taxes that we may not be able to offset against taxes imposed upon us in Italy;
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, including risks related to any interest rate swap or other hedging activities we undertake;
our ability to enforce our contractual and intellectual property rights, especially in those foreign countries that do not respect and protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the United States, Japan and European countries, which increases the risk of unauthorized, and uncompensated, use of our technology;
European Union and foreign government trade restrictions, customs regulations, tariffs and price or exchange controls;
foreign labor laws, regulations and restrictions;
preferences of foreign nations for domestically produced cars;
changes in diplomatic and trade relationships;
political instability, natural disasters, war or events of terrorism; and
the strength of international economies.
If we fail to successfully address these risks, many of which we cannot control, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially harmed.

New laws, regulations, or policies of governmental organizations regarding increased fuel economy requirements, reduced greenhouse gas or pollutant emissions, or vehicle safety, or changes in existing laws, may have a significant effect on our costs of operation and/or how we do business.
We are subject throughout the world to comprehensive and constantly evolving laws, regulations and policies. We expect the extent of the legal and regulatory requirements affecting our business and our costs of compliance to continue to increase significantly in the future. In Europe and the United States, for example, significant governmental regulation is driven by environmental, fuel economy, vehicle safety and noise emission concerns. Evolving regulatory requirements could significantly affect our product development plans and may limit the number and types of cars we sell and where we sell them, which may affect our revenue. Governmental regulations may increase the costs we incur to design, develop and produce our cars and may affect our product portfolio. Regulation may also result in a change in the character or performance characteristics of our cars which may render them less appealing to our clients. We anticipate that the number and extent of these regulations, and their effect on our cost structure and product line-up, will increase significantly in the future.
Current European legislation limits fleet average greenhouse gas emissions for new passenger cars. Due to our small volume manufacturer (“SVM”) status we benefit from a derogation from the existing emissions requirement and we are instead required to meet, by 2021, alternative targets for our fleet of EU-registered vehicles. Despite global shipments exceeding 10,000 vehicles in 2019, Ferrari still qualifies as an SVM under EU regulations, since its total number of registered vehicles in the EU per year is less than 10,000 vehicles. On July, 14, 2021, the European Commission published a proposal to amend the EU 2019/631, which, among other things, would repeal from 2030 the derogation granted to SMVs. If the proposed amendment is confirmed in the final rule, this may have a significant effect on our costs.
Switzerland has historically adopted the targets approved by the European Commission. On November 24, 2021, the Swiss Federal Council amended the CO2 emission regulations for cars and vans and starting from January 1, 2022 the vehicles of niche and small volume manufacturers will have to meet the same CO2 emission targets as those of large volume manufacturers. This change in legislation is expected to result in additional costs for Ferrari, either through penalties or the purchase of emissions credits from other manufacturers.
In the United States, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) have set the federal standards for passenger cars and light trucks to meet certain combined average greenhouse gas (“GHG”) and fuel economy (“CAFE”) levels and more stringent standards have been prescribed for model years 2017 through 2025. Since Ferrari is considered to be an SVM under EPA GHG regulations (as it produces less than 5,000 vehicles per model year for the US market), we expect to benefit from a derogation from currently applicable standards. We also petitioned the EPA for alternative standards for the model years 2017-2021 and 2022-2025, which are aligned to our technical and economic capabilities. On June 25, 2020, the EPA Administrator signed the final determination for alternative GHG standards for SVMs for model years 2017 through 2021 and issued final alternative GHG standards for us and other SVMs. In September 2016 we petitioned the NHTSA for recognition as an independent manufacturer of less than 10,000 vehicles produced globally and we proposed alternative CAFE standards for model years 2017, 2018 and 2019. Then, in December, 2017, we amended the petition by proposing alternative CAFE standards for model years 2016, 2017 and 2018 instead, covering also the 2016 model year. In 2019, our global production exceeded 10,000 vehicles, and therefore we are no longer considered an SVM by the NHTSA for the model year 2019. We previously purchased the CAFE credits needed to fulfill this deficit. On July 15, 2020, we submitted to the NHTSA a petition for an exemption from the CAFE standards for the model year 2020. We proceeded with this submission because, although Ferrari originally intended to produce more than 10,000 vehicles in 2020, actual production was lower than 10,000 vehicles as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related shutdown of our production facilities. Therefore, since we met the NHTSA definition of SVM, we have requested an alternative fleet average GHG standard for model year 2020. The NHTSA has confirmed that it will not send a shortfall letter to Ferrari requiring payment of CAFE civil penalties or the application of CAFE credits with regard to model year 2020 until the NHTSA has ruled on Ferrari’s petitions for an alternative standard. If our petitions are rejected, we will not be able to benefit from the more favorable CAFE standard levels which we have petitioned for and this may require us to purchase additional CAFE credits in order to comply with applicable CAFE standards. In 2021, our global production exceeded 10,000 vehicles again, and therefore we are no longer considered SVM by the NHTSA for the model year 2021. We already purchased the CAFE credits needed to fulfill our 2021 deficit. We expect to adopt the same approach in the coming years.
In the United States, considerable uncertainty is associated with emissions regulations in light of changing policies under the past and newly appointed administration. New regulations are in the process of being developed, and many existing and potential regulatory initiatives are subject to review by federal or state agencies or the courts. On March, 31, 2020, the
14


NHTSA and the EPA issued the final Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule (the “SAFE Vehicles Rule”) setting CAFE and carbon dioxide emissions standards for model years 2021-2026 passenger cars and light trucks. Under the SAFE Vehicles Rule, the overall stringency of the federal standards is significantly reduced from the levels previously set: the final rule will increase stringency of CAFE and CO2 emissions standards by 1.5 percent each year through model year 2026, as compared with the previous standards issued in 2012, which would have required annual increases of approximately 5 percent. In May 2021, the NHTSA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing to fully repeal the regulatory text and appendices promulgated in the SAFE Vehicles Rule. In August 2021, the EPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing to strengthen federal GHG emissions standards for passenger cars and light trucks by setting stringent requirements for reductions from model years 2023-2026. Consistent with the EPA approach, in September 2021, NHTSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing revised fuel economy standards for passenger cars and light trucks for model years 2024-2026. The EPA and the NHTSA did not propose any changes to the regulations regarding SVM status or alternative standards.
In the state of California (which has been granted special authority under the Clean Air Act to set its own vehicle emission standards), the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) has enacted regulations under which manufacturers of vehicles for model years 2012-2025 which are in compliance with the EPA greenhouse gas emissions regulations are also deemed to be in compliance with California’s greenhouse gas emission regulations (the so-called “deemed to comply” option). On December 12, 2018 the CARB amended its existing regulations to clarify that the “deemed-to-comply” provision would not be available for model years 2021-2025 if the EPA standards for those years were altered via an amendment of federal regulations. On September 19, 2019, the NHTSA and the EPA established the “One National Program” for fuel economy regulation, announcing the EPA’s decision to withdraw California’s waiver of preemption under the Clean Air Act, and by affirming the NHTSA’s authority to set nationally applicable regulatory standards under the preemption provisions of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). California and other states, along with the cities of Los Angeles and New York, initiated litigation to challenge this final rule. Several environmental groups have also challenged such final rule. Ferrari currently avails itself of the “deemed-to-comply” provision to comply with CARB greenhouse gas emissions regulations. Therefore, depending on future developments, it may be necessary to also petition the CARB for SVM alternative standards and to increase the number of tests to be performed in order to follow the CARB specific procedures.
In addition, we are subject to legislation relating to the emission of other air pollutants such as, among others, the EU “Euro 6” standards and Real Driving Emissions (RDE) standards, the “Tier 3” Motor Vehicle Emission and Fuel Standards issued by the EPA, and the Zero Emission Vehicle regulation in California, which are subject to similar derogations for SVMs. In March 2020, the European Commission launched a public consultation on its roadmap outlining the policy options that it could pursue in revising the emission standards for light and heavy duty vehicles (Euro 7). This initiative is part of the European Green Deal, advocating the European automotive industry’s role as a leader in the global transition to zero-emission vehicles. More stringent air pollutant emissions standards for combustion engine vehicles are expected to be set by early 2022.
Depending on the future regulatory developments, the technological solutions required to ensure Euro 7 compliance may affect customers’ expectations on performance, sound and driving experience. The European Commission is also expected to assess and evaluate the current noise emissions limits, with the risk of more stringent thresholds.
In relation to the safety legislation framework, in 2016, the NHTSA published guidelines for driver distraction, for which rulemaking activities have not progressed since early 2017. The costs of compliance associated with these and similar rulemaking may be substantial.
Other governments around the world, such as those in Canada, South Korea, China and certain Middle Eastern countries are also creating new policies to address these issues which could be even more stringent than the U.S. or European requirements. As in the United States and Europe, these government policies if applied to us could significantly affect our product development plans. In China, for example, Stage IV fuel consumption regulation targeted a national average fuel consumption of 5.0L/100km by 2020, and the Stage V regulation, issued on December 31, 2019, targets a national average fuel consumption of 4.0 l/100km by 2025. In addition to the fuel consumption target on the entire fleet, the Chinese regulation GB 19578-2021 sets specific fuel consumption limits on model types. Currently, this standard is only applicable to domestic cars, as it is not adopted by the China Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA). If this regulation were also applied to importers, considering the current Ferrari portfolio, only the plug-in hybrid models would be compliant.
In response to severe air quality issues in Beijing and other major Chinese cities, in 2016 the Chinese government published a more stringent emissions program (National 6), providing two different levels of stringency effective starting from 2020. Moreover, several autonomous Chinese regions and municipalities have implemented the requirements of the
15


National 6 program even ahead of the mandated deadlines. During 2020, the Chinese Vehicle Emission Control Center (VECC) launched the “Pre-study on Next Stage Emission Standards for Light Duty Vehicles”, an ongoing research project expected to be finalized in a more stringent emission program in the coming years. Depending on the future regulatory developments, the technological solutions required to ensure the compliance may affect customers’ expectations on performance, sound and driving experience.
We have lost our status as an SVM for NHSTA in 2019, because our global production exceeded 10,000 vehicles, but we have not lost our SVM status for EU CO2 regulations or for EPA GHG regulations in the United States. We could lose our status as an SVM in the EU, the United States and other countries if we do not continue to meet all of the necessary eligibility criteria under applicable regulations as they evolve, not only in relation to volumes but also in relation to the conditions of operational independence. In order to meet these criteria we may need to modify our growth plans or other operations. Furthermore, even if we continue to benefit from derogations as an SVM, we will be subject to alternative standards that the regulators deem appropriate for our technical and economic capabilities and such alternative standards may be significantly more stringent than those currently applicable to us.
Under these existing regulations, as well as new or stricter rules or policies, we could be subject to sizable civil penalties or have to restrict or modify product offerings drastically to remain in compliance. We may have to incur substantial capital expenditures and research and development expenditures to upgrade products and manufacturing facilities, which would have an impact on our cost of production and results of operation. For a description of the regulation referred to in the paragraphs above please see Item 4.B. Business Overview—Regulatory Matters”.
In the future, the advent of self-driving technology may result in regulatory changes that we cannot predict but may include limitations or bans on human driving in specific areas. In 2020 the European Commission issued its new digital strategy policies, which represent a priority in the European Commission’s regulatory agenda. Although no regulations have been issued in this regard, the European Commission has showed a determination to strengthen Europe’s digital sovereignty and role as a standard setter, with a clear focus on data, technology, and infrastructure.
Similarly, driving bans on combustion engine vehicles could be imposed, particularly in metropolitan areas, as a result of progress in electric and hybrid technology. On September 23, 2020, the Governor of California issued an executive order requiring that all in-state sales of new passenger vehicles be zero-emission by 2035. The CARB is developing regulations to implement such executive order. During 2021, the state of Washington also moved ahead with legislation that could phase out sales of non-zero-emission vehicles by 2030. In November 2020, the UK Prime Minister, the Transport Secretary and the Business Secretary announced, in the context of the 10-Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, the end of the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in the United Kingdom by 2030. This will put the United Kingdom on course to be the first G7 country to decarbonize cars and vans. Any further similar developments in the future may adversely affect the demand for our cars and our business.
In September 2017, the Chinese government issued the Administrative Measures on CAFC (Corporate Average Fuel Consumption) and NEV (New Energy Vehicle) Credits. This regulation establishes mandatory CAFC requirements, while providing additional flexibilities for SVMs (defined as manufacturers with less than 2,000 units imported in China per year) that achieve a certain minimum CAFC yearly improvement rate. Following the adoption of the Stage V fuel consumption regulation, an update to the Administrative Measures on CAFC and NEV credits was published in June 2020. The Administrative Measures have been extended to 2023. Because our CAFC is expected to exceed the regulatory ceiling, we will be required to purchase NEV credits. There is no assurance that an adequate market for NEV credits will develop in China and if we are not able to secure sufficient NEV credits this may adversely affect our business in China.
Several others regulations are also emerging to take into account the non-exhaust emissions such as brake particulate emissions and the environmental impact of the electric and hybrid vehicles components, with a particular focus on batteries and waste batteries.
To comply with current and future environmental rules in all markets in which we sell our cars, we may have to incur substantial capital expenditure and research and development expenditure to upgrade products and manufacturing facilities, which would have an impact on our cost of production and results of operations.
The introduction of hybrid and electric technology in our cars is costly and its long-term success is uncertain.
We are gradually but rapidly introducing hybrid and electric technology in our cars. In accordance with our strategy, we believe hybrid and electric technology will be key to providing continuing performance upgrades to our sports car
16


customers, and will also help us capture the preferences of the urban, affluent GT cars purchasers whom we are increasingly targeting, while helping us meet increasingly stricter emissions requirements.
In 2021 we launched the 296 GTB, our third production model with Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) technology, while in 2020 we made the first shipments of the SF90 Stradale, the first series production Ferrari to feature PHEV architecture, which integrates the internal combustion engine with three electric motors, and the launch of the SF90 Spider, the spider version of the SF90 Stradale and Ferrari’s first plug-in hybrid spider. Additionally, some of our past models, such as LaFerrari and LaFerrari Aperta, also included hybrid technology. The integration of hybrid and electric technology more broadly into our car portfolio over time may present challenges and costs. We expect to increase R&D spending in the medium term particularly on hybrid and electric technology-related projects. Although we expect to price our hybrid and electric cars appropriately to recoup the investments and expenditures we are making, we cannot be certain that these expenditures will be fully recovered. In addition, this transformation of our car technology creates risks and uncertainties such as the impact on driver experience, and the impact on the cars’ residual value over time, both of which may be met with an unfavorable market reaction. Other manufacturers of luxury sports cars may be more successful in implementing hybrid and electric technology. In the long-term, although we believe that combustion engines will continue to be fundamental to the Ferrari driver experience, hybrid and pure electric cars may become the prevalent technology for performance sports cars thereby displacing combustion engine models. See also “If we are unable to keep up with advances in high performance car technology, our brand and competitive position may suffer.”
Because hybrid and electric technology is a core component of our strategy, and we expect that a significant portion of our shipments in the medium term will consist of vehicles that feature hybrid and electric technology, if the introduction of hybrid and electric cars proves too costly or is unsuccessful in the market, our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
If our cars do not perform as expected our ability to develop, market and sell our cars could be harmed.
Our cars may contain defects in design and manufacture that may cause them not to perform as expected or that may require repair. There can be no assurance that we will be able to detect and fix any defects in the cars prior to their sale to consumers. Our cars may not perform in line with our clients’ evolving expectations or in a manner that equals or exceeds the performance characteristics of other cars currently available. For example, our newer cars may not have the durability or longevity of current cars, and may not be as easy to repair as other cars currently on the market. Any product defects or any other failure of our performance cars to perform as expected could harm our reputation and result in adverse publicity, lost revenue, delivery delays, product recalls, product liability claims, harm to our brand and reputation, and significant warranty and other expenses, and could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Car recalls may be costly and may harm our reputation.
We have in the past and we may from time to time in the future be required to recall our products to address performance, compliance or safety-related issues. We may incur costs for these recalls, including replacement parts and labor to remove and replace the defective parts. For example, in the course of 2015 and 2016, we issued a series of recalls relating to defective air bags manufactured by Takata and installed on certain of our models. Also in light of uncertainties in our ability to recover the recall costs from Takata (which filed for bankruptcy in June 2017 and was later acquired by Key Safety Systems in April 2018), we recorded a provision regarding this matter in the second quarter of 2016 for an amount of €37 million. This provision has been used over time and amounted to approximately €3 million as of December 31, 2021. For additional information related to the Takata airbag inflator recalls see “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Regulatory Matters—Vehicle safety”. In addition, regulatory oversight of recalls, particularly in the vehicle safety, has increased recently. Any product recalls can harm our reputation with clients, particularly if consumers call into question the safety, reliability or performance of our cars. Any such recalls could harm our reputation and result in adverse publicity, lost revenue, delivery delays, product liability claims and other expenses, and could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm our financial condition and liquidity if we are not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims.
We may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. The automobile industry experiences significant product liability claims and we have inherent risk of exposure to claims in the event our cars do not perform as expected or malfunction resulting in personal injury or death. A successful product liability claim against us could require us to pay a substantial monetary award. Moreover, a product liability claim
17


could generate substantial negative publicity about our cars and business, adversely affecting our reputation and inhibiting or preventing commercialization of future cars, which could have a material adverse effect on our brand, business, operating results and financial condition. While we seek to insure against product liability risks, insurance may be insufficient to protect against any monetary claims we may face and will not mitigate any reputational harm. Any lawsuit seeking significant monetary damages may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business and financial condition. We may not be able to secure additional product liability insurance coverage on commercially acceptable terms or at reasonable costs when needed, particularly if we face liability for our products and are forced to make a claim under such a policy.
We are exposed to risks in connection with product warranties as well as the provision of services.
A number of our contractual and legal requirements oblige us to provide extensive warranties to our clients, dealers and national distributors. There is a risk that, relative to the guarantees and warranties granted, the calculated product prices and the provisions for our guarantee and warranty risks have been set or will in the future be set too low. There is also a risk that we will be required to extend the guarantee or warranty originally granted in certain markets for legal reasons, or provide services as a courtesy or for reasons of reputation where we are not legally obliged to do so, and for which we will generally not be able to recover from suppliers or insurers.
Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect us against all potential losses to which we may be subject, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We maintain insurance coverage that we believe is adequate to cover normal risks associated with the operation of our business. However, there can be no assurance that any claim under our insurance policies will be honored fully or timely, our insurance coverage will be sufficient in any respect or our insurance premiums will not increase substantially. Accordingly, to the extent that we suffer loss or damage that is not covered by insurance or which exceeds our insurance coverage, or have to pay higher insurance premiums, our financial condition may be affected. 
Improper conduct of employees, agents, or other representatives could adversely affect our reputation and our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Our compliance controls, policies, and procedures may not in every instance protect us from acts committed by our employees, agents, contractors, or collaborators that would violate the laws or regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including employment, foreign corrupt practices, environmental, competition, and other laws and regulations. Such improper actions could subject us to civil or criminal investigations, and monetary and injunctive penalties. In particular, our business activities may be subject to anticorruption laws, regulations or rules of other countries in which we operate. If we fail to comply with any of these regulations, it could adversely impact our operating results and our financial condition. In addition, actual or alleged violations could damage our reputation and our ability to conduct business. Furthermore, detecting, investigating, and resolving any actual or alleged violation is expensive and can consume significant time and attention of our executive management.
A disruption in our information technology, including as a result of cybercrimes, could compromise confidential and sensitive information.
We depend on our information technology and data processing systems to operate our business, and a significant malfunction or disruption in the operation of our systems, human error, interruption to power supply, or a security breach that compromises the confidential and sensitive information stored in those systems, could disrupt our business and adversely impact our ability to compete. Our ability to keep our business operating effectively depends on the functional and efficient operation by us and our third party service providers of our information, data processing and telecommunications systems, including our car design, manufacturing, inventory tracking and billing and payment systems. We rely on these systems to enable a number of business processes and help us make a variety of day-to-day business decisions as well as to track transactions, billings, payments and inventory. Such systems are susceptible to malfunctions and interruptions due to equipment damage, power outages, and a range of other hardware, software and network problems. Those systems are also susceptible to cybercrime, or threats of intentional disruption, which are increasing in terms of sophistication and frequency, with the consequence that such cyber incidents may remain undetected for long periods of time. For any of these reasons, we may experience system malfunctions or interruptions. Although our systems are diversified, including multiple server locations and a range of software applications for different regions and functions, and we periodically assess and implement actions to ameliorate risks to our systems, a significant or large scale malfunction or interruption of our systems could adversely affect our ability to manage and keep our operations running efficiently, and damage our reputation if we are unable to track transactions and deliver products to our dealers and clients. A malfunction that results in a wider or sustained
18


disruption to our business could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition to supporting our operations, we use our systems to collect and store confidential and sensitive data, including information about our business, our clients and our employees.
As our technology continues to evolve, we anticipate that we will collect and store even more data in the future, and that our systems will increasingly use remote communication features that are sensitive to both willful and unintentional security breaches. Much of our value is derived from our confidential business information, including car design, proprietary technology and trade secrets, and to the extent the confidentiality of such information is compromised, we may lose our competitive advantage and our car sales may suffer. We also collect, retain and use certain personal information, including data we gather from clients for product development and marketing purposes, and data we obtain from employees. Therefore we are subject to a variety of ever-changing data protection and privacy laws on a global basis, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation, which came into force on May 25, 2018. To an increasing extent, the functionality and controls of our cars depend on in-vehicle information technology. The increased demand for a “connected car” has led to increased digitization of car systems, the wide application of software, and the creation of new, fully digital mobility services. Such technology is capable of transmitting and storing an increasing amount of personal information belonging to our customers. Any unauthorized access to in-vehicle IT systems may compromise the car security or the privacy of our customers’ information and expose us to claims as well as reputational damage. Ultimately, any significant compromise in the integrity of our data security could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our indebtedness could adversely affect our operations and we may face difficulties in servicing or refinancing our debt.
As of December 31, 2021, our gross consolidated debt was approximately €2,630 million (which includes our financial services). See “Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Net Debt and Net Industrial Debt” for additional information. Our current and long-term debt requires us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow to service interest and principal payments and, if interest rates rise, this amount may increase. In addition, our existing debt may limit our ability to raise further capital or incur additional indebtedness to execute our growth strategy or otherwise may place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to competitors that have less debt. To the extent we become more leveraged, the risks described above would increase. We may also have difficulty refinancing our existing debt or incurring new debt on terms that we would consider to be commercially reasonable, if at all.
Car sales depend in part on the availability of affordable financing.
In certain regions, financing for new car sales has been available at relatively low interest rates for several years due to, among other things, expansive government monetary policies. To the extent that interest rates may rise generally based on governmental monetary policies or actions of central banks, market rates for new car financing are expected to rise as well, which may make our cars less affordable to clients or cause consumers to purchase less expensive cars, adversely affecting our results of operations and financial condition. Following widespread indications of returning inflation in several major economies, central banks are signaling that interest rate increases may be expected in coming periods. Additionally, if consumer interest rates increase substantially or if financial service providers tighten lending standards or restrict their lending to certain classes of credit, our clients may choose not to, or may not be able to, obtain financing to purchase our cars.
We may not be able to provide adequate access to financing for our dealers and clients, and our financial services operations may be disrupted.
Our dealers enter into wholesale financing arrangements to purchase cars from us to hold in inventory or to use in showrooms and facilitate retail sales, and retail clients use a variety of finance and lease programs to acquire cars.
In most markets, we rely either on controlled or associated finance companies or on commercial relationships with third parties, including third party financial institutions, to provide financing to our dealers and retail clients. Finance companies are subject to various risks that could negatively affect their ability to provide financing services at competitive rates, including:
the performance of loans and leases in their portfolio, which could be materially affected by delinquencies or defaults;
higher than expected car return rates and the residual value performance of cars they lease; and
fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates.

19


Furthermore, to help fund our retail and wholesale financing business, our financial services companies in the United States also access forms of funding available from the banking system in each market, including sales or securitization of receivables either in negotiated sales or through asset-backed financing programs. At December 31, 2021, an amount of $1,020 million was outstanding under revolving securitizations carried out by Ferrari Financial Services Inc. See “Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Net Debt and Net Industrial Debt” for additional information. Should we lose the ability to access the securitization market at advantageous terms or at all, the funding of our controlled or associated finance companies would become more difficult and expensive and our financial condition may therefore be adversely affected.
Any financial services provider, including our controlled finance companies, will face other demands on its capital, as well as liquidity issues relating to other investments or to developments in the credit markets. Furthermore, they may be subject to regulatory changes that may increase their costs, which may impair their ability to provide competitive financing products to our dealers and retail clients. To the extent that a financial services provider is unable or unwilling to provide sufficient financing at competitive rates to our dealers and retail clients, such dealers and retail clients may not have sufficient access to financing to purchase or lease our cars. As a result, our car sales and market share may suffer, which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our dealer and retail customer financing in Europe are mainly provided through our partnership with FCA Bank S.p.A. (“FCA Bank”), a joint venture between FCA Italy S.p.A. and Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance S.A. (“CACF”). If we fail to maintain our partnership with FCA Bank or in the event of a termination of the joint venture or change of control of one of our joint venture partners, we may not be able to find a suitable alternative partner with similar resources and experience and continue to offer financing services to support the sales of Ferrari cars in key European markets, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In December 2021, Stellantis N.V. (hereinafter also “Stellantis” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Stellantis Group”) communicated its intention to create a leading operational leasing group and enhanced captive finance arm. As part of the proposed transaction, CACF is expected to acquire the 50 percent stake in FCA Bank currently owned by Stellantis. We will continue to monitor future developments in this area and evaluate any potential impacts on our partnership with FCA Bank.

Labor laws and collective bargaining agreements with our labor unions could impact our ability to operate efficiently.
All of our production employees are represented by trade unions, are covered by collective bargaining agreements and/or are protected by applicable labor relations regulations that may restrict our ability to modify operations and reduce costs quickly in response to changes in market conditions. These regulations and the provisions in our collective bargaining agreements may impede our ability to restructure our business successfully to compete more efficiently and effectively, especially with those automakers whose employees are not represented by trade unions or are subject to less stringent regulations, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to risks associated with exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate changes, credit risk and other market risks.
We operate in numerous markets worldwide and are exposed to market risks stemming from fluctuations in currency and interest rates. In particular, changes in exchange rates between the Euro and the main foreign currencies in which we operate affect our revenues and results of operations. For other risks related to a rise in interest rates, see also “Our indebtedness could adversely affect our operations and we may face difficulties in servicing or refinancing our debt” and “Car sales depend in part on the availability of affordable financing”. The exposure to currency risk is mainly linked to the differences in geographic distribution of our sourcing and manufacturing activities from those in our commercial activities, as a result of which our cash flows from sales are denominated in currencies different from those connected to purchases or production activities. For example, we incur a large portion of our capital and operating expenses in Euro while we receive the majority of our revenues in currencies other than Euro. In addition, foreign exchange movements might also negatively affect the relative purchasing power of our clients which could also have an adverse effect on our results of operations. For example, the U.S. Dollar remained relatively stable during the first half of 2021 and appreciated against the Euro during the second half of 2021, while the pound sterling appreciated against the Euro throughout the year 2021. No significant adverse movements in foreign exchange rates have occurred in early 2022. If the U.S. Dollar or some other currencies were to depreciate against the Euro, we expect that it would adversely impact our revenues and results of operations. The extent of adverse impacts from exchange rate fluctuations could increase if the portion of our business in countries outside of Eurozone increases. See “Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review—Trends, Uncertainties and Opportunities”.
20


We seek to manage risks associated with fluctuations in currency through financial hedging instruments. Although we seek to manage our foreign currency risk in order to minimize any negative effects caused by rate fluctuations, including through hedging activities, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so successfully, and our business, results of operations and financial condition could nevertheless be adversely affected by fluctuations in market rates, particularly if these conditions persist.
Our financial services activities are also subject to the risk of insolvency of dealers and retail clients, as well as unfavorable economic conditions in markets where these activities are carried out. Despite our efforts to mitigate such risks through the credit approval policies applied to dealers and retail clients, there can be no assurances that we will be able to successfully mitigate such risks, particularly with respect to a general change in economic conditions.
Changes in tax, tariff or fiscal policies could adversely affect demand for our products.
Imposition of any additional taxes and levies designed to limit the use of automobiles could adversely affect the demand for our vehicles and our results of operations. Changes in corporate and other taxation policies as well as changes in export and other incentives given by various governments, or import or tariff policies, could also adversely affect our results of operations. The impact of any such tariffs on our operations and results is uncertain and could be significant, and we can provide no assurance that any strategies we implement to mitigate the impact of such tariffs or other trade actions will be successful. While we are managing our product development and production operations on a global basis to reduce costs and lead times, unique national or regional standards can result in additional costs for product development, testing and manufacturing. Governments often require the implementation of new requirements during the middle of a product cycle, which can be substantially more expensive than accommodating these requirements during the design phase of a new product. The imposition of any additional taxes and levies or change in government policy designed to limit the use of high performance sports cars or automobiles more generally, or any decisions by policymakers to implement taxes on luxury automobiles, could also adversely affect the demand for our cars. The occurrence of the above may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If we were to lose our Authorized Economic Operator certificate, we may be required to modify our current business practices and to incur increased costs, as well as experience shipment delays.
Because we ship and sell our cars in numerous countries, the customs regulations of various jurisdictions are important to our business and operations. To expedite customs procedure, we obtained the European Union’s Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certificate. The AEO certificate is granted to operators that meet certain requirements regarding supply chain security and the safety and compliance with law of the operator’s customs controls and procedures. Operators are audited periodically for continued compliance with the requirements. The AEO certificate allows us to benefit from special expedited customs treatment, which significantly facilitates the shipment of our cars in the various markets where we operate. If we were to lose the AEO status, including for failure to meet one of the certification’s requirements, we would be required to change our business practices and to adopt standard customs procedures for the shipment of our cars. This could result in increased costs and shipment delays, which, in turn, could negatively affect our results of operations.

Risks Related to our Common Shares
The market price and trading volume of our common shares may be volatile, which could result in rapid and substantial losses for our shareholders.
The market price of our common shares may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. In addition, the trading volume of our common shares may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the market price of our common shares declines significantly, a shareholder may be unable to sell their common shares at or above their purchase price, if at all. The market price of our common shares may fluctuate or decline significantly in the future. Some of the factors that could negatively affect the price of our common shares, or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our common shares, include:
variations in our operating results, or failure to meet the market’s earnings expectations;
publication of research reports about us, the automotive industry or the luxury industry, or the failure of securities analysts to cover our common shares;
departures of any members of our management team or additions or departures of other key personnel;
adverse market reaction to any indebtedness we may incur or securities we may issue in the future;
actions by shareholders;
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
changes or proposed changes in laws or regulations, or differing interpretations thereof, affecting our business, or enforcement of these laws and regulations, or announcements relating to these matters;
adverse publicity about the automotive industry or the luxury industry generally, or particularly scandals relating to those industries, specifically;
litigation and governmental investigations; and
general market and economic conditions.
The loyalty voting program may affect the liquidity of our common shares and reduce our common share price.
The implementation of our loyalty voting program could reduce the trading liquidity and adversely affect the trading prices of our common shares. The loyalty voting program is intended to reward our shareholders for maintaining long-term share ownership by granting initial shareholders and persons holding our common shares continuously for at least three years the option to elect to receive special voting shares. Special voting shares cannot be traded and, if common shares participating in the loyalty voting program are sold they must be deregistered from the loyalty register and any corresponding special voting shares transferred to us for no consideration (om niet). This loyalty voting program is designed to encourage a stable shareholder base and, conversely, it may deter trading by shareholders that may be interested in participating in our loyalty voting program. Therefore, the loyalty voting program may reduce liquidity in our common shares and adversely affect their trading price.
The interests of our largest shareholders may differ from the interests of other shareholders.
Exor N.V. (“Exor”) is our largest shareholder, holding approximately 24.21 percent of our outstanding common shares and approximately 36.00 percent of our voting power (as of February 14, 2022). Therefore, Exor has a significant influence over these matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders, including matters such as adoption of the annual financial statements, declarations of annual dividends, the election and removal of the members of our board of directors (the “Board of Directors”), capital increases and amendments to our articles of association. In addition, as of February 14, 2022, Piero Ferrari, the Vice Chairman of Ferrari, holds approximately 10.30 percent of our outstanding common shares and approximately 15.31 percent of voting interest in us (as of February 14, 2022). The percentages of ownership and voting power above are calculated based on the number of outstanding shares net of treasury shares. As a result, Piero Ferrari also has influence in matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders. Exor and Piero Ferrari informed us that they have entered into a shareholder agreement pursuant to which they have undertaken to consult for the purpose of forming, where possible, a
22


common view on the items on the agenda of shareholders meetings. See “Item 7.A. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Major Shareholders—Shareholders’ Agreement”. The interests of Exor and Piero Ferrari may in certain cases differ from those of other shareholders. In addition, the sale of substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market by Piero Ferrari or the perception that such a sale could occur could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the common shares.
We may have potential conflicts of interest with Stellantis and Exor and its related companies.
Questions relating to conflicts of interest may arise between us and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V., our former largest shareholder, renamed Stellantis N.V., in a number of areas relating to common shareholdings and management, as well as our past and ongoing relationships. There are certain overlaps among the directors and officers of us and Stellantis. For example, Mr. John Elkann, our Executive Chairman, is the Chairman and an executive director of Stellantis and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Exor. Certain of our other directors and officers may also be directors or officers of Stellantis or Exor, our and Stellantis’s largest shareholder. These individuals owe duties both to us and to the other companies that they serve as officers and/or directors, which may create conflicts as, for example, these individuals review opportunities that may be appropriate or suitable for both us and such other companies, or we pursue business transactions in which both we and such other companies have an interest, such as our arrangement to supply engines for Maserati cars. Exor holds approximately 24.21 percent of our outstanding common shares and approximately 36.00 percent of the voting power in us (as of February 14, 2022), while it holds approximately 14.4 percent of the outstanding common shares in Stellantis (based on SEC filings). The percentages of ownership and voting power above are calculated based on the number of outstanding shares net of treasury shares. Exor also owns a controlling interest in CNH Industrial N.V., which was part of the former Fiat Group before its spin-off several years ago. These ownership interests could create actual, perceived or potential conflicts of interest when these parties or our common directors and officers are faced with decisions that could have different implications for us and Stellantis or Exor, as applicable.
Our loyalty voting program may make it more difficult for shareholders to acquire a controlling interest in Ferrari, change our management or strategy or otherwise exercise influence over us, which may affect the market price of our common shares.
The provisions of our articles of association which establish the loyalty voting program may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or attempt to acquire, control of our company, even if a change of control were considered favorably by shareholders holding a majority of our common shares. As a result of the loyalty voting program, a relatively large proportion of the voting power of Ferrari could be concentrated in a relatively small number of shareholders who would have significant influence over us. As of February 14, 2022, Exor had approximately 24.21 percent of our outstanding common shares and a voting interest in Ferrari of approximately 36.00 percent. As of February 14, 2022, Piero Ferrari held approximately 10.30 percent of our outstanding common shares and, as a result of the loyalty voting mechanism, had approximately 15.31 percent of the voting power in our shares. The percentages of ownership and voting power above are calculated based on the number of outstanding shares net of treasury shares. In addition, Exor and Piero Ferrari informed us that they have entered into a shareholder agreement, summarized under “Item 7.A. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Major Shareholders—Shareholders Agreement”. As a result, Exor and Piero Ferrari may exercise significant influence on matters involving our shareholders. Exor and Piero Ferrari and other shareholders participating in the loyalty voting program may have the power effectively to prevent or delay change of control or other transactions that may otherwise benefit our shareholders. The loyalty voting program may also prevent or discourage shareholder initiatives aimed at changing Ferrari’s management or strategy or otherwise exerting influence over Ferrari. See “Item 10.B. Memorandum and Articles of Association—The Ferrari Shares, Articles of Association and Terms and Conditions of the Special Voting Shares”.
We are a Dutch public company with limited liability, and our shareholders may have rights different to those of shareholders of companies organized in the United States.
The rights of our shareholders may be different from the rights of shareholders governed by the laws of U.S. jurisdictions. We are a Dutch public company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap). Our corporate affairs are governed by our articles of association and by the laws governing companies incorporated in the Netherlands. The rights of our shareholders and the responsibilities of members of our Board of Directors may be different from the rights of shareholders and the responsibilities of members of board of directors in companies governed by the laws of other jurisdictions including the United States. In the performance of its duties, our Board of Directors is required by Dutch law to consider our interests and the interests of our shareholders, our employees and other stakeholders, in all cases with due
23


observation of the principles of reasonableness and fairness. It is possible that some of these parties will have interests that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder.
We expect to maintain our status as a “foreign private issuer” under the rules and regulations of the SEC and, thus, are exempt from a number of rules under the Exchange Act of 1934 and are permitted to file less information with the SEC than a company incorporated in the United States.
As a “foreign private issuer,” we are exempt from rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that impose certain disclosure and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of our common shares. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, nor are we required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material information. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information concerning us than there is for U.S. public companies.
Our ability to pay dividends on our common shares may be limited and the level of future dividends is subject to change.
Our current dividend policy is set forth in “Item 8.A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Dividend Policy”. Our payment of dividends on our common shares in the future will be subject to business conditions, financial conditions, earnings, cash balances, commitments, strategic plans and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant at the time it recommends approval of the dividend. Our dividend policy is subject to change in the future based on changes in statutory requirements, market trends, strategic developments, capital requirements and a number of other factors. In addition, under our articles of association and Dutch law, dividends may be declared on our common shares only if the amount of equity exceeds the paid up and called up capital plus the reserves that have to be maintained pursuant to Dutch law or the articles of association. Further, even if we are permitted under our articles of association and Dutch law to pay cash dividends on our common shares, we may not have sufficient cash to pay dividends in cash on our common shares. We are a holding company and our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to pay dividends primarily depends on the ability of our subsidiaries, particularly Ferrari S.p.A., to generate earnings and to provide us with the necessary financial resources.
Our maintenance of two exchange listings may adversely affect liquidity in the market for our common shares and could result in pricing differentials of our common shares between the two exchanges.
Our shares are listed on both the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the Euronext Milan. The dual listing of our common shares may split trading between the NYSE and the Euronext Milan, adversely affect the liquidity of the shares and the development of an active trading market for our common shares in one or both markets and may result in price differentials between the exchanges. Differences in the trading schedules, as well as volatility in the exchange rate of the two trading currencies, among other factors, may result in different trading prices for our common shares on the two exchanges.
It may be difficult to enforce U.S. judgments against us.
We are organized under the laws of the Netherlands, and a substantial portion of our assets are outside of the United States. Most of our directors and senior management and our independent auditors are resident outside the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their respective assets may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for U.S. investors to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. It may also be difficult for U.S. investors to enforce within the United States judgments against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts outside the United States would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors and officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. Therefore, it may be difficult to enforce U.S. judgments against us, our directors and officers and our independent auditors.
Stellantis creditors may seek to hold us liable for certain Stellantis obligations.
One step of our Separation (further described under “Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company”) from FCA (references to “FCA” or “FCA Group” refer to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V., together with its subsidiaries, prior to the merger between FCA and Peugeot S.A. completed on January 16, 2021, which resulted in the creation of Stellantis N.V.) included a demerger from FCA of our common shares previously held by it. In connection with a demerger under Dutch law,
24


the demerged company may continue to be liable for certain obligations of the demerging company that exist at the time of the demerger, but only to the extent that the demerging company fails to satisfy such liabilities. Based on other actions taken as part of the Separation, we do not believe we retain any liability for obligations of FCA, now Stellantis, existing at the time of the Separation. Nevertheless, in the event that Stellantis fails to satisfy obligations to its creditors existing at the time of the demerger, it is possible that those creditors may seek to recover from us, claiming that we remain liable to satisfy such obligations. While we believe we would prevail against any such claim, litigation is inherently costly and uncertain and could have an adverse effect. See “Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company”.
Risks Related to Taxation
Changes to taxation or the interpretation or application of tax laws could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our business is subject to various taxes in different jurisdictions (mainly Italy), which include, among others, the Italian corporate income tax (“IRES”), regional trade tax (“IRAP”), value added tax (“VAT”), excise duty, registration tax and other indirect taxes. We are exposed to the risk that our overall tax burden may increase in the future.
Changes in tax laws or regulations or in the position of the relevant Italian and non-Italian authorities regarding the application, administration or interpretation of these laws or regulations, particularly if applied retrospectively, could have negative effects on our current business model and have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
In order to reduce future potential disputes with tax authorities, we seek advance agreements with tax authorities on significant matters. In particular we filed a ruling application for advance pricing agreement (APA) on transfer pricing.
In addition, tax laws are complex and subject to subjective valuations and interpretive decisions, and we will periodically be subject to tax audits aimed at assessing our compliance with direct and indirect taxes. The tax authorities may not agree with our interpretations of, or the positions we have taken or intend to take on, tax laws applicable to our ordinary activities and extraordinary transactions. In case of challenges by the tax authorities to our interpretations, we could face long tax proceedings that could result in the payment of penalties and have a material adverse effect on our operating results, business and financial condition.

On October 8, 2021, an agreement was reached between 136 countries for a two-pillar approach to international tax reform (the “OECD Agreement”). Amongst other things, Pillar One proposes a reallocation of a proportion of tax to market jurisdictions, while Pillar Two seeks to apply a global minimum effective tax rate of 15 percent starting from 2023. The OECD Agreement is likely to determine changes in corporate tax rates in a number of countries in the coming years. The impact of changes in corporate tax rates on the measurement of tax assets and liabilities depends on the nature and timing of the legislative changes in each country, which are subject to uncertainty. Additionally, there are expected changes on the horizon with respect to US tax reforms. At this time, it is expected that these changes will be substantively enacted in 2022. There was no impact on current or deferred taxes in 2021 in relation to these potential tax changes and management will continue to monitor developments in the related tax legislation going forward.
As a result of the demergers and the merger in connection with the Separation, we might be jointly and severally liable with FCA for certain tax liabilities arisen in the hands of FCA.
Although the Italian tax authorities confirmed in a positive advance tax ruling issued on October 9, 2015 that the demergers and the Merger that was carried out in connection with the Separation would be respected as tax-free, neutral transactions from an Italian income tax perspective, under Italian tax law we may still be held jointly and severally liable, as a result of the combined application of the rules governing the allocation of tax liabilities in case of demergers and mergers, with FCA for taxes, penalties, interest and any other tax liability arising in the actions of FCA because of violations of its tax obligations related to tax years prior to the two Demergers described in the section “Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company”.
There may be potential “Passive Foreign Investment Company” tax considerations for U.S. holders.
Shares of our stock would be stock of a “passive foreign investment company,” or a PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to a U.S. holder (as defined in “Item 10.E. Taxation-Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” below) if for any taxable year in which such U.S. holder held shares of our stock, after the application of applicable “look-through rules” (i) 75 percent or more of our gross income for the taxable year consists of “passive
25


income” (including dividends, interest, gains from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and royalties other than rents and royalties which are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business, as defined in applicable Treasury Regulations), or (ii) at least 50 percent of our assets for the taxable year (averaged over the year and determined based upon value) produce or are held for the production of “passive income”. U.S. persons who own shares of a PFIC are subject to a disadvantageous U.S. federal income tax regime with respect to the income derived by the PFIC, the dividends they receive from the PFIC, and the gain, if any, they derive from the sale or other disposition of their shares in the PFIC.
While we believe that shares of our stock are not stock of a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, this conclusion is based on a factual determination made annually and thus is subject to change. Moreover, our common shares may become stock of a PFIC in future taxable years if there were to be changes in our assets, income or operations. See “Item 10.E. Taxation-PFIC Considerations” for a further discussion.
The consequences of the loyalty voting program are uncertain.
No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly discusses how the receipt, ownership, or disposition of special voting shares should be treated for Italian or U.S. tax purposes and as a result, the tax consequences in those jurisdictions are uncertain.
The fair market value of the special voting shares, which may be relevant to the tax consequences, is a factual determination and is not governed by any guidance that directly addresses such a situation. Because, among other things, our special voting shares are not transferable (other than, in very limited circumstances, together with the associated common shares) and a shareholder will receive amounts in respect of the special voting shares only if we are liquidated, we believe and intend to take the position that the fair market value of each special voting share is minimal. However, the relevant tax authorities could assert that the value of the special voting shares as determined by us is incorrect.
The tax treatment of the loyalty voting program is unclear and shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors in respect of the consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of special voting shares. See “Item 10.E. Taxation-Loyalty Voting Program” for a further discussion.
We currently benefit or seek to benefit from certain special tax regimes, which may not be available in the future.
Italian Law no. 190/2014, as subsequently amended and supplemented, introduced an optional Patent Box regime in the Italian tax system. The Patent Box regime is a tax exemption related to, inter alia, the use of intellectual property assets. Business income derived from the use of each qualified intangible asset is partially exempted from taxation for both IRES and IRAP purposes. We are currently applying the Patent Box tax regime for the period from 2020 to 2024, in line with applicable tax regulations in Italy. Law Decree No. 146 as amended by the 2022 Italian budget law, replaced the former Patent Box regime (which allowed taxpayers to exempt from corporate income tax (IRES) and regional income tax (IRAP) up to 50% of their income derived from the direct or indirect exploitation of intangibles) with a 110% “super tax deduction” for R&D expenses related to eligible intangible assets. The decree provides for a specific transitional procedure between the two regimes. The amount of the related tax benefits (if any) that the Group may receive from the Patent Box or other tax regimes remains subject to uncertainty.

Furthermore, we currently calculate taxes due in Italy based, among other things, on certain tax breaks recognized by Italian tax regulations for R&D expenses and for the investments on manufacturing equipment, which result in a tax saving.

In addition, we benefit from the measures introduced in Italy by art. 110 of Law Decree no. 104/2020, converted into Law no.126/2020, which re-opened the voluntary step up of tangible and intangible assets, with the application of a three-percent substitutive tax rate. The 2022 budget law introduced some retroactive changes to the step-up regime. In particular, the 2022 budget law provides for an extension from 18 years to 50 years of the amortization period for tax purposes for any trademarks and goodwill that benefited from the step-up regime. The modification even if reduces our annual financial benefit does not affect the overall positive impact of the incentive.

These measures continue to mitigate the tax burden in Italy. Significant changes in regulations or interpretation might adversely affect the availability of such exemptions and result in higher tax charges. See also “Changes to taxation or the interpretation or application of tax laws could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.”

Item 4. Information on the Company

A. History and Development of the Company
Ferrari was incorporated as a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) under the laws of the Netherlands on September 4, 2015 with an indefinite duration. Our official seat (statutaire zetel) is in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and our corporate address and principal place of business are located at Via Abetone Inferiore n. 4, I-41053 Maranello (MO), Italy. Ferrari is registered with the Dutch Trade Register of the Chamber of Commerce under number 64060977. Its telephone number is +39-0536-949111. The name and address of the Company’s agent in the United States is: Ferrari North America, Inc., 250 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. Its telephone number is +1 (201) 816 2600.
Our company is named after our founder Enzo Ferrari. An Alfa Romeo driver since 1924, Enzo Ferrari founded his own racing team, Scuderia Ferrari, in Modena in 1929 initially to race Alfa Romeo cars. In 1939 he set up his own company, initially called Auto Avio Costruzioni. In late 1943, Enzo Ferrari moved his headquarters from Modena to Maranello, which remains our headquarters to this day.
In 1947, we produced our first racing car, the 125 S. The 125 S’s powerful 12 cylinder engine would go on to become synonymous with the Ferrari brand. In 1948, the first road car, the Ferrari 166 Inter, was produced. Styling quickly became an integral part of the Ferrari brand.
In 1950, we began our participation in the Formula 1 World Championship, racing in the world’s second Grand Prix in Monaco, which makes Scuderia Ferrari the longest running Formula 1 team. We won our first Constructor World Title in 1952. Our success on the world’s tracks and roads extends beyond Formula 1, including victories in some of the most important car races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world’s oldest endurance automobile race, and the 24 Hours of Daytona.
The Fiat group acquired a 50 percent stake in Ferrari S.p.A. in 1969 and increased its stake to 90 percent in 1988 following the death of Enzo Ferrari, with the remaining 10 percent held by Enzo Ferrari’s son, Piero Ferrari.
Ferrari became an independent, publicly traded company following its separation from FCA (renamed Stellantis in January 2021, following the merger of Peugeot S.A. with and into FCA), which was completed on January 3, 2016 (the “Separation”) and occurred through a series of transactions including (i) an intragroup 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 on the New York Stock Exchange in October 2015 under the ticker symbol RACE, and (iv) the distribution, following the initial public offering, of FCA’s remaining interest in the Company to FCA’s shareholders. On January 4, 2016 the Company also completed the listing of its common shares on the Mercato Telematico Azionario (“MTA”, subsequently renamed Euronext Milan), under the ticker symbol RACE.

B. Business Overview

Business Summary
Ferrari is among the world’s leading luxury brands, focused on the design, engineering, production and sale of the world’s most recognizable luxury performance sports cars. Our brand symbolizes exclusivity, innovation, state-of-the-art sporting performance and Italian design and engineering heritage. Our name and history and the image enjoyed by our cars are closely associated with our Formula 1 racing team, Scuderia Ferrari, the most successful racing team in the history of Formula 1. From the inaugural year of Formula 1 in 1950 through the present, Scuderia Ferrari has won 238 Grand Prix races, 16 Constructors’ World titles and 15 Drivers’ World titles. We are the only team which has taken part in all the editions of the Championship, racing in more than 1,000 Formula 1 Grand Prix races. We believe our history of excellence, technological innovation and defining style transcends the automotive industry, and is the foundation of the Ferrari brand and image. We design, engineer and produce our cars in Maranello, Italy, and sell them in over 60 markets worldwide through a network of 172 authorized dealers operating 191 points of sale as of the end of 2021.
We believe our cars are the epitome of performance, luxury and styling. Our product offering comprises four main pillars: the sports range, the GT range, special series and Icona, a line of modern cars inspired by our iconic cars of the past. Our current product range (including cars presented in 2021, for which shipments will commence in future years) is comprised of six sports cars (the 812 GTS, the Ferrari F8 Tributo, the Ferrari F8 Spider, the 296 GTB, the SF90 Stradale and the SF90 Spider), two GT cars (the Ferrari Roma and the Ferrari Portofino M), two special series cars (the 812 Competizione and the 812 Competizione A), two versions of our first Icona model, the Ferrari Monza SP1 and the Ferrari Monza SP2, as well as the recently presented new model in the Icona range, the Ferrari Daytona SP3.
In 2021 we completed the shipments of the 812 Superfast, while the shipments of the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 will be completed in the first quarter of 2022. We also produce limited edition hypercars and one-off cars. Our most recent hypercar, the LaFerrari Aperta, was launched in 2016 to celebrate our 70th Anniversary and finished its limited series run in 2018. In 2021, we launched 4 new models, including the 296 GTB, a new PHEV featuring a new V6 engine, the limited series V12 812 Competizione and 812 Competizione A, and the new Icona series model, the Ferrari Daytona SP3, and we have launched 13 models in accordance with our plan to launch 15 new models by 2022 as announced at our 2018 Capital Markets Day.
In 2021, we shipped 11,155 cars and recorded net revenues of €4,271 million, EBIT of €1,075 million, net profit of €833 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of €1,531 million. For additional information regarding EBITDA, including a reconciliation of EBITDA to net profit, as well as other non-GAAP financial measures we present, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.
Whilst broadening our product portfolio to target a larger customer base, we continue to pursue a low volume production strategy in order to maintain a reputation for exclusivity and scarcity among purchasers of our cars and we carefully manage our production volumes and delivery waiting lists to promote this reputation. We divide our regional markets into (i) EMEA, (ii) Americas, (iii) Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and (iv) Rest of APAC, which represented respectively 49.2 percent, 25.4 percent, 8.1 percent and 17.3 percent of units shipped in 2021. The geographical distribution of shipments reflects deliberate allocations driven by the phase-in pace of individual models.
We focus our marketing and promotion efforts in the investments we make in our racing activities and in particular, Scuderia Ferrari’s participation in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship, which is the pinnacle of motorsport and is one of the most watched annual sports series in the world, with approximately 445 million unique viewers in 2021 and an average total audience for a Grand Prix weekend of 70.3 million. (Source: Formula 1 Press Office). Although our most recent Formula 1 world title was in 2008, we continuously enhance our focus on Formula 1 activities with the goal of improving racing results and restoring our historical position as the premier racing team in Formula 1. We believe that these activities support the strength and awareness of our brand among motor enthusiasts, clients and the general public.
As one of the world’s most recognized premium luxury brands, we operate in carefully selected luxury and lifestyle categories consistent with our image. We launched our first fashion collection on June 13, 2021 in Maranello, drawing inspiration from our marque’s style, innovation and performance. We also license the Ferrari brand to a limited number of producers and retailers of luxury and lifestyle sectors, including theme parks that, we believe, enhance the brand experience of our loyal clients and Ferrari enthusiasts. The world of Ferrari can also be experienced in our Ferrari Museum in Maranello and in the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena.
28


Our international network of Ferrari Stores consists of 16 Ferrari owned store and 14 franchised stores (including 12 Ferrari Store Junior) where visitors can find our fashion collection as well as on our website. In 2021 we began giving a fresh new look to the stores, starting with our stores in Maranello, Milan, Rome and Los Angeles.

On June 15, 2021 we reopened and revitalized our Ristorante Cavallino, which is situated opposite to the entrance of our Maranello factory, while retaining the heritage of this historic location.

We continue in our unwavering pursuit of reaching carbon neutrality by 2030, addressing – in addition to our electrification journey – both direct and indirect emissions with a focus on energy and materials. As a further step forward in this process, in 2021 we calculated our carbon footprint considering the emissions related to all of our activities over our entire value chain. Our calculation, based on greenhouse gas protocol methodology, has been certified according to ISO 14064-1:2018 requirements by a third-party and allowed us to determine priority areas for action.

We will continue focusing our efforts on protecting and enhancing the value of our brand to preserve our strong financial profile and participate in the growth of the premium luxury market. We intend to pursue controlled and profitable growth in existing and emerging markets while expanding the Ferrari brand to carefully selected lifestyle categories.

Industry Overview
Within the luxury goods market, we define our target market for luxury performance cars as two-door cars powered by engines producing more than 500 hp and selling at a retail price in excess of Euro 150,000 (including VAT). The luxury performance car market historically has followed relatively closely growth patterns in the broader luxury market. The luxury performance car market is generally affected by global macroeconomic conditions and, although we and certain other manufacturers have proven relatively resilient, general downturns can have a disproportionate impact on sales of luxury goods in light of the discretionary nature of consumer spending in this market. Furthermore, because of the emotional nature of the purchasing decision, economic confidence and factors such as expectations regarding future income streams as well as the social acceptability of luxury goods may impact sales.
Following the sharp recession of 2008-2009, the luxury performance car market has been resilient to further economic downturns and stagnation in the broader economy, also a result of the increase of new product launches. A sustained period of wealth creation in several Asian countries and, to a lesser extent, in the Americas, has led to an expanding population of potential consumers of luxury goods. Developing consumer preferences in the Asian markets, where the newly affluent are increasingly embracing western brands of luxury products, have also led to higher demand for cars in our segment, which are all produced by established European manufacturers. In turn, the changing demographic of customers and potential customers is driving an evolution towards luxury performance cars more suited to an urban, daily use.
Additionally, the growing appetite of younger affluent purchasers for luxury performance cars has led to new entrants, which in turn has resulted in higher sales overall in the market.
In 2021, the luxury performance car market experienced a V-shaped recovery, with Ferrari shipments returning to and surpassing the 2019 pre-pandemic levels while shipments of the overall luxury performance car market partially recovered but remained below the 2019 pre-pandemic levels, after the economic shock experienced in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The actions taken worldwide for the containment of the pandemic, including widespread vaccination campaigns, enabled Ferrari and some of its main competitors to fully recover and maintain their production capacity. Furthermore, the renewed product offering by several competitors was another key element driving the positive performance of the market.
Unlike in other segments of the broader luxury market, in the luxury performance car market, a significant portion of demand is driven by new product launches. The market share of individual producers fluctuates over time reflecting the timing of product launches. New launches tend to drive sales volumes even in difficult market environments because the novelty, exclusivity and excitement of a new product is capable of creating and capturing its own demand from clients.
Growing environmental concerns are leading to the implementation of increasingly stringent emissions regulations and an increase in demand for both hybrid and electric vehicles. Cost and limited charging infrastructure are currently limiting factors in the demand for electric vehicles, but advancements in battery technology in coming years are expected to boost sales of hybrid and electric high performance luxury vehicles, although at a slower pace compared to mass market
29


vehicles. The ability to combine driving experience with hybrid and electric technology will be key for the commercial success of high performance luxury vehicles.
As shown in the chart below, our volumes in recent years have proven less volatile than our competitors’. We believe this is due to our strategy of maintaining low volumes compared to demand, as well as to the higher number of models in our range and our more frequent product launches compared to our competitors.

Ferrari is market leader in several countries, including France, Italy, Switzerland, UK, USA, Australia, Japan and South Korea, among others.

While we monitor our market share as an indicator of our brand appeal, we do not regard market share in the luxury performance market as particularly relevant as compared to other segments of the automotive industry. We are not focused on market share as a performance metric. Instead, we deliberately manage our supply relative to demand, to defend and promote our brand exclusivity and premium pricing.

Competition
Competition in the luxury performance car market is concentrated in a fairly small number of producers, including both large automotive companies that own luxury brands as well as small producers exclusively focused on luxury cars, like us. The luxury performance car market includes sports cars and GT cars.
Our current sports car models are the 812 GTS, the Ferrari F8 Tributo, the Ferrari F8 Spider, the 296 GTB and the SF90 Stradale and the SF90 Spider, our first series production Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) models. Our principal competitors are Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche, Mercedes, Aston Martin and Audi. Our current GT range models include the Ferrari Roma and the Ferrari Portofino M, while our main competitors are Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin and Mercedes.
Competition in the luxury performance car market is driven by the strength of the brand and the appeal of the products in terms of performance, styling, novelty and innovation as well as on the manufacturers’ ability to renew its product offerings regularly in order to continue to stimulate customer demand.
Competition among similarly positioned luxury performance cars is also driven by price and total cost of ownership. Resilience of the car value after a period of ownership is an important competitive dimension among similarly positioned luxury cars, as a higher resilience decreases the total cost of ownership and promotes repeat purchases: we believe this is a strong competitive advantage of Ferrari cars.

Sports and GT Range, Special Series and Icona: Ferrari Line-Up Strategic Pillars
race-20211231_g3.jpg
Our product offering comprises four main pillars: the sports range, the GT range, special series and Icona. Our current product range as of the date of this report includes six sports cars (the 812 GTS, the Ferrari F8 Tributo, the Ferrari F8 Spider, the 296 GTB, the SF90 Stradale and the SF90 Spider), two GT cars (the Ferrari Roma and the Ferrari Portofino M), two special series cars (the 812 Competizione and the 812 Competizione A), and three strictly limited edition Icona models (the new Ferrari Daytona SP3, which was presented in November 2021, as well as the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2). In 2021 we completed shipments of the 812 Superfast. We target end clients seeking high performance cars with distinctive design and state-of-the-art technology. Our broad model range is designed to fulfill the strategy of “Different Ferrari for different Ferraristi, different Ferrari for different moments”, which means being able to offer a highly differentiated product line-up that can meet the varying needs of new customer segments (in terms of sportiness, comfort, on-board space, design, amongst others) and that can allow our existing clients to use a Ferrari in various moments of their lives. Our diversified product offering includes different architectures (such as front-engine and mid-rear engine), engine sizes (V6, V8 and V12), technologies (atmospheric, turbo-charged, hybrid, electric), body styles (such as coupes, spiders and targa), and seats (2 seaters and 2+ seaters).
We are also actively engaged in after sales activities driven, among other things, by the objective of preserving and extending the market value of the cars we sell. We believe our cars’ performance in terms of value preservation after a period of ownership significantly exceeds that of any other brand in the luxury car segment. High residual value is important to the primary market because clients, when purchasing our cars, take into account the expected resale value of the car in assessing the overall cost of ownership. Furthermore, a higher residual value potentially lowers the cost for the owner to switch to a new model thereby supporting client loyalty and promoting repeat purchase.

Sports Range
Our sports cars are characterized by compact bodies, a design guided by performance and aerodynamics, and often benefit from technologies initially developed for our Formula 1 single-seaters or Ferrari GT racing activities. They favor performance over comfort, seeking to provide a driver with an immediate response and superior handling, leveraging state-of-the-art vehicle dynamics components and controls. In our sports car class, we offer six models: the SF90 Stradale and SF90 Spider, our first series production cars which feature PHEV technology that combines a V8 engine (780 hp) with three electric motors allowing the car to reach 1,000 hp; the Ferrari F8 Tributo and the Ferrari F8 Spider, equipped with a mid-rear V8 engine (720 hp), 4 time winner of the engine of the year award; the 812 GTS, equipped with a front V12 engine (800 hp) and the 296 GTB, which is the first 6-cylinder engine installed on a Ferrari road car and produces 830 hp total power output delivered by a new 120° V6 engine (663 hp) coupled with an electric motor capable of delivering a further 122 kW (167 hp) – unprecedented performance for a V6 car.
34


GT Range

Our GT cars, while maintaining the performance expected of a Ferrari, are characterized by more refined interiors with a higher focus on comfort and on-board life quality. In our GT range, we offer two models equipped with our V8 engine, the Ferrari Roma (620 hp) and the Ferrari Portofino M (620 hp).
The following chart depicts the four dimensions of our customer value proposition for our sports and GT range models:
race-20211231_g7.jpg
Special Series
From time to time, we also design, engineer and produce special series cars which can be limited in time or volume and are usually based on our range sports models but introduce novel product concepts. These cars are characterized by significant modifications designed to enhance performance and driving emotions. Our special series cars are particularly targeted to collectors and, from a commercial and product development standpoint, they facilitate the transition from existing to new range models. Following the completion of shipments for the Ferrari 488 Pista and Ferrari 488 Pista Spider in 2020, in 2021 Ferrari launched the 812 Competizione and the 812 Competizione A (830 hp). Respectively a coupe and a targa, the 812 Competizione and the 812 Competizione A represent the pinnacle of our technical expertise and performance with an extraordinary weight to power ratio of 1.79 kg/hp, which puts them at the top of our V12 car category, reaching 0-100 km/h in 2.85 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 7.7 seconds.
Icona
In September 2018, we introduced a new pillar of our product portfolio: the Icona, a unique concept that takes inspiration from the iconic cars of our history and reinterprets them in a modern fashion, pairing timeless design with state-of-the-art materials and technology. The first examples of this strictly limited-edition product line-up are the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, which are inspired by the classic collectible barchetta cars, the 750 Monza and 860 Monza. In 2021 the Ferrari Daytona SP3 was unveiled. This limited-edition targa takes inspiration from legendary Ferrari sports prototypes of the 1960s and sports a naturally aspirated V12 engine, mid-rear-mounted in typical racing car style. Undisputedly the most iconic of all of Ferrari’s engines, this power unit delivers 840 hp – along with 697 Nm of torque and maximum revs of 9500 rpm – making it the most powerful naturally aspirated road engine ever built by Ferrari.
35


Limited Edition Hypercars and One-Offs
In line with our tradition of hypercars starting with the GTO (288 GTO) in 1984 up to the Enzo in 2002 and the LaFerrari Aperta, our latest hypercar launched in 2016, we also produce limited edition hypercars. These are the highest expression of Ferrari road car performance at the time and are often the forerunners of technological innovations for future range models, with innovative features and futuristic design.
In order to meet the varying needs of our most loyal and discerning clients, we also produce a very limited number of one-off models. While based on the chassis and equipped with engines of one of the current range models for homologation and registration purposes, these cars reflect the exact exterior and interior design specifications requested by the clients, and are produced as a single, unique car. Some of the most iconic models emerged from our One-Off program include the SP12 EC (inspired by the 512 BB and created in 2011), the F12 TRS (a radical two-seat roadster created on the platform of the F12berlinetta in 2014), the Ferrari SP38 (a superlative mid-rear V8 turbo taking inspiration from the legendary Ferrari F40), the 458MM Speciale (the last mid rear model with a V8 naturally aspirated engine in 2016), the Ferrari P80/C, a real track car taking inspiration from past Ferrari Sport Prototipo models, and the Ferrari Omologata, based on the 812 Superfast V12 platform. The most recent model, produced in 2021, is the BR20, a very elegant V12 based on the GTC4 Lusso.

To assist our clients’ choice we also offer three collections inspired by Ferrari’s own tradition: Scuderia (taking its lead from our sporting history), Classica (bringing a modern twist to the styling cues of our signature GT models) and Inedita (showcasing more experimental and innovation-led personalization).
The “One-off” program is the maximum level of personalization and exclusivity. See “—Limited Edition Hypercars and One-Offs” above for more details.

Design
Design is a fundamental and distinctive aspect of our products and our brand. Our designers, modelers and engineers work together to create car bodies that incorporate the most innovative aerodynamic solutions in the sleek and powerful lines typical of our cars. The interiors of our cars seek to balance functionality, aesthetics and comfort. Cockpits are designed to maximize the driving experience, tending towards more sporty or more comfortable depending on the model. The interiors of our vehicles boast elegant and sophisticated trims and details that enhance the ergonomic layout of all main controls, many of which are clustered on the steering wheel. A guiding principle of our design is that each new model represents a clear departure from prior models and introduces new and distinctive aesthetic elements, delivering constant innovation within the furrow of tradition.
For the design of our cars we have relied historically on Italian coachbuilders such as Carrozzeria Touring, Vignale, Scaglietti and Pininfarina. These partnerships helped Ferrari in defining its design language at the forefront of design advance. Throughout the years this area of excellence has been recognized repeatedly by a long series of awards being bestowed upon Ferrari cars.
In 2010 we established the Ferrari Design Centre, our in-house design department, with the objective of improving control over the entire design process and ensuring long-term continuity of the Ferrari style. The mission of the Ferrari Design Centre is to define and evolve the stylistic direction of the marque, imprinting all new products with a modern stamp, according to a futuristic, uncompromised vision. The name and logo “Ferrari Design” denotes all concepts and works of the Ferrari Design Centre (see “—Intellectual Property”). Ferrari Design handles all aspects of automotive styling for the Ferrari road cars product range, encompassing the styling of all bodywork, external components and interior trim, applied to series production models for the GT and sports car range special editions, limited edition hypercars, Iconas, one-off models, concept cars and some track-only models. Ferrari Design also includes a Color & Trim unit which manages the choice of materials and finishes for both exterior and interior trim and, in addition, is responsible for the Tailor Made program in conjunction with the Product Marketing department. Ferrari Design is also involved in the styling and conceptual definition of Ferrari branded products produced by our licensees (see “—Brand Activities”). In 2019, we created the Advanced Design team, a laboratory that aims at defining the brand’s design vision, developing new concepts and formal languages through so far unexplored methods and tools, and trying to achieve simplification and formal purity while staying true to the Ferrari DNA which has characterized its history.
Ferrari Design is organized as an integrated automotive design studio, employing a total workforce of approximately 120 people (full-time workers as well as external contractors) including designers, 3D surfacing operators, physical modelers and graphic artists. It operates a modeling studio fully equipped with 5-axis milling machines with the capacity to develop various full-scale models (interior and exterior) in parallel.
In September 2018 we opened a new building for the Ferrari Design Centre, which is our first facility fully dedicated to the Ferrari Design. The new building hosts two Ateliers and the Tailor Made department to engage clients with Ferrari’s rich personalization services. The Ferrari Design Centre has designed our most recent cars, including our entire current line up.

During its 12 year history, the Ferrari Design Centre has received many prestigious design awards for the cars it has designed, including the following in the last 2 years:

Ferrari SF90 Spider: iF Design Award; Red Dot Design Award (2021);
Ferrari Omologata: Red Dot Design Award (2021);
Ferrari Roma: iF Design Award (2021);
Ferrari Portofino M: AUTONIS - Best New Design 2021-Auto Motor und Sport - (2021);

On September 27, 2021 we announced a long-term, multi-year collaboration with the creative collective LoveFrom. The first expression of this new partnership will bring together Ferrari’s legendary performance and excellence with LoveFrom’s unrivalled experience and creativity that has defined extraordinary world changing products.

Product Development
Product development and technological innovation
    Our development efforts take into account the three defining dimensions of Ferrari cars; performance; versatility and comfort; and driving emotions.
Performance reflects features such as weight, horsepower, torque, grip, aerodynamic efficiency, acceleration, and maximum speed, which all contribute to determine the lap time on track. We strive to ensure that every Ferrari is the best performing car in its segment.
Versatility derives from spaciousness, accessibility and mode of traction, including rear‑wheel‑drive or all‑wheel‑drive and, in future, electric-powered driving. Comfort results from the ease of the riding experience and onboard interface. Regulation will affect development in this area; for example, a prescribed electric range may be required in future to access city centers.
Driving emotions is a key differentiator of Ferrari cars. There are three elements to driving emotions: sound, perceived acceleration and responsiveness of the car. Sound is an important part of the experience and very involving for the driver. Perceived acceleration is the driver’s subjective impression of the instantaneous car acceleration beyond the actual 0-100 or 0-200 km/h performance measured in the car technical specifications. Responsiveness requires that every driver command (steering, gear shifting and braking) leads to an immediate, linear and controllable reaction of the car.
These three dimensions variably interact in our sports and GT cars. As we work on the future product range, we strive to improve on each of those dimensions, focusing for sports cars on performance and driving emotions, and for GT cars on versatility and comfort on board and driving emotions.

race-20211231_g9.jpg

Innovation principles
We believe there are five key guidelines to innovation at Ferrari: focus on the three key defining dimensions described above; leveraging on Formula 1 know-how; first mover positioning in core areas such as powertrain and aerodynamics; customization of technologies available on the market (such as the turbo technology); and pursuit of synergies (arising from common architectures within our range). In addition to these internally driven factors, regulation is key in determining the direction of innovation.
Combustion and hybrid engines
We believe internal combustion engines will remain important in Ferrari’s powertrain mix and therefore we continue to invest in new combustion engine technologies and the development or use of bio-fuels.
Going forward, Ferrari will have three engine families:
V12 - We will maintain and develop the V12 naturally aspirated engine family, long the pinnacle of Ferrari engines;
V8 - We have implemented further technological enhancements for the V8 family; and
V6 - We developed and launched this year a completely new V6 family based on a specific and innovative architecture.
The industry effort to combine greater power outputs with lower emissions and consumption often leads to a higher turbo lag. Through a technological breakthrough, Ferrari has engineered a turbo engine with turbo engine performance but with the response of a naturally aspirated engine. For example, compared to Ferrari’s previous line of V8 turbo engines, the specific power output of the Ferrari F8 Tributo and the Ferrari 488 Pista was increased to 184 horsepower per litre without meaningful turbo lag.
We have undertaken an important program to develop hybrid and electric technology. One of the more relevant topics of this generation, we expect the concept of the car in an era of climate change to be an opportunity for us. We intend to use hybrid and electric technology, as well as Formula 1 technology, to increase specific power output without turbo lag.
Innovation runs within Ferrari, so the challenge of building a Ferrari for a low-emissions future is one that we are already embracing. With the SF90 Stradale we developed the first series production model in our range with PHEV
39


technology, which is also featured in the SF90 Spider. In 2021 we launched our third production model with PHEV technology, the 296 GTB, a pure rear wheel drive sports car that reaches the pinnacle of driving emotions thanks to its V6 engine and significantly reduced weight, giving it a class-leading overall weight-to-power ratio. The increased offering of hybrid powertrains will allow us to meet both specific regulatory requirements and also satisfy customers’ desires for significantly improved emissions, while enhancing the performance and driving experience that render Ferrari cars unique.
Architecture
In addition to engines, the other principal technical area we are focusing on is the architecture. Our architecture covers all principal technical specifications of future Ferrari models. We expect that innovation requirements will arise principally from: the evolution of engine families; the level of hybridization and electrification; modes of traction; the number of seats up to a real four-seater; and the body style, which will vary much more significantly than in the past in light of the introduction of the Purosangue.
We expect that our core architectures will be the rear‑mid‑engine architecture and the front‑mid‑engine architecture, each comprising several variants.

race-20211231_g10.jpg

Rear-mid-engine architecture
The rear‑mid‑engine architecture is optimal for sports cars thanks to its compact dimensions, low gravity center and favorable mass repartitions. It is designed to integrate multiple power units with a higher specific power output than the Ferrari 488 Pista. In this architecture, combustion engines can be combined with an electric motor to realize hybridization, including a battery to enable electric range. This architecture also allows to install an E-Axle on the front to increase overall power and to have an all-wheel drive powertrain. The first application of this architecture is the SF90 Stradale. In combination, we have developed a new and highly innovative 8-shift double‑clutch transmission gearbox. Hybridization will impact the weight of engines and therefore we will deploy new lightweight technologies to compensate this impact. Package efficiency will also be key to achieve a compact car that reduces weight and inertia. In order to apply the architecture to different powertrains, the wheelbase may vary. The second example of this new architecture is the 296 GTB, where the V6 engine allowed for a reduction in the wheel base of 500 mm with a positive impact on driving emotions and without any trade off of comfort on board.
Front-mid-engine architecture
The front‑mid‑engine architecture, also a transaxle powertrain concept, is optimal for our GT cars in terms of dimensions. This architecture is able to accommodate an all‑wheel‑drive powertrain, will allow for hybridization, and will have a flexible wheelbase suited to a variety of engines as well as seat configurations including two‑seaters and four‑seaters. It will be accessible, spacious and comfortable. Key to this architecture will be the new active suspension systems we are developing, with a high range between comfort and sportiness.

New-generation human-machine interface
Particularly driven by growth in the GT segment, Ferrari has developed the next generation of human‑machine interface (HMI) technologies. Using state‑of‑the‑art technologies we will be guided by the Formula 1 derived concept of “eyes on the street, hands on the steering wheel”, for a focused, safe and enjoyable drive. The new HMI includes several new technologies, including a new head‑up display, a new innovative cluster, a new steering wheel that features new commands and a new infotainment system, as well as tools aimed at positively enhancing the passengers’ experience. The first cars using all or part of these technologies are the SF90 Stradale and the Ferrari Roma.
Autonomous driving and connectivity
While we do not intend to develop self-driving cars, we will adopt certain features of autonomous driving technology in response to regulatory developments and customer preferences, especially in the GT segment. For example, in 2018 we launched initial functionalities for Advanced Driving Assistant Systems (ADAS) such as predictive braking and automatic cruise control on current models, and further innovations will be introduced in future models.
Ferrari is carefully monitoring the evolution of autonomous driving technologies, including sensors, new chips, artificial intelligence and connectivity, and we will select and customize those innovations compatible with the Ferrari experience and the highest security standards. These technologies combined with the hybridization and the incoming cybersecurity requirements will also have an important impact on the electronic architecture of our cars and we are presently developing our future electrical and electronic architecture to take into account these requirements.

Production and Procurement
Production Process
Our production facilities are located in Maranello and in Modena, Italy (see “Item 4.D. Property, Plant, and Equipment”). Our production processes include supply chain management, production and distribution logistics of cars in our range models and special series, as well as assembly of prototypes and avanseries.
Notwithstanding the low volumes of cars produced, our production process requires a great variety of inputs - over 40,000 product identifier codes sourced from approximately 800 total suppliers - entailing complex supply chain management to ensure continuity of production. Our stock of supplies is warehoused in Ubersetto, near Maranello, and its management is outsourced to a third party logistics company.
Most of the manufacturing process takes place in Maranello, including aluminum alloy casting in our foundry, engine construction, mechanical machining, painting, car assembly, and bench testing; at our second plant in Modena (Carrozzeria Scaglietti) we manufacture the aluminum bodyworks of our cars. All parts and components not produced in house at Ferrari are sourced from our panel of suppliers (see “—Procurement”).
Between 2002 and 2012 the plants housing our production processes were entirely renovated or rebuilt and in recent years we have continued to make significant investments in our manufacturing facilities. Equipment may require substantial investment with the introduction of new models or to maintain state-of-the-art technology, particularly in the case of shell tools for the foundry, tools for machining, feature tools for body welding and special mounting equipment for the assembly. Starting from 2021, we have been acquiring additional resources and production equipment, mainly in relation to Battery Electric Vehicles (“BEVs”), to successfully manage the new technological advancements and related challenges resulting from the transition to electrification.
As at December 31, 2021, our production processes employed 1,723 engineers, technicians and other personnel (191 white collar employees and 1,532 workers, of which 449 were temporary production employees). We have a flexible production organization, which allows us to adjust production capacity to accommodate our expected production requirements. This is primarily due to the low volume of cars we produce per year and to our highly skilled and flexible employee base that can be deployed across various production areas. In addition, we can adjust our make-or-buy strategies to address fluctuations in the level of demand on our internal production resources. Our facilities can accommodate a meaningful increase in production compared to current output with the increase of weekend shifts to address special peaks in demand. In 2021 we increased production with the introduction of a second shift on car assembly lines in addition to the
single shift operated on the V8 assembly line. We constantly work to increase the utilization rate and reduce the internal scrap rate and we closely monitor an index of our production efficiency. We are also committed to continually improving the reliability of our cars, reducing defects, and optimize finishing.
Unlike most low volume car producers, we operate our own foundry and machining department producing several of the main components of our engines, such as engine blocks, cylinder heads and crankshafts. We believe this accelerates product development and results in components that meet our specifications more closely.
Engine Production
Our engines are produced according to a vertical structure, from the casting of aluminum in our foundry up to the final assembly and testing of the engine. Several of the main components of our engines, such as blocks and cylinder heads are produced at our foundry in Maranello. For this purpose, we use a special aluminum alloy that includes seven percent silicon and a trace of iron, which improves mechanical integrity, as well as our own shell and sand casting molds. Once all components are ready, engines are assembled on different lines for our V12 engines, our V8 and V6 engines, and the V6 engines we manufacture for Maserati. The assembly process is a combination of automatic and manual operations. At the start of the assembly process, each engine is identified with a barcode and operations are recorded electronically. Every engine goes to the test benches to ensure it delivers the expected performance; 10-20 percent of engines are also hot tested and measured for power and torque. In 2021 we produced an average of approximately 114 engines per day, including approximately 8 V12 engines and 49 V8 engines (including 5 V8 turbo for Maserati), as well as 57 V6 engines for Maserati (see “—Manufacturing of Engines for Maserati”).
Body Assembly
In parallel with the assembly of our engines, we prepare our body-shells at our body shop Carrozzeria Scaglietti in Modena. The main components of body-shells are not manufactured internally but are sourced from manufacturers for chassis, bodies and carbon fiber parts. At Carrozzeria Scaglietti we have two different production lines dedicated to the assembly of our V8 and V12 aluminum bodies. We carefully check the alignment of the various parts – most importantly the engine cover and the wings – with electronic templates and gauges. Our highly trained specialists also perform surface controls on the aluminum panels and eliminate any imperfections by either filing or panel beating. In our Scaglietti plant we also have a dedicated line for the assembly of a special carbon fiber body for the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, and for the latest Icona model launched in November 2021, the Ferrari Daytona SP3.
Painting
When transferred to our paint shop, the bodies are mounted on a loading bay, immersed in the cataphoresis tanks and subsequently transferred to a fixing gas fired oven at 140°C. Primers are then applied and fixed at 190°C until the completely grey body-shell is ready for painting. All body-shells are cleaned with automatic pressure blowers (to avoid the electrostatic effect) and carefully brushed with emu feathers (because of their natural electrostatic properties) to clean off any dirt particles or impurities before painting. The painting process is automated for larger surfaces, while it is done by hand for some other localized areas. In 2019, we replaced the robot which performs the application of the base coat. The whole car is painted at the same time to ensure color harmony. The bodies are finally polished with lacquer to fix the paint and give the bodies their final finish. In 2018 we substituted our clear coat with a new generation 2K (bi-component) transparent coat that allows us to decrease the temperature of the oven from 140°C to 90°C; this is a very innovative process that allows us to simultaneously paint aluminum and carbon fiber parts.
Assembly Line and Final Checks
The final assembly of our cars takes place in Maranello. We have three different lines placed at ground level and the first floor of the building. For each model, the initial assembly operations take place simultaneously on different lines and sections to maximize efficiency so while the body is assembled on the main line, the powertrain, as well as the cockpit and the doors, are prepared on a separate sub-line. In 2018, the line on the first floor moved from one shift to two shifts. On the first floor there is also the assembly line for the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2; starting from April 2021, the line on the ground floor also moved from one to two shifts.
Personalization and Road Tests
During the assembly process of our cars we manage the fitting of all bespoke interiors, components and special equipment options that our clients choose as part of our personalization program (see “—Sports and GT, Special Series and Icona: Ferrari Line up Strategic Pillars—Personalization Offer”). After the assembly phase, every car completes a 40-kilometer road test-drive.
Finishing and Cleaning
After the road test all cars go to the finishing department. There, we thoroughly clean interior and exterior, perform a comprehensive review of the whole car, and polish and finish the bodies to give them their final appearance.
Manufacturing of Engines for Maserati
We have been producing engines for Maserati since 2003. The V8 engines that we historically produced and continue to produce for Maserati are variants of Ferrari families of engines and are mounted on Maserati’s highest performing models, such as the Quattroporte and Levante (turbo engines), and the GranTurismo and the GranCabrio (aspirated engines). All of the V8 engines that we sell to Maserati are manufactured and assembled according to the same production processes we adopt for the V8s equipped on our cars (see “—Production Process”).
In 2011 we began producing a family of engines exclusively for Maserati, in much larger production volumes to be installed on the Quattroporte and Ghibli (mainly the F160 3.0-liter V6 Turbo engines), and in 2016 we started the production of F161 engines to be installed on the Levante, Maserati’s SUV. The term of our supply agreement with Maserati for the production of V6 and V8 engines is until 2023. Under the framework agreement, Maserati is required to compensate us for certain costs we may incur from our suppliers if there is a shortfall in the annual volume of engines actually purchased by Maserati in that year. In 2021, we sold approximately 1,250 V8 turbo engines to Maserati and approximately 13,650 V6 engines in six different versions, ranging from 330 hp to 450 hp.

In order to meet the V6 volume and specifications requirements, in 2012 we built a dedicated assembly facility in Maranello with a much higher level of industrialization compared to production of our V12 engines. Due to the larger volumes and product specifications, our make-or-buy strategy for the production of F160 V6 and F161 V6 engines also differs from the strategy applicable to the production of Ferrari engines. The vast majority of the engine components are sourced externally from our panel of suppliers (see “—Procurement”) and in 2020 we started sourcing all casting and machining of the cylinder heads externally, while the V6 assembly line and testing continued to be managed by us in Maranello.
Procurement
We source a variety of components, raw materials, supplies, utilities, logistics and other services from numerous suppliers. We recognize the contribution of our suppliers to our success in pursuing excellence in terms of luxury and performance, therefore we carefully select suppliers that are able to meet our high standards.
For the sourcing of certain key components with highly technological specifications, we have developed strongly synergic relationships with some of our suppliers, which we consider “key strategic innovation partners”. We currently rely on selected key strategic innovation partners, including for the supply of transmissions and brakes. We have also developed strong relationships with other industrial partners for bodyworks and chassis manufacturing and for powertrain and transmissions, among other things. Pursuant to our make-or-buy strategy, we generally retain production in-house whenever we have an interest in preserving or developing technological know-how or when we believe that outsourcing would impair the efficiency and flexibility of our production process. Therefore, we continue to invest in the skills and processes required for low-volume production of components that we believe improve product quality.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the purchases from our ten largest suppliers by value accounted for approximately 20 percent of total procurement costs, and no supplier accounted for more than 10 percent of our total procurement costs.

Sales and After-Sales
Our commercial team, which includes approximately 360 employees at December 31, 2021, is organized in four geographic areas covering our principal regional end markets: (i) EMEA, (ii) Americas, (iii) Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and (iv) Rest of APAC.
Dealer network
We sell our cars exclusively through a network of authorized dealers (with the exception of one-offs and track cars which we sell directly to end clients). In our larger markets we act as importer either through wholly owned subsidiaries or, in China, through a subsidiary partly owned by a local partner, and we sell the cars to dealers for resale to end clients. In smaller markets we generally sell the cars to a single importer/dealer. We regularly assess the composition of our dealer network in order to maintain the highest level of quality. At December 31, 2021, our network comprised 172 dealers operating 191 points of sale.
We do not presently own dealerships and, while our strategy does not contemplate owning dealerships, we retain flexibility to adapt to evolving market requirements over time.
We believe that our careful and strict selection of the dealers that sell our cars is a key factor for promoting the integrity and success of our brand. Our selection criteria are based on the candidates’ reputation, financial stability and proven track records. We are also intent on selecting dealers who are able to provide a purchase and after-sales experience aimed at exceeding our clients’ high expectations. Furthermore, our dealers are committed to promoting and marketing our cars in a manner intended to preserve the Ferrari brand integrity and to ensure the highest level of client satisfaction.
While dealers may hold multiple franchises, we enjoy a high degree of prominence and level of representation at each point of sale, where most of the client interface and retail experience is exclusive to Ferrari. Our network and business development team works with all dealers to ensure our operating standards are met. Our rigorous design, layout and corporate identity guidelines guarantee uniformity of the Ferrari image and client interface.
In 2021 and through the date of this report, our dealer network has successfully adapted to the new and unforeseen challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We have supported our dealers network since the start of the pandemic, including through our “Back on Track” program, which has allowed our dealers to welcome our clients in their showrooms safely. In addition, the majority of our dealer network’s worldwide facilities have been upgraded with the latest Ferrari Corporate Identity, to provide clients with a superior experience while delivering a unique luxury environment and digital touchpoints to complement the physical environment.
Through our in-house Ferrari Academy we provide training to dealers for sales, after-sales and technical activities. This ensures that our dealer network delivers a consistent level of market leading standards across diverse cultural environments. During 2020 and 2021 our training strategy was quickly adapted by introducing and boosting virtual-training solutions to cope with travel restrictions, while continuing to foster expertise in the network at the highest level.
We collect and observe data relating to dealer profitability and financial health in order to prevent or mitigate any adverse experience for clients arising from a dealer ceasing to do business or experiencing financial difficulties. Our regional representatives visit dealerships regularly to monitor and measure performance and compliance with our operating standards. We have the right to terminate dealer relationships in a variety of circumstances, including failure to meet performance or financial standards, or failure to comply with our guidelines. Dealer turnover is relatively low, reflecting the strength of the franchise and our selection processes, but is sufficient to guarantee an orderly renewal over time and to stimulate the network’s health and performance.
We provide a suggested retail price or a maximum retail price for all of our cars, but each dealer is free to negotiate different prices with clients and to provide financing. Although many of our clients in certain markets purchase our cars from dealers without financing, we offer direct or indirect finance and leasing services to retail clients and to dealers. (See “—Financial Services”).

The total number of our dealers as well as their geographical distribution tends to closely reflect the development or expected development of sales volumes to end clients in our various markets over time. The chart below sets forth the geographic distribution of our 191 points of sale at December 31, 2021:
race-20211231_g11.jpg
Our sales are diversified across our dealer network, with the largest dealer representing approximately 2.6 percent of our shipments, and our 15 largest dealers representing approximately 24 percent of our shipments in 2021.
As part of our supply and demand management, we determine allocations based on various metrics including expected developments in the relevant market, the number of cars sold historically by the various dealers, current order book of dealers and the average waiting time of the end client in the relevant market. Our order reporting system allows us to collect and monitor information regarding end client orders and is able to assist us in production planning, allocation and dealer management.
Parts
We supply parts for current and older models of Ferrari to our authorized dealer network.     In addition to substitution of spare parts during the life of the car, sales are driven by clients’ demand for parts to customize their cars and maximize performance, particularly after a change in ownership, as well as parts required to compete in the Ferrari Challenge and other client races. We also supply parts to Ferrari models currently out of production, with stocks dating back to 1995. The stock of parts for even older models is currently owned and managed by a third party which in some cases also manufactures out-of-stock parts based on our designs. The sale of parts is a profitable component of our product mix and is expected to benefit from the increase in the number of Ferrari cars in circulation.
After-sales
Dealers provide after-sales services to clients, either at facilities adjacent to showrooms, or in stand-alone service points across 237 facilities worldwide at December 31, 2021. After-sales activities are very important for our business to ensure the client’s continued enjoyment of the car and the experience. Therefore, we enforce a strict quality control on our dealers’ services activities and we provide continued training and support to the dealers’ service personnel. This includes our team of “flying doctors,” Ferrari engineers who regularly travel to service centers to address difficult technical issues for our clients.
We sell cars together with a scheduled program of recommended maintenance services in order to ensure that these cars are maintained to the highest standards to meet our strict requirements for performance and safety.
43


Our 7 Year Maintenance Program (free of charge for customers since 2011 on any new cars) is offered to further strengthen customer retention in the official network and has been coupled with the possibility to extend the statutory warranty term of our standard warranty terms through the Power warranty coverage program up to the 15th year of life of the car. For certain strictly limited series cars (for example, the LaFerrari and the LaFerrari Aperta) we introduced a Full Warranty Coverage Extension that can be applied after the 36-month commercial contractual warranty.
After the 7th year of life, a car (if in perfect maintenance condition) can be included in the Main Power warranty coverage program (Maintenance and Power) through to the car’s 15th year of life. Between the 10th year of life and the Classiche eligibility (20 year old car) Ferrari provides its customers, in addition to standard maintenance items, also certain specific maintenance kits (Ferrari Premium) to preserve car performance and safety systems. When a car follows the full maintenance program up to the 20th year of life, it automatically obtains the Ferrari Classiche certification.
While we do not have any direct involvement in pre-owned car sales, we seek to support a healthy secondary market in order to promote the value of our brand, benefit our clients and facilitate sales of new cars. Our dealers provide an inspection service for clients seeking to sell their car which involves detailed checks on the car and a certification on which the client can rely, covering, among other things, the authenticity of the car, the conformity to original technical specifications, and the state of repair. Furthermore, we offer owners of classic Ferrari cars maintenance and restoration services through the 73 “Officina Ferrari Classiche” workshops, part of our service network.
In addition, owners of our classic cars can seek assistance in car and engine restorations at our Ferrari Classiche department in Maranello.
Financial Services
We offer retail client financing for the purchase of our cars as well as dealer financing through the operations of Ferrari Financial Services (“FFS”).
We offer retail client financing:
directly in the United States through our fully owned subsidiary Ferrari Financial Services Inc. (“FFS Inc”);
through our associate Ferrari Financial Services GmbH in certain markets in EMEA (primarily the UK, Germany and Switzerland); and
through various partnerships in other European countries and other major international markets, such as Japan and Mainland China.
FFS Inc also has remaining dealer financing services in the United States.
Through FFS, we offer a range of flexible, bespoke financial and ancillary services to clients (both current and new) interested in purchasing a wide range of cars, from our current product range to older pre-owned and classic models. FFS also provides special financing arrangements to a selected group of our most valuable and loyal customers.
Starting in 2016, FFS Inc has pursued a strategy of autonomous financing for our financial services activities in the United States, further reducing dependency on intercompany funding and increasing the portion of self-liquidating debt with various securitization transactions.
At December 31, 2021, the consolidated financial services portfolio was €1,144 million and originated in the United States.
Client Relations
Our clients are the backbone of our business together with our brand and our technology. We do not promote our brand or our cars through general advertising. Our main brand marketing and promotional activities have two principal targets.
44


Firstly, we target the general public. Our most significant effort in this respect is centered on our racing activities and the resonance of Scuderia Ferrari (see “—Formula 1 Activities”). We also engage in other brand-promotional activities, including our participation in various public events. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2021 our brand-promotional activities were carried out mainly through digital platforms such as eSports, and our official social media channels.
Secondly, we target existing and prospective clients, seeking to promote clients’ knowledge of our products, and their enjoyment of our cars both on road and on track, and to foster long-term relationships with our clients, which is key to our success. In 2021, approximately 59 percent of our new cars were sold to Ferrari owners.
By purchasing our cars, clients become part of a select community sharing a primary association with the Ferrari image and we foster this sense of fellowship with a number of initiatives. We strive to maximize the experience of our clients throughout their period of interaction with Ferrari – from first contact, through purchasing decision process, to waiting-time management and ownership.
The MyFerrari App is available exclusively for Ferrari clients to enhance their connection to the Ferrari world through the direct distribution of tailored content, including the digital editions of our 2021 model launches. This new channel enables clients to directly access features and services, strengthening their relationship with the brand and their preferred official Ferrari dealer.
Client events
With client gatherings still impacted by restrictions in 2021, we continued to hold the presentation of our latest product offerings using digital formats where appropriate.
In May 2021, we livestreamed on our social channels the presentation of the new limited series 812 Competizione and 812 Competizione A from our newly finished Attività Sportive GT facility which overlooks our Fiorano race track. Viewers were able to hear the wonderful sounds of the naturally aspirated V12 engine while the 812 Competizione completed hot laps around the circuit.
In June 2021, the 296 GTB, an evolution of Ferrari’s mid-rear-engined two-seater sports berlinetta concept, was unveiled digitally across our social channels in an extended reality format around the “Fun to Drive” concept of the model.

Additionally, in November 2021 the Ferrari Daytona SP3, the third car to join the strictly limited-edition Icona series, was presented to selected clients at an exclusive and private gathering at Casa Ferrari in Florence. The Ferrari Daytona SP3 made its public and livestream debut at the Finali Mondiali held at the Mugello circuit, where it led a parade flanked by the legendary sports prototypes of the 1960s that it was inspired from.

Following the digital launches of our new product offerings, clients were engaged locally by their preferred Ferrari dealers for conducting car configurations, static previews of the model, and eventually dynamic test drives when the dealer demonstrations became available.
Clients can continue to benefit from a set of direct services which enables them to participate in remote Atelier and Tailor Made sessions directly with our team of designers in Maranello. In addition, clients can send their creations in the configurator tool of the MyFerrari app directly to their official dealers.
Driving events
    Driving events serve the dual objective of allowing clients to enjoy the best emotions of driving a Ferrari, and to foster client loyalty and repeat purchases by creating enhanced opportunities to experience new Ferrari cars. The Ferrari community is a passionate group supported by a wide array of experiences tailored to the dreams of modern car owners, classic car connoisseurs, and racetrack enthusiasts.
We see nurturing our clients’ passion for driving as a key asset for our future commercial success, particularly in markets where racing traditions are less pronounced. We offer our prospective and existing clients interested in new Ferrari models our Esperienza Ferrari program, which consists of driving sessions with a team of highly qualified and skilled Ferrari instructors and technicians. In addition we also offer to our clients on-track driving courses (Corso Pilota), catering to
45


different levels of skill and experience and teaching essential driving skills for high performance cars. In selected markets, such as China, we also offer complimentary driving courses on-track to any new car buyer.
In addition to on-track racing, we organize various on-the-road driving events, both under proprietary formats (Ferrari Cavalcade, including the Cavalcade Classiche) and with our own branded presence within established driving events. For example, in the Ferrari Tribute to Mille Miglia and the Ferrari Tribute to Targa Florio modern Ferrari cars take part in their own dedicated competition before the start of the main racing.
To mark the tenth anniversary of our most exclusive driving event for clients, in 2021 the Ferrari Cavalcade was held in Taormina, Sicily, gathering for the first time both our best modern and classic Ferrari models owned by clients from around the world. A final gala was held in the spectacular Teatro Antico di Taormina, a perfect climax to the driving experience through the charms and warm hospitality of Southern Italy.
All driving events managed directly by Ferrari, such as the Ferrari Cavalcade, and those managed by third-party event organizers, such as the Ferrari Tribute to Mille Miglia and the Ferrari Tribute to Targa Florio, proceeded in accordance with local government health and safety regulations.
Another exclusive driving experience added in 2021 is the Corso Pilota Classiche course led by experts of the Ferrari Classiche team, and aimed at classic car enthusiasts and clients interested in learning more about the Ferrari Classiche certification program and the storied archives at our Officine Classiche restoration department. The initiative also offers the opportunity to experience on-track driving of those celebrated models on our Fiorano race circuit.
Attività Sportive GT
Attività Sportive GT is our department overseeing the activities of Competizioni GT and Corse Clienti which organizes and supports client activities on track. Ferrari is once again World Endurance Champion, both in the Constructors’ and Drivers’ categories, four years after its prior win, completing one of the most successful seasons in Ferrari’s history.

In 2021, the Competizioni GT department enjoyed a year of extraordinary achievements on track. Ferrari AF Corse’s 488 GTEs won the Constructors’ title in the FIA World Endurance Championship. Ferrari drivers Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado won the world championship for a second time after winning in 2017, becoming the first World Endurance Championship drivers to achieve this result. Ferrari and AF Corse achieved two titles in the LMGTE AM category as well, and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in PRO and Am classes. In the GT3 car championships, the 488 GT3 Evo 2020 continued its winning streak. Pier Guidi-Ledogar-Nielsen’s victory in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup was undoubtedly the most important result of the season, and the crew drove a Ferrari to glory in the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps for the first time since 2004. The 2021 488 GTE and 488 GT3 statistics were updated with 44 victories in 93 races (48%) and 423 wins in 761 races (55%), respectively. Since its racing debut, the various configurations of the 488 GT3 have achieved 106 titles.

While providing direct and indirect support to the various racing teams, the Competizioni GT engineers kept planning for the future. On February 24, 2021 Ferrari announced the launch of the Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) programme under which Ferrari will enter the new top category of the FIA WEC World Championship starting from 2023, in partnership with AF Corse. Ferrari has also announced a technical partnership agreement with ORECA for the assembly and after-sales services of the new GT3, which will begin track testing in early 2022. The technical partnership confirms Ferrari’s long-term commitment to the main GT car championships.

Among the non-competitive activities, the Club Competizioni GT continued successfully and the event’s participation increased by 24 percent compared to 2020, benefiting from the debut of the 488 GT Modificata, a limited series car dedicated to sports clients, 24 of which took part in the Finali Mondiali.

Participants in the Corse Clienti racing season in Europe, North America and United Kingdom also increased in comparison with 2020, although the Asia Pacific series had to contend with continued travel restrictions and quarantines in the relevant geographies. For the first time in the history of the one-make series, a woman – Michelle Gatting – was crowned champion of the European series. During the Finali Mondiali, 17-year-old Finn Luka Nurmi won the Ferrari Challenge World Championship, setting another record after becoming the youngest winner in the history of the series at just 16 earlier in the year. The Ferrari Challenge Europe received the ISO 20121 certification, the international standard for sustainable event management, making the Prancing Horse’s one-make series the first European single-make series for thermal cars to
46


receive this certification. F1 Clienti and the XX Programme, the non-competitive activities of Corse Clienti F1 Clienti and the XX Programme, and the non-competitive activities of Corse Clienti, experienced an increase in the number of event attendees in 2021 compared to 2020 and featured two new initiatives: F1 Clienti Masterclass and XX Programme’s Exclusive Experience.

Ferrari Classiche
The Ferrari Classiche department supports Ferrari customers in managing their historic Ferrari vehicles with the objective of keeping as many of these classic cars on the road as possible. Services include the certification of the authenticity of classic Ferrari cars and vehicles of particular historical relevance, the management of Ferrari restoration and repair activities, as well as the management of Ferrari spare parts, including when these are no longer available on the market. The department also provides advice on repair operations carried out on Ferrari Classiche cars within its network.
Ferrari Classiche aims to create a platform of information and technical expertise to preserve and enhance over time the awareness and value of Ferrari’s heritage and brand. We view the surviving Ferrari vehicles of historical value as the tangible legacy and incarnation of our brand. The Ferrari Classiche department also supports and encourages the direct participation of clients in strategic historical events.
The Ferrari Classiche department in Maranello consists of an office of specialists and a workshop in which historic cars are restored and repaired. In addition, in order to provide an enhanced service to owners away from the main workshop in Maranello, starting in 2017 Ferrari Classiche authorized a new service network with 73 “Officina Ferrari Classiche” workshops to date, primarily for vehicle repairs and the certifications’ inspections or revalidation, and the network is expected to expand in future periods.
The originality of the car with respect to the initial specifications is checked via a technical inspection, performed either at the Ferrari Classiche facility in Maranello or at an authorized Officina Ferrari Classiche, and benefits from a comprehensive archive containing drawings of each of the individual chassis and details of historical components. Based on the evidence gathered during this inspection, the car is then presented to an expert committee, chaired by the founder’s son, Piero Ferrari, for the certification.
At the Maranello workshop, Ferrari Classiche carries out full restorations using either original components and spare parts or replicas manufactured in accordance with the original specifications. Our service offers our clients the opportunity to restore any classic Ferrari to its original pristine conditions.
The Ferrari Classiche department also provides basic technical and instructional support to the Ferrari Classiche Academy, a new driving school project that launched in 2019 for vintage Ferrari cars, including the Ferrari 308 and 550 Maranello.

Formula 1 Activities
Participation in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship with Scuderia Ferrari is a core element of our marketing effort and promotional activities, as well as an important source of technological innovation for the engineering, development and production of our sports, GT, special series and Icona cars. The FIA Formula 1 World Championship is the pinnacle of motorsports with 445 million unique viewers and a total cumulative global television audience of 1.55 billion in 2021. (Source: Formula 1 Press Office)
Once again in 2021, Formula 1’s social media platforms grew significantly, with the total number of followers up 40 percent to 49.1 million, and video views increased by 50 percent to 7 billion. In 2021, Formula 1’s social media channels were once again the fastest growing major sports league in the world across the four major social platforms and registered the fastest growth in engagement compared to other major sports. (Source: Formula 1 Press Office)
Formula 1 cars rely on advanced technology, powerful hybrid engines and cutting edge aerodynamics. While Europe is the sport’s traditional base, longstanding non-European venues such as Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Mexico and the United States have been joined in the last two decades by racing venues in China, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Azerbaijan. This provides participants in the Formula 1 World Championship exceptional visibility on the world stage.
Scuderia Ferrari has been racing in the Formula 1 World Championship since the series was launched in 1950, and won its first Grand Prix in 1951. We are the only team that has competed in each season since launch and the oldest and most successful in the history of Formula 1, with 238 Grand Prix wins. Throughout our racing history, we have won 15 Drivers’ Championships and 16 Constructors’ Championships, more than any other team. Many of the best known drivers in the sport’s history have raced in Scuderia Ferrari’s distinctive red cars including Alberto Ascari, Juan-Manuel Fangio, Mike Hawthorn, Phil Hill, John Surtees, Niki Lauda, Jody Scheckter, Gilles Villeneuve, Michael Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen. Our drivers’ line-up in 2021 comprised Charles Leclerc, the first graduate of the Ferrari Driver Academy training scheme to race for our Formula 1 race team, and Carlos Sainz, a young but already experienced talented Spanish driver.

In 2021 the new FIA financial regulations entered into force, imposing a cap (which will gradually decrease over the next two years) on certain expenses and investments related to operations and the chassis of the cars which may be incurred by any single Formula 1 team. Moreover, development activities were also limited by the new regulation and only one development per component was allowed in the power unit area.

Though the 2021 season remained affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks to the efforts of FIA, Formula 1 and the teams, it was possible to organize 22 Grands Prix, a record number in the history of the sport.

In terms of results, the season ended with third place for the Scuderia Ferrari in the Constructors’ Championship, with 323.5 points, five podiums, two pole positions, and with fifth and seventh place finishes in the Drivers’ Championship, for Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc respectively.

Scuderia Ferrari’s continuing participation in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship over the five year period from 2021 to 2025 is governed by two agreements – widely known as New Concorde Agreement - signed on August 18, 2020. The first of such agreements governs the regulatory and governance aspects of the sport, and the second governs the commercial aspects. The New Concorde Agreement recognizes the historical role of Ferrari, the only team that has participated in all Formula 1 World Championship editions since its inception. In exchange for their participation in Formula 1 races, the participating teams receive a share of a prize fund based on the profits earned from Formula 1-related commercial activities managed by Formula 1, including in particular, promoters’ fees, television broadcasting royalties, partnership agreements and other sources. Shares in the prize fund are paid to the teams, largely based on the relative ranking of each team in the championship. We use our share of these payments to offset a portion of the costs associated with Scuderia Ferrari, including the costs of designing and producing the race cars each year and the costs associated with managing a racing team, including the salaries of the drivers, who are typically among the most highly paid athletes in the world. Please see “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Our revenues from Formula 1 activities may decline and our related expenses may grow”.

Improvements in technology and, from time to time, changes in regulations typically require the design and production of a new racing car every year. Therefore, in addition to our long-term research and development efforts, we begin designing our cars each year in the spring, in anticipation of the start of the racing season the following March. While the chassis and the power unit we build each year are designed to be used throughout the racing season, the majority of other components fitted on our cars are adjusted from race to race depending on the characteristics of the circuits.

To maximize the performance, efficiency and safety of our Formula 1 cars, while complying with the strict technical rules and restrictions set out by the FIA, our research and development team plays a key role in the development of our road cars and their engines. We often transfer technologies initially developed for racing to our road cars. Examples include steering wheel paddles for gear-shifting, the use and development of composite materials, which make cars lighter and faster, and technology related to hybrid propulsion.

    Our road cars (especially our sports car models) have benefited from the know-how acquired in the wind tunnel by our racing car development teams, enjoying greater stability as they reach high speeds on and off the track. Our research and development team focus on combining minimal lap times with maximum efficiency, leading to advances in kinetic energy recovery systems, or ERS, technology. Current advanced ERS features two electric motor/generator units in every car, which allow the car to recover, store and deploy energy generated both by the vehicle during braking and by the exhaust gases through a turbocharger.

The great visibility, both on traditional media and on digital platforms, that Scuderia Ferrari obtains thanks to its participation in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship continues to attract significant sponsorships. The visibility and placement of partner logos on the car and team uniforms reflect their respective level of sponsorship.
    
We use the platform provided by Formula 1 for a number of associated marketing initiatives, such as the hosting of clients and other key partners in Ferrari Formula 1 Club Hospitality to watch and experience the Grand Prix races with Scuderia Ferrari, and our Formula 1 drivers’ participation in various promotional activities for our road cars. We often sell older Formula 1 cars to customers for use in amateur racing or collection.

More generally, Formula 1 racing allows us to promote and market our brand and technology to a global audience without resorting to traditional advertising activities, therefore preserving the aura of exclusivity around our brand and limiting the marketing costs that we, as a company operating in the luxury industry, would otherwise incur.

In December 2021, the World Motor Sport Council validated the framework for the 2026 Power Unit Regulations, which includes technical, operational and financial guidelines. The framework identifies key objectives related to, among other things, the environmental impact, cost reduction measures and competitiveness of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. A detailed document of the 2026 Power Unit Regulations is expected to be developed and submitted to the World Motor Sport Council during the course of 2022.

Mugello Circuit
Located in Scarperia just outside Firenze, for more than 100 years the Mugello Circuit has carved its mark as one of the leading motorsport venues globally. Internationally renowned as the host venue for the Italian MotoGP Grand Prix since 1976 (and consecutively since 1994), the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Tuscany Ferrari 1000 in 2020, and numerous international motorsports competitions, the 5,245 metres circuit mimicking the natural slopes of the Tuscan hills is also famed for its ultimate driving experience and modern facilities.
Originally a 66 km road circuit, the first motorsport event held at Mugello starting from 1914 were regularity. Enzo Ferrari won in 1921 on an Alfa Romeo class 4.500. The current facilities were designed in the early 70’s and later re-modelled in 1988 when Ferrari bought the circuit. Year after year the track has seen consistent improvements in terms of safety with FIA Grade 1 and FIM Grade A certifications, the highest levels of homologation for a racetrack.

In 2021 the circuit hosted 250 days of track activities and 14 race weekends.

The circuit was awarded the prize for the Best Grand Prix circuit for a MotoGP event five times (1995, 1996, 1997, 2000, 2011), and is also a leader in terms of its sustainability practices. It was the first circuit in the world to obtain FIA’s prestigious “Achievement of Excellence” in 2015 and to be certified according to the sustainable event management system ISO 20121. In July 2021, an analysis carried out by Enovation Consulting and Right Hub on 96 circuits worldwide, 23 of which host or have hosted a Formula 1 GP, featured the Mugello Circuit on top of the Sustainable Circuits Index.

In 2021 all certifications were renewed, including for the international standards for sustainable and event management as well as the system of safety and health management on work places.

Brand Diversification Strategy
As one of the world’s leading luxury brands, Ferrari operates in carefully selected luxury and lifestyle categories. We also engage in brand development and protection activities through licensing contracts with selected partners, retail activities through a chain of franchised or directly managed stores, licensed theme parks and the development of a line of apparel and accessories sold in our monobrand stores, on our website www.store.ferrari.com and in selected multi-brand stores, both physical and online.
    In November 2019, management presented the principles of its brand diversification strategy, recognizing Ferrari as a unique brand with a dual identity: exclusive in relation to the luxury pricing and aspirational character of our cars, but also inclusive in relation to our F1 fan community. To ensure long-term profitable growth, Ferrari intends to focus its offering on product categories that enhance the vibrancy and vitality of the brand through the following pillars:
“Brand Extension” pillar, a refined collection of products that will embody Ferrari’s DNA;
“Entertainment” pillar, to reach out to a wider and younger customer base while leveraging Ferrari’s unique racing roots; and
“Car Adjacencies” pillar, a collection of exclusive luxury products and services to complement the Ferrari experience.
In 2021, due to government restrictions on travel and certain business activities imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of visitors in our museums, our franchised and directly managed stores, and our licensed theme parks (further described below) was significantly lower than pre-pandemic levels despite an increase compared to 2020.
Retail
Through our network of stores (franchised or directly managed), we offer a wide range of Ferrari branded products, including our fashion collection.
At December 31, 2021, there were a total of 30 retail Ferrari stores, including those in Maranello, Milan, Rome, Miami, Los Angeles and Abu Dhabi, of which 16 stores directly owned and operated by us and 14 franchised stores (including 12 Ferrari Store Junior).
race-20211231_g12.jpg
We require all franchisees to operate our monobrand stores according to our standards. Stores are designed, decorated, furnished and stocked according to our directions and specifications.
We use multiple criteria to select our franchisees, including know-how, financial condition, sales network and market access. Generally, we require that applicants meet certain minimum working capital requirements and have the requisite business facilities and resources. We typically enter into a standard franchising agreement with our franchisees. Pursuant to this agreement, the franchisee is authorized to sell our products at a suggested retail price. In exchange, we provide them with our products, the benefit of our marketing platform and association with our corporate identity.

Museums, Licensing, Entertainment and Theme Parks
Ferrari owns and manages two museums, one in Maranello and one in Modena.
We enter into license agreements with a number of licensees for the design, development and production of Ferrari branded products. We carefully select our licensees through a rigorous process and we contractually seek to ensure that our brand and intellectual property are protected and that the products which will eventually bear our brand are of adequate quality, appearance and market positioning. Ferrari branded products include consumer electronics, sportswear, toys, video games, watches and other accessories, as well as theme parks.
    In 2021, we consolidated our participation in eSports with the second edition of the Ferrari eSports series with more than 34,000 participants.
A significant portion of our revenues from licensing activities consists of royalties we receive in connection with Ferrari World, our theme park in Abu Dhabi. Ferrari World opened on Yas Island, on the North East side of Abu Dhabi’s mainland, in 2010. Ferrari World’s iconic sleek red roof is directly inspired by the classic double curve side profile of the Ferrari GT body, spanning 200,000 square meters and carrying the largest Ferrari logo ever created. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi offers an all-around Ferrari experience to children and adults alike.
    Our second theme park, Ferrari Land Portaventura, opened in April 2017 near Barcelona, and includes Red Force, the tallest and fastest roller-coaster in Europe. In the long-term we aim to open one theme park in each of the main geographic areas where we operate, including North America and Asia.

Intellectual Property
    We own a number of registered designs and utility patents. We expect the number to grow as we continue to pursue technological innovations and to develop our design and brand activities.
    We file patent applications in Europe, and around the world (including in the United States) to protect technology and improvements considered important to our business. No single patent is material to our business as a whole.
    We also own a number of registered trademarks, designs and patents, including approximately 510 trademarks (word or figurative), registered in several countries and across a number classes. In particular, we ensure that the maximum level of protection is given to the following iconic trademarks, for which we own approximately 4,020 applications/registrations in approximately 140 countries, in most of the main classes for goods and services:
“Ferrari” (word)
“Ferrari” logotype:
    race-20211231_g14.jpg
the “Prancing Horse” (figurative):
race-20211231_g15.jpg
the trademark (figurative):
    race-20211231_g16.jpg
52


the racing shield (figurative):
    race-20211231_g17.jpg
Scuderia Ferrari (word and figurative):
race-20211231_g18.jpg
The names of our sports, GT, special series and Icona car models and Formula 1 single-seater models are also registered as trademarks (and logotypes) and we also register their domain names and the cars’ design.
The protection of intellectual property is also increasingly important in connection with our design and brand activities. Therefore, we adopt and follow internal processes and procedures to ensure both that all necessary protection is given to our intellectual property rights and that no third party rights are infringed by us. In addition, we are particularly active in seeking to limit any counterfeiting activities regarding our Ferrari branded products around the world. To reach this goal we closely monitor trademark applications and domain names worldwide, actively interact with national and local authorities and customs and avail ourselves of a network of experienced outside counsels.

Regulatory Matters
We manufacture and sell our cars around the world and our operations are therefore subject to a variety of laws and regulations relating to environmental, health and safety and other matters. These laws regulate our cars, including their emissions, fuel consumption and safety, as well as our manufacturing facilities and operations, setting strict requirements on emissions, treatment and disposal of waste, water and hazardous materials and prohibitions on environmental contamination. Our vehicles, together with the engines that power them, must comply with extensive regional, national and local laws and regulations, and industry self-regulations (including those that regulate vehicle safety). However, we currently benefit from certain regulatory exemptions, because we qualify as an SVM or similar designation in certain jurisdictions where we sell cars. As outlined below, these exemptions provide a range of benefits, from less stringent emissions caps and compliance date extensions, to exemptions from zero emission vehicle production requirements.
We are in substantial compliance with the relevant regulatory requirements affecting our facilities and products around the world. We constantly monitor such requirements and adjust our operations as necessary to remain in compliance.
Approval and market surveillance
In May 2018 the European Parliament and European Council issued Regulation 2018/858, establishing the new framework for the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles (repealing Directive 2007/46/EC). While the previous regulatory framework of Directive 2007/46/EC was focused on technical standards, the new regulation has a broader scope by including market surveillance requirements in order to ensure the enforcement of applicable standards. The key objectives of Regulation 2018/858 are: enhancing the independence of technical services (i.e. the approved testing laboratories) as well as improving the quality of the testing of vehicles and setting stricter requirements for technical services; introducing market surveillance in order to verify the conformity of vehicles on the market to the applicable standards, and requiring corrective measures in case of non-compliance or where a vehicle poses a safety risk or a risk to the environment; strengthening the type
53


approval system with more stringent oversight by the EU. The Commission has the power to suspend, restrict or withdraw the designation of technical services, to order recalls, and to impose financial penalties.
Greenhouse gas/CO2/fuel economy legislation
    European legislation limited fleet average greenhouse gas emissions for new passenger cars to 130 grams of CO2 per kilometer for the period 2015-2019. Due to our SVM status under EU regulations we benefited from a derogation from the 130 grams per kilometer emissions requirement available to small volume and niche manufacturers during that period. Pursuant to that derogation, we were instead required to meet yearly CO2 emissions targets, beginning in 2012, reaching a target level of 290 grams per kilometer in 2016 for our fleet of EU-registered vehicles that year. Despite global shipments exceeding 10,000 vehicles in 2019, Ferrari continued to qualify as an SVM under EU regulations, because its total number of registered vehicles in the EU per year is less than 10,000 vehicles.
    In 2014, the European Union set new 2020 emissions targets, calling for 95 percent of a manufacturer’s full fleet of new passenger cars registered in the EU in 2020 to average 95 grams of CO2 per kilometer, rising to 100 percent of the fleet in 2021. The 2014 regulation extends the small volume and niche manufacturers derogation. Pursuant to the derogation approved by the European Commission following our petition, we were required to meet certain CO2 emissions target levels in the 2017-2021 period, reaching a target of 277 grams per kilometer in 2021 for our fleet of EU-registered cars that year.
    In 2019, the European Union set new 2025 and 2030 emissions targets, calling for respectively a 15 percent and 37.5 percent reduction of the target applicable in 2021. An incentive mechanism for zero and low emission vehicles was also introduced. This new regulation (EU 2019/631) continues to state that it is not appropriate to use the same method to determine the emissions reduction targets for large volume manufacturers as for small volume manufacturers that are considered as independent. Therefore, Ferrari and other SVMs have the possibility to continue to apply for alternative emissions reduction and are required to submit the application at the latest by October 31 of the year in which the related derogation shall apply.
    The regulation EU 2019/631 sets out new EU rules on monitoring and reporting of average emissions: the Commission will have to ensure the real-world representativeness of the CO2 emission values based on data from the fuel consumption meters installed in new cars and will be obliged to publish the performance of each manufacturer. For this purpose, the Commission issued in March 2021 the Implementing Regulation EU 2021/392 requiring manufacturers to collect and report the real-world on-board fuel consumption monitoring (OBFCM) data and the vehicle identification numbers of new cars registered starting from January 1, 2021, unless the vehicle owner expressly refuses to make that data available. The European Commission will then publish real-world data on an annual basis, aggregated at the level of manufacturer for comparison of the same set of vehicles between data recorded in the certificates of conformity and the real-world data. In addition, regulation EU 2019/631 requires the European Commission to evaluate the possibility of a common methodology for the assessment and the consistent data reporting of full life-cycle emissions from cars. The regulation also includes provisions on in-service conformity testing and on detecting strategies which may artificially improve the CO2 performance. Because of these requirements, the European Commission is currently working on a Delegated Regulation defining the procedures for verifying the CO2 emissions of vehicles in-service. Detailed technical provisions (e.g. test procedures, statistical evaluations, tolerances, pass/fail criteria, etc.) for the in-service verification procedures will be further defined by an Implementing Regulation.
The European Green Deal, adopted by the European Commission in December 2019, has at its core combating climate change and reaching the objectives of the Paris Agreement and other environmental goals (including addressing air pollution). One of its central elements is the 2050 climate neutrality objective. The European Commission enshrined the 2050 climate neutrality objective into EU law entered into force in July 2021. In order to set the EU on a sustainable path to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, the European Commission has also presented a net EU-wide, economy-wide plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 percent by 2030, compared to 1990 levels.
Building on the existing legislation and the EU’s 2030 climate ambitions, the European Commission also published the “Fit for 55” Package on July, 14, 2021, which includes a proposed amendment to the regulation EU 2019/631. In particular, the European Commission’s proposal would remove by 2030 the provision granting a derogation from the specific emissions targets to manufacturers responsible for between 1,000 and 10,000 new passenger cars in a calendar year. Moreover, the proposal would increase the 2030 CO2 emissions target from a 37.5% to a 55% reduction compared to 2021 and introduce a 2035 target whereby CO2 emissions from new cars and vans would have to be 100% lower compared to 2021.
54


Similarly to the EU, Switzerland introduced CO2 emission regulations for new cars in July 2012. Despite the existence of some specificities within the Swiss regulation, derogations aligned with EU regulation have been granted to SVMs up to and including 2021. Switzerland has historically adopted the targets approved by the European Commission. On November 24, 2021, the Swiss Federal Council amended the CO2 emission regulations for cars and vans. This regulation was repealed starting from January 1, 2022 and the vehicles of niche and small volume manufacturers will have to meet the same CO2 emission targets as the large volume manufacturers. This change in legislation is expected to result in additional costs for Ferrari, either through penalties or the purchase of emissions credits from other manufacturers. Ferrari does not expect such additional costs to be material.
    In the United States, both Corporate Average Fuel Economy (“CAFE”) standards and greenhouse gas emissions (“GHG”) standards are imposed on manufacturers of passenger cars. Because the control of fuel economy is closely correlated with the control of GHG emissions, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) have sought to harmonize fuel economy regulations with the regulation of GHG vehicle emissions (primarily CO2). These agencies have set the federal standards for passenger cars and light trucks to meet an estimated combined average fuel economy (CAFE) level that is equivalent to 35.5 miles per U.S. gallon for 2016 model year vehicles (250 grams CO2 per mile). In August 2012, these agencies extended this program to cars and light trucks for model years 2017 through 2025, targeting an estimated combined average emissions level of 163 grams per mile in 2025, which is equivalent to 54.5 miles per gallon.
    On September 27, 2019 the EPA and the NHTSA issued the “Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule Part One: One National Program” (SAFE I Rule). These rules would exert federal preemption authority under the CAFE statute over California’s ability to regulate greenhouse gases and would revoke the current EPA waiver under the Clean Air Act which had authorized California to regulate GHG from motor vehicles. The state of California along with other states and certain NGOs filed challenges to these rules in both US District Court for the District of Columbia and the United States Court of Appeals D.C. Circuit. In May 2021, the NHTSA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing to fully repeal the SAFE I Rule.
On March, 31, 2020 the EPA and the NHTSA issued the final SAFE Vehicles Rule (Part Two) setting CAFE and carbon dioxide emissions standards for model years 2021-2026 passenger cars and light trucks. Under the SAFE Vehicles Rule (Part Two), the overall stringency of the federal standards is significantly reduced from the levels previously set as the final rule will increase stringency of CAFE and CO2 emissions standards by 1.5 percent each year through model year 2026, as compared with the standards issued in 2012, which would have required annual increases of approximately 5 percent. In August 2021, the EPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing to strengthen federal GHG emissions standards for passenger cars and light trucks by setting stringent requirements for reductions from for model years 2021-2026. Consistently with the EPA’s approach, in September 2021 the NHTSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing revised fuel economy standards for passenger cars and light trucks for model years 2024-2026.
Under current regulation, for model years 2017-2026, the EPA allows a SVM, defined as an operationally independent manufacturer with less than 5,000 yearly unit sales in the United States, to petition for a less stringent standard. The EPA has granted us SVM status. We therefore petitioned the EPA for alternative standards for the model years 2017-2021 and 2022-2025, which are aligned to our technical and economic capabilities. On July 31, 2019 the EPA published a Notice in the U.S. Federal Register (Federal Register /Vol. 84, No. 147) that in part proposed that Ferrari be permitted an alternative standard substantially in line with the alternative standard that Ferrari proposed to the EPA for model years 2017-2021. The EPA approved Ferrari proposed standards for model years 2017-2020, whereas it required a small reduction for the model year 2021 standard. On June 25, 2020, the EPA Administrator signed the final determination for alternative GHG standards for SVMs for model years 2017 through 2021.
    In September 2016, we petitioned the NHTSA for recognition as an independent manufacturer of less than 10,000 vehicles produced globally, and we proposed alternative CAFE standards, for model years 2017, 2018 and 2019. Then, in December, 2017, we amended the petition by proposing alternative CAFE standards for model years 2016, 2017 and 2018 instead, covering also the 2016 model year. In 2019, our global production exceeded 10,000 vehicles, and therefore we are not considered a SVM by the NHTSA for model year 2019. We previously purchased the CAFE credits needed to fulfill this deficit. On July 15, 2020, we submitted to the NHTSA a petition for an exemption from the CAFE standards for the model year 2020. We proceeded with this submission because, although Ferrari originally intended to produce more than 10,000 vehicles in 2020, actual production was lower than 10,000 vehicles as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related shutdown of our production facilities. Therefore since we met the NHTSA definition of a SVM, we have requested an alternative fleet average GHG standards for model year 2020 standard. The NHTSA has confirmed that it will not send a
55


shortfall letter to Ferrari requiring payment of CAFE civil penalties or the application of CAFE credits with regards to model year 2020 until the NHTSA has ruled on Ferrari’s petitions for an alternative standard. We purchased the CAFE credits needed to fulfill our model year 2021 deficit and we are planning to continue with this approach for subsequent model years.
    The state of California has been granted special authority under the Clean Air Act to set its own vehicle emission standards. In February 2010, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) enacted regulations under which manufacturers of vehicles for model years 2012-2016 which are in compliance with the EPA greenhouse gas emissions regulations are also deemed to be in compliance with California’s greenhouse gas emission regulations (the so-called “deemed to comply” provision). In November 2012, the CARB extended these rules to include model years 2017-2025. In 2017 CARB performed a technical assessment regarding greenhouse gas standards for model years 2022 through 2025, in parallel with the EPA and the NHTSA, and confirmed in March 2017 that the standards defined in 2012 may be still considered appropriate. On December 12, 2018 the CARB amended its existing regulations to clarify that the “deemed to comply” provision would not be available for model years 2021-2025 if the EPA standards for those years were altered via an amendment of federal regulations. On September 19, 2019, the NHTSA and the EPA established the “One National Program” for fuel economy regulation, taking the first step towards finalizing the agencies’ August 2018 proposal by announcing the EPA’s decision to withdraw California’s waiver of preemption under the Clean Air Act, and by affirming the NHTSA’s authority to set nationally applicable regulatory standards under the preemption provisions of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). The two agencies indicated that they anticipate issuing a final rule on standards in the near future. Ferrari currently avails itself of the “deemed-to-comply” provision to comply with CARB greenhouse gas emissions regulations. Therefore, depending on future developments, it may be necessary to also petition the CARB for SVM alternative standards and to increase the number of tests to be performed in order to follow the CARB specific procedures.

    While Europe and the United States lead the implementation of these fuel consumption/CO2 emissions programs, other jurisdictions typically follow on with adoption of similar regulations within a few years thereafter. In China, for example, Stage IV targeted a national average fuel consumption of 5.0L/100km by 2020. In September 2017, the Chinese government issued the Administrative Measures on CAFC (Corporate Average Fuel Consumption) and NEV (New Energy Vehicle) Credits. This regulation establishes mandatory CAFC requirements, while providing additional flexibility for SVMs (defined as a manufacturer with less than 2,000 units imported in China per year that achieve a certain minimum CAFC yearly improvement rate). Manufactures that exceed the CAFC regulatory ceiling are required to purchase NEV credits.
The Stage V regulation, issued on December 31, 2019, sets the fuel consumption fleet average targets for the period 2021-2025, targeting a national average fuel consumption of 4.0 l/100km by 2025. Following the adoption of the Stage V fuel consumption regulation, an update to the Administrative Measures on CAFC and NEV credits was published in June 2020, keeping the additional flexibility for SVMs and relaxing the minimum CAFC yearly improvement rate required. In addition to the fuel consumption target on the entire fleet, the Chinese regulation GB 19578-2021 sets specific fuel consumption limits on model types. Currently, this standard is only applicable to domestic cars, as it is not adopted by the China Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA). In the current Ferrari portfolio, only the plug-in hybrid models would be compliant with this regulation. Following the same approach also with respect to pure electric vehicles, during 2021 the relevant Chinese authorities have published a notice to call for participation in a working group that should define the energy consumption limit standards for electric vehicles.
In the future, driving bans on combustion engine vehicles could be imposed, particularly in metropolitan areas, promoting progress in electric and hybrid technology. On September 23, 2020, the Governor of California issued an executive order requiring that all in-state sales of new passenger vehicles be zero-emission by 2035. CARB is developing regulations among the Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) regulatory package to implement such executive order. The ACC II regulations will seek to increase the number of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) for sale and reduce criteria and greenhouse gas emissions from new light- and medium-duty vehicles beyond the 2025 model year. During 2021, the state of Washington introduced legislation that could phase out sales of non-ZEVs. The Washington State House bill 1204 titled “Clean Cars 2030” provides that all privately and publicly owned passenger and light duty vehicles of model year 2030 or later registered in Washington state must be electric vehicles and the state’s transportation commission will now work on a scoping plan for achieving the 2030 requirement, anticipating the California target by five years. In November 2020, the UK Prime Minister, the Transport Secretary and the Business Secretary announced, in the context of the 10-Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, the end of the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in the United Kingdom by 2030. On July 14, 2021 the UK Government published the Green Paper on a New Road Vehicle CO2 Emissions Regulatory Framework for the United Kingdom. The commitment is to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Following Brexit, the UK Government is autonomous in defining the legal framework to deliver the internal combustion engine vehicles phase out dates announced
56


and is expected to publish a proposal in 2022. This will put the United Kingdom on course to be the first G7 country to decarbonize cars and vans.
Exhaust and evaporative emissions requirements
    In 2007, the European Union adopted a series of updated standards for emissions of other air pollutants from passenger and light commercial vehicles, such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulates. These standards were phased in from September 2009 (Euro 5) and September 2014 (Euro 6) for passenger cars. In 2016, the European Union established that Euro 6 limits shall be evaluated through Real Driving Emissions (RDE) measurement procedure and a new test-cycle more representative of normal conditions of use (Worldwide Light Vehicles Test Procedure). SVMs (vehicle manufacturers with a worldwide annual production lower than 10,000 units in the year prior to the grant of the type-approval) are required to be compliant with RDE standards starting from 2020 while non-SVMs have been required to comply with RDE standards starting from 2017. We believe all new Ferrari models are fully compliant with RDE requirements. In 2018, the European Commission issued Regulation 2018/1832 for the purpose of improving the emission type approval tests and procedures for light passenger and commercial vehicles, including those for in-service conformity and RDE and introducing devices for monitoring the consumption of fuel and electric energy. Under the EU Regulation, which became applicable in January 2019, among other things, the extended documentation package provided by manufacturers to type approval authorities to describe Auxiliary Emission Strategies (AES) is no longer required to be kept confidential, and the decision whether to allow access to such documentation package is left to national authorities. In addition, the Regulation introduced a new methodology for checking In-Service Conformity (ISC) which includes RDE tests. Compliance is tested based on ISC checks performed by the manufacturer, the granting type approval authority (GTAA), and accredited laboratories or technical services. Test results will be publicly available; in addition, the GTAA will publish annual reports on the ISC checks performed, in order to improve transparency. The European Commission is currently working on another amendment to the WLTP and RDE test procedures primarily to align them with the corresponding UNECE Regulations. However, other EU-specific requirements are also anticipated.
    On December 13, 2018, the General Court of the European Union issued a ruling on the action started in mid-2016 by the cities of Madrid, Brussels and Paris on the legality of the Commission introducing in the second RDE Regulation (2016/646) RDE conformity factors (CF) which had the effect of increasing the emission limits. This led to the appeal proceedings during 2019 against the General Court’s judgment that annulled the conformity factors in the RDE legislation. The appeal is currently pending.
    During 2019, the European Commission announced that it will propose more stringent air pollutant emissions standards for combustion-engine vehicles and indicated 2021 as a target timeline. The European Commission created an Advisory Group on Vehicle Emission Standards (AGVES), by joining all the relevant expert groups working on emission legislation, in order to provide technical advice for the development of the post-EURO 6/VI emission standards for motor vehicles. In March 2020, the European Commission launched a public consultation on its roadmap outlining the policy options that it could pursue in revising the emission standards for light and heavy duty vehicles (Euro 7). This initiative is part of the European Green Deal, advocating the European automotive industry’s role as a leader in the global transition to zero-emission vehicles. More stringent air pollutant emissions standards for combustion engine vehicles are expected to be set by early 2022. Depending on the future regulatory developments, the technological solutions required to ensure compliance with Euro 7 standards may affect customers’ expectations on performance, sound and driving experience. The European Commission is also expected to assess and evaluate the current noise emissions limits, with the risk of more stringent thresholds.
    In the United States, the “Tier 3” Motor Vehicle Emission and Fuel Standards issued by the EPA were finalized in April 2014. With Tier 3, the EPA has established more stringent vehicle emission standards, requiring significant reductions in both tailpipe and evaporative emissions, including nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide and particulate matter. The new standards are intended to harmonize with California’s standards for 2015-2025 model years (so called “LEV3”) and will be implemented over the same timeframe as the U.S. federal CAFE and GHG standards for cars and light trucks described above. Because of our status as an operationally independent SVM, Ferrari obtained a longer, more flexible schedule for compliance with these standards under both the EPA and California Program.
    In addition, California is moving forward with other stringent emission regulations for vehicles, including the Zero Emission Vehicle regulation (ZEV). The ZEV regulation requires manufacturers to increase their sales of zero emissions vehicles year on year, up to an industry average of approximately 15 percent of vehicles sold in the state by 2025. Because we currently sell fewer than 4,500 units in California, we are exempt from these requirements.
57


    Additional stringency of evaporative emissions also requires more advanced materials and technical solutions to eliminate fuel evaporative losses, all for much longer warranty periods (up to 150,000 miles in the United States).
As already mentioned, the California Air Resources Board is working on the development of the ACC II regulations and in December 2021 presented proposals to amend the Low Emission Vehicle (or LEV) Regulation to reduce both tailpipe and evaporative emissions.
    In response to severe air quality issues in Beijing and other major Chinese cities, in 2016 the Chinese government published a more stringent emissions program (National 6), providing two different levels of stringency (6a and 6b) effective starting from 2020. In July 2018 China’s central government launched a three-year plan to reduce air pollution, extending targets for reducing lung-damaging airborne particulate pollution to the country’s 338 largest cities. This plan includes reductions in steel and other industrial capacity, reducing reliance on coal, promoting electric vehicles and cleaner transport, enhancing air-pollution warning systems, and increasing inspections of businesses for air pollution infractions. Several autonomous regions and municipalities have implemented the requirements of the National 6 program even ahead of the mandated deadlines.
During 2020, the Chinese Vehicle Emission Control Center (VECC) launched the “Pre-study on Next Stage Emission Standards for Light duty Vehicles”, an ongoing research project expected to be finalized in a more stringent emission program in the next years.
Several others regulations are also emerging to take into account the non-exhaust emissions and the environmental impact of electric and hybrid vehicles components. Brake particulate emissions from passenger cars are currently not regulated by any UNECE or regional Regulations. However, the representatives of some contracting parties (e.g. the European Union, UK and Japan) are asking for the authorization to develop a new UN Global Technical Regulation (UN GTR) on the topic of brake particulate emissions of light duty vehicle’s brake systems. The Informal Working Group on Electric Vehicles and Environment of the United Nations proposed during 2021 a Global Technical Regulation on in-vehicle battery durability. This regulation is applicable to both pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles and establishes provisions regarding state-of-health monitors, minimum performance requirements and in-service conformity checks. A UN GTR is not binding for certification purposes. However, it could be transposed into a UN Regulation or a regional regulation required for the certification. The European Commission has expressed the will to include these GTR requirements in Euro 7 regulation. Moreover, the European Commission published, in December 2020, a proposal for a new regulation on batteries and waste batteries. This proposal will apply to all kind of batteries, including automotive and electric vehicle batteries, and establishes requirements on sustainability, labelling, information and end-of-life. This regulation is currently under discussion.

    To comply with current and future environmental rules, we may have to incur substantial capital expenditure and research and development expenditure to upgrade products and manufacturing facilities, which would have an impact on our cost of production and results of operation.
Vehicle safety
    Vehicles sold in Europe are subject to vehicle safety regulations established by the EU or by individual member states. In 2009, the EU established a simplified framework for vehicle safety, repealing more than 50 directives and replacing them with a single regulation (the “General Safety Regulation”) aimed at incorporating relevant United Nations standards. This incorporation process began in 2012. With respect to regulations on advanced safety systems, the EU now requires new model cars from 2011 onwards to have electronic stability control systems and tire pressure monitoring systems. Regulations on low-rolling resistance tires have also been introduced. The framework is reviewed periodically, and a revised version of the General Safety Regulation is currently under discussion. In May 2018, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a regulation to make certain vehicle safety measures mandatory. On March 25, 2019, the European Parliament, Council and Commission reached a provisional political agreement on the revised General Safety Regulation. As of 2022, new safety technologies will become mandatory in European vehicles, such as Advanced Emergency Braking, Emergency Lane Keeping systems, crash-test improved safety belts, intelligent speed assistance and warning of driver drowsiness or distraction. In 2017, the EU published technical requirements for the Emergency Call (eCall) system, mandatory for new model cars starting from 2018. Starting from July 1, 2019, new types of pure electric vehicle and new types of hybrid electric vehicle capable of operating without propulsion from a combustion engine operating are required to be equipped with an Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS), and from July 1, 2021 for all new vehicles of such types, in order to alert pedestrians that a vehicle is moving at low speeds. Starting from 2022, European authorities and United Nation’s contracting parties will enforce regulations on cyber security and over the air updates. Starting from 2024, European authorities and United Nation’s
58


contracting parties will enforce amendments for the existing regulation on pedestrian protection, modifying the current test procedures and enhancing the measurement methods on extended vehicle areas such as the windscreen. In 2020 the European Commission issued its new digital strategy policies, which represent a priority in its regulatory agenda. During 2021, several draft proposals were issued in this respect, including in relation to Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI), Connected and Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS), Artificial Intelligence (AI). During 2022 more legislative acts are forecasted, including regarding access to vehicle data and automated driving).
    Under U.S. federal law, all vehicles sold in the United States must comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (“FMVSS”) promulgated by the NHTSA. Manufacturers need to provide certification that all vehicles are in compliance with those standards. In addition, if a vehicle contains a defect that is related to motor vehicle safety or does not comply with an applicable FMVSS, the manufacturer must notify vehicle owners and provide a remedy at no cost to the owner. Moreover, the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation Act (“TREAD”) requires manufacturers to report certain information related to claims and lawsuits involving fatalities and injuries in the United States if alleged to be caused by their vehicles, and other information related to client complaints, warranty claims, and field reports in the United States, as well as information about fatalities and recalls outside the United States. Several new or amended FMVSSs have taken or will take effect during the next few years in certain instances under phase-in schedules that require only a portion of a manufacturer’s fleet to comply in the early years of the phase-in. These include an amendment to the side impact protection requirements that added several new tests and performance requirements (FMVSS No. 214), an amendment to roof crush resistance requirements (FMVSS No. 216), and a rule for ejection mitigation requirements (FMVSS No. 226). U.S. federal law also sets forth minimum sound requirements for hybrid and electric vehicles (FMVSS No. 141).
    On May 4, 2016, the NHTSA published a Consent Order Amendment to the November 3, 2015 Takata Consent Order regarding a defect which may arise in the non-desiccated Takata passenger airbag inflators manufactured using phase stabilized ammonium nitrate and mounted on certain vehicles, including Ferrari cars. As a result of this order and subsequent orders by the NHTSA relating to the non-desiccated Takata passenger airbag inflators, in 2016 Ferrari initiated a global recall campaign to include all Ferrari cars produced in all model years mounting such airbag inflators. The global recall campaign was implemented based on priority groups and the timeline set by the NHTSA. Ferrari recognized provisions of €37 million in 2016 for the estimated costs of the worldwide global Takata recall due to uncertainty of recoverability of the costs from Takata. At December 31, 2021 the provision amounted to approximately €3 million, reflecting the current best estimate for future costs related to the entire recall campaign to be carried out by the Group.
In 2017, the Chinese authorities published an updated version of the current local general safety standard which allows China to become the driver market for the Event Data Recorder mandatory installation starting from 2021. Technical requirements were defined in mid-2019, through the formal adoption of the local standard. Among the United Nations contracting parties, China has been the first country to propose an early adoption of updated test procedures on high-voltage batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles, which has been enforced starting in 2020. During 2021, the Chinese authorities worked on several rulemaking initiatives related to active safety (e.g. ADAS, eCall), vehicle digitalization, cyber security and software updates which are not yet mandatory for certification purposes and contribute to the regulatory uncertainty in this market.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE GROUP
    The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the information included under Item 4. Information on the Company and the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document. This discussion includes forward-looking statements, and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described under Forward-Looking Statements and Item 3.D. Risk Factors”. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Overview
    Ferrari is among the world’s leading luxury brands, focused on the design, engineering, production and sale of the world’s most recognizable luxury performance sports cars. Our brand symbolizes exclusivity, innovation, state-of-the-art sporting performance and Italian design and engineering heritage. Our name and history and the image enjoyed by our cars are closely associated with our Formula 1 racing team, Scuderia Ferrari, the most successful racing team in the history of Formula 1. From the inaugural year of Formula 1 in 1950 through the present, Scuderia Ferrari has won 238 Grand Prix races, 16 Constructors’ World titles and 15 Drivers’ World titles. We are the only team which has taken part in all the editions of the Championship, racing in more than 1,000 Formula 1 Grand Prix races. We believe our history of excellence, technological innovation and defining style transcends the automotive industry, and is the foundation of the Ferrari brand and image. We design, engineer and produce our cars in Maranello, Italy, and sell them in over 60 markets worldwide through a network of 172 authorized dealers operating 191 points of sale as of the end of 2021.
We believe our cars are the epitome of performance, luxury and styling. Our product offering comprises four main pillars: the sports range, the GT range, special series and Icona, a line of modern cars inspired by our iconic cars of the past. Our current product range (including cars presented in 2021, for which shipments will commence in future years) is comprised of six sports cars (the 812 GTS, the Ferrari F8 Tributo, the Ferrari F8 Spider, the 296 GTB, the SF90 Stradale and the SF90 Spider), two GT cars (the Ferrari Roma and the Ferrari Portofino M), two special series cars (the 812 Competizione and the 812 Competizione A), two versions of our first Icona model, the Ferrari Monza SP1 and the Ferrari Monza SP2, as well as the recently presented new model in the Icona range, the Ferrari Daytona SP3.
In 2021 we completed the shipments of the 812 Superfast, while the shipments of the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 will be completed in the first quarter of 2022. We also produce limited edition hypercars and one-off cars. Our most recent hypercar, the LaFerrari Aperta, was launched in 2016 to celebrate our 70th Anniversary and finished its limited series run in 2018. In 2021, we launched 4 new models, including the 296 GTB, a new PHEV featuring a new V6 engine, the limited series V12 812 Competizione and 812 Competizione A, and the new Icona series model, the Ferrari Daytona SP3, and we have launched 13 models in accordance with our plan to launch 15 new models by 2022 as announced at our 2018 Capital Markets Day.
In 2021, we shipped 11,155 cars and recorded net revenues of €4,271 million, EBIT of €1,075 million, net profit of €833 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of €1,531 million. For additional information regarding EBITDA, including a reconciliation of EBITDA to net profit, as well as other non-GAAP financial measures we present, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.
Whilst broadening our product portfolio to target a larger customer base, we continue to pursue a low volume production strategy in order to maintain a reputation for exclusivity and scarcity among purchasers of our cars and we carefully manage our production volumes and delivery waiting lists to promote this reputation. We divide our regional markets into (i) EMEA, (ii) Americas, (iii) Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and (iv) Rest of APAC, which represented respectively 49.2 percent, 25.4 percent, 8.1 percent and 17.3 percent of units shipped in 2021. The geographical distribution of shipments reflects deliberate allocations driven by the phase-in pace of individual models.
We focus our marketing and promotion efforts in the investments we make in our racing activities and in particular, Scuderia Ferrari’s participation in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship, which is the pinnacle of motorsport and is one of the most watched annual sports series in the world, with approximately 445 million unique viewers in 2021 and an average total audience for a Grand Prix weekend of 70.3 million. (Source: Formula 1 Press Office). Although our most recent
62


Formula 1 world title was in 2008, we continuously enhance our focus on Formula 1 activities with the goal of improving racing results and restoring our historical position as the premier racing team in Formula 1. We believe that these activities support the strength and awareness of our brand among motor enthusiasts, clients and the general public.
As one of the world’s most recognized premium luxury brands, we operate in carefully selected luxury and lifestyle categories consistent with our image. We launched our first fashion collection on June 13, 2021 in Maranello, drawing inspiration from our marque’s style, innovation and performance. We also license the Ferrari brand to a limited number of producers and retailers of luxury and lifestyle sectors, including theme parks that, we believe, enhance the brand experience of our loyal clients and Ferrari enthusiasts. The world of Ferrari can also be experienced in our Ferrari Museum in Maranello and in the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena.
Our international network of Ferrari Stores consists of 16 Ferrari owned store and 14 franchised stores (including 12 Ferrari Store Junior) where visitors can find our fashion collection as well as on our website. In 2021 we began giving a fresh new look to the stores, starting with our stores in Maranello, Milan, Rome and Los Angeles.

On June 15, 2021 we reopened and revitalized our Ristorante Cavallino, which is situated opposite to the entrance of our Maranello factory, while retaining the heritage of this historic location.

We continue in our unwavering pursuit of reaching carbon neutrality by 2030, addressing – in addition to our electrification journey – both direct and indirect emissions with a focus on energy and materials. As a further step forward in this process, in 2021 we calculated our carbon footprint considering the emissions related to all of our activities over our entire value chain. Our calculation, based on greenhouse gas protocol methodology, has been certified according to ISO 14064-1:2018 requirements by a third-party and allowed us to determine priority areas for action.

We will continue focusing our efforts on protecting and enhancing the value of our brand to preserve our strong financial profile and participate in the growth of the premium luxury market. We intend to pursue controlled and profitable growth in existing and emerging markets while expanding the Ferrari brand to carefully selected lifestyle categories.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update
The global spread of the COVID-19 virus (“COVID-19”), which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, has led to governments around the world mandating various restrictive measures to contain the pandemic, including social distancing, quarantine, “shelter in place” or similar orders, travel restrictions and suspension of non-essential business activities. To date, several of these measures are still in place or were reintroduced at various points in time as a result of further “waves” of the pandemic, although the scope and timing of restrictive measures have varied greatly across jurisdictions.
As the virus spread and the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic became apparent, Ferrari’s leadership took actions to protect and support its employees and communities, mitigate the impacts on the Group’s financial performance and strengthen the Group’s liquidity and financial position.

The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group’s operations and the main actions taken by Ferrari in response to the pandemic since its inception are summarized below:

With the safety and well-being of Ferrari employees in mind and considering government restrictions implemented to combat the spread of the virus, production and deliveries to the distribution network were temporarily suspended from the end of March until the beginning of May 2020. Although certain restrictions have remained in place in some of the countries where Ferrari operates, since May 2020 substantially all Ferrari dealerships remained operational and order collections continued as usual. The Group remains focused on maintaining a robust order book going forward and on the careful management of our waiting lists in line with our strategy of controlled growth and preservation of brand exclusivity.
To protect the health and well-being of its workforce and customers as Ferrari returned to regular business operations, we successfully implemented our “Back on Track” program, which facilitated our return to full production by May 8, 2020 through the implementation of various safety measures to combat and contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus in the workplace.
Following various initiatives implemented by Ferrari since the start of the pandemic to support local communities, the Group continues to provide logistical support as well as facilities at its Fiorano race track for the vaccination
63


campaign, where more than 230 thousand vaccine doses have been administered to date by the local medical authority. This is in addition to the more than 115 thousand serological tests, rapid swabs tests and flu vaccinations provided at the Fiorano race track since the start of the pandemic. With the commencement of the national COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Italy, in mid-June 2021 Ferrari launched its own vaccination plan, dedicated to its employees, their families and all the resident consultants and suppliers; planned alongside local Health Authorities. The campaign resulted in a high number of vaccinations and is now completed. Ferrari also organized an additional extraordinary COVID-19 vaccination campaign for employees, resident consultants and suppliers at our screening center, with first doses administered on October 1, 2021 and second doses on October 29, 2021. Ferrari also implemented a flu vaccination campaign in November 2021 and more recently a campaign for the booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Although production and certain other activities, including Formula 1, our stores and our museums, were temporarily suspended near the end of March 2020, the Group continued many other key business activities and functions through remote working arrangements, and up to the date of this document it continues to take measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 at its facilities while guaranteeing the possibility of remote work for those employees whose job activity is compatible with such work arrangements.
In order to prudently manage potential liquidity or refinancing risks in the foreseeable future, the Group focused on increasing and preserving its available liquidity and took actions to contain costs and capital expenditures in 2020, while ensuring that all projects that are considered important for the continuing success of Ferrari and its future development are maintained.
The Group decided to temporarily suspend its share repurchase program from the end of March 2020 to the beginning of March 2021, when the program was restarted.
The start of the 2020 Formula 1 World Championship season was postponed from March to July 2020 and it ultimately consisted of 17 Grand Prix events, five fewer than those originally scheduled. Additionally, most of the races were held without public attendance, including Paddock Club and paddock guests. These circumstances adversely impacted our financial results in 2020 due to a reduction of sponsorships and consequent reduced commercial revenues from partners and the holder of Formula 1’s commercial rights (Formula One Management). Although the 2021 season remained affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including changes in venues and several races being held with a reduced number of spectators, the season ultimately consisted of a record number of 22 Grand Prix races.
Brand activities were also adversely impacted as a result of the temporary closure of Ferrari stores and museums in the first quarter of 2020, which gradually reopened starting from May 2020 with appropriate safety measures in place to protect our staff and customers. To date, in-store traffic has not yet recovered to pre-pandemic levels and museums continue to be subject to certain restrictions as a result of local regulations, although overall brand activities have increased in 2021 compared to 2020.
There have been no significant effects on the valuation of assets or liabilities and no increases in allowances for credit losses as a result of COVID-19. Moreover, no material impairment indicators have been identified and there have been no changes in accounting judgments or other significant accounting impacts relating to COVID-19.
No significant changes occurred in controls that materially affect internal control over financial reporting.

Ferrari’s leadership is continuously monitoring the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic as new information becomes available as well as the related effects on the results of operations and financial position of the Group. Ferrari has been gradually recovering from the effects of the COVID-19-related suspension of production and other business activities that occurred primarily in 2020. The effects of the pandemic on Ferrari in 2021 were limited and, building on the otherwise strong performance in a year in which the Group exceeded its guidance on all metrics, management looks to seize the opportunities ahead and share its future plans on June 16, 2022 in Maranello at the Capital Markets Day.

The future impacts of COVID-19 on Ferrari’s results of operations and financial condition will depend on ongoing developments in relation to the pandemic, including the success of the gradual release of containment measures and vaccination programs worldwide, as well as the overall condition and outlook of the global economy. See also “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—We are subject to risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic or similar public health crises that may materially and adversely affect our business”.
Trends, Uncertainties and Opportunities
Shipments Our net revenues and results of operations depend on, among other things, the achievement of shipment targets established in our budgets and business plans, which we define in line with our low volume strategy to pursue controlled growth and preserve brand exclusivity. As part of this strategy, we seek to manage waiting lists in the
64


various markets in which we operate in order to respond optimally to relative levels of demand, based on our order books, while being sensitive to local client expectations in those markets. In certain markets, we believe that waiting lists have promoted the sense of exclusivity of our products and, accordingly, we monitor and manage waiting lists to maintain this exclusivity while ensuring that we do not jeopardize client satisfaction.
    In order to maintain our brand’s reputation of exclusivity among purchasers of our cars, we have continued our low volume strategy while responding to growing demand and to demographic changes as the size and spending capacity of our target clients has grown, gradually increasing annual shipments from 10,131 in 2019 to 11,155 in 2021, despite a decrease to 9,119 in 2020 driven by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in average annual shipments of 10,135 over the three year period from 2019 to 2021. Our plans reflects a continuation of this strategy and a measured but significant increase in shipments above current levels as we broaden our product portfolio to target a potentially larger customer base, while preserving and enhancing the exclusivity and value of our brand.

We target our products to the upper end of the luxury car segment and buyers of our cars tend to belong to the wealthiest segment of the population. As the size and spending capacity of our target client base has grown significantly in recent years, our addressable market and the sense of exclusivity fostered by our low volume strategy have been further enhanced. Given that our shipment strategy is flexible, we are able to adjust the geographical allocation of our shipments to respond to changes in our key markets. The geographic allocation of our shipments and their mix by product is generally impacted by the phase-in/phase-out pace of individual models, as well as the length of waiting lists and other market-specific factors and conditions, including the potential for future growth. We expect that further growth in shipments will result primarily from our deliberate targeting of new customer groups and modes of use through the expansion of our product range.
Research, Development and Product Lifecycle We engage in research and development activities aimed at improving the design, performance, advanced technology, safety, efficiency and reliability of our cars. The first stage of product development is the research phase. In this phase, we research the specifications of new models that we believe will appeal to our clients and will be commercially viable. Costs we incur for the development of our cars and engines, as well as their related components and systems, are recognized as an asset if, and only if, both of the following conditions under IAS 38 - Intangible Assets are met: (i) development costs can be measured reliably and (ii) the technical feasibility of the product, estimated volumes and expected pricing all support the view that the development expenditure will generate future economic
65


benefits. All other research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs include all direct and indirect costs that may be directly attributed to the development process.
    The level of our capitalized development costs is primarily affected by the timing of updates and renewals to our product range and, more recently, by our decision to integrate newly-introduced powertrain technologies (including hybrid and electric) more broadly into our product portfolio. We continually launch new cars with enhanced technological innovations and design improvements. From 2019 to 2021 we launched 13 new models in accordance with our plan to launch 15 new models by 2022 as announced at our 2018 Capital Markets Day, with the objective of maintaining our product portfolio’s leading position and to respond quickly to market demand and technological breakthroughs. A clear example of this is the integration of hybrid engine technology in several recent models, including the 296 GTB, which we launched in 2021 and features Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) technology and a new V6 engine, as well as the SF90 Stradale and the SF90 Spider, our first series production models to feature PHEV technology, which were launched in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Additionally, some of our past models, such as LaFerrari and the LaFerrari Aperta, also included hybrid technology. Our range models typically have a lifecycle of four to five years, while our special series, Icona and limited edition hypercars typically have shorter lifecycles. A portion of our research and development efforts are related to the development of the various components used in our models, and in particular, hybrid, electric, electronic and mechanical components. The new and advanced technological content integrated into our new models is in part driven by the output from the research and development efforts for vehicle components. Our continued focus on component development has the objective of improving performance and reducing the costs to develop new models. Capitalized development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis from the start of production over the estimated lifecycle of the model or the useful life of the related assets or components, which is generally between four and eight years.
We also incur research and development costs in connection with Formula 1 racing activities, including initiatives to maximize the performance, efficiency and safety of our racing cars. While we develop these technologies for initial use in our Formula 1 racing cars, we seek to transfer these technologies and components, where appropriate, to models in our current and future product range. Technological developments and changes in the regulations of the Formula 1 World Championship generally lead us to design, develop and construct a new racing car to be used for one year only and the costs incurred for the design, development and construction of a new racing car are generally expensed as incurred and classified as research and development costs in the income statement, unless the technology is expected to be used for more than one year and the costs meet the capitalization criteria in IAS 38. Research and development costs for Formula 1 activities can vary from year to year and may be difficult to predict because they are subject to, among other things, changes in racing regulations and the need to respond to our car’s performance relative to other racing teams. Research and development costs are recognized net of technology-related government incentives.
Under the recently effective Formula 1 financial regulations, a budget cap has been introduced to limit the amount of certain types of costs (primarily relating to the development and manufacturing of the racing car chassis) that may be incurred by the teams participating in the Formula 1 World Championship to a maximum of $147 million for the recently completed 2021 season and to a maximum of $142 million for the upcoming 2022 season, to be further reduced to $137 million for the 2023 season (assuming 23 Grand Prix races in both the 2022 and 2023 seasons).
As a result of our strategy to update and broaden our product range and significantly increase our efforts relating to hybrid, electric and other advanced technologies, our overall research and development expenditure increased during the period from 2019 to 2021. In particular, we made significant investments in product development in relation to both our current product portfolio and models to be launched in future years, as well components. Notwithstanding actions taken in 2020 to contain costs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued to invest significantly in research and development projects that are considered important for the continuing success of Ferrari and its future development.

    Car Profitability The relative profitability of the cars we sell tends to vary depending on a number of factors, including exclusivity of the offering, technological advancement and content of the car, engine size and performance, level of personalization and the geographic market in which it is sold. For example, our Icona models, which include the Ferrari Daytona SP3 presented in November 2021 and the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 (our first Icona models, whose shipments commenced in 2019), as well as our limited edition hypercars (the latest of which was the LaFerrari Aperta which concluded shipments in 2018) have sales prices that are much higher than other models in the Ferrari product range in light of their exclusivity, as well as the advanced technology and design integrated in these models. In general, more exclusive offerings generate higher net revenues and provide better margins than those generated on shipments of range models and special series cars, and therefore they benefit our results in the periods in which they are sold. We plan to launch our Icona models more frequently compared to our limited edition hypercars, and we expect this to reduce the volatility in financial performance that we have at times experienced historically due to the cadence of our limited edition hypercars.
    We seek to increase the average price point of our range and special series models over time by continually improving performance, technology and other features, as well as by leveraging the exclusivity of certain model offerings and the scarcity value resulting from our low volume strategy. In particular, in recent years we have been increasing the price of selected models in certain markets and introduced new models with higher average selling prices compared to the corresponding predecessor models. Furthermore, as we continue to integrate advanced technologies more broadly into our car portfolio, we expect that our average price point will continue to increase reflecting the superior technological content of our new models.
    Additionally, the interior and exterior technology and content of the cars we sell can be customized through our personalization offerings, which can be further enhanced through additional bespoke specifications. Incremental revenues from personalization are a particularly favorable factor of our pricing and product mix, due to the fact that we generate incremental margin on each additional option selected by our clients.
    Cost of Sales Cost of sales comprises expenses incurred in the manufacturing and distribution of cars and parts, including engines sold to Maserati and engines rented to other Formula 1 racing teams. The cost of materials, components and labor are the most significant elements of our cost of sales, while the remaining costs primarily include depreciation, insurance and transportation costs. Cost of sales also includes warranty and product liability-related costs, which are estimated and recorded at the time our cars are shipped. Interest expenses and other financial charges that are directly attributable to our financial services activities, including provisions for risks and write-downs of financial assets, are also reported in cost of sales.
    We purchase a variety of components (including mechanical, electrical, electronic, aluminum, steel and plastic components, as well as castings and tires), raw materials (the most significant of which is aluminum) and supplies, and we incur costs for utilities, logistics and other services from numerous suppliers in the manufacture of our cars. Fluctuations in the cost of sales are primarily related to the number of cars we produce and sell along with changes in car mix. Newer models generally have more technologically advanced components and enhancements, including hybrid and electric technology, and therefore have higher costs per unit; however we aim to price our cars appropriately to recover these costs. Our Icona models,
67


as well as our limited edition hypercars and one-off cars, also tend to have higher costs per unit, but these higher costs tend to be more than offset by higher sales prices. Cost of sales are also affected by fluctuations of certain raw material prices, although we typically seek to manage these costs and minimize their volatility through the use of long-term fixed price purchase contracts.
    In recent years we have made efforts to achieve technical and commercial efficiencies. In particular, technical efficiencies focus on efforts to produce components using innovative and cost-effective materials, without compromising the quality or performance of the components. In order to achieve these technical efficiencies, we perform in-house research and development activities and we invite our suppliers to present us with innovative technical solutions that they have developed. Commercial efficiencies have been achieved through negotiating discounts and entering into long-term contracts with suppliers, who commit upfront to pass on to us a portion of the efficiencies they achieve in performing our supply contracts. Furthermore, efforts are made to award new business to existing suppliers, where appropriate, in order to negotiate favorable pricing. As cost of sales also includes depreciation of plant and equipment, cost of sales is affected by the number and timing of product launches, which trigger the commencement of depreciation of plant and equipment acquired specifically for the production of certain car models.
As further described in the “Results of Operations” section below, due to the effects of the temporary suspension of production and shipments, as well as the changes to the calendar and format of the 2020 Formula 1 World Championship, which were caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, costs as a percentage of net revenues were higher in 2020 compared to other years. Furthermore, a portion of our costs are fixed in nature and we decided to pay all employees throughout the whole suspension period and not accede to any government aid programs, therefore management actions to reduce costs only partially compensated the decrease in net revenues experienced in 2020 as a result of the pandemic.
    Economic Conditions and Macro EventsSignificant inflationary pressures appeared in 2021 in many of the markets in which we operate and this trend has continued in early 2022. Although there were no material effects on our results of operations in 2021 from the recent rise in inflation in certain goods and services, management is carefully monitoring the inflation outlook, as well as any changes to interest rates, to appropriately address the potential impacts on our operating costs and financial expenses, as well as our new order intake.

Additionally, as a result of the current geopolitical tensions and conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the recent recognition by Russia of the independence of the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, in the Donbas region of Ukraine, the governments of the United States, the European Union, Japan and other jurisdictions have recently announced the imposition of sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia and the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, as well as enhanced export controls on certain products and industries. Despite the fact that Ferrari has limited commercial interests in Russia, Ukraine and the areas of conflict, these and any additional sanctions and export controls, as well as any counterresponses by the governments of Russia or other jurisdictions, could adversely affect, directly or indirectly, our supply chain, with negative implications on availability and prices of raw materials, and our customers, as well as the global financial markets and financial services industry.

Effects of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates We are affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through (i) the translation into Euro upon consolidation of foreign currency financial statements of our subsidiaries with functional currencies other than Euro, which we refer to as the translation impact, and (ii) transactions by entities of the Group in currencies other than their own functional currencies, which we refer to as the transaction impact.
    Translation impacts arise in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements; in particular, we present our consolidated financial statements in Euro, while the functional currency of each of our subsidiaries depends on the primary economic environment of that entity. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we translate into Euro the assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries expressed in local functional currency other than Euro using the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, while we translate income and expenses using the average foreign currency exchange rates for the period presented. Accordingly, fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates of the functional currencies of our subsidiaries against the Euro impacts our results of operations.
    Transaction impacts arise when our Group entities conduct transactions in currencies other than their own functional currency. Therefore, we are also exposed to foreign currency risks in connection with scheduled receipts and payments in multiple currencies. Our costs are primarily denominated in Euro, while the majority of our revenues are generated in currencies other than the Euro, including in U.S. Dollars, Pound Sterling, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan, Swiss Franc and, to a lesser extent, certain other currencies.
68


In general, an appreciation of the U.S. Dollar, and the other currencies in which we operate, against the Euro would positively impact our net revenues and results of operations.
    Our risk management policies contemplate the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk. In particular, we have used derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges for the purpose of hedging the foreign currency exchange rate at which a predetermined proportion of forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies will occur. Accordingly, our results of operations have not been fully exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. See Note 30 “Qualitative and Quantitative Information on Financial Risks” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document for additional information related to our foreign currency exchange rate risk policies.
    Regulation We ship our cars throughout the world and are therefore subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including tariffs. These laws regulate our cars, including their emissions, fuel consumption and safety, as well as our manufacturing facilities. As we are currently a small volume manufacturer in certain jurisdictions, we benefit from certain regulatory exemptions, including less stringent emissions caps. Developing, engineering and producing cars which meet continuously evolving regulatory requirements, and can therefore be sold in the relevant markets, requires a significant effort and expenditure of resources. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Regulatory Matters” for additional information.
    Patent Box Benefit Income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 benefited from the application of the Patent Box tax regime, which provides tax benefits for companies that generate income through the use of intangible assets. Starting in 2020 the Group has applied the Patent Box tax regime for the period from 2020 to 2024 and determined the income eligible for the Patent Box regime with recognition of the Patent Box tax benefit in three equal annual installments.
Italian legislation recently enacted in 2021 will replace the current Patent Box tax regime with a 110% “super tax deduction” for certain costs related to eligible intangible assets and provides for a specific transitional procedure between the two regimes. The new legislation should not have any impact on income taxes of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2021 and management will continue to follow updates in the legislation as they become known.

    For additional information see Note 10 “Income taxes” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document.

    Trademark Step-upIn the fourth quarter of 2020, the Group benefited from the measures introduced in Italy by the art. 110 of the Law Decree n. 104/2020, converted in the Law n.126/2020, enacting “Urgent measures to support and relaunch the economy” which reopened the voluntary step up of tangible and intangible assets, with the application of a substitutive tax rate (3%). In particular, Ferrari S.p.A. benefited from the one-off partial step-up of its trademark for tax purposes, which resulted in the recognition in 2020 of deferred tax assets for €84 million and a substitute tax liability for €9 million, resulting in a net tax benefit of €75 million. There was no cash effect in 2020 from the step-up of the trademark. The deferred tax asset will be utilized over a 50-year period (recently extended from the previous 18 years following the approval of Law 234/2021; see also Note 10 “Income taxes” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document) and the substitute tax will be paid in three equal annual installments starting in 2021.

Management considers this item significant in nature but non-recurring and not reflective of ongoing operational activities, therefore the positive impact of €75 million has been excluded in the calculation of Adjusted Net Profit and Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share for 2020.

    Asset-backed Financing (Securitizations)We pursue a strategy of autonomous financing for our financial services activities in the United States, which involves limiting or reducing dependency on intercompany funding and increasing the portion of self-liquidating debt with various securitization transactions. At December 31, 2021 and 2020 our funding under securitization programs amounted to €900 million and €761 million, respectively.    
    For additional information see Note 24 “Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document.
    Maserati Engine Volumes We have been producing engines for Maserati since 2003. The V8 engines that we historically produced and continue to produce for Maserati are variants of Ferrari families of engines and are mounted on Maserati’s highest performing models. We also produce a V6 family of engines exclusively for Maserati. We currently have a multi-year arrangement with Maserati to provide V6 engines up to 2023. Net revenues generated from sales of engines to
69


Maserati depend on the orders received from Maserati, which in turn depend on Maserati production volumes and product launches. Our net revenues from engines increased in 2021 compared to 2020 as a result of higher orders received from Maserati, although they remain below 2019 levels.

A. Operating Results

Results of Operations
Consolidated Results of Operations – 2021 compared to 2020 and 2020 compared to 2019
    The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, and for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The presentation includes line items as a percentage of net revenues for the respective periods presented to facilitate year-over-year comparisons.
For the year ended December 31, 2020 our costs as a percentage of net revenues and our EBIT and EBIT margin were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a seven-week production and delivery suspension in the first half of 2020 (during which we decided to pay all employees throughout the whole suspension period and not accede to any government aid programs) as well as changes to the format of the 2020 Formula 1 World Championship.

(1)    Includes net revenues generated from shipments of our cars, any personalization generated on these cars, as well as sales of spare parts.
(2)    Includes net revenues generated from the sale of engines to Maserati for use in their cars and from the rental of engines to other Formula 1 racing teams.
(3)    Includes net revenues earned by our Formula 1 racing team through sponsorship agreements and our share of the Formula 1 World Championship commercial revenues, as well as net revenues generated through the Ferrari brand, including merchandising, licensing and royalty income.
(4)    Primarily relates to financial services activities, management of the Mugello racetrack and other sports-related activities.
2021 compared to 2020
    Net revenues for 2021 were €4,271 million, an increase of €811 million, or 23.4 percent (an increase of 26.0 percent on a constant currency basis), from €3,460 million for 2020.    
    The increase in net revenues was attributable to the combination of (i) a €738 million increase in cars and spare parts, (ii) a €38 million increase in engines, and (iii) a €41 million increase in sponsorship, commercial and brand, partially offset by a €6 million decrease in other revenues.
Cars and spare parts
    Net revenues generated from cars and spare parts were €3,573 million for 2021, an increase of €738 million, or 26.0 percent, from €2,835 million for 2020.
The increase in net revenues from cars and spare parts was primarily attributable to higher car volumes, positive mix and personalizations, partially offset by negative foreign currency exchange impact (mainly relating to the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen). Shipments in 2020 were impacted by the seven-week production and delivery suspension in the first half of the year caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Overall, shipments increased by 2,036 cars, or 22.3 percent, driven by a 34.6 percent increase in shipments of our V8 models while shipments of our V12 models decreased by 16.1 percent, mainly due to the 812 Superfast, which was phased out during 2021. In particular, the increase in shipments was driven by the F8 family, together with the Ferrari Roma and the SF90 Stradale, which both reached global distribution in the second quarter of 2021, as well as the ramp up of the Ferrari Portofino M and the SF90 Spider, partially offset by the Ferrari Portofino, the 488 Pista family and the 812 Superfast. Additionally, deliveries of the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 increased in 2021 compared 2020, in line with planning, and the models are reaching the end of production. The positive mix impact was driven by the SF90 family and the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, as well as higher revenues from personalizations.
All geographic regions positively contributed in the year, with increases in revenues of: (i) €251 million in EMEA, (ii) €217 million in Americas, (iii) €137 million in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and (iv) €133 million in Rest of APAC. The performance in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan was boosted by the launch of new models and the comparison versus the prior year, which was negatively impacted by the decision to deliberately accelerate client deliveries in 2019 in advance of new emissions regulations. All changes include the effects of foreign currency hedge transactions.
72


Engines
    Net revenues generated from engines were €189 million for 2021, an increase of €38 million, or 25.7 percent, from €151 million for 2020. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in engines sold to Maserati and, to a lesser extent, higher revenues from the rental of engines to other Formula 1 racing teams.
Sponsorship, commercial and brand
    Net revenues generated from sponsorship, Formula 1 commercial agreements and brand management activities were €431 million for 2021, an increase of €41 million, or 10.4 percent, from €390 million for 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to Formula 1 racing activities, driven by the more favorable Formula 1 calendar compared to 2020, and brand-related activities, partially offset by a lower prior year Formula 1 ranking.
Other
Other net revenues were €78 million for 2021, a decrease of €6 million, or 7.4 percent, from €84 million for 2020.
2020 compared to 2019
    Net revenues for 2020 were €3,460 million, a decrease of €306 million, or 8.1 percent (a decrease of 8.9 percent on a constant currency basis), from €3,766 million for 2019.
    The change in net revenues was attributable to the combination of (i) a €91 million decrease in cars and spare parts, (ii) a €47 million decrease in engines, (iii) a €148 million decrease in sponsorship, commercial and brand, and (iv) a €20 million decrease in other revenues.
Cars and spare parts
    Net revenues generated from cars and spare parts were €2,835 million for 2020, a decrease of €91 million, or 3.1 percent, from €2,926 million for 2019.
The decrease in net revenues was primarily attributable to lower volumes as well as their personalizations, mainly due to the seven-week production suspension in the first half of 2020 and the temporary closure of certain dealerships caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by positive mix driven by deliveries of the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2.
Overall, shipments decreased by 1,012 cars, or 10.0 percent, compared to the prior year, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, with a gradual recovery of production and shipments in the second half of 2020. Shipments of our V8 models decreased by 10.3 percent while our V12 models decreased by 9.0. The decrease in shipments also reflects the phase-out of the Ferrari Portofino as well as the Ferrari 488 Pista and Ferrari 488 Pista Spider gradually approaching the end of their lifecycles, partially offset by the ramp up of the Ferrari F8 Tributo, the Ferrari F8 Spider, and the 812 GTS which reached global distribution, as well as the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, which were delivered as originally scheduled in 2020. The deliveries of the SF90 Stradale started in the fourth quarter of 2020 following the industrialization delays experienced and subsequently resolved. Deliveries of the Ferrari Roma also commenced in the fourth quarter.

    The €91 million decrease in net revenues was composed of (i) a €170 million increase in EMEA, (ii) a €143 million decrease in Americas (including positive foreign currency translation impact driven by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Euro), (iii) a €146 million decrease in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and (iv) a €28 million increase in the Rest of APAC. Net revenues by geography were impacted by the deliberate geographic allocations driven by the phase-in/phase-out pace of individual models, which primarily favored EMEA in 2020. The decrease in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan was primarily impacted by the decision to accelerate client deliveries in the first half of 2019, in addition to the effects of COVID-19 in 2020.
Engines
    Net revenues generated from engines were €151 million for 2020, a decrease of €47 million, or 24.0 percent, from €198 million for 2019. The decrease was attributable to lower shipments of engines to Maserati and lower revenues from the
73


rental of engines to other Formula 1 racing teams driven by the reduced number of races in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sponsorship, commercial and brand
    Net revenues generated from sponsorship, Formula 1 commercial agreements and brand management activities were €390 million for 2020, a decrease of €148 million, or 27.5 percent, from €538 million for 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in a reduced number of Formula 1 races in 2020 and a decrease in-store traffic and museum visitors.
Other
Other net revenues were €84 million for 2020 a decrease of €20 million, or 19.5 percent, from €104 million for 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced sports-related activities and the cancellation of the Moto GP event at the Mugello racetrack, the effects of which were only partially offset by the first ever Formula 1 Grand Prix held at the Mugello racetrack.

    The increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to higher car volumes and a change in product mix, as well as higher Maserati engine volumes and costs for other supporting activities.
2020 compared to 2019
    Cost of sales for 2020 was €1,686 million, a decrease of €119 million, or 6.6 percent, from €1,805 million for 2019. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of sales increased from 47.9 percent in 2019 to 48.7 percent in 2020.
    The decrease in cost of sales was primarily attributable to a decrease in car volumes due to COVID-19 pandemic and lower engine volumes produced for Maserati, partially offset by higher depreciation. Cost of sales in 2020 includes the full cost of employees’ paid days of absence during the COVID-19-related production suspension.

    The increase in research and development costs was primarily attributable to an increase in research and development costs expensed of €47 million driven by product innovation and Formula 1 activities, and comparison was impacted by higher technology incentives in the prior year, as well as an increase in amortization of capitalized development costs of €14 million driven by a general increase in capitalized development costs in recent years in line with our strategy to update and broaden our product range and significantly increase our efforts in relation to hybrid and other advanced technologies.
2020 compared to 2019
Research and development costs for 2020 were €707 million, an increase of €8 million, or 1.2 percent, from €699 million for 2019. As a percentage of net revenues, research and development costs were 20.4 percent in 2020 compared to 18.6 percent in 2019.
    The increase of €8 million in research and development costs during the period was primarily attributable to an increase in amortization of capitalized development costs of €40 million driven by a general increase in capitalized development costs in recent years in line with our strategy to update and broaden our product range and significantly increase our efforts relating to hybrid and other advanced technologies, partially offset by lower research and development costs expensed during the period of €32 million, including as a result of technology-related government incentives recognized in 2020.
We continued to invest in research and development projects important for the continuing success of Ferrari and its future development, despite certain actions taken in 2020 to contain costs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

2021 compared to 2020
    EBIT for 2021 was €1,075 million, an increase of €359 million, or 50.2 percent, from €716 million for 2020. As a percentage of net revenues, EBIT increased from 20.7 percent in 2020 to 25.2 percent in 2021.
The increase in EBIT was primarily attributable to the combined effects of (i) positive volume impact of €220 million, (ii) positive product mix impact of €212 million, (iii) an increase in research and development costs of €61 million, (iv) an increase in selling, general and administrative costs of €12 million, (v) positive contribution of €77 million driven by Formula 1 racing activities reflecting the more favorable Formula 1 calendar compared to 2020 as well as higher contribution from brand-related activities, Maserati engines and other supporting activities, partially offset by a lower prior year Formula 1 ranking, and (vi) negative foreign currency exchange impact of €77 million (including foreign currency hedging instruments) primarily driven by the strengthening of the Euro compared to the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen.
The positive mix impact was driven by the SF90 family, the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, and personalizations, partially offset by the ramp up of the Ferrari Roma and the Portofino M and reduced contribution of the 812 Superfast, which was phased out during 2021.
2020 compared to 2019
    EBIT for 2020 was €716 million, a decrease of €201 million, or 21.9 percent, from €917 million for 2019. As a percentage of net revenues, EBIT decreased from 24.4 percent in 2019 to 20.7 percent in 2020.
    The decrease in EBIT was attributable to the combined effects of (i) negative volume impact of €126 million, (ii) positive product mix and price impact of €130 million, (iii) an increase in industrial costs of €58 million, including higher depreciation, (iv) an increase in research and development costs of €8 million (net of the benefit from technology-related government incentives), (v) a decrease in selling, general and administrative costs of €7 million, (vi) negative contribution of €184 million due to the impacts of COVID-19 on the Formula 1 racing calendar, lower traffic for brand related activities and lower engine sales to Maserati, and (vii) positive foreign currency exchange impact of €38 million (including foreign currency hedging instruments) primarily driven by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen compared to the Euro.
76


The negative volume impact was primarily attributable to the temporary suspension of shipments for seven weeks during the first half of 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of which were partially recovered in the second half of the year. The positive product mix and price impact was primarily attributable to deliveries of the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 as well as an otherwise richer product mix, partially offset by fewer shipments of the FXX-K EVO and lower contributions from our personalization programs, which are correlated to the decrease in volumes.

2021 compared to 2020
    Income tax expense for 2021 was €209 million, an increase of €151 million, compared to €58 million for 2020. Income taxes for both years benefited from the application of the Patent Box regime. See Note 10 “Income Taxes” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document for additional information related to the Patent Box tax regime in Italy.
The increase in income tax expense was primarily attributable to the combined effects of (i) an increase in profit before taxes and (ii) a net tax benefit recognized in 2020 from the partial step up of trademarks for tax purposes amounting to €75 million, as further described below.
The effective tax rate was 20.1 percent in 2021 compared to 8.7 percent in 2020. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the effects of a net tax benefit recognized in 2020 from the voluntary, partial step-up of trademarks for tax purposes, as further described below.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Group benefited from the measures introduced in Italy by the art. 110 of the Law Decree n. 104/2020, converted in the Law n.126/2020, enacting “Urgent measures to support and relaunch the economy” which reopened the voluntary step up of tangible and intangible assets, with the application of a substitutive tax rate (3%). In particular, Ferrari S.p.A. benefited from the one-off partial step-up of its trademark for tax purposes, which resulted in the recognition in 2020 of deferred tax assets for €84 million and a substitute tax liability for €9 million, resulting in a net tax benefit of €75 million. There was no cash effect in 2020 from the step-up of the trademark. The deferred tax asset will be utilized over a 50-year period (following the introduction of the 2022 Italian budget law (Law 234/2021) which provides for an extension from 18 years to 50 years of the amortization period for tax purposes for any trademarks and goodwill that benefited from the step-up regime) and the substitute tax will be paid in three equal annual installments starting in 2021. The

net benefit has been treated as an adjusting item in the calculation of Adjusted Net Profit and Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share for 2020.
2020 compared to 2019
    Income tax expense for 2020 was €58 million, a decrease of €118 million, or 67.1 percent compared to €176 million for 2019.
    The decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to the combined effects of (i) a tax benefit from the partial step up of trademarks for tax purposes amounting to €75 million, as further described above, (ii) a decrease in profit before taxes, and (iii) the effects of deductions for eligible research and development costs. Income taxes for both years benefited from the application of the Patent Box regime.
The effective tax rate was 8.7 percent in 2020 compared to 20.2 percent in 2019. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the effects of the net tax benefit recognized in 2020 from the trademark step-up as described above, and to a lesser extent, the effects of deductions for eligible research and development costs.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Overview
    We require liquidity in order to fund our operations and meet our obligations. Short-term liquidity is required, among others, to purchase raw materials, parts, components and utilities for car production, as well as to fund personnel expenses and other operating costs. In addition to our general working capital and operational needs, we require cash for capital investments to support continuous product range renewal and expansion and, more recently, for research and development activities to transition our product portfolio to hybrid and electric technology. We also make investments to, among others, enhance manufacturing efficiency, improve capacity, implement sustainability initiatives, ensure environmental compliance and carry out maintenance activities. We fund our capital expenditure primarily with cash generated from our operating activities.
    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 available liquidity, including committed credit lines granted from primary financial institutions, 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 additional 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, our financial services activities, the timing of capital expenditures and, to a lesser extent, tax payments. In particular, our inventory levels generally increase in the periods leading up to the launch of new models, during the phase out of existing models when we build up spare parts, 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 (or earlier when sales financing schemes are utilized by us or by our dealers) while we generally pay most suppliers between 60 and 90 days after we receive the raw materials, components or other goods and services. Additionally, we also receive advance payments from our customers, mainly for our Icona and limited edition models. We maintain sufficient inventory of raw materials and components to ensure continuity of our production lines, however 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 we may warehouse cars in local markets for longer periods of time to ensure prompt deliveries in certain regions. As a result of the above, including the advances received from customers for certain car models, we tend to receive payment for cars shipped before or around the time we are required to make payments for the raw materials, components or other materials 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 investments in research and development are also influenced by the timing of research costs for our Formula 1 activities, for which expenditure in a normal season is generally higher in the first and last quarters of the year, and otherwise depends on the evolution of the applicable Formula 1 technical regulations, as well as the number and cadence of races during the course of the racing season. We are currently undergoing a period of structurally higher capital spending as we broaden our car architectures and work on the transition to hybrid and electric technologies. We also continue to make significant capital investments by prioritizing capital projects that are considered important for the continuing success of Ferrari and its future development, including the acquisition in 2020 and, to a lesser extent, in 2021, of tracts of land adjacent to our facilities in Maranello as part of our expansion plans.
    The payment of income taxes also affects our cash flows. We typically pay the first tax advance payment in the second quarter of the year and the remaining portion in the third and/or fourth quarters. Our tax expense and tax payments in 2021, 2020 and 2019 benefited from applying the Patent Box tax regime. See Note 10 “Income Taxes” to the Consolidated
79

For the year ended December 31, 2021 cash and cash equivalents held by the Group decreased by €18 million compared to an increase of €464 million for year ended December 31, 2020. The difference in the net change in cash and cash equivalents in 2021 compared to 2020 of €482 million was primarily attributable to the combined effects of:
(i)the full repayment of a bond for €501 million in January 2021 (including a principal amount of €500 million and interest of €1 million);
(ii)lower cash proceeds from the issuance of bonds and notes of €491 million (net proceeds of €149 million in 2021 from the issuance of the 2032 Notes (as defined below) compared to €640 million in 2020 from the issuance of the 2025 Bond (as defined below);
(iii)higher share repurchases of €101 million (€231 million in 2021 compared to €130 million in 2020 as the share repurchase program was restarted on March 11, 2021 following the decision to temporarily suspend the program on March 30, 2020 to preserve liquidity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic); and
(iv)higher investments in intangible assets of €33 million to support the development of our current and future product offering.
partially offset by:
(i)an increase in EBITDA of €388 million;
(ii)an increase of €123 million in net proceeds from bank borrowings and other financial institutions;
(iii)a positive impact of €62 million from working capital and other operating assets and liabilities, and
(iv)lower dividends paid to owners of the parent of 48 million (€160 million paid in 2021 compared to 208 million paid in 2020, primarily driven by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic).

2020 compared to 2019
For the year ended December 31, 2020 the total change in cash and cash equivalents was €464 million compared to €104 million for year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in cash generation of €360 million in 2020 compared to 2019 was primarily attributable to:
(i)net cash proceeds of €640 million received in 2020 from the issuance of the 2025 Bond; and
(ii)lower share repurchases of €257 million (€130 million in 2020 compared to €387 million in 2019) driven by our decision to temporarily suspend the share repurchase program in March 2020 to preserve liquidity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic;
partially offset by:
(i)a decrease in advances received for the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 (which were primarily received in 2019 ahead of shipments, including for cars actually delivered in 2020);
(ii)the adverse impacts on our cash flows from operating activities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the temporary suspension of production and deliveries for seven weeks during the first half of 2020, as well as higher inventories reflecting efforts to mitigate potential supply chain issues;
(iii)an increase in income taxes paid, and
(iv)lower net proceeds from our securitization programs.
Please refer to the following discussion and to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows included elsewhere in this document for additional information related to our cash flows.

    Our total capital expenditures in intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2021 were €385 million (€352 million and €354 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively).
    The most significant investments relate 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 and personnel costs relating to engineering, design and development activities focused on content enhancement of existing cars and new models, including to broaden our product range and our ongoing investments in hybrid and electric technology and the development of components, which are necessary to provide continuing performance upgrades to our sports car customers and to help us capture the preferences of the urban, affluent purchasers of GT cars whom we are increasingly targeting as we transition our product portfolio to hybrid and electric technology. We continually invest in product development to ensure we can quickly and efficiently respond to market demand and technological breakthroughs, as well as to maintain our position at the top of the luxury performance sports cars market.
    For the year ended December 31, 2021, we invested €363 million in externally acquired and internally generated development costs, of which €229 million related to the development of models to be launched in future years and €134 million primarily related to the development of our current product portfolio and components.
    For the year ended December 31, 2020, we invested €320 million in externally acquired and internally generated development costs, of which €244 million primarily related to the development of models to be launched in future years and, to a much lesser extent, to investments required for new technical regulations applicable for the 2022 to 2025 Formula 1 seasons, and €76 million related to the development of models in our current product portfolio and car components.
    For the year ended December 31, 2019, we invested €330 million in externally acquired and internally generated development costs, of which €145 million related to development of models to be launched in future years and €185 million primarily related to the development of our current product portfolio as well as components.

Property, plant and equipment
    Our total capital expenditures in property, plant and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2021 were €365 million (€382 million and €352 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively).
    Our most significant investments generally relate to plant, machinery and equipment, which amounted to €123 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 (€115 million and €176 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively) as well as advances and assets under construction, which amounted to €187 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 (€215 million and €142 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively). Our main 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 investments related to our personalization programs and engine assembly lines. Investments in advances and assets under construction and industrial buildings for the periods presented reflect our focus on the hybridization and broadening of our product range and supporting future model launches, including our acquisition of tracts of land adjacent to our facilities in Maranello as part of our expansion plans, which amounted to €42 million in 2021 (cumulative acquisitions of land since the start of 2019 amounted to €117 million).
    At December 31, 2021, the Group had contractual commitments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment amounting to €74 million (€101 million at December 31, 2020).

For additional information see Note 24 “Debt” to our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document. The table above does not include short-term debt obligations. See the table below for a reconciliation of the contractual commitments of our long-term debt to our debt recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position included within our Consolidated Financial Statements.
(2)    Amounts include interest payments based on contractual terms and current interest rates on our long-term debt. Interest rates based on variable rates included above were determined using the rates in effect at December 31, 2021.
(3)    Lease obligations mainly relate to leases for Ferrari stores, industrial buildings and certain other assets used in our business.
(4)    Unconditional minimum purchase obligations relate to our unconditional purchase obligations to purchase a fixed or minimum quantity of goods and/or services from suppliers with fixed and determinable price provisions. From time to time, in the ordinary course of our business, we enter into various arrangements with key suppliers in order to establish strategic and technological advantages. In particular, such agreements primarily relate to research and development activities and, to a lesser extent, tooling obligations. This amount also includes unconditional purchase obligations to purchase a minimum quantity of goods and/or services in connection with certain of our sponsorship contracts.
(5)    Purchase obligations represent obligations to purchase property, plant and equipment.

    The long-term debt obligations reflected in the table above can be reconciled to the amount in the consolidated statement of financial position at December 31, 2021 (in our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document) as follows:

Short-term debt obligations(186)
Lease liabilities(56)
Amortized cost effects(3)
Long-term debt2,385 
Pension, post-employment benefits and other provisions for employees    
We provide post-employment benefits for certain active employees and retirees of the Group. We classify these benefits on the basis of the type of benefit provided and in particular as defined contribution plans, defined benefit obligations and other provisions for employees. At December 31, 2021 the liability for such obligations amounted to €101 million (€60 million at December 31, 2020). See Note 22 “Employee benefits” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document.    
Off balance sheet arrangements
    We have entered into various off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated third parties in the ordinary course of business. For additional information see Note 29 “Commitments” to our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    We monitor and evaluate our operating and financial performance using several non-GAAP financial measures including: Net Debt, Net Industrial Debt, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted Net Profit, Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share, 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 to management and investors regarding our performance and improve 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.
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 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 debt and cash and cash equivalents related to our financial services activities (Net Debt of Financial Services Activities).
    The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Net Debt and Net Industrial Debt at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

On July 29, 2021, the Company issued 0.91 percent senior notes due January 2032 (“2032 Notes”) through a private placement to certain US institutional investors, having a principal of €150 million. The net proceeds from the issuance amounted to €149,495 thousand, and the yield to maturity, on an annual basis, equals the nominal coupon rates of the Notes. The Notes are primarily used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of capital expenditures.

On May 27, 2020, the Company issued 1.5 percent coupon notes due May 2025 (“2025 Bond”), having a principal of €650 million. The notes were issued at a discount for an issue price of 98.898 percent, resulting in net proceeds of €640 million after related expenses and a yield to maturity of 1.732 percent. The bond was admitted to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Dublin.

The increase in the Net Debt of Financial Services Activities (as defined above) of €169 million, from €820 million at December 31, 2020, to €989 million at December 31, 2021, relates primarily to the increase in asset-backed financing (securitizations) of the receivables generated by our financial services activities in the United States, which grew by €204 million, from €940 million at December 31, 2020 to €1,144 million at December 31, 2021.
The following table presents our receivables from financing activities and our Net Debt of Financial Services Activities at December 31, 2021 and 2020:

For further details of our receivables from financing activities and our asset-backed financing (securitizations), see Note 18 “Current Receivables and Other Current Assets” and Note 24 “Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document.
Cash and cash equivalents
    Cash and cash equivalents amounted to €1,344 million at December 31, 2021 compared to €1,362 million at December 31, 2020. See “Cash Flows” above for further details.
    Approximately 85 percent of our cash and cash equivalents were denominated in Euro at December 31, 2021 (approximately 88 percent at December 31, 2020). 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 €90 million at December 31, 2021 (€56 million at December 31, 2020), is subject to certain repatriation restrictions and may only be repatriated as a repayment of payables, or debt, or 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.
    The following table sets forth an analysis of the currencies in which our cash and cash equivalents were denominated at the dates presented.

    Cash collected from the settlement of receivables 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 €48 million at December 31, 2021 (€37 million at December 31, 2020).
Total available liquidity
    Total available liquidity (defined as cash and cash equivalents plus undrawn committed credit lines) at December 31, 2021 was €2,020 million (€2,062 million at December 31, 2020).

    The undrawn committed credit lines at December 31, 2021 and at December 31, 2020 relate to revolving credit facilities. For further details, see Note 24 “Debt” in the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document.
To prudently manage potential liquidity or refinancing risks as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in April 2020 the Group increased its undrawn committed credit lines by securing an additional amount of €350 million, doubling the total committed credit lines available and undrawn to €700 million. In March 2021 the Group cancelled a credit line of €100 million and simultaneously replaced it with a new credit line for €150 million with a term of 23 months. Subsequently, in April 2021, the Group replaced an uncommitted credit line of $50 million, which was terminated, with a new committed credit line for $100 million with a term of 24 months. At December 31, 2021 the line had been drawn down for $70 million (€62 million) representing the only committed credit line that has been drawn down by the Group. The new credit line replaces the funding previously provided by one of securitization programs in the US for funding of up to $110 million that expired in April 2021. In October 2021, a committed credit line previously negotiated in April 2020 for €100 million expired. At December 31, 2021 the Group had total committed credit lines available and undrawn of €676 million (€700 million at December 31, 2020).

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 (excluding right-of-use assets recognized during the period in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases) 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 2020, we defined Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities without excluding from investments in property, plant and equipment the right-of-use assets recognized during the period in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases. Applying the current definition of Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities to 2019 would result in an immaterial difference compared to the figures presented below.
The following table sets forth our Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

    Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was €642 million, an increase of €471 million compared to €171 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities in 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily attributable to an increase in EBITDA and a positive change in cash flows from other operating assets and liabilities driven by the collection of advances from the 812 Competizione and 812 Competizione A, partially offset by the reversal of advances for the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 and higher investments to support the development of our current and future product offering and higher taxes paid.
    Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was positive €171 million a decrease of €504 million compared to €675 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities was primarily driven by a decrease in advances received for the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 (which were primarily received in 2019 ahead of shipments, including for cars actually delivered in 2020), the adverse impacts on our EBITDA as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and higher inventories at year end reflecting efforts to mitigate potential supply chain issues, as well as an increase in income taxes paid. Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities in 2019 benefited from advances collected ahead of shipments of the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, including for cars actually delivered in 2020.
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 provided in order to present how the underlying business has performed prior to the impact of the adjusting items, 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 years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, and provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to net profit. There were no adjustments impacting Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented.

In particular, Ferrari S.p.A. benefited from the one-off partial step-up of its trademark for tax purposes, which resulted in the recognition in 2020 of deferred tax assets for €84 million and a substitute tax liability for €9 million, resulting in a net tax benefit of €75 million. There was no cash effect in 2020.

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 effects) which are significant in nature, expected to occur infrequently, and that management considers not reflective of ongoing operational activities.

Constant Currency Information
    The “Results of Operations” discussion above includes information about our net revenues on a constant currency basis, which excludes 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 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 2 “Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this document, 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.

B. Compensation
Introduction
The description below summarizes the guidelines and the principles followed by Ferrari in order to define and implement the remuneration policy applicable to the executive directors and non-executive directors of the Company, as well as members of the Ferrari Leadership Team (FLT). In addition, this section provides the remuneration paid to these individuals for the year ended December 31, 2021. The form and amount of compensation received by the directors of Ferrari for the year ended December 31, 2021 was determined in accordance with the remuneration policy. The Compensation Committee oversees the remuneration policy, remuneration plans and practices of Ferrari and recommends changes when appropriate. The Committee is solely comprised of non-executive directors from the Board of Directors who are independent pursuant to the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. Through this document, Ferrari aims to provide its stakeholders with a high level of transparency and disclosure in order to strengthen the trust they and the market place in Ferrari, as well as provide them with the information they need to assess the Company’s remuneration principles and exercise shareholders’ rights in an informed manner. The Company may from time to time amend the remuneration policy, subject to our shareholders’ approval when necessary.
This Compensation Report consists of two sections:
1.Remuneration strategy: our current remuneration policy (which is available on our corporate website) governs compensation for both executive and non-executive directors. In 2020, Ferrari confirmed these remuneration features through the positive vote expressed by shareholders in the Annual General Meeting held on April 16, 2020 (the “2020 AGM”).
Our current remuneration strategy further strengthens the alignment with shareholders’ interests and long-term sustainability of our business, adopting certain updates to reflect developing best practices in the Dutch Corporate Governance Code.
2.Implementation of remuneration strategy: details how remuneration features have been implemented during the 2021 financial year and actual remuneration received by each executive and non-executive director. In 2021, there was no deviation from the remuneration policy.

1. Remuneration Strategy for the 2021 Financial Year
Remuneration principles
The main goal of Ferrari’s remuneration strategy is to develop a system which consistently supports the business strategy and value creation for all shareholders, establishing a compensation structure that allows us to attract and retain the most highly qualified executive talent and motivate such executives to achieve business and financial goals that create long-term value for shareholders in a manner consistent with our core business and leadership values and taking into account the social context around the Company.
In defining the remuneration strategy, the Compensation Committee has taken into account certain principles which characterize Ferrari’s remuneration policy, such as:
1.the identity, mission and values of the Company, to attract, retain and reward skilled women and men who constitute the soul of the Company. Their passion, courage, creativity, ambition and pride constitute the essence of Ferrari and fuel its legend to ever greater heights. Being Ferrari means being part of a unique future-focused team in which people are the most valuable resource. Together with all our employees we have crafted the vision, mission and values that are the very essence of being part of Ferrari and which guide our employees as we tackle our day-to-day challenges;
2.the provision of statutory requirements, with specific focus on the Shareholder Rights Directive (Directive (EU) 2017/828) and the implementation thereof into Dutch law;
3.international competitive remuneration market trends, based on the idea that it is becoming increasingly challenging to attract and retain employees in today’s competitive labor market. For our executive directors and members of the FLT, fixed remuneration, short-term incentive opportunities and long-term incentive opportunities are calculated
100


based on the position and responsibilities assigned to each, taking into account average remuneration levels on the market for positions with similar levels of responsibility and managerial complexity in large international companies, in order to maintain high levels of competitiveness and engagement;
4.corporate governance and executive remuneration best practices as expressed by institutional investor guidelines, developing a remuneration policy compliant with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code and the interest of Ferrari’s shareholders. We analyze any gaps in each of our remuneration components in order to provide a high level of alignment with the main guidelines of our stakeholders;
5.the societal context around and social support in respect of the Company, developing a specific focus on trends in sustainability among our employees. We are committed to provide a healthy and safe workplace for all employees and stakeholders by implementing a high level of safety standards to avoid potential risks to people, assets or the environment, in order to guarantee an optimal working environment for all employees and attract the best talents. Our results in this field reflect, once again, our strategic commitment to protecting the environment and ensuring personal safety;
6.the views of the Board of Directors, members of the FLT, other senior leaders and all employees, in order to make the health and safety of the Company’s employees essential to the successful conduct and future growth of the Company. In this respect and in line with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, the internal pay ratio is an important input for determining the remuneration for the Board of Directors; and
7.the centrality for Ferrari of value creation and the interest of our shareholders, the importance of which is recognized through the use of Total Shareholder Return (TSR) as a performance metric in the Company’s long-term incentive plans. The Compensation Committee considers that the use of relative TSR remains one of the most appropriate measures of long-term performance for Ferrari. The structure of our PSU awards demonstrates the centrality of this factor and helps to promote a strong correlation between pay and performance for our Executives.
The main principles of Ferrari’s remuneration policy are outlined in the chart below:
race-20211231_g19.jpg
Overview of remuneration elements
As anticipated above, Ferrari’s current remuneration policy was approved by shareholders at the 2020 AGM and will be resubmitted to a vote by the Company’s General Meeting at least every four years. The structure of the remuneration applicable to our executive directors, non-executive directors and other key management under Ferrari’s remuneration policy has not changed in 2021 and consists of the following elements:

101


(i)fixed remuneration linked to the third pillar of Ferrari’s remuneration policy (Competitiveness) with the objective of attracting, retaining and motivating our qualified executives and effective leaders. For this reason, we periodically benchmark comparable salaries paid to executives with similar experience by comparable companies;
(ii)short-term incentives linked to the first and second pillars of Ferrari’s remuneration policy (Alignment with Ferrari’s Strategy and Pay for Performance) and tied to specific financial targets which are set at challenging levels; short-term incentives are also linked to the contribution of the individual member (Individual Performance Factor) in order to motivate its beneficiaries to achieve challenging targets. In particular, Ferrari’s 2021 achievements, success and developments were driven by organization-wide alignment with the Company’s strategy and values, through incentives that reward the achievement of those goals;
(iii)long-term incentives linked to the first and fourth pillars of Ferrari’s remuneration policy (Alignment with Ferrari’s Strategy and Long-Term Shareholder Value Creation) with the aim to align the behavior of executives critical to the business with shareholders’ interests, motivate executives to achieve long-term strategic objectives, and enhance retention of key resources;
(iv)non-monetary benefits which are related to the overall remuneration and linked to the third pillar of Ferrari’s remuneration policy (Competitiveness).

Ferrari’s remuneration policy provides that a substantial portion of the compensation of our executive directors and members of the FLT should be “at-risk”, meaning that each will receive a certain percentage of his or her total compensation only to the extent Ferrari and the executive accomplish short and long-term goals established by the Compensation Committee.

Stakeholder engagement
The Compensation Committee regularly reviews the directors’ remuneration policy against the best corporate governance practices adopted by institutional shareholders and the recommendations of the main proxy advisors, considering also the view of the stakeholders on the remuneration policy and main features of the compensation report.
In this respect, the Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on April 15, 2021 approved the remuneration report for the year 2020 (the “Ferrari Remuneration Report 2020”) and the voting results are reflected in the following table:
ResolutionVotes For%Votes Against%Votes TotalAbstain
2.c - Remuneration Report 2020 (discussion and advisory vote)180,789,38686.9694327,087,54213.03057
207,876,928
158,295
Considering the previous vote of the Annual General Meeting of shareholders and to further understand shareholders’ feedback to the Ferrari Remuneration Report 2020, we engaged with our stakeholders prior to drafting the Compensation Report for the year 2021. We believe that those conversations have been very constructive and have led to improvements in our Compensation Report. In particular, our reporting on both short term and long-term incentive plans was identified as an area for improvement for the below reasons:

some stakeholders issued negative voting advice on the Ferrari Remuneration Report 2020 due to (i) the accelerated vesting of PSU awards pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan 2019-2021 of the former CEO, Louis Camilleri, upon his resignation; (ii) the vesting below median of the Equity Incentive Plan with reference to the TSR metric; and (iii) the argued lack of link between one-third of the awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan (33% of RSUs) to any performance targets;
some stakeholders also issued negative voting advice on the Ferrari Remuneration Report 2020 due to the lack of short-term incentive plans for executive directors, based on an annual performance assessment of collective and individual indicators.

Since we constantly work on the improvement of our remuneration strategies, we have taken into account the previous vote of the general meeting in the process of reviewing of our variable incentive schemes which will become effective in 2022, as further described below in this Compensation Report. More specifically, (i) we included short-term incentives in the Chairman’s and the CEO’s compensation packages for 2022, in order to better align executive directors’ actions to Ferrari’s strategy and performance and in line with best market practices, and (ii) we are re-designing our long-
102


term incentive structure by further improving some elements and with a specific view on sustainability-linked performance indicators.

Through this Compensation Report we continue to pursue our objective to provide our stakeholders each year with clear and comprehensive disclosure of the decisions relating to the remuneration of our executive and non-executive directors and members of the FLT.

We trust that stakeholders will consider these changes positively and appreciate the spirit of transparency and continuous improvement which drives them.

The Compensation Report for the financial year 2021 is subject to a consultative vote at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for April 2022.

    In light of the foregoing considerations, our Executive Chairman’s and CEO’s compensation packages are structured as follows:
2021    
race-20211231_g20.jpg
    As shown in the charts above, our compensation structure places an appropriate amount of compensation opportunities for our Executive Chairman and CEO at risk, based on financial and non-financial performance measures and relative TSR. A significant portion of the compensation opportunities is delivered in equity, the vesting and value of which are intended to align the executive’s interests with shareholder returns. The Chairman and Acting CEO compensation package for 2021 did not include any short-term incentives, which have been included in the Chairman’s and CEO’s compensation packages for 2022 (as shown in the charts below), in order to better align executive directors’ action to Ferrari’s performance and strategy and in line with best market practices (see the section “2021 remuneration of executive directors and FLT members” in the paragraph about benchmarking):

Our remuneration policy is aligned with Dutch law and the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. In particular, the Dutch Corporate Governance Code (the "Code") requires listed companies to disclose certain information about the compensation of their Board and executive directors. Through this remuneration strategy, Ferrari fulfills the requirements of the Code ensuring full transparency with our shareholders.

2021 remuneration of executive directors and FLT members

The Board of Directors determines the compensation for our executive directors following the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and with reference to the remuneration policy. The compensation structure for executive directors and FLT members includes a fixed component and a variable component based on short and long-term performance. As anticipated above, the Chairman’s and Acting CEO’s compensation package for 2021 did not include any short-term incentives, which have been included in the Chairman’s and CEO’s compensation packages for 2022 in order to make their compensation packages more competitive with the relevant market (considering the companies belonging to the Reference Panel described below).
We believe that this compensation structure promotes the interests of Ferrari in the short and the long-term and is designed to encourage the executive directors and FLT members to act in the best interests of Ferrari. In determining the level and structure of the compensation of the executive directors, the non-executive directors will take into account, among other things, Ferrari’s financial and operational results and other business objectives, while considering the executive directors’ view concerning the level and structure of their own remuneration. Performance targets are set by the Compensation Committee to be both achievable and stretching, considering Ferrari’s strategic priorities and the automotive landscape. The
108


performance measures that are used for variable components have been chosen to support Ferrari’s strategy, long-term interests and sustainability. We establish target compensation levels using a market-based approach and we monitor compensation levels and trends in the market. We also periodically benchmark our executive compensation program against peer companies.
In particular, Ferrari identified for the role of CEO an ad hoc Reference Panel composed of 15 companies. Ferrari benchmarked its CEO’s total remuneration with those of listed companies deemed comparable with Ferrari in light of some or all of the following criteria: a) representing excellence and luxury in their respective sectors; b) operating in the same business as Ferrari; c) acting in similar sectors ; d) presenting overall a similar Market Cap, Revenues and number of Employees with Ferrari. The companies in the Reference Panel used by Ferrari for the CEO’s compensation benchmarking are listed below:

Chief Executive Officer Reference Panel
Aston Martin Lagonda
Brembo
Bayerische Motoren Worke
Burberry
Compagnie Financiere Richemont
Mercedes-Benz Group
Harley-Davidson
Hermes International
Kering
LVMH
Moncler
Pirelli
Renault
The Estée Lauder Companies
Volkswagen
The Executive Chairman’s Reference Panel comprises the companies of the CEO’s Reference Panel which have a Chairman with powers and delegations comparable to Ferrari (5 Companies out of 15 of those inserted in CEO’s Reference Panel), along with two additional companies (added in order to benchmark a statistically significant number of peers and determined based on companies that have a chairman with powers and authority comparable to the powers and authority of the Executive Chairman). The companies forming part of the Reference Panel for the Executive Chairman target compensation benchmarking are listed below:
Executive Chairman Reference Panel
Aston Martin Lagoonda
Brembo
Compagnie Financiere Richemont
Ford Motors
Hermes International
Salvatore Ferragamo
The Estèe Lauder Companies
The Executive Chairman’s and the CEO’s Reference Panels remained unchanged in 2021. The level and structure of the Executive Chairman’s and CEO’s compensation packages for 2022 have been determined taking into account the results of benchmarking conducted on the practices of the companies belonging to the abovementioned Reference Panels.
In particular, the current Executive Chairman’s and Acting CEO’s compensation packages (i) have been adjusted in order to result in line with the best market practice, in terms of level of compensation and structure, and with the Ferrari’s remuneration policy as approved by shareholders at the 2020 AGM; and (ii) are competitive with the companies belonging to the identified Reference Panel. More in detail, the CEO’s base salary is aligned to the median of the abovementioned Reference Panel (in 2020, it was below the 25th percentile) while the Executive Chairman’s base salary is slightly below the 25th percentile of the relevant Reference Panel (in the 2020 was far below the 25th percentile); the total target compensation for both of them is aligned to the median of the Reference Panel (in the 2020 were both below the 25th percentile). The same applies for the pay mix (considered as ratio between base salary, LTI and STI components) which is aligned to the best market practice.
On the basis of the remuneration policy objectives, compensation of executive directors and FLT members consists, inter alia, of the elements discussed below.


109


Fixed component
The primary objective of the base salary (the fixed part of the annual cash compensation) for executive directors and FLT members is to attract and retain highly qualified senior executives. Our policy is to periodically benchmark comparable salaries paid to executives with similar experience by comparable companies.
Variable components
Executive directors and FLT members are also eligible to receive variable compensation subject to the achievement of pre-established financial and other identified performance targets. The short and long-term components of executive directors’ and FLT members’ variable remuneration are linked to predetermined, assessable targets in order to create long-term value for the shareholders.
Our variable compensation programs are designed to recruit, motivate and reward executive directors and members of the FLT delivering operational and strategic performance over time. The provisions and financial objectives of our variable compensation programs are evaluated on an annual basis and modified in accordance with industry and business conditions.
Short-term incentives (STI)
The primary objective of our performance-based short-term variable cash-based incentives is to incentivize the members of the FLT to focus on the business priorities for the current or next year. The short-term incentive plan is designed to motivate its beneficiaries to achieve challenging targets, by recognizing individual contributions to the Group’s results on an annual basis. The Compensation Committee believes that it is appropriate to use a balance of corporate financial targets, strategic objectives and individual performance objectives.
The methodology for Short Term Incentive Calculation is the following:
race-20211231_g23.jpg
The target level for both the Company Performance Factor and the Individual Performance Factor is 100%, reaching a possible maximum level which is equal to the 150% of target set level, resulting in a maximum pay-opportunity equal to 225% of base salary.
To determine the executive directors’ annual performance bonus, the non-executive directors, upon proposal of the Compensation Committee:
approve the executive directors’ targets and maximum allowable bonuses;
select the appropriate metrics and their weighting;
set the stretch objectives;
consider any unusual items in a performance year to determine the appropriate measurement of achievement; and
approve the final bonus determination.
110


    In 2021, the Compensation Committee defined the Company Performance Factor by reference to four metrics:
Net Revenues (20%)
Consolidated Adjusted EBIT (20%)
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin (20%)
Industrial Free Cash Flow (40%)
The Compensation Committee established challenging goals for each metric, each of which pays out independently. There is no minimum bonus payout; as a result, if none of the threshold objectives are satisfied, there is no bonus payment.
In addition, upon proposal of the Compensation Committee, the non-executive directors have authority to grant special bonuses for specific transactions that are deemed exceptional in terms of strategic importance and effect on Ferrari’s results, taking into account standards of reasonableness and fairness. The form of any such bonus (cash, common shares of Ferrari or options to purchase common shares) is determined by the non-executive directors from time to time.
In particular, during 2021, a special bonus was awarded to Benedetto Vigna (subject to approval by shareholders at the 2022 Annual General Meeting) for having joined Ferrari (the “Welcome Bonus”). The attraction and the appointment of the new CEO - considering his deep understanding of the technologies driving the change in the Company’s industry, and his proven innovation, business-building and leadership skills – was considered a transaction of strategic importance and effect for Ferrari’s results.
Pursuant to the Welcome Bonus, the CEO has been granted (i) an extraordinary cash lump sum of €1,000,000 and (ii) 16,256 Ferrari common shares, in each case subject to approval by shareholders at the 2022 Annual General Meeting. Subject to approval by shareholders at the 2022 Annual General Meeting, the shares have been granted by Ferrari without the obligation to hold the shares for a least five years, because the attraction and the appointment of the new CEO – considering his deep understanding of the technologies driving the change in the Company’s industry, and his proven innovation, business-building and leadership skills – was considered a transaction of strategic importance and effect for Ferrari’s results.
With the exception of the Welcome Bonus, no special bonuses were awarded to the executive directors or members of the FLT for 2021.
As described above, our executive directors (Executive Chairman and CEO) were not included in the Short-Term Incentive Plan in 2021, but they will be included in the Short-Term Incentive Plan for 2022, in order to better align executive directors’ action to Ferrari’s strategy and performance and in line with best market practice.
Long-term incentives (LTI)
    We believe that the equity incentive plan discussed below increases the alignment between the Company’s performance and shareholder interests, by linking the compensation opportunity of the executive directors and members of the FLT to increasing shareholder value.
During 2021, Ferrari had three long-term equity incentive plans in place, consistent with the Company’s business plan presented at the Capital Markets Day in September 2018 and awarding to their beneficiaries a combination of performance share units (“PSUs”) and restricted share units (“RSUs”), each representing the right to receive one Ferrari common share:
(i)Equity Incentive Plan 2019-2021, approved on February 26, 2019 by the Board of Directors, covering a performance period from 2019 to 2021, having the Executive Chairman and the former CEO of the Company, as well as members of the FLT and other key employees of the Group, as beneficiaries; this plan ended on December 31, 2021;
(ii)Equity Incentive Plan 2020-2022, approved on February 17, 2020 by the Board of Directors, covering a performance period from 2020 to 2022, having the Executive Chairman, as well as members of the FLT and other key employees of the Group as beneficiaries. The former CEO was not eligible for the Equity Incentive Plan 2020-2022;
(iii)Equity Incentive Plan 2021-2023, approved on February 26, 2021 by the Board of Directors, covering a performance period from 2021 to 2023, having the Executive Chairman and Interim CEO of the Company, as well as members of the FLT and other key members of the Group as beneficiaries.
111


The PSU awards are earned based on the level of achievement of defined key performance indicators relating to: i) a relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) target (which is relative to the TSR of a defined peer group (“Peer Group”)), ii) an EBITDA target, and iii) an innovation target. Each target is measured independently of the other targets and relates to separate portions of the aggregate awards. The RSU awards are service-based and vest conditional on the executive directors’ continued employment with the Company at the time of vesting.

    The number of PSU awards earned is determined based on the level at which the three performance criteria described below are achieved. At the end of the vesting period, the total number of PSUs earned is equal to the sum of:
the number of PSUs earned under the TSR payout factor; plus
the number of PSUs earned under the EBITDA payout factor; plus

The Innovation Performance Factor focuses on the new product launches in line with Ferrari’s plan and on technological innovation. It is measured in terms of product launches (milestones, volumes and contribution margin), for a weight of 70%, and key technological projects, for the remaining 30%, to be achieved during the performance period.
Our non-financial criterion, the Innovation Performance Factor, is included in the Equity Incentive Plans in order to have a performance indicator directly linked to the long-term sustainability and technological innovation of our business.
The TSR Peer Group was updated during the course of 2019 in order to consider more strategically relevant comparable companies for Ferrari and remained the same in 2020 and 2021.
In relation to the vesting of the PSUs awarded to the Executive Chairman, the vesting of all units under each plan occurs after the end of the relevant performance period (i.e., December 31, 2021, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023), to the extent that the conditions for vesting are satisfied.
The performance period for the Equity Incentive Plan 2019-2021 PSUs commenced on January 1, 2019 and terminated on December 31, 2021. The fair value of the awards used for accounting purposes was measured at the grant date using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The fair value of the PSUs that were granted to Mr. Elkann in 2019 is € 111.64 per share.

Equity Incentive Plan 2022-2024 design main features
The design of the new Equity Incentive Plan 2022-2024, which Ferrari will implement in 2022, subject to the approval of the next Annual General Meeting, provides for significant changes compared to the former Long-Term Equity Incentive Plans. The main changes, which will be better illustrated in the Agenda and Explanatory Notes of the Annual General Meeting to be held in April 2022, include:
115


Combination of PSUs and RSUs: different weight of their distribution in relation to the responsibilities and the level of contribution to the results of each cluster of beneficiaries. Executive Directors will be entitled only to PSUs in order to strengthen the alignment of their long-term interests with those of shareholders;
Financial criteria related to the vesting of PSUs: TSR Peer Group will be updated in order to consider more comparable companies to Ferrari and the pay-out scale will be amended accordingly, requiring performance at the benchmark median before rewarding beneficiaries;
Non-financial criteria: the Innovation Performance Factor will be replaced by two ESG-related criteria.

Other benefits
    Executive directors may also be entitled to customary fringe benefits such as personal use of aircraft, company cars and drivers, personal/home security, medical insurance, accident insurance, tax preparation and financial counselling. The Compensation Committee may grant other benefits to the executive directors in particular circumstances.
Severance
    The terms of service of the CEO provide that termination of the contract by either party is subject to six months’ notice period. However, if the Company terminates his services for reasons other than for just cause (as defined) or if he terminates his services due to the reduction or limitations of his managing powers or following his dismissal in case of change of control, the Company shall pay the CEO an amount equal to 18 monthly installments of his base monthly salary, including any amount due for the six months’ notice period (which means that the severance amount does not exceed 12 months’ salary, in line with the Code), plus the accrued pro rata of the Company's contribution to the pension fund as well as STI and LTI variable compensation accrued at the date of termination of employment. If an actual severance payment will be made at the termination of employment and such severance payment would exceed 12 months’ base salary, then a disclosure will be made in line with the Code.
If within twenty-four months following a change of control (as defined), the Chairman’s services are terminated by the Company (other than for cause), or are terminated by the Chairman for good reason, the Chairman is entitled to receive the accelerated vesting of awards under his long-term incentive plan.



116


Internal pay ratios
In line with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, the internal pay ratio is an important input for determining the Remuneration Policy for the Board of Directors. In addition, also in line with new guidance on methodology, the Company has applied a different methodology when compared to previous years. For the financial year 2021 the internal pay ratio (the ratio between (i) the total annual remuneration of the CEO and (ii) the average annual remuneration of the employees of the company and the group companies of which the company consolidates the financial data) is as follows: using the CEO’s total annual remuneration2 provided for 2021 (€4,486,151), the resulting CEO pay ratio versus the average employee annual remuneration3 was 48.4 (in 2020: 87.4). The value of the CEO pay ratio as compared with the pay ratios disclosed in the previous years is not representative due to the change of the calculation methodology, as explained above. For this reason and in order to provide a comparison, the table below reports the pay ratios of the previous years calculated following the current calculation methodology.

2021
2020
2019
CEO Total Remuneration Costs (A)
4,486,151 6,835,721 8,631,030 
Average Employee (FTE) Total Remuneration Costs (B)
92,656 78,193 83,780 
PAY RATIO (A/B)
48.487.4103.0
The decrease in the pay ratio in 2021 when compared to 2020 can be explained, inter alia, by the fact that for 2020 and 2019 the pay ratio is calculated considering the remuneration of the former CEO, Louis Camilleri, whose compensation package was different from that of the current CEO and included a large portion of LTI variable compensation.

For 2021 the pay ratio is calculated considering the remuneration of the current CEO, Benedetto Vigna payable for the period from September 16, 2021 which includes a one-off Welcome Bonus. There is no significant difference between the pay ratio so calculated and the pay ratio calculated based on the target remuneration elements pro rated on a full year basis. In addition, the compensation payable to Mr. Elkann as interim CEO during 2021 is not included in the calculation of the pay ratio, because such compensation has been forfeited by Mr. Elkann (see “—Implementation of Remuneration Strategy in 2021—Directors’ Compensation” below).

Recoupment of incentive compensation (claw back policy)
    The Equity Incentive Plans (the Equity Incentive Plan 2019-2021, the Equity Incentive Plan 2020-2022 and the Equity Incentive Plan 2021-2023) include a claw back clause, which allows the Company to claim the refund of part or all of the variable component of remuneration awarded or paid on the basis of information or data that subsequently prove manifestly incorrect, if the Board of Directors determines that circumstances that would have constituted “cause” (as defined) existed while the remuneration remained unvested or due to the beneficiaries’ fraud or negligence (each, a “Recovery Event”).
    In particular, if a Recovery Event occurs within two years after the payment of cash or delivery of any shares in respect of the PSUs or RSUs, a participant will be required to repay the net amount received, as determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion.
Stock ownership
    In 2019 the Board of Directors determined stock ownership guidelines applicable to Ferrari’s directors and certain employees, recognizing the critical role that stock ownership has in aligning the interests, in particular, of Ferrari’s Executive Chairman, CEO, FLT members and senior leaders and key employees with those of the shareholders. As of the end of the 2021 financial year, covered employees should own Ferrari common shares in the following minimum amounts (as a multiple of net base salary):
2 The total annual remuneration of the CEO includes all remuneration components (such as fixed remuneration, variable remuneration in cash (bonus), the share-based portion of the remuneration (value of the share-based payment is determined at the time of allocation in line with the applicable regulations under IFRS), social premiums, pension, expense allowance, et cetera), as included in the (consolidated) financial statements on an IFRS basis.
3 The average annual remuneration of the employees is determined by dividing the total wage costs in the financial year (as included in the (consolidated) financial statements on an IFRS basis) by the average number of FTEs during the financial year. Hiring of external employees is taken into account on a pro rata basis, insofar as these are hired for at least three months during the financial year.

IncumbentShare Ownership Guideline
Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
6 times net base salary
Other FLT members
3 times net base salary
Other senior leaders
1.5 times net base salary

Other key employees
1 times net base salary
    The above listed covered employees are required to achieve the applicable ownership threshold within five years, through acquisitions of Ferrari common shares as a result of the vesting of PSUs or RSUs until the required ownership level has been met, excluding any shares sold to pay taxes in connection with the granting of those shares. In addition to the stock ownership guidelines, the Executive Chairman and the CEO are each required to retain one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of common stock issued, on a net, after-tax basis, upon vesting and settlement of any equity awards granted to such individual until the fifth anniversary of the grant date of such award other than in the event of death, termination of service due to total disability, approved leave of absence or retirement.
Scenario analysis
    On an annual basis, the non-executive directors, upon proposal of the Compensation Committee, examine the relationship between the performance criteria chosen and the possible outcomes for the variable remuneration of our executive directors (scenario analysis). To date, the non-executive directors believe the remuneration policy has proven effective in terms of establishing a correlation between Ferrari’s strategic goals and the chosen performance criteria, as the main key performance criteria of our executive directors’ long-term incentive plan (i.e. the TSR, EBITDA and Innovation Performance Factor), which represents a significant part of the Chairman’s and the CEO’s compensation package, supports both Ferrari’s business strategy and value creation for our shareholders. As specified above, in 2022 the non-financial criteria will be updated, replacing the Innovation Performance Factor with two ESG-related factors.
The Compensation Committee evaluates the mix of variable compensation linked to financial and non-financial performance, as well as shareholder returns, taking also into account the wages and employment conditions of our employees. Our incentive plans are based on peer and market benchmarked performance metrics.
    In the event that specific long-term threshold performance targets are not achieved, there will be no variable pay vesting or payout for executive directors for the relevant period.
    The following table and chart describe compensation levels that the Executive Chairman and the CEO could receive in 2022 (2021 has not been considered since less representative) under the compensation packages to be implemented and different scenarios in a calendar year, assuming a constant share price (i.e. no appreciation):

Fixed remunerationThis comprises base salary with effect from January 1, 2022. The Executive Chairman salary is €500,000 (starting from October 1, 2021) and the CEO annualized salary is €1,500,000.
Short-term Incentive PlanSubject to approval by the next Annual General Meeting, the compensation packages for 2022 for the Chairman and the CEO will include a short-term incentive plan with a target pay-opportunity equal to 100% of base salary and maximum pay-opportunity equal to 225% of base salary.
Long-term Incentive Plan
The new LTI Plan 2022-2024 will introduce significant changes as to the amount of PSUs and RSUs to be awarded to the executive directors (which will be awarded only with PSUs) and as to the metrics to which PSUs are linked.
Executive Chairman and CEO:
in case of failure to achieve any of the performance criteria the scenario assumes no award of PSUs;
in case of achievement of the targets for each of the performance criteria, the scenario assumes an award equal to target pay opportunity (200% of base salary);
in case of achievement of the maximum level of each performance criteria the scenario assumes the award equal to maximum pay opportunity (274% of base salary).

Remuneration policy for Non-Executive Directors
Remuneration of non-executive directors is approved by the Company’s shareholders and periodically reviewed by the Compensation Committee.
Remuneration of non-executive directors is fixed and not dependent on the Company’s financial results. Non-executive directors are not eligible for variable compensation and do not participate in any incentive plans.
The current annual remuneration for the non-executive directors (which was approved at the AGM, held on April 15, 2020) is shown in the table below:

Remuneration of other employees
Ferrari aims to provide a market-competitive and fair remuneration package for its workforce, in line with the remuneration policy and in order to better pursue the Company’s strategy and purpose and contribute to long-term value creation.
120



Furthermore, Ferrari operates a merit-based remuneration policy, not discriminating on the basis of gender, age, nationality, social status or cultural background. In 2020, Ferrari S.p.A. started an in-depth analysis on equal remuneration, which led, in July 2020, to the award of the Equal Salary Certificate for providing equal pay to men and women with the same qualifications and positions in the Company which has been maintained also in 2021. This award is a testament to the Company’s commitment to creating an inclusive and diverse working environment while fostering career development for all. Ferrari was the first Italian Company to receive this award The certification process included a detailed statistical analysis of compensation levels, which revealed that Ferrari is one of Europe’s companies successfully eliminating the gender pay gap. Ferrari sees this certification not as an end point but as a further stage of growth and an opportunity to implement tangible actions to ensure that everyone can pursue his own professional growth.

The same process was conducted in 2020 also for Ferrari North America Inc. which has been awarded with the Equal Salary Certification as well as Ferrari S.p.A. and maintains it in 2021.

2. Implementation of Remuneration Strategy in 2021
Introduction
    This section sets out the implementation of Ferrari’s remuneration strategy for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Chairman, Mr. John Elkann, asked not to receive any remuneration for the period during which he served as Interim CEO.

Compensation of the members of the FLT
    The compensation paid to or accrued during the year ended December 31, 2021 by Ferrari and its subsidiaries to the members of the FLT (excluding the CEO) amounted to €18.7 million in aggregate, €14.1 million for salary and other short-term benefits (which is linked to the FY 2021 performance and represents slightly more than the target set levels), €4.2 million for share-based compensation in relation to PSUs and RSUs awarded under the Group’s Equity Incentive Plans (2019-2021; 2020-2022; 2021-2023) and €0.4 million for the Group’s contributions to pension funds. The PSU and RSU awards will vest in March 2022, 2023 and 2024, subject to continued employment and, for the PSU awards, to the achievement of performance conditions related to TSR, EBITDA and Innovation, as described above. Given Ferrari’s third place positioning in the TSR ranking against the Peer Group (corresponding to the vesting of 100 per cent. of the target PSUs awarded) for the vesting of the Equity Incentive Plan 2016-2020, which covers the performance period from 2018 to 2020, ending at December 31, 2020, 37,082 PSUs and 19,812 RSUs had vested for FLT members.

Director and Officer Overlaps
There are overlaps among certain directors and officers of Stellantis (formerly FCA) and our directors and officers. These individuals owe duties both to us and to the other companies that they serve as officers and/or directors. This may raise certain conflicts of interest as, for example, these individuals review opportunities that may be appropriate or suitable for both Ferrari and such other companies, or business transactions are pursued in which both Ferrari and such other companies have an interest, such as Ferrari’s arrangement to supply engines for Maserati cars. For example, Mr. John Elkann our Chairman, is also the Chairman of Stellantis and the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Exor. At February 14, 2022, Exor held approximately 24.21 percent of our outstanding common shares and approximately 36.00 percent of the voting power in the Company, while it holds approximately 14.4 percent of the outstanding common shares in Stellantis, based on SEC filings. The percentages of ownership and voting power above are calculated based on the number of outstanding shares net of treasury shares. See “Risk Factors - Risks related to our Common Shares - We may have potential conflicts of interest with Stellantis and Exor and its related companies”.

D. Employees
    Human capital is a crucial factor in our success, building on our position as a global leader in the luxury performance car sector and creating long-term, sustainable value. To recognize excellence, encourage professional development and create equal opportunities, we adopt a number of initiatives, including our appraisal system to assess our middle-managers and white collar employees through performance management metrics; our talent management and succession planning, in addition to assessment plans for blue collars; training and skill-building initiatives; employee satisfaction and engagement surveys, including our so-called “Pit Stop” and “Pole Position” programs; and flexible work arrangements, commuting programs and a dedicated welfare program, Formula Benessere, which includes, among other programs, Formula Benessere Donna and Formula Benessere Junior (offering medical assistance to employees and their families) and Formula Estate Junior (offering Summer Campus to the children of employees).
    At December 31, 2021, we had a total of 4,609 employees, including 143 managers and senior managers. Of these, 4,337 were based at our Maranello facility, and 272 in offices around the world (including 25 managers and senior managers), mostly in North America and China.

Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions

A. Major Shareholders
Exor is our largest shareholder through its approximately 24.21 percent shareholding interest in our outstanding common shares (as of February 14, 2022). See “Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company”. As a result of the loyalty voting mechanism, Exor’s voting power is approximately 36.00 percent (as of February 14, 2022). In addition, as of February 14, 2022, Mr. Piero Ferrari holds approximately 10.30 percent of our outstanding common shares and, as a result of the loyalty voting mechanism, his voting power is approximately 15.31 percent. The percentages of ownership and voting power above are calculated based on the number of outstanding shares net of treasury shares.
Exor and Mr. Piero Ferrari informed us that they have entered into a shareholder agreement, summarized below under “—Shareholders’ Agreement”.
Exor resulted from a cross-border merger of its predecessor entity, Exor S.p.A. with and into Exor N.V. As a result of that merger, which was completed on December 11, 2016, all activities of Exor S.p.A. are continued by Exor under universal succession, including with respect to the holding of our shares. Exor is controlled by Giovanni Agnelli B.V. (“G.A.”), which holds 84.37 percent of its share capital, based on regulatory filings with the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (stichting Autoriteit Financiële Markten, the “AFM”). G.A. is a Dutch private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) with interests represented by shares, founded by Giovanni Agnelli and currently held by members of the Agnelli and Nasi families, descendants of Giovanni Agnelli, founder of Fiat. Its present principal business activity is to purchase, administer and dispose of equity interests in public and private entities and, in particular, to ensure the cohesion and continuity of the administration of its controlling equity interests. The managing directors of G.A., as of February 16, 2022, were John Elkann, Jeroen Preller, Florence Hinnen, Tiberto Brandolini d’Adda, Alessandro Nasi, Andrea Agnelli, Luca Ferrero de’ Gubernatis Ventimiglia and Benedetto Della Chiesa.
    Based on the information in Ferrari’s shareholder register, regulatory filings with the AFM and the SEC and other sources available to us, the following shareholders owned, directly or indirectly, in excess of three percent of the common shares holding voting rights of Ferrari, as of February 14, 2022:
ShareholderNumber of common shares
Percentage owned (1)
Exor N.V. (2)
44,435,28024.21 %
Piero Ferrari (2)
18,894,29510.30 %
BlackRock, Inc. (3)
10,708,3935.84 %
T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc (4)
7,423,1384.04 %
Other public shareholders102,037,18855.61 %
(1)The percentages of share capital set out in this table are calculated as the ratio of (i) the aggregate number of outstanding common shares beneficially owned by the shareholder to (ii) the total number of outstanding common shares (net of treasury shares) of Ferrari. These percentages may slightly differ from the percentages of share capital included in the public register held by the AFM of all notifications made pursuant to the disclosure obligations under chapter 5.3 of the Dutch Act on financial supervision (Wet op het financieel toezicht; the “AFS”), inter alia, because any shares held in treasury by Ferrari are included in the relevant denominators for purposes of the AFS disclosure obligations.
(2)Each of Exor and Piero Ferrari participate in the loyalty voting program of Ferrari. As of February 14, 2022, Exor owned 44,435,280 special voting shares and Mr. Ferrari owned 18,892,160 special voting shares. Therefore, as discussed above in this section, their voting power in Ferrari is higher than the percentage of common shares beneficially held as presented in this table.
(3)Based on filings with the SEC (Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G filed on February 3, 2022, File No. 005-89223), BlackRock, Inc. is a parent holding company or control person in accordance with Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(G) and, out of the common shares beneficially owned as set forth in the table, it has sole voting power over 9,871,147 common shares.
(4)Based on filings with the SEC (Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G filed on February 14, 2018, File No. 005-89223), T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. is an investment adviser registered under Section 203 of the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Based on subsequent filings with the SEC, out of the common shares beneficially owned as set forth in the table, T. Rowe Price associates, Inc. has sole voting power over 4,112,710 common shares.
Based on the information in Ferrari’s shareholder register and other sources available to us, as of February 14, 2022, approximately 63.8 million Ferrari common shares, or 32.9 percent of the outstanding Ferrari common shares, were held in the United States. As of the same date, approximately 1,924 record holders had registered addresses in the United States.
Shareholders’ Agreement
128


On December 23, 2015, Exor and Piero Ferrari entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement, which became effective at the completion of the Separation on January 3, 2016 (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”) and prior to the admission to listing and trading of the common shares of Ferrari on the MTA, now renamed Euronext Milan. Ferrari is not a party to the Shareholders’ Agreement and does not have any rights or obligations thereunder.

Pre-emption right in favor of Exor and right of first offer of Piero Ferrari
In the event that Piero Ferrari intends to transfer (in whole or in part) his Ferrari common shares or receives a third party offer for the acquisition of all or part of his Ferrari common shares, Exor will have the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the common shares Piero Ferrari intends to transfer on the terms of the original proposed transfer by Piero Ferrari or, in case the original proposed transfer was for no consideration, at market prices determined pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement.
In the event Exor intends to transfer (in whole or in part) its common shares to a third party, either solicited or unsolicited, Piero Ferrari will have the right to make a binding, unconditional and irrevocable all cash offer for the purchase of such common shares.
The foregoing will not apply in the case of transfers of Ferrari common shares: (i) by any party to the Shareholders’ Agreement, to a party that qualifies as a “Loyalty Transferee” (as defined in the Ferrari Articles of Association) of such party, (ii) by Exor, to any affiliate of G.A., to a successor in business of G.A. and to any affiliate of a successor in business of G.A., and (iii) by any party to the Shareholders’ Agreement that is an individual, to an entity wholly owned and controlled by that same party. In addition, the provisions regarding the pre-emption right in favor of Exor and right of first offer of Piero Ferrari shall not apply in relation to, and Piero Ferrari shall be free and allowed to carry out, market sales to third parties of his Ferrari common shares which in the aggregate do not exceed, during the whole period of validity of the Shareholders’ Agreement, 0.5 percent of the number of common shares owned by Piero Ferrari upon completion of the Separation.
Term
The Shareholders’ Agreement entered into force upon completion of the Separation on January 3, 2016 and provides that it shall remain in force until the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the Separation, provided that if neither of the parties to the Shareholders’ Agreement terminates the Shareholders’ Agreement within six months before the end of the initial term, then the Shareholders’ Agreement shall be renewed automatically for another five year term. Since neither of the parties to the Shareholders’ Agreement terminated it within six months before January 3, 2021, the Shareholders’ Agreement was automatically renewed for another five year term and, therefore, until January 3, 2026.

The Shareholders’ Agreement shall terminate and cease to have any effect as a result of the transfer of all the common shares owned by either Exor or Piero Ferrari to a third party.
Governing law and jurisdiction
    The Shareholders’ Agreement is governed by and must be interpreted according to the laws of the Netherlands. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with the Shareholders’ Agreement are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent court in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, without prejudice to the right of appeal and appeal to the Supreme Court.

Dividend Policy
Subject to the approval by the Shareholders at the 2022 Annual General Meeting, the Company intends to make a dividend distribution to the holders of common shares of Euro 1.362 per common share, corresponding to a total dividend distribution to shareholders of approximately Euro 250 million.
We intend to return capital to holders of common shares over time through a sustainable dividend policy designed to provide adequate returns to shareholders, while supporting growth and protecting our creditworthiness in order to facilitate access to external funding. We intend to pay 30 percent of our annual net profit by way of dividend in the coming years; however, the actual level of dividends will be subject to our earnings, cash balances, commitments, strategic plans and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant at the time of the dividend, including adjustments for income or costs that are significant in nature but expected to occur infrequently. For additional information on distribution of profits, refer to “Item 10B. Memorandum and Articles of Association”. Our dividend policy is subject to change in the future based on changes in statutory requirements, market trends, strategic developments, capital requirements and a number of other factors.
All issued and outstanding common shares will rank equally and will be eligible for any profit or other payment that may be declared on the common shares. Pursuant to our Articles of Association, holders of special voting shares are entitled to a minimum dividend, which is allocated to the special dividend reserve. A distribution from the special dividend reserve or the (partial) release of the special dividend reserve will require a prior proposal from the Board of Directors and a subsequent resolution of the meeting of holders of special voting shares. Ferrari does not intend to propose any distribution from the special dividend reserve.
For additional information on distribution of profits, refer to “Item 10.B. Memorandum and Articles of Association.”

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association
    A copy of the articles of association of our predecessor company has been filed as Exhibit 3.1 to Ferrari N.V.’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed on July 23, 2015.
    Our articles of association are identical in all material aspect to those of our predecessor company.
The Ferrari Shares, Articles of Association and Terms and Conditions of the Special Voting Shares
    Ferrari was incorporated as a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) under the laws of the Netherlands on September 4, 2015 under the name FE New N.V., in contemplation of the Merger, and was renamed Ferrari N.V. effective as of January 3, 2016, upon effectiveness of the Merger. Its official seat (statutaire zetel) is in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and its corporate address and principal place of business is located at Via Abetone Inferiore n. 4, I-41053 Maranello (MO), Italy. Ferrari is registered with the Dutch Trade Register of the Chamber of Commerce under number 64060977. Its telephone number is +39-0536-949111. The Company’s object, set forth in Article 3.1 of the Articles of Association, is to carry on, either directly or through wholly or partially-owned companies and entities, activities relating in whole or in any part to passenger and commercial vehicles, transport, mechanical engineering, energy, engines, capital machinery and equipment and related goods and propulsion, as well as any other manufacturing, commercial, financial or service activity.
Since incorporation Ferrari has had, and it intends to continue to have, its place of effective management in Italy. It will therefore be a tax resident of Italy under both Italian tax law and Article 4 of the Convention between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Republic of Italy for the avoidance of a double taxation with respect to taxes on income and on capital of 1980.
    Following is a summary of material information relating to the Ferrari common shares, including summaries of certain provisions of the Ferrari’s articles of association (the “Ferrari Articles of Association”), the terms and conditions in respect of the Ferrari special voting shares (the “Terms and Conditions”) and the applicable Dutch law provisions in effect at the date of this annual report. The summaries of the Ferrari Articles of Association and the Terms and Conditions as set forth in this annual report are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Ferrari Articles of Association, and Terms and Conditions.
Share Capital
The authorized share capital of Ferrari is seven million five hundred thousand Euro (€7,500,000), divided into three hundred seventy five million (375,000,000) Ferrari common shares, nominal value of one Euro cent (€0.01) per share and an equal number of special voting shares, nominal value of one Euro cent (€0.01) per share.
On February 9, 2018, Ferrari launched a share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to Euro 100 million in common shares, which was completed on November 27, 2018. On December 28, 2018, Ferrari launched the first tranche of a multi-year Euro 1.5 billion total share repurchase program expected to be executed by 2022 for the repurchase of up to Euro 150 million in common shares, which was completed on June 26, 2019. On July 1, 2019, Ferrari announced the launch of a
132

second tranche of the above mentioned share repurchase program, for the repurchase of up to Euro 200 million common shares. Such second tranche started on July 2, 2019 and was completed on November 12, 2019. On November 14, 2019, Ferrari announced the launch of a third tranche of the above mentioned share repurchase program, for the repurchase of up to Euro 200 million common shares. Such third tranche commenced on November 15, 2019 and was terminated on March 30, 2020. As of the same date, Ferrari also announced its decision to temporarily suspend its multi-year share repurchase program until further announcement. On March 11, 2021, Ferrari announced its intention to restart its multi-year share repurchase program and launched a fourth tranche of up to Euro 150 million. Such fourth tranche of repurchases was completed on September 30, 2021. On October 4, 2021, Ferrari launched a fifth tranche of the repurchase program of up to Euro 150 million, which is expected to be completed no later than March 31, 2022.
As of December 31, 2021, Ferrari’s common shares held in treasury amounted to 10,080,103. As of the same date, the Company held in treasury 3.92 percent of its total issued share capital including the common shares and the special voting shares. For additional information on the above-mentioned share repurchase program, refer to “Item 16.E. Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers”.
On February 26, 2019 the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 6,855,396 special voting shares with a nominal value of one Euro cent (€0.01) per share to be assigned to existing shareholders entitled to receive such special voting shares under the terms of the loyalty voting program.
A delegation of authority to the Board of Directors to authorize the issuance of common shares without pre-emptive rights enabled Ferrari to offer and sell newly issued common shares to investors free of pre-emptive rights for a period of five years from January 2, 2016 up to and including January 1, 2021. Under Dutch law, such authorization may not exceed a period of five years, but may be renewed by a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders for subsequent five-year periods at any time. Pursuant to the resolution of the Annual General Meeting held on April 16, 2020, the authorization was renewed for the period starting from January 2, 2021 up to and including October 15, 2021. Pursuant to the resolution of the Annual General Meeting held on April 15, 2021, the authorization has been further renewed for the period starting from April 15, 2021 up to and including October 14, 2022.
Ferrari common shares are registered shares represented by an entry in the share register of Ferrari. The Board of Directors may determine that, for the purpose of trading and transfer of shares on a foreign stock exchange, such share certificates shall be issued in such form as shall comply with the requirements of such foreign stock exchange. A register of shareholders is maintained by Ferrari in the Netherlands and a branch register is maintained in the United States on Ferrari’s behalf by the Transfer Agent, which serves as branch registrar and transfer agent.
Beneficial interests in Ferrari common shares that are traded on the NYSE are held through the book-entry system provided by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and are registered in Ferrari’s register of shareholders in the name of Cede & Co., as DTC’s nominee. Beneficial interests in the Ferrari common shares traded on the Euronext Milan are held through Monte Titoli S.p.A., the Italian central clearing and settlement system, as a participant in DTC.
Pursuant to the resolution of the 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on August 29, 2019, the Company cancelled all 3,902 special voting shares it previously held in treasury.
Directors
    Set forth below is a summary description of the material provisions of the Ferrari Articles of Association, relating to our directors. The summary does not restate the Ferrari Articles of Association in their entirety.
Ferrari’s directors serve on the Board of Directors for a term of approximately one year, such term ending on the day that the first annual general meeting of the shareholders is held in the following calendar year. Ferrari’s shareholders appoint the directors of the Board of Directors at a general meeting. Each director may be reappointed at any subsequent general meeting of shareholders. The general meeting of shareholders determines whether a director is an executive director or a non-executive director.
The Board of Directors is a one tier board and consists of three or more members, comprising both members having responsibility for the day-to-day management of Ferrari (executive directors) and members not having such day-to-day responsibility (non-executive directors). The tasks of the executive and non-executive directors in a one-tier board such as Ferrari’s Board of Directors may be allocated under or pursuant to the Ferrari Articles of Association, provided that the general meeting has stipulated whether each such director is appointed as executive or as non-executive director and
133


furthermore provided that the task to supervise the performance by the directors of their duties can only be performed by the non-executive directors. In addition, an executive director may not be appointed chairman of the board or delegated the task of establishing the remuneration of executive directors or nominating directors for appointment. Tasks that are not allocated fall within the power of the Board of Directors as a whole. Regardless of an allocation of tasks, all directors remain collectively responsible for the proper management and strategy of Ferrari (including supervision thereof in case of non-executive directors). The Board of Directors may determine that one or more directors can lawfully adopt board resolutions concerning matters belonging to his or their duties.
Ferrari has a policy in respect of the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors. With due observation of the remuneration policy, the Board of Directors may determine the remuneration for the directors in respect of the performance of their duties. The Board of Directors must submit to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders for its approval plans to award shares or the right to subscribe for shares. The policy was amended as approved by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on April 16, 2020 to implement changes necessary pursuant to the implementation of the EU Directive 2017/828 into Dutch law. The amended remuneration policy, as adopted by the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, builds upon the previous remuneration policy (as partially amended and as approved by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on April 14, 2017) and no material changes were made compared to the previous remuneration policy. In addition the amended policy will provide for the Board of Directors to issue stock ownership guidelines applicable to directors and employees.
Ferrari shall not grant the directors any personal loans or guarantees.
Loyalty Voting Program
In connection with the Separation, Ferrari issued special voting shares with a nominal value of one Euro cent (€0.01) per share, to FCA, Piero Ferrari and FCA shareholders holding FCA special voting shares prior to the Separation including Exor, in addition to Ferrari common shares.
As of February 14, 2022, Exor held approximately 36.00 percent of the voting power in the Company, Piero Ferrari held approximately 15.31 percent of the voting power in Ferrari and public shareholders held approximately 48.69 percent of the voting power in the Company. The percentages of voting power above are calculated based on the number of outstanding shares net of treasury shares. For more information on the Separation, see “Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company”.
Subject to meeting certain conditions, our common shares can be registered in our loyalty register (the “Loyalty Register”) and all such common shares may qualify as qualifying common shares (“Qualifying Common Shares”). The holder of Qualifying Common Shares is entitled to receive without consideration one special voting share in respect of each such Qualifying Common Share. Pursuant to the Terms and Conditions, and for so long as the Ferrari common shares remain in the Loyalty Register, such Ferrari common shares shall not be sold, disposed of, transferred, except in very limited circumstances (i.e., transfers to affiliates or to relatives through succession, donation or other transfers (defined in the Terms and Conditions as “Loyalty Transferee”), but a shareholder may create or permit to exist any pledge, lien, fixed or floating charge or other encumbrance over such Ferrari common shares, provided that the voting rights in respect of such Ferrari common shares and any corresponding special voting shares remain with such shareholder at all times. Ferrari’s shareholders who want to directly or indirectly sell, dispose of, trade or transfer such Ferrari common shares or otherwise grant any right or interest therein, or create or permit to exist any pledge, lien, fixed or floating charge or other encumbrance over such Ferrari common shares with a potential transfer of voting rights relating to such encumbrances will need to submit a de-registration request as referred to in the Terms and Conditions, in order to transfer the relevant Ferrari common shares to the regular trading system (the “Regular Trading System”) except that a Ferrari shareholder may transfer Ferrari common shares included in the Loyalty Register to a Loyalty Transferee (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) of such Ferrari shareholder without transferring such shares from the Loyalty Register to the Regular Trading System.
 
Ferrari’s shareholders who seek to qualify to receive special voting shares can also request to have their Ferrari common shares registered in the Loyalty Register. Upon registration in the Loyalty Register such shares will be eligible to be treated as Qualifying Common Shares, provided they meet the conditions more fully described under “—Terms and Conditions of the Special Voting Shares” below.
Notwithstanding the fact that Article 13 of the Ferrari Articles of Association permits the Board of Directors of Ferrari to approve transfers of special voting shares, the special voting shares cannot be traded and are transferable only in very limited circumstances (i.e., to a Loyalty Transferee described above, or to Ferrari for no consideration (om niet)).
134


Pursuant to Article 23 of the Ferrari Articles of Association, Ferrari shall maintain a special capital reserve to be credited against the share premium exclusively for the purpose of facilitating any issuance or cancellation of special voting shares. The special voting shares shall be issued and paid up against this special capital reserve.
The special voting shares have immaterial economic entitlements. Such economic entitlements are designed to comply with Dutch law but are immaterial for investors. The special voting shares carry the same voting rights as Ferrari common shares.
Section 10 of the Terms and Conditions include liquidated damages provisions intended to deter any attempt by holders to circumvent the terms of the special voting shares. Such liquidated damages provisions may be enforced by Ferrari by means of a legal action brought by Ferrari before competent courts of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In particular, a violation of the provisions of the Terms and Conditions concerning the transfer of special voting shares, Electing Common Shares (common shares registered in the Loyalty Register for the purpose of becoming Qualifying Common Shares in accordance with the Ferrari Articles of Association) and Qualifying Common Shares may lead to the imposition of liquidated damages. Because we expect the restrictions on transfers of the special voting shares to be effective in practice we do not expect the liquidated damages provisions to be used.
Pursuant to Section 12 of the Terms and Conditions, any amendment to the Terms and Conditions (other than merely technical, non-material amendments and unless such amendment is required to ensure compliance with applicable law or regulations or the listing rules of any securities exchange on which the Ferrari common shares are listed) may only be made with the approval of the general meeting of shareholders of Ferrari.
    At any time, a holder of Qualifying Common Shares or Electing Common Shares may request the de-registration of such shares from the Loyalty Register to enable free trading thereof in the Regular Trading System. Upon the de-registration from the Loyalty Register, such shares will cease to be Electing Common Shares or Qualifying Common Shares as the case may be and will be freely tradable and voting rights attached to the corresponding special voting shares will be suspended with immediate effect and such special voting shares shall be transferred to Ferrari for no consideration (om niet).
Terms and Conditions of the Special Voting Shares
    The Terms and Conditions apply to the issuance, allocation, acquisition, holding, repurchase and transfer of special voting shares in our share capital and to certain aspects of Electing Common Shares, Qualifying Common Shares and Ferrari common shares, which are or will be registered in the Loyalty Register.
Application for Special Voting Shares
A Ferrari shareholder may at any time elect to participate in the loyalty voting program by requesting that Ferrari register all or some of the number of Ferrari common shares held by such Ferrari shareholder in the Loyalty Register. Such election shall be effective and registration in the Loyalty Register shall occur as of the end of the calendar month during which the election is made. If such Ferrari common shares (i.e. Electing Common Shares) have been registered in the Loyalty Register (and are thus blocked from trading in the Regular Trading System) for an uninterrupted period of three years in the name of the same shareholder, the holder of such Ferrari common shares will be entitled to receive one Ferrari special voting share for each such Ferrari common share that has been registered. If at any moment in time such Ferrari common shares are de-registered from the Loyalty Register for whatever reason, the relevant shareholder loses its entitlement to hold a corresponding number of Ferrari special voting shares.
Withdrawal of Special Voting Shares
As described above, a holder of Qualifying Common Shares or Electing Common Shares may request that some or all of its Qualifying Common Shares or Electing Common Shares be de-registered from the Loyalty Register and if held outside the Regular Trading System, transfer such shares back to the Regular Trading System, which will allow such shareholder to freely trade its Ferrari common shares, as described below. From the moment of such request, the holder of Qualifying Common Shares shall be considered to have waived his rights to cast any votes associated with the Ferrari special voting shares which were issued and allocated in respect of such Qualifying Common Shares. Any such request would automatically trigger a mandatory transfer requirement pursuant to which the Ferrari special voting shares will be offered and transferred to Ferrari for no consideration in accordance with the Ferrari Articles of Association and the Terms and Conditions. Ferrari may continue to hold the special voting shares as treasury stock, but will not be entitled to vote any such
135


treasury stock. Alternatively, Ferrari may withdraw and cancel the special voting shares, as a result of which the nominal value of such shares will be allocated to the special capital reserves of Ferrari. Consequently, the loyalty voting feature will terminate as to the relevant Qualifying Common Shares being deregistered from the Loyalty Register. No shareholder required to transfer special voting shares pursuant to the Terms and Conditions shall be entitled to any consideration for such special voting shares and each shareholder expressly waives any rights in that respect as a condition to participation in the loyalty voting program.
Change of Control
A shareholder who is a holder of Qualifying Common Shares or Electing Common Shares must promptly notify the Agent and Ferrari upon the occurrence of a “change of control” as defined in the Ferrari Articles of Association, as described below. The change of control will trigger the de-registration of the relevant Electing Common Shares or Qualifying Common Shares or the relevant Ferrari common shares in the Loyalty Register. The voting rights attached to the special voting shares issued and allocated in respect of the relevant Qualified Common Shares will be suspended upon a direct or indirect change of control in respect of the relevant holder of such Qualifying Common Shares that are registered in the Loyalty Register.
    For the purposes of this section a “change of control” shall mean, in respect of any Ferrari shareholder that is not an individual (natuurlijk persoon), any direct or indirect transfer in one or a series of related transactions as a result of which (i) a majority of the voting rights of such shareholder, (ii) the de facto ability to direct the casting of a majority of the votes exercisable at general meetings of shareholders of such shareholder and/or (iii) the ability to appoint or remove a majority of the directors, executive directors or board members or executive officers of such shareholder or to direct the casting of a majority or more of the voting rights at meetings of the board of directors, governing body or executive committee of such shareholder has been transferred to a new owner, provided that no change of control shall be deemed to have occurred if (a) the transfer of ownership and/or control is an intra-group transfer under the same parent company, (b) the transfer of ownership and /or control is the result of the succession or the liquidation of assets between spouses or the inheritance, inter vivos donation or other transfer to a spouse or a relative up to and including the fourth degree or (c) the fair market value of the Qualifying Common Shares held by such shareholder represents less than twenty percent (20 percent) of the total assets of the Transferred Group at the time of the transfer and the Qualifying Common Shares held by such shareholder, in the sole judgment of the Company, are not otherwise material to the Transferred Group or the change of control transaction. “Transferred Group” shall mean the relevant shareholder together with its affiliates, if any, over which control was transferred as part of the same change of control transaction within the meaning of the definition of change of control.
Liability to Further Capital Calls
All of the outstanding Ferrari common shares and special voting shares are fully paid and non-assessable.
Additional Issuances and Rights of Preference
Issuance of Shares
The general meeting of shareholders of Ferrari (the “General Meeting”) has the authority to resolve on any issuance of shares, unless such authority has been delegated to the Board of Directors of Ferrari. In such a resolution, the General Meeting must determine the price and other terms of issuance. The Board of Directors of Ferrari may have the power to issue shares if it has been authorized to do so by the General Meeting, or pursuant to the Ferrari Articles of Association. Under Dutch law, such authorization may not exceed a period of five years, but may be renewed by a resolution of the General Meeting for subsequent five-year periods at any time. The Board of Directors has been designated by the Ferrari Articles of Association as the competent body to issue Ferrari common shares and special voting shares up to the maximum aggregate amount of the Ferrari authorized share capital for an initial period of five years from January 2, 2016, which may be extended by the General Meeting with additional consecutive periods of up to a maximum of five years each. Pursuant to the resolution of the Annual General Meeting held on April 16, 2020, the authorization was renewed for the period starting from January 2, 2021 up to and including October 15, 2021. Pursuant to the resolution of the Annual General Meeting held on April 15, 2021, the authorization has been further renewed for the period starting from April 15, 2021 up to and including October 14, 2022.
Ferrari will not be required to obtain approval from a General Meeting to issue shares pursuant to the exercise of a right to subscribe for shares that was previously granted pursuant to authority granted by the shareholders or pursuant to delegated authority by the Board of Directors. The General Meeting shall, for as long as any such designation of the Board of Directors of Ferrari for this purpose is in force, no longer has authority to decide on the issuance of shares.
136


Rights of Pre-emption
    Under Dutch law and the Ferrari Articles of Association, each Ferrari shareholder has a right of pre-emption in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of its shareholding upon the issuance of new Ferrari common shares (or the granting of rights to subscribe for Ferrari common shares). Exceptions to this right of pre-emption include the issuance of new Ferrari common shares (or the granting of rights to subscribe for common shares): (i) to employees of Ferrari or another member of its group pursuant to a stock compensation plan of Ferrari, (ii) against payment in kind (contribution other than in cash) and (iii) to persons exercising a previously granted right to subscribe for Ferrari common shares.
In the event of an issuance of special voting shares, shareholders shall not have any right of pre-emption.
The General Meeting may resolve to limit or exclude the rights of pre-emption upon an issuance of Ferrari common shares, which resolution requires approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast, if less than half of the issued share capital is represented at the General Meeting. The Ferrari Articles of Association or the General Meeting may also designate the Board of Directors to resolve to limit or exclude the rights of pre-emption in relation to the issuance of Ferrari common shares. Pursuant to Dutch law, the designation by the General Meeting may be granted to the Board of Directors for a specified period of time of not more than five years and only if the Board of Directors has also been designated or is simultaneously designated the authority to resolve to issue Ferrari common shares. The Board of Directors is designated in the Ferrari Articles of Association as the competent body to exclude or limit rights of pre-emption for an initial period of five years from January 2, 2016, which may be extended by the General Meeting with additional periods up to a maximum of five years per period. Pursuant to the resolutions of the Annual General Meeting held on April 16, 2020, the Board of Directors was authorized to issue Ferrari common shares and to limit or exclude the rights of pre-emption in relation to the issuance of Ferrari common shares for the period starting from January 2, 2021 up to and including October 15, 2021. Pursuant to the resolutions of the Annual General Meeting held on April 15, 2021, the Board of Directors has been further authorized to issue Ferrari common shares and to limit or exclude the rights of pre-emption in relation to the issuance of Ferrari common shares for the period starting from April 15, 2021 up to and including October 14, 2022.
Repurchase of Shares
Upon agreement with the relevant Ferrari shareholder, Ferrari may acquire its own shares at any time for no consideration (om niet), or subject to certain provisions of Dutch law and the Ferrari Articles of Association for consideration, if: (i) Ferrari’s shareholders’ equity less the payment required to make the acquisition does not fall below the sum of called-up and paid-in share capital and any statutory reserves, (ii) Ferrari would thereafter not hold a pledge over Ferrari common shares or together with subsidiaries hold Ferrari common shares with an aggregate nominal value exceeding 50 percent of the Ferrari’s issued share capital and (iii) the Board of Directors has been authorized to do so by the General Meeting.
    The acquisition of fully paid-up shares by Ferrari other than for no consideration (om niet) requires authorization by the General Meeting. Such authorization may be granted for a period not exceeding 18 months and shall specify the number of shares, the manner in which the shares may be acquired and the price range within which shares may be acquired. The authorization is not required for the acquisition of shares from employees of Ferrari or another member of its Group, under a scheme applicable to such employees and no authorization is required for repurchase of shares acquired in certain other limited circumstances in which the acquisition takes place by operation of law, such as pursuant to mergers or demergers. Such shares must be officially listed on a price list of an exchange.
At a General Meeting the shareholders may resolve to designate the Board of Directors of Ferrari as the competent body to resolve on Ferrari acquiring any Ferrari’s fully paid up Ferrari common shares other than for no consideration (om niet) for a period of up to 18 months.
Ferrari may, jointly with its subsidiaries, hold Ferrari shares in its own capital exceeding one-tenth of its issued capital for no more than three years after acquisition of such Ferrari shares for no consideration (om niet) or in certain other limited circumstances in which the acquisition takes place by operation of law, such as pursuant to mergers or demergers. Any Ferrari shares held by Ferrari in excess of the amount permitted shall transfer to all members of the Board of Directors jointly at the end of the last day of such three year period. Each member of the Board of Directors shall be jointly and severally liable to compensate Ferrari for the value of the Ferrari shares at such time, with interest at the statutory rate thereon from such time. The term Ferrari shares in this paragraph shall include depositary receipts for shares and shares in respect of which Ferrari holds a right of pledge.
137


No votes may be cast at a General Meeting on the Ferrari shares held by Ferrari or its subsidiaries. Also no voting rights may be cast at a General Meeting in respect of Ferrari shares for which depositary receipts have been issued that are owned by Ferrari. Nonetheless, the holders of a right of usufruct or pledge in respect of shares held by Ferrari and its subsidiaries in Ferrari’s share capital are not excluded from the right to vote on such shares, if the right of usufruct or pledge was granted prior to the time such shares were acquired by Ferrari or its subsidiaries. Neither Ferrari nor any of its subsidiaries may cast votes in respect of a share on which it or its subsidiaries holds a right of usufruct or pledge.
Reduction of Share Capital
Shareholders at a General Meeting have the power to cancel shares acquired by Ferrari or to reduce the nominal value of the shares. A resolution to reduce the share capital requires a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast at the General Meeting, if less than one-half of the issued capital is present or represented at the meeting. If more than one-half of the issued share capital is present or represented at the meeting, a simple majority of the votes cast at the General Meeting is required. Any proposal for cancellation or reduction of nominal value is subject to general requirements of Dutch law with respect to reduction of share capital.
Transfer of Shares
In accordance with the provisions of Dutch law, pursuant to Article 12 of the Ferrari Articles of Association, the transfer or creation of Ferrari shares or a right in rem thereon requires a deed intended for that purpose and save when Ferrari is a party to the transaction, written acknowledgment by Ferrari of the transfer.
The transfer of Ferrari common shares that have not been entered into a book-entry system will be effected in accordance with Article 12 of the Ferrari Articles of Association.
Common shares that have been entered into the DTC book-entry system will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC and transfers of beneficial ownership of shares held through DTC will be effected by electronic transfer made by DTC participants. Article 12 of the Ferrari Articles of Association does not apply to the trading of such Ferrari common shares on a regulated market or the equivalent thereof.
Transfers of shares held outside of DTC (including Monte Titoli S.p.A., as a participant in DTC) or another direct registration system maintained by Computershare, Ferrari’s transfer agent in New York (“Transfer Agent”) and not represented by certificates are effected by a stock transfer instrument and require the written acknowledgment by Ferrari. Transfer of registered certificates is effected by presenting and surrendering the certificates to the Transfer Agent. A valid transfer requires the registered certificates to be properly endorsed for transfer as provided for in the certificates and accompanied by proper instruments of transfer and stock transfer tax stamps for, or funds to pay, any applicable stock transfer taxes.
Ferrari common shares are freely transferable. As described below, special voting shares are generally not transferable.
At any time, a holder of Ferrari common shares that are registered in the Loyalty Register (i.e. Electing Common Shares or Qualifying Common Shares) wishing to transfer such Ferrari common shares other than in limited specified circumstances (i.e., transfers to affiliates or to relatives through succession, donation or other transfers) must first request a de-registration of such shares from the Loyalty Register and if held outside the Regular Trading System, transfer such common shares back into the Regular Trading System. After de-registration from the Loyalty Register, such Ferrari common shares no longer qualify as Electing Common Shares or Qualifying Common Shares, as a result, the holder of such Ferrari common shares is required to offer and transfer the special voting shares associated with such Ferrari common shares that were previously Qualifying Common Shares to Ferrari for no consideration (om niet) as described in detail in “—Loyalty Voting Program—Terms and Conditions of the Special Voting Shares—Withdrawal of Special Voting Shares.”
Annual Accounts and Independent Auditor
Ferrari’s financial year is the calendar year. Within four months after the end of each financial year, the Board of Directors will prepare the annual accounts, which must be accompanied by an annual report and an auditors’ report and will publish the accounts and annual report and will make those available for inspection at Ferrari’s corporate address. All members of the Board of Directors are required to sign the annual accounts and in case the signature of any member is missing, the reason for this must be stated. The annual accounts are to be adopted by the General Meeting at the annual general meeting of shareholders, at which meeting the members of the Board of Directors will be discharged from liability for
138


performance of their duties with respect to any matter disclosed in the annual accounts for the relevant financial year insofar this appears from the annual accounts. The annual accounts, the annual report and independent auditors’ report are made available through Ferrari’s website to the shareholders for review as from the day of the notice convening the annual general meeting of shareholders.
Payment of Dividends
Ferrari may make distributions to the shareholders and other persons entitled to the distributable profits only to the extent that its shareholders’ equity exceeds the sum of the paid-up and called up portion of the share capital and the reserves that must be maintained in accordance with Dutch law. No distribution of profits may be made to Ferrari itself for shares that Ferrari holds in its own share capital.

 
Ferrari may only make a distribution of dividends to the shareholders after the adoption of its statutory annual accounts demonstrating that such distribution is legally permitted. The Board of Directors may determine that other freely distributable distributions shall be made, in whole or in part, from Ferrari’s share premium reserve or from any other reserve, provided that payments from reserves may only be made to the shareholders that are entitled to the relevant reserve upon the dissolution of Ferrari and provided further that the policy of Ferrari on additions to reserves and dividends is duly observed.
Holders of special voting shares will not receive any dividend in respect of the special voting shares. However Ferrari maintains a separate dividend reserve for the special voting shares for the sole purpose of the allocation of the mandatory minimal profits that accrue to the special voting shares. This allocation establishes a reserve for the amount that would otherwise be paid. The special voting shares do not carry any entitlement to any other reserve. Any distribution out of the special dividend reserve or the partial or full release of such reserve requires a prior proposal from the Board of Directors and a subsequent resolution of the meeting of holders of special voting shares.
Insofar as the profits have not been distributed or allocated to the reserves, they may, by resolution of the General Meeting, be distributed as dividends on the Ferrari common shares only. The General Meeting may resolve, on the proposal of the Board of Directors, to declare and distribute dividends in U.S. Dollars. The Board of Directors may decide, subject to the approval of the General Meeting and the Board of Directors having been designated as the body competent to pass a resolution for the issuance of shares, that a distribution shall, wholly or partially, be made in the form of shares, or that shareholders shall be given the option to receive a distribution either in cash or in the form of shares.
The right to dividends and distributions will lapse if the dividends or distributions are not claimed within five years following the day after the date on which they first became payable. Any dividends or other distributions made in violation of the Ferrari Articles of Association or Dutch law will have to be repaid by the shareholders who knew or should have known, of such violation.
General Meetings and Voting Rights
Annual Meeting
An annual General Meeting must be held within six months from the end of Ferrari’s preceding financial year. The purpose of the annual General Meeting is to discuss, among other things, the annual report, the adoption of the annual accounts, allocation of profits (including the proposal to distribute dividends), release of members of the Board of Directors from liability for their management and supervision, and other proposals brought up for discussion by the Board of Directors.
General Meeting and Place of Meetings
Other General Meetings will be held if requested by the Board of Directors, the chairman of the Board of Directors, the chairperson or the chief executive officer, or by the written request (stating the exact subjects to be discussed) of one or more shareholders representing in aggregate at least 10 percent of the issued share capital of the company (taking into account the relevant provisions of Dutch law, and the Ferrari Articles of Association and the applicable stock exchange regulations). General Meetings will be held in Amsterdam or Haarlemmermeer (Schiphol Airport), the Netherlands.
Convocation Notice and Agenda
General Meetings can be convened by a notice, specifying the subjects to be discussed, the place and the time of the meeting and admission and participation procedure, issued at least 15 days before the meeting or 42 days if shares of Ferrari or depositary receipts issued with cooperation of Ferrari have been admitted to trading on the Euronext Milan or another
139


regulated market as referred to in Article 1:1 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act. All convocations, announcements, notifications and communications to shareholders and other persons entitled to attend the General Meeting must be made on the company’s corporate website in accordance with the relevant provisions of Dutch law. The agenda for a General Meeting may contain the items requested by one or more shareholders representing at least three percent of the issued share capital of the company, taking into account the relevant provisions of Dutch law. Requests must be made in writing, including the reasons for adding the relevant item on the agenda, and received by the Board of Directors at least 60 days before the day of the meeting.
Admission and Registration
Each shareholder entitled to vote, and each person holding a usufruct or pledge to whom the right to vote on the Ferrari common shares accrues, shall be authorized to attend the General Meeting, to address the General Meeting and to exercise its voting rights. The registration date of each General Meeting is the twenty-eighth day prior to the date of the General Meeting so as to establish which shareholders are entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting. Only holders of shares and other persons entitled to vote or attend the General Meeting, at such registration date are entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting. The convocation notice for the meeting shall state the registration date and the manner in which the persons entitled to attend the General Meeting may register and exercise their rights.
Those entitled to attend a General Meeting may be represented at a General Meeting by a proxy authorized in writing. The requirement that a proxy must be in written form is also fulfilled when it is recorded electronically.
Members of the Board of Directors have the right to attend a General Meeting. In these General Meetings they have an advisory role.
Voting Rights
Each Ferrari common share and each special voting share confers the right on the holder to cast one vote at a General Meeting. Resolutions are passed by a simple majority of the votes cast, unless Dutch law or the Ferrari Articles of Association prescribes a larger majority. Under Dutch law and/or the Ferrari Articles of Association, the following matters require at least two-thirds of the votes cast at a meeting if less than half of the issued share capital is present or represented:
a resolution to reduce the issued share capital;
a resolution to amend the Ferrari Articles of Association;
a resolution to restrict or exclude rights of pre-emption;
a resolution to authorize the Board of Directors to restrict or exclude shareholder rights of pre-emption;
a resolution to enter into a legal merger or a legal demerger; or
a resolution to dissolve Ferrari.
    Under Dutch law, a resolution to adopt the remuneration policy requires three-fourths of the votes validly cast, unless the Ferrari Articles of Association include a lower threshold which could be inserted in the Ferrari Articles of Association through a resolution of the General Meeting pursuant to a prior proposal of the Board of Directors. Such a resolution to amend the Ferrari Articles of Association must be approved by a vote of a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast if less than one-half of the issued share capital is present or represented at such General Meeting and a simple majority vote if one-half or more than one-half of the issued share capital is present or represented at such General Meeting.
Limitations on rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders
    There are no limitations imposed by Dutch law or by the Ferrari Articles of Association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or vote Ferrari common shares.
Shareholders’ Votes on Certain Transactions
Any important change in the identity or character of Ferrari must be approved by the General Meeting, including (i) the termination transfer to a third party of the business of Ferrari or practically the entire business of Ferrari; (ii) the entry into or breaking off of any long-term cooperation of Ferrari or a subsidiary with another legal entity or company or as a fully
140


liable partner of a general partnership or limited partnership, where such entry into or breaking off is of far-reaching importance to Ferrari; and (iii) the acquisition or disposal by Ferrari or a subsidiary of an interest in the capital of a company with a value of at least one-third of Ferrari’s assets according to the consolidated statement of financial position with explanatory notes included in the last adopted annual accounts of Ferrari.
 
Amendments to the Ferrari Articles of Association, including Variation of Rights
A resolution of the General Meeting to amend the Ferrari Articles of Association or to wind up Ferrari may be approved only if proposed by the Board of Directors and must be approved by a vote of a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast if less than one-half of the issued share capital is present or represented at such General Meeting.
The rights of shareholders may be changed only by amending the Ferrari Articles of Association in compliance with Dutch law.
Dissolution and Liquidation
The General Meeting may resolve to dissolve Ferrari, upon a proposal of the Board of Directors thereto. A majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast shall be required if less than one-half of the issued capital is present or represented at the meeting. In the event of dissolution, Ferrari will be liquidated in accordance with Dutch law and the Ferrari Articles of Association and the liquidation shall be arranged by the members of the Board of Directors, unless the General Meeting appoints other liquidators. During liquidation, the provisions of the Ferrari Articles of Association will remain in force as long as possible.
If Ferrari is dissolved and liquidated, whatever remains of Ferrari’s equity after all its debts have been discharged shall first be applied to distribute the aggregate balance of share premium reserves and other reserves (other than the special dividend reserve), to holders of Ferrari common shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of the Ferrari common shares held by each holder; secondly, from any balance remaining, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the nominal value of the Ferrari common shares will be distributed to the holders of Ferrari common shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of Ferrari common shares held by each of them; thirdly, from any balance remaining, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the special voting shares dividend reserve will be distributed to the holders of special voting shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of the special voting shares held by each of them; fourthly, from any balance remaining, the aggregate amount of the nominal value of the special voting shares will be distributed to the holders of special voting shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of the special voting shares held by each of them; and, lastly, any balance remaining will be distributed to the holders of Ferrari common shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of Ferrari common shares held by each of them.
Liability of Directors
Under Dutch law, the management of a company is a joint undertaking and each member of the Board of Directors can be held jointly and severally liable to Ferrari for damages in the event of improper or negligent performance of their duties. Further, members of the Board of Directors can be held liable to third parties based on tort, pursuant to certain provisions of the Dutch Civil Code. All directors are jointly and severally liable for failure of one or more co-directors. An individual director is only exempted from liability if he proves that he cannot be held seriously culpable for the mismanagement and that he has not been negligent in seeking to prevent the consequences of the mismanagement. In this regard a director may, however, refer to the allocation of tasks between the directors. In certain circumstances, directors may incur additional specific civil and criminal liabilities.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under Dutch law, indemnification provisions may be included in a company’s articles of association. Under the Ferrari Articles of Association, Ferrari is required to indemnify its directors, officers, former directors, former officers and any person who may have served at Ferrari’s request as a director or officer of another company in which Ferrari owns shares or of which Ferrari is a creditor who were or are made a party or are threatened to be made a party or are involved in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative (each a “Proceeding”), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, against any and all liabilities, damages, reasonable and documented expenses (including reasonably incurred and substantiated attorney’s fees), financial effects of judgments, fines, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages) and amounts paid in settlement in connection with such Proceeding by any of them. Notwithstanding the
141


above, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which any of the above-mentioned indemnified persons shall be adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such person’s duty to Ferrari. This indemnification by Ferrari is not exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled otherwise. Ferrari has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the members of the Board of Directors and certain other officers, substantially in line with that purchased by similarly situated companies.
Dutch Corporate Governance Code
The Dutch Corporate Governance Code contains principles and best practice provisions that regulate relations between the board and the shareholders (including the General Meeting). The Dutch Corporate Governance Code is divided into five chapters which address the following topics: (i) long-term value creation; (ii) effective management and supervision; (iii) remuneration; (iv) the general meeting; and (v) one-tier governance structure.
Dutch companies whose shares are listed on a government-recognized stock exchange, such as the NYSE, are required under Dutch law to disclose in their annual reports whether or not they apply the provisions of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code and, in the event that they do not apply a certain provision, to explain the reasons why they have chosen to deviate.
Ferrari acknowledges the importance of good corporate governance and supports the best practice provisions of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. Therefore, Ferrari intends to comply with the relevant best practice provisions of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code except as may be noted from time to time in Ferrari’s annual reports.
The Dutch Corporate Governance Code has been revised in December 2016 and the revised Dutch Corporate Governance Code entered into force on January 1, 2018, being applicable retroactively as from the financial year 2017. Consequently, Ferrari has reported in 2018 regarding its application of the revised Dutch Corporate Governance Code with respect to the financial year 2017.
Disclosure of Holdings under Dutch Law
Home member state for purposes of the EU Transparency Directive
The Netherlands is Ferrari’s home member state for the purposes of the EU Transparency Directive (Directive 2004/109/EC, as amended). As of the listing of the Ferrari common shares on Euronext Milan, we are subject to financial and other reporting obligations under the Dutch act on Financial Supervision (“AFS”) and the Dutch Financial Reporting Supervision Act (Wet toezicht financiële verslaggeving), which both implement the EU Transparency Directive in the Netherlands.
Disclosure of information
Ferrari is required to publish its annual report (consisting of the audited annual accounts, the annual report and the responsibility statement) within four months after the end of each financial year and its half-yearly figures within three months after the end of the first six months of each financial year.
Shareholder disclosure and reporting obligations
    As a result of the listing of the Ferrari common shares on the Euronext Milan, chapter 5.3 of the AFS applies, pursuant to which any person who, directly or indirectly, acquires or disposes of an actual or potential capital interest and/or actual or potential voting rights in Ferrari must promptly give written notice to the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (stichting Autoriteit Financiële Markten, the “AFM”) of such acquisition or disposal by means of a standard form if, as a result of such acquisition or disposal, the percentage of capital interest and/or voting rights held by such person reaches, exceeds or falls below the following thresholds: 3 percent, 5 percent, 10 percent, 15 percent, 20 percent, 25 percent, 30 percent, 40 percent, 50 percent, 60 percent, 75 percent and 95 percent.
For the purpose of calculating the percentage of capital interest or voting rights, the following interests must, inter alia, be taken into account: (i) shares and/or voting rights directly held (or acquired or disposed of) by any person, (ii) shares and/or voting rights held (or, acquired or disposed of) by such person’s controlled entities or by a third party for such person’s account, (iii) voting rights held (or acquired or disposed of) by a third party with whom such person has concluded an oral or written voting agreement, (iv) voting rights acquired pursuant to an agreement providing for a temporary transfer of
142


voting rights in consideration for a payment, and (v) shares which such person, or any controlled entity or third party referred to above, may acquire pursuant to any option or other right to acquire shares.
As a consequence of the above, special voting shares must be added to Ferrari common shares for the purposes of the above thresholds.
    Controlled entities (within the meaning of the AFS) do not themselves have notification obligations under the AFS as their direct and indirect interests are attributed to their (ultimate) parent. If a person who has a three percent or larger interest in Ferrari’s share capital or voting rights ceases to be a controlled entity it must immediately notify the AFM and all notification obligations under the AFS will become applicable to such former controlled entity.
Special rules apply to the attribution of shares and/or voting rights which are part of the property of a partnership or other form of joint ownership. A holder of a pledge or right of usufruct in respect of shares can also be subject to notification obligations, if such person has, or can acquire, the right to vote on the shares. The acquisition of (conditional) voting rights by a pledgee or beneficial owner may also trigger notification obligations as if the pledgee or beneficial owner were the legal holder of the shares and/or voting rights.
Furthermore, when calculating the percentage of capital interest, a person is also considered to be in possession of shares if (i) such person holds a financial instrument the value of which is (in part) determined by the value of the shares or any distributions associated therewith and which does not entitle such person to acquire any shares, (ii) such person may be obliged to purchase shares on the basis of an option, or (iii) such person has concluded another contract whereby such person acquires an economic interest comparable to that of holding a share.
If a person’s capital interest and/or voting rights reaches, exceeds or falls below the above-mentioned thresholds as a result of a change in Ferrari’s issued and outstanding share capital or voting rights, such person is required to make a notification not later than on the fourth trading day after the AFM has published Ferrari’s notification as described below.
    Following the implementation of Directive 2013/50/EU into the AFS, every holder of three percent more of the issued and outstanding share capital or voting rights whose interest has changed compared to his most recent notification, and which holder knows or should know that pursuant to this change his interest reaches or crosses a threshold as a result of certain acts (as described above and including the exchange of a financial instrument or a contract (pursuant to which the holder is deemed to have issued and outstanding shares or voting rights at his disposal)), must notify the AFM of this change.
Ferrari is required to notify the AFM promptly of any change of one percent or more in its issued and outstanding share capital or voting rights since a previous notification. Other changes in Ferrari’s issued and outstanding share capital or voting rights must be notified to the AFM within eight days after the end of the quarter in which the change occurred.
In addition to the above described notification obligations pertaining to capital interest or voting rights, pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 236/2012, as amended, notification must be made of any net short position of 0.2% in the issued share capital of Ferrari, and of every subsequent 0.1% above this threshold. Notifications starting at 0.5% and every subsequent 0.1% above this threshold will be made public via the short selling register of the AFM. Furthermore, gross short positions shall be notified in the event that a threshold is reached, exceeded or fallen below. With regard to gross short positions, the same disclosure thresholds as for holders of capital interests and/or voting rights apply.
Furthermore, each member of the Board of Directors must notify the AFM:
within two weeks after his/her appointment of the number of shares he/she holds and the number of votes he/she is entitled to cast in respect of Ferrari’s issued and outstanding share capital, and
subsequently of each change in the number of shares he/she holds and of each change in the number of votes he/she is entitled to cast in respect of Ferrari’s issued and outstanding share capital, immediately after the relevant change.
    The AFM keeps a public register of all notifications made pursuant to these disclosure obligations and publishes any notification received which can be accessed via www.afm.nl. The notifications referred to in this paragraph should be made in writing by means of a standard form or electronically through the notification system of the AFM.
143


Non-compliance with these disclosure obligations is an economic offense and may lead to criminal prosecution. The AFM may impose administrative penalties for non-compliance, and the publication thereof. In addition, a civil court can impose measures against any person who fails to notify or incorrectly notifies the AFM of matters required to be notified. A claim requiring that such measures be imposed may be instituted by Ferrari and/or by one or more shareholders who alone or together with others represent at least three percent of the issued and outstanding share capital of Ferrari or are able to exercise at least three percent of the voting rights. The measures that the civil court may impose include:
an order requiring appropriate disclosure;
suspension of the right to exercise the voting rights for a period of up to three years as determined by the court;
voiding a resolution adopted by the General Meeting, if the court determines that the resolution would not have been adopted but for the exercise of the voting rights of the person with a duty to disclose, or suspension of a resolution adopted by the general meeting of shareholders until the court makes a decision about such voiding; and
an order to refrain, during a period of up to five years as determined by the court, from acquiring shares and/or voting rights in Ferrari. Shareholders are advised to consult with their own legal advisers to determine whether the disclosure obligations apply to them.
Shareholders are advised to consult with their own legal advisers to determine whether the disclosure obligations apply to them.
Mandatory Bid Requirement
Under Dutch law any person, acting alone or in concert with others, who, directly or indirectly, acquires 30 percent or more of Ferrari’s voting rights will be obliged to launch a public offer for all outstanding shares in Ferrari’s share capital. An exception is made for shareholders who, whether alone or acting in concert with others, had an interest of at least 30 percent of Ferrari’s voting rights before the shares were first listed on the MTA, now renamed Euronext Milan, and who still maintained such an interest after such first listing. Immediately after the first listing of Ferrari common shares on the MTA, now renamed Euronext Milan, Exor held more than 30 percent of Ferrari’s voting rights. Therefore Exor’s interest in Ferrari was grandfathered and the exception that applies to it will continue to apply to it for as long as its holding of shares represents over 30 percent of Ferrari’s voting rights.
Dutch Financial Reporting Supervision Act
    On the basis of the Dutch Financial Reporting Supervision Act (Wet toezicht financiële verslaggeving), or the FRSA, the AFM supervises the application of financial reporting standards by, amongst others, companies whose official seat is in the Netherlands and whose securities are listed on a regulated market within the EU or in a non-EU country on a system similar to a regulated market.
    Pursuant to the FRSA, the AFM has an independent right to (i) request an explanation from Ferrari regarding its application of the applicable financial reporting standards and (ii) recommend to us the making available of further explanations. If we do not comply with such a request or recommendation, the AFM may request that the Enterprise Chamber order us to (i) make available further explanations as recommended by the AFM, (ii) provide an explanation of the way we have applied the applicable financial reporting standards to our financial reports or (iii) prepare our financial reports in accordance with the Enterprise Chamber’s instructions.
Compulsory Acquisition
Pursuant to article 2:92a of the Dutch Civil Code (“DCC”), a shareholder who, for its own account, holds at least 95 percent of the issued share capital of Ferrari may institute proceedings against the other shareholders jointly for the transfer of their shares to it. The proceedings are held before the Dutch Enterprise Chamber and can be instituted by means of a writ of summons served upon each of the minority shareholders in accordance with the provisions of the Dutch Code of Civil Procedure. The Enterprise Chamber may grant the claim for the squeeze-out in relation to all minority shareholders and will determine the price to be paid for the shares, if necessary after appointment of one or three expert(s) who will offer an opinion to the Enterprise Chamber on the value to be paid for the shares of the minority shareholders. Once the order to transfer becomes final before the Enterprise Chamber, the person acquiring the shares must give written notice of the date and place of payment and the price to the holders of the shares to be acquired whose addresses are known to it. Unless the
144


addresses of all of them are known to it, it must also publish the same in a Dutch daily newspaper with a national circulation. A shareholder can only appeal against the judgment of the Enterprise Chamber before the Dutch Supreme Court.
In addition, pursuant to article 2:359c of the DCC, an offeror under a public offer is also entitled to start a squeeze out procedure, within three months after the public offer, if following the public offer it holds at least 95% of the issued share capital of Ferrari representing at least 95% of the total voting rights. In the event of a mandatory offer, the mandatory offer price is in principle deemed to be a reasonable price, which has to be accepted by minority shareholders. In the event of a voluntary public offer, the offer price is considered reasonable if at least 90% of the shares have been acquired under the public offer.
Pursuant to article 2:359d of the DCC, if the offeror has acquired at least 95% of the issued share capital of Ferrari representing at least 95% of the total voting rights, each remaining minority shareholder is entitled to demand a squeeze out. This procedure must be initiated with the Enterprise Chamber within three months after the end of the period for tendering Shares in the public offer. With regard to the price per share to be paid by the majority Shareholder, the same procedure as for squeeze out proceedings initiated by the offeror, as set out in the previous paragraph, applies.
Disclosure of Trades in Listed Securities
Disclosure under Dutch Law
Pursuant to the AFS and the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (the “Market Abuse Regulation”), each of the members of the Board of Directors and any other person discharging managerial responsibilities within Ferrari and who in that capacity is authorized to make decisions affecting the future developments and business prospects of Ferrari and who has regular access to inside information relating, directly or indirectly, to Ferrari (each, an “Insider”) must notify the AFM of all transactions, conducted or carried out for his/her own account, relating to Ferrari common shares, special voting shares or financial instruments, the value of which is (in part) determined by the value of Ferrari common shares or special voting shares.
In addition, persons who are closely associated with members of the Board of Directors or any of the other Insiders must notify the AFM of all transactions conducted for their own account relating to Ferrari’s shares or financial instruments, the value of which is (in part) determined by the value of Ferrari’s shares. The Market Abuse Regulation designates the following categories of persons: (i) the spouse or any partner considered by applicable law as equivalent to the spouse, (ii) dependent children, (iii) other relatives who have shared the same household for at least one year at the relevant transaction date, and (iv) any legal person, trust or partnership, among other things, whose managerial responsibilities are discharged by a member of the Board of Directors or any other Insider or by a person referred to under (i), (ii) or (iii) above.
The AFM must be forthwith notified of transactions effected in either Ferrari’s shares or financial instruments, the value of which is (in part) determined by the value of Ferrari’s shares, following the transaction date by means of a standard form. Notifications under the Market Abuse Regulation may however be postponed until the date that the value of the transactions carried out on a person’s own account, together with the transactions carried out by the persons associated with that person, reaches or exceeds the amount of €5,000 in the calendar year in question. The AFM keeps a public register of all notifications made pursuant to the AFS and the Market Abuse Regulation.
Ferrari is required to make inside information public. Inside information is precise information directly or indirectly relating to the issuer or the trade in its securities which has not yet been made public and publication of which could significantly affect the trading price of the securities. Ferrari must also provide the CONSOB with this inside information at the time of publication. Furthermore, Ferrari must without delay publish the inside information on its website and keep it available on Ferrari’s website for at least five years.
It is prohibited for any person to make use of inside information by conducting, effecting or attempting to conduct or effect a transaction in relevant financial instruments. In addition, it is prohibited for any person to pass on inside information relating to Ferrari or the trade in its securities to a third party or to recommend or induce, on the basis of inside information, any person to conduct a transaction in securities of Ferrari. Furthermore, it is prohibited for any person to manipulate or attempt to manipulate the market, for instance by conducting transactions which could lead to an incorrect or misleading signal of the supply of, the demand for or the price of the securities. The provisions of the Market Abuse Regulation concerning insider trading and manipulation of the market are self-executing and immediately applicable Italian law.
145


Moreover, on October 2016 CONSOB started a process for the review (in light of the Market Abuse Regulation) of certain regulatory provisions contained in the Issuers’ Regulation no. 11971/1999.
    Non-compliance with these reporting obligations could lead to criminal penalties, administrative fines and cease-and-desist orders (and the publication thereof), imprisonment or other sanctions.
Shareholder Disclosure and Reporting Obligations under U.S. Law
Holders of Ferrari shares are subject to certain U.S. reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) for shareholders owning more than 5 percent of any class of equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Among the reporting requirements are disclosure obligations intended to inform the market of significant accumulations of shares that may lead to a change of control of an issuer.
If Ferrari were to fail to qualify as a foreign private issuer in the future, Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act would require Ferrari’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of Ferrari’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership of, and transactions in, Ferrari’s equity securities with the SEC. Such directors, executive officers and ten percent stockholders would also be required to furnish Ferrari with copies of all Section 16 reports they file.
Disclosure Requirements under Italian law
Summarized below are the most significant requirements to be complied with by Ferrari in connection with the admission to listing of Ferrari common shares on the Euronext Milan. The breach of the obligations described below may result in the application of fines and criminal penalties (including, for instance, those provided for insider trading and market manipulation). Further requirements may be imposed by CONSOB and/or Borsa Italiana as a result of the listing of Ferrari common shares on the Euronext Milan.
In particular, the following main disclosure obligations provided for by the Legislative Decree no. 58/1998, or the Italian Financial Act, effective as of the date of this document shall apply to Ferrari, article 92 (equal treatment principle), article 114 (information to be provided to the public), article 114-bis (information to be provided to the market concerning the allocation of financial instruments to corporate officers, employees and collaborators), article 115 (information to be disclosed to CONSOB) and article 180 and the following (relating to insider trading and market manipulation). In addition to the above, the applicable provisions set forth under the market rules (including those relating to the timing for the payment of dividends) shall apply to Ferrari.
Disclosure of Inside Information
Pursuant to the Market Abuse Regulation, Ferrari shall disclose to the public, without delay, any inside information which: (i) is of a precise nature, (ii) has not been made public, (iii) relates, directly or indirectly, to Ferrari or Ferrari’s common shares, and (iv) if it were made public, would be likely to have a significant effect on the prices of Ferrari’s common shares or on the price of related derivative financial instruments (the “Inside Information”).
In this regard, Inside Information shall be deemed to be of a precise nature if: (a) it indicates a set of circumstances which exists or which may reasonably be expected to come into existence, or an event which has occurred or which may reasonably be expected to occur and (b) it is specific enough to enable a conclusion to be drawn as to the possible effect of that set of circumstances or events on the prices of the financial instruments (i.e., Ferrari’s common shares) or the related derivative financial instruments.
The above disclosure requirement shall be complied with through the publication of a press release by Ferrari, in accordance with the modalities set forth under the Market Abuse Regulation, Dutch and Italian law, disclosing to the public the relevant Inside Information. The provisions of the MAR concerning the disclosure of inside information are self-executing and immediately applicable under Italian law.
Under specific circumstances, CONSOB may at any time request: (a) Ferrari to disclose to the public specific information or documentation where deemed appropriate or necessary or alternatively (b) to be provided with specific information or documentation. For this purpose, CONSOB has wide powers to, among other things, carry out inspections
146


or request information to the members of the managing board, the members of the supervisory board or to the external auditor.
Ferrari shall publish and transmit to CONSOB any information disseminated in any non-EU-countries where Ferrari’s common shares are listed (i.e., the United States), if this information is significant for the purposes of the evaluation of Ferrari’s common shares listed on the Euronext Milan.
Insiders’ Register
    Pursuant to the Market Abuse Regulation, Ferrari and its subsidiaries, as well as persons acting on their behalf or for their account, shall draw up, and keep promptly updated, a list of persons who, in the exercise of their employment, profession or duties, have access to Inside Information. Ferrari shall provide such list to the competent authority at its request.
Public Tender Offers
    Certain rules provided for under Italian law with respect to both voluntary and mandatory public tender offers shall apply to any offer launched for Ferrari’s common shares. In particular, among other things, the provisions concerning the tender offer price, the content of the offer document and the disclosure of the tender offer will be subject to the supervision by CONSOB and Italian law.
Election and Removal of Directors
    The Ferrari Articles of Association provide that the Board of Directors shall be composed of three or more members.
    Directors are appointed by a simple majority of the votes validly cast at a General Meeting. The General Meeting may at any time suspend or dismiss any director.

C. Material Contracts
    For a description of Ferrari’s equity incentive plans please see Item 6.B. “Compensation”.

D. Exchange Controls
    Under Dutch law, there are no exchange control restrictions on investments in, or payments on, the Ferrari common shares. There are no special restrictions in the Ferrari Articles of Association or Dutch law that limit the right of shareholders who are not citizens or residents of the Netherlands to hold or vote the Ferrari common shares.

E. Taxation
Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
This section describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning Ferrari common shares and special voting shares. It applies solely to U.S. holders (as defined below) that hold common shares or special voting shares of Ferrari as capital assets. This section does not apply to holders subject to special rules, including:
a dealer in securities or foreign currencies,
a regulated investment company,
a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings,
a tax-exempt organization,
a bank, financial institution, or insurance company,
a person liable for the alternative minimum tax,
a person that actually or constructively owns 10 percent or more, by vote or value, of Ferrari,
a person that holds common shares or special voting shares of Ferrari as part of a straddle or a hedging, conversion, or other risk reduction transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
a person that acquired common shares or special voting shares of Ferrari pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, or
147



a person whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar.
This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations, published rulings and court decisions, as well as on applicable tax treaties, all as of the date hereof. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.
If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the tax treatment of the partnership. A partner in an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holding shares should consult its tax advisors with regard to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the ownership of Ferrari common shares.
Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state and local and foreign and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of Ferrari common shares in their particular circumstances.
For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of common shares of Ferrari that is:
an individual that is a citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized under the laws of the United States;
an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
a trust if (i) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) the trust has made a valid election under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
Taxation of Dividends
Under the U.S. federal income tax laws, and subject to the discussion of PFIC taxation below, a U.S. holder must include in its gross income the gross amount of any dividend paid by Ferrari to the extent of its current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Dividends will be taxed as ordinary income to the extent that they are paid out of Ferrari’s current or accumulated earnings and profits. Dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. holder by certain “qualified foreign corporations” that constitute qualified dividend income are taxable to the holder at the preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains provided that the holder holds the shares for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date and meets other holding period requirements. For this purpose, common shares of Ferrari are treated as stock of a “qualified foreign corporation” if Ferrari is eligible for the benefits of an applicable comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States or if such stock is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. The common shares of Ferrari are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and Ferrari expects to be eligible for the benefits of such a treaty. Accordingly, subject to the discussion of PFIC taxation below, dividends Ferrari pays with respect to the shares are expected to constitute qualified dividend income, assuming the holding period requirements are met. However, no assurance can be given that the common shares of Ferrari will be treated as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or that Ferrari will qualify for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States.
A U.S. holder must include any foreign tax withheld from the dividend payment in this gross amount even though the holder does not in fact receive the amount withheld. The dividend is taxable to a U.S. holder when the U.S. holder receives the dividend, actually or constructively.
The dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations.
Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. holder’s basis in Ferrari common shares, causing a reduction in the U.S. holder’s adjusted basis in Ferrari common shares, and thereafter as capital gain.
Subject to certain limitations, any non-U.S. tax withheld and paid over to a non-U.S. taxing authority is eligible for credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability except to the extent a refund of the tax withheld is available to the U.S. holder under non-U.S. tax law or under an applicable tax treaty. The amount allowed to a U.S. holder as a credit is
148



limited to the amount of the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability that is attributable to income from sources outside the U.S. and is computed separately with respect to different types of income that the U.S. holder receives from non-U.S. sources. Subject to the discussion below regarding Section 904(h) of the Code, dividends paid by Ferrari will be foreign source income and will generally be “passive” income for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to a U.S. holder.
Under Section 904(h) of the Code, dividends paid by a foreign corporation that is treated as 50 percent or more owned, by vote or value, by U.S. persons may be treated as U.S. source income (rather than foreign source income) for foreign tax credit purposes, to the extent the foreign corporation earns U.S. source income, unless such corporation has less than 10 percent of applicable earnings and profits attributable to sources within the U.S. In certain circumstances, U.S. holders may be able to choose the benefits of Section 904(h)(10) of the Code and elect to treat dividends that would otherwise be U.S. source dividends as foreign source dividends, but in such a case the foreign tax credit limitations would be separately determined with respect to such “resourced” income. In general, therefore, the application of Section 904(h) of the Code may adversely affect a U.S. holder’s ability to use foreign tax credits. Ferrari does not believe that it is 50 percent or more owned by U.S. persons. In addition, Ferrari believes that its earnings and profits attributable to sources within the U.S. will not exceed 10 percent of applicable earnings and profits. However, these conclusions are factual determinations and are subject to change; no assurance can therefore be given that Ferrari may not be treated as 50 percent or more owned by U.S. persons for purposes of Section 904(h) of the Code or that less than 10 percent of Ferrari’s earnings and profits will be attributable to sources within the U.S. U.S. holders are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible impact if Section 904(h) of the Code should apply.
 
Taxation of Capital Gains
Subject to the discussion of PFIC taxation and expected tax consequences of the Separation below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its Ferrari common shares will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the U.S. Dollar value of the amount that the U.S. holder realizes and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in those shares. Capital gain of a noncorporate U.S. holder is generally taxed at preferential rates where the property is held for more than one year. The gain or loss will be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. The deduction of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Loyalty Voting Program
NO STATUTORY, JUDICIAL OR ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY DIRECTLY DISCUSSES HOW THE RECEIPT, OWNERSHIP OR DISPOSITION OF SPECIAL VOTING SHARES SHOULD BE TREATED FOR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES AND AS A RESULT, THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES ARE UNCERTAIN. ACCORDINGLY, WE URGE U.S. HOLDERS TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE RECEIPT, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF SPECIAL VOTING SHARES.
Receipt of special voting shares
If a U.S. holder receives special voting shares, the tax consequences of the receipt of special voting shares is unclear. While distributions of stock are tax-free in certain circumstances, it is possible that the distribution of special voting shares could be treated as a distribution subject to tax as described above in “—Taxation of Dividends” if such distribution were considered to result in a “disproportionate distribution.” If the distribution of special voting shares were so treated, the amount of the distribution should equal the fair market value of the special voting shares received. Ferrari believes and intends to take the position that the value of each special voting share is minimal. However, because the fair market value of the special voting shares is factual and is not governed by any guidance that directly addresses such a situation, the IRS could asserts that the value of the special voting shares (and thus the amount of the distribution) as determined by Ferrari is incorrect.
Ownership of special voting shares
Ferrari believes that U.S. holders holding special voting shares should not have to recognize income in respect of amounts transferred to the special voting shares dividend reserve that are not paid out as dividends. Section 305 of the Code may, in certain circumstances, require a holder of preferred shares to recognize income even if no dividends are actually received on such shares if the preferred shares are redeemable at a premium and the redemption premium results in a “constructive distribution.” Preferred shares for this purpose refer to shares that do not participate in corporate growth to any significant extent. Ferrari believes that Section 305 of the Code should not apply to any amounts transferred to the special
149



voting shares dividend reserve that are not paid out as dividends so as to require current income inclusion by U.S. holders because, among other things, (i) the special voting shares are not redeemable on a specific date and a U.S. holder is only entitled to receive amounts in respect of the special voting shares upon liquidation, (ii) Section 305 of the Code does not require the recognition of income in respect of a redemption premium if the redemption premium does not exceed a de minimis amount and, even if the amounts transferred to the special voting shares dividend reserve that are not paid out as dividends are considered redemption premium, the amount of the redemption premium is likely to be “de minimis” as such term is used in the applicable Treasury Regulations. Ferrari therefore intends to take the position that the transfer of amounts to the special voting shares dividend reserve that are not paid out as dividends does not result in a “constructive distribution,” and this determination is binding on all U.S. holders of special voting shares other than a U.S. holder that explicitly discloses its contrary determination in the manner prescribed by the applicable regulations. However, because the tax treatment of the loyalty voting program is unclear and because Ferrari’s determination is not binding on the IRS, it is possible that the IRS could disagree with Ferrari’s determination and require current income inclusion in respect of such amounts transferred to the special voting shares dividend reserve that are not paid out as dividends.
Disposition of special voting shares
The tax treatment of a U.S. holder that has its special voting shares redeemed for zero consideration after removing its common shares from the Loyalty Register is unclear. It is possible that a U.S. holder would recognize a loss to the extent of the U.S. holder’s basis in its special voting shares. Such loss would be a capital loss and would be a long-term capital loss if a U.S. holder has held its special voting shares for more than one year. It is also possible that a U.S. holder would not be allowed to recognize a loss upon the redemption of its special voting shares and instead a U.S. holder should increase the basis in its Ferrari common shares by an amount equal to the basis in its special voting shares. Such basis increase in a U.S. holder’s Ferrari common shares would decrease the gain, or increase the loss, that a U.S. holder would recognize upon the sale or other taxable disposition of its Ferrari common shares.
THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE LOYALTY VOTING PROGRAM IS UNCLEAR AND U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS IN RESPECT OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF ACQUIRING, OWNING, AND DISPOSING OF SPECIAL VOTING SHARES.
PFIC Considerations
Ferrari believes that shares of its stock will not be stock of a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but this conclusion is based on a factual determination made annually and thus is subject to change. As discussed in greater detail below, if shares of Ferrari stock were to be treated as stock of a PFIC, gain realized (subject to the discussion below regarding a mark-to-market election) on the sale or other disposition of shares of Ferrari stock would not be treated as capital gain, and a U.S. holder would be treated as if such U.S. holder had realized such gain and certain “excess distributions” ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period for its shares of Ferrari stock and would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year to which the gain was allocated, together with an interest charge in respect of the tax attributable to each such year. With certain exceptions, a U.S. holder’s shares of Ferrari stock would be treated as stock in a PFIC if Ferrari were a PFIC at any time during such U.S. holder’s holding period in the shares. Dividends received from Ferrari would not be eligible for the special tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income if Ferrari were treated as a PFIC in the taxable years in which the dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year (regardless of whether the U.S. holder held shares of Ferrari stock in such year) but instead would be taxable at rates applicable to ordinary income.
Ferrari would be a PFIC with respect to a U.S. holder if for any taxable year in which the U.S. holder held shares of Ferrari stock, after the application of applicable “look-through rules”:
75 percent or more of Ferrari’s gross income for the taxable year consists of “passive income” (including dividends, interest, gains from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and royalties other than rents and royalties that are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business, as defined in applicable Treasury Regulations); or
at least 50 percent of its assets for the taxable year (averaged over the year and determined based upon value) produce or are held for the production of passive income.
Because the determination whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is primarily factual and there is little administrative or judicial authority on which to rely to make a determination, the IRS might not agree that Ferrari is not a
150



PFIC. Moreover, no assurance can be given that Ferrari would not become a PFIC for any future taxable year if there were to be changes in Ferrari’s assets, income or operations.
If Ferrari were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year included in whole or in part in a U.S. holder’s holding period of Ferrari and such U.S. holder is treated as owning shares of Ferrari stock for purposes of the PFIC rules (and regardless of whether Ferrari remains a PFIC for subsequent taxable years), the U.S. holder (i) would be liable to pay U.S. federal income tax at the highest applicable income tax rates on (a) ordinary income upon the receipt of excess distributions (the portion of any distributions received by the U.S. holder on shares of Ferrari stock in a taxable year in excess of 125 percent of the average annual distributions received by the U.S. holder in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. holder’s holding period for the Ferrari common shares) and (b) on any gain from the disposition of shares of Ferrari stock, plus interest on such amounts, as if such excess distributions or gain had been recognized ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period of the shares of Ferrari stock, and (ii) may be required to annually file Form 8621 with the IRS reporting information concerning Ferrari.
If Ferrari were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year and provided that Ferrari common shares are treated as “marketable stock” within the meaning of applicable Treasury Regulations, which Ferrari believes will be the case, a U.S. holder may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such U.S. holder’s common shares. Under a mark-to-market election, any excess of the fair market value of the Ferrari common shares at the close of any taxable year over the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Ferrari common shares is included in the U.S. holder’s income as ordinary income. These amounts of ordinary income would not be eligible for the favorable tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income or long-term capital gains. In addition, the excess, if any, of the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis at the close of any taxable year over the fair market value of the Ferrari common shares is deductible in an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of the excess or the amount of the net mark-to-market gains that the U.S. holder included in income in prior years. A U.S. holder’s tax basis in Ferrari common shares would be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss. Gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of Ferrari common shares would be treated as ordinary income, and any loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of Ferrari common shares would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent that such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included by the U.S. holder.
The adverse consequences of owning stock in a PFIC could also be mitigated if a U.S. holder makes a valid “qualified electing fund” election (“QEF election”), which, among other things, would require a U.S. holder to include currently in income its pro rata share of the PFIC’s net capital gain and ordinary earnings, based on earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Because of the administrative burdens involved, Ferrari does not intend to provide information to its holders that would be required to make such election effective.
A U.S. holder that holds shares of Ferrari stock during a period when Ferrari is a PFIC will be subject to the foregoing rules for that taxable year and all subsequent taxable years with respect to that U.S. holder’s holding of Ferrari common shares, even if Ferrari ceases to be a PFIC, subject to certain exceptions for U.S. holders that made a mark-to-market or QEF election. U.S. holders are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the PFIC rules, and the potential tax consequences to them if Ferrari were determined to be a PFIC.
Material Netherlands Tax Consequences
    This section describes solely the principal Dutch tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposal of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares by Non-Resident holders of such shares (as defined below). It does not purport to describe every aspect of Dutch taxation that may be relevant to a particular holder of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares. Tax matters are complex, and the tax consequences to a particular holder of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares will depend in part on such holder’s circumstances. Shareholders and any potential investor should consult their own tax advisors regarding the Dutch tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares in their particular circumstances.
    Where in this section English terms and expressions are used to refer to Dutch concepts, the meaning to be attributed to such terms and expressions shall be the meaning to be attributed to the equivalent Dutch concepts under Dutch tax law. Where in this section the terms “the Netherlands” and “Dutch” are used, these refer solely to the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
    This section also assumes that the board shall control the conduct of the affairs of Ferrari and shall procure that Ferrari is organized such that Ferrari should be treated as solely resident of Italy for the application of the tax treaty as concluded between Italy and The Netherlands. A change in facts and circumstances based upon which Ferrari is no longer
151



considered to be solely resident of Italy for the application of the mentioned treaty may invalidate the contents of this section, which will not be updated to reflect any such change.
    This section is based on the tax law of the Netherlands (unpublished case law not included) as it stands at the date of this Form. The law upon which this description is based is subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change may invalidate the contents of this description, which will not be updated to reflect such change.
    Where in this Dutch taxation section reference is made to “a holder of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares”, that concept includes, without limitation:
1.    an owner of one or more Ferrari common shares and/or Ferrari special voting shares who in addition to the title to such Ferrari common shares and/or Ferrari special voting shares, has an economic interest in such Ferrari common shares and/or Ferrari special voting shares;
2.    a person who or an entity that holds the entire economic interest in one or more Ferrari common shares and/or Ferrari special voting shares;
3.    a person who or an entity that holds an interest in an entity, such as a partnership or a mutual fund, that is transparent for Dutch tax purposes, the assets of which comprise one or more Ferrari common shares and/or Ferrari special voting shares, within the meaning of 1. or 2. above; or
4.    a person who is deemed to hold an interest in Ferrari common shares and/or Ferrari special voting shares, as referred to under 1. to 3., pursuant to the attribution rules of article 2.14a, of the Dutch Income Tax Act 2001 (Wet inkomstenbelasting 2001), with respect to property that has been segregated, for instance in a trust or a foundation.
Scope of the summary.
The summary of Dutch taxes set out in this section “Material Dutch tax consequences” only applies to a holder of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable Ferrari special voting shares who is a Non-Resident holder of such shares. For the purpose of this summary a holder of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable Ferrari special voting shares is a Non-Resident holder of such shares if such holder is neither a resident nor deemed to be resident in The Netherlands for purposes of Dutch income tax or corporation tax as the case may be.
Please note that this summary does not describe the Dutch tax consequences for holders of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable Ferrari special voting shares who:
(i)    are individuals and derive benefits from Ferrari common shares and, if applicable Ferrari special voting shares that are a remuneration or deemed to be a remuneration in connection with past, present or future employment performed in The Netherlands or management activities and functions or membership of a management board (bestuurder) or a supervisory board (commissaris) of a Netherlands resident entity by such holder or certain individuals related to such holder (as defined in The Dutch Income Tax Act 2001); or
(ii)    is for Dutch tax purposes taxable as a corporate entity and resident of Aruba, Curacao or Sint Maarten.
Taxes on income and capital gains
    A Non-resident holder (as defined above) of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares will not be subject to any Dutch taxes on income or capital gains in respect of any benefits derived or deemed to be derived by such holder from such holder’s Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares, including any capital gain realized on the disposal thereof, unless:
1.    such holder derives profits from an enterprise directly, or pursuant to a co-entitlement to the net value of such enterprise, other than as a holder of securities, which enterprise either is managed in the Netherlands or carried on, in whole or in part, through a permanent establishment or a permanent representative which is taxable in the Netherlands, and such holder’s Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares are attributable to such enterprise; or
2.    such holder is an individual and such holder derives benefits from Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares that are taxable as benefits from miscellaneous activities (resultaat uit overige
152



werkzaamheden) in the Netherlands. Such holder may, inter alia, derive, or be deemed to derive, benefits from Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares that are taxable as benefits from miscellaneous activities if such holder’s investment activities go beyond the activities of an active portfolio investor, for instance in the case of use of insider knowledge or comparable forms of special knowledge.
    Benefits derived or deemed to be derived from certain miscellaneous activities by a child or a foster child who is under eighteen years of age are attributed to the parent who exercises, or the parents who exercise, authority over the child, irrespective of the country of residence of the child.
Dividend withholding tax
    Ferrari is generally required to withhold Dutch dividend withholding tax at a rate of 15 percent from dividends distributed by it. As an exception to this rule, Ferrari may not be required to withhold Dutch dividend withholding tax from Non-Resident holders of shares (as defined above) if it is considered to be a tax resident of both the Netherlands and Italy, in accordance with the domestic tax residency provisions applied by each of these jurisdictions, while the double tax treaty between the Netherlands and Italy attributes the tax residency exclusively to Italy.
Gift and inheritance taxes
If a holder of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares disposes of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares by way of gift, in form or in substance, or if a holder of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares who is an individual dies, no Dutch gift tax or Dutch inheritance tax, as applicable, will be due, unless:
i.the donor is, or the deceased was, resident or deemed to be resident in the Netherlands for purposes of Dutch gift tax or Dutch inheritance tax, as applicable; or
ii.the donor made a gift of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares, then became a resident or deemed resident of the Netherlands, and died as a resident or deemed resident of the Netherlands within 180 days of the date of the gift.
For purposes of the above, a gift of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares made under a condition precedent is deemed to be made at the time the condition precedent is satisfied.
Value Added Tax
    No Dutch value added tax will arise in respect of any payment in consideration for the issue of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares.
Registration taxes and duties
    No Dutch registration tax, transfer tax, stamp duty or any other similar documentary tax or duty, other than court fees, is payable in the Netherlands by a holder in respect of or in connection with (i) the subscription, issue, placement or allotment of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares, (ii) the enforcement by way of legal proceedings (including the enforcement of any foreign judgment in the courts of the Netherlands) of the documents relating to the issue of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares or the performance by Ferrari of Ferrari’s obligations under such documents, or (iii) the transfer of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares.
Material Italian Income Tax Consequences
This section describes solely the material Italian tax consequences of acquiring, holding, and disposing of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares. It does not consider every aspect of Italian taxation that may be relevant to a particular holder of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares in special circumstances or who is subject to special treatment under applicable law, and it is not intended to be applicable in all respects to all classes of investors.
153



Shareholders and any potential prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the Italian tax consequences of acquiring, holding, and disposing of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares in their particular circumstances and should investigate the nature and the origin of the amounts received as distributions in connection with the Ferrari common shares (dividends or reserves).
Where in this section English terms and expressions are used to refer to Italian concepts, the meaning to be given to these terms and expressions shall be the meaning to be given to the equivalent Italian concepts under Italian tax law. This summary assumes that Ferrari common shares will be listed on a regulated market. This summary also assumes that Ferrari is organized, and that the business will be conducted, in the manner outlined in this report. A change to the organizational structure or to the manner in which Ferrari conducts its business may invalidate the contents of this section, which will not be updated to reflect any such change.
This summary is based on the tax laws of the Republic of Italy and case law / practice (unpublished case law / practice is not included) as it stands at the date of this report. The law upon which this description is based is subject to change, potentially with retroactive effect. Any such change may invalidate the contents of this description, which will not be updated to reflect this change.

Finance Act 2018 materially changed the tax regime applicable to dividends and capital gains from Qualified Holdings received or realized by Italian resident persons not engaged in business activity and by non-resident persons without a permanent establishment in Italy. This section only describes the tax regime applicable to (i) dividends paid out of profits that Ferrari has realized as of fiscal year 2018, and (ii) capital gains realized on common shares as of January 1, 2019.
Finance Act 2018 provides for an interim regime that applies to dividend distributions that are (i) paid out of profits realized by Ferrari until the fiscal year that was current on December 31, 2017 and (ii) declared before December 31, 2022 (dividends declared after this date are subject to the new tax regime enacted by Finance Act 2018 and described below in detail in this section). These dividend distributions would be subject to the old tax regime that applied before Finance Act 2018. In particular, Italian resident individuals holding a Qualified Holding not in connection with a business activity (i) would not be subject to a withholding tax on the distribution, provided that, in this case, the holders declare at the time of receipt that the dividends relate to Qualified Holdings, but (ii) would have to include in their taxable income:
40 percent of the amount of the dividends paid out of profits formed until the fiscal year that was current on December 31, 2007;
49.72 percent of the amount of the dividends paid out of profits formed after the fiscal year that was current on December 31, 2007 and until the fiscal year that was current on December 31, 2016;
58.14 percent of the amount of the dividends paid out of profits formed in the fiscal year that was current on December 31, 2017.
Article 1(4) of Ministerial Decree of May 26, 2017 sets forth a priority rule whereby dividends are first deemed to be paid out of profits earned by the distributing company until the fiscal year that was current on December 31, 2007, then out of profits earned until the fiscal year that was current on December 31, 2016 and finally out of profits of subsequent fiscal years.
Article 32-quater of Law Decree No. 124 of October 26, 2019 provides for an interim regime that applies to dividend distributions received by Italian non-business partnerships (“società semplici”) that are (i) paid out of profits realized by Ferrari until December 31, 2019 and (ii) declared before December 31, 2022.
Taxation of Dividends
The tax regime summarized in this subsection “Taxation of Dividends” applies only to classes of holders of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares that are described here below.
Dividends paid by Ferrari are subject to the tax regime generally applicable to dividends paid by companies that are resident for tax purposes in the Republic of Italy.
As mentioned, this section only describes the tax regime applicable to dividends paid out of profits that Ferrari has realized as of fiscal year 2018.
The tax regime may vary as follows.
(A)    ITALIAN RESIDENT PERSONS
(i)    Individuals not engaged in business activity
Under Decree No. 600 of September 29, 1973 (“Decree 600”), dividends paid to Italian resident individuals who hold the Ferrari common shares neither in connection with a business activity nor in the context of the discretionary investment portfolio regime (“risparmio gestito”) as defined in subparagraph (A)(ii) below are subject to 26 percent tax withheld at source in Italy. In this case, the holders are not required to report the dividends in their income tax returns.
Subject to certain conditions (including minimum holding period requirement) and limitations, dividends paid by Ferrari may be exempt from any income taxation (including from the 26 percent tax withheld at source) if the common shares do not represent a Qualified Holding and are included in a long-term savings account (piano di risparmio a lungo termine) that meets all the requirements set forth under Italian tax law.
 
155



(ii)     Individuals not engaged in business activity and holding the Ferrari common shares under the “risparmio gestito” regime
Dividends paid to Italian resident individuals who do not hold the Ferrari common shares in connection with a business activity are not subject to any tax withheld at source in Italy if (a) the holder has entrusted the management of the shares to an authorized intermediary under a discretionary asset management contract, and (b) the holder has elected for the discretionary investment portfolio regime (“risparmio gestito”) under Article 7 of Legislative Decree No. 461 of November 21, 1997 (“Decree 461”). In this case, the dividends are included in the annual accrued management result (risultato maturato annuo di gestione), which is subjected to a 26 percent substitute tax. Even if there is not yet official published guidance of the Italian tax authorities after the reform enacted by Finance Act 2018, according to a certain interpretation, until January 1, 2023 the election for the discretionary investment portfolio regime should currently apply only on income from common shares that represent a Non-Qualified Holding.
(iii)    Sole Proprietors
Dividends paid to Italian resident individuals who hold the Ferrari common shares in connection with a business activity (“Sole Proprietors”) are not subject to any tax withheld at source in Italy, provided that, in this case, the holders declare at the time of receipt that the profits collected are from holdings connected with their business activity. In this case, dividends must be reported in the income tax return, but only 58.14 percent of such dividends are included in the holder’s overall business income taxable in Italy.
(iv)    Partnerships (Italian “società in nome collettivo”, “società in accomandita semplice”, “società semplici and similar Italian partnerships as referred to in Article 5 CITA), as well as companies and other business entities referred to in Article 73(1)(a)-(b) CITA
No Italian tax is withheld at source on dividends paid to Italian partnerships (such as Italian “società semplici”, “società in nome collettivo”, “società in accomandita semplice” and similar partnerships as referred to in Article 5 CITA). Only 58.14 percent of such dividends are included in the overall business income to be reported by the partnership if the partnership is a business partnership. If it is instead a non-business partnership (“società semplice”), based on Article 32-quater of Law Decree No. 124 of October 26, 2019, as subsequently amended and supplemented, dividends are deemed to be received on a tax transparency basis by the partners and are subject to tax under the tax regime applicable to the relevant partner (i.e., as if they were directly paid to each partner).
No Italian tax is withheld at source on dividends paid to Italian resident companies and other Italian resident business entities as referred to in Article 73(1)(a)-(b) CITA, including, among others, corporations (“società per azioni”), partnerships limited by shares (“società in accomandita per azioni”), limited liability companies (“società a responsabilità limitata”) and public and private entities whose sole or primary purpose is to carry out business activities. Only 5 percent of the dividends are included in the overall business income subject to IRES, unless the common shares in Ferrari are financial assets held for trading by holders that apply IAS / IFRS international accounting standards under Regulation No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and Council of July 19, 2002. In this latter case, the full amount of the dividends is included in the holder’s overall business income subject to IRES. IRES is currently levied at 24 percent, but a higher rate may apply for companies operating in specific sectors (chief among them is the 27.5 percent IRES rate for banks and other regulated financial intermediaries) or meeting certain conditions.
For some types of companies and under certain conditions, dividends are also partially included in the net value of production, which is subject to the regional tax on productive activities (“IRAP”).
(v)    Non-business entities referred to in Article 73(1)(c) CITA
No Italian tax is withheld at source on dividends paid to Italian resident non-business entities referred to in Article 73(1)(c) CITA (including Italian resident trusts that do not carry out a business activity), except for Italian undertakings for collective investment (“OICR”). The dividends are fully included in the holder’s overall income subject to IRES (only 77.74 percent of the dividend would instead be included in the holder’s overall income if it were paid out of profits formed until the fiscal year that was current on December 31, 2016). For social security entities pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 509 of June 30, 1994 and Legislative Decree No. 103 of February 10, 1996, subject to certain conditions (including minimum holding period requirement) and limitations, dividends and other income from the common shares that do not represent a Qualified Holding may be excluded from the taxable base if the social security entity earmarks the common shares as eligible investment under Article 1(89) of Finance Act 2017 (as subsequently amended) to the extent, however, that investment in the
156



common shares (and other qualifying shares or units in undertakings for collective investment investing mainly in qualifying shares) represent no more than 10 percent of the gross asset value of the social security entity of the previous year.
As of the fiscal year current on January 1, 2021, according to Article 1(44 - 46) of Finance Act 2021, 50 percent of the dividends paid to non-business entities referred to in Article 73(1)(c) CITA will be excluded from their IRES taxable base provided that they: (i) exclusively or mainly carry out any of the qualifying non-profit activities listed in Article 1(45) of Finance Act 2021 and (ii) earmark the related tax savings to a non-distributable reserve and use these resources to finance these non-profit activities.
(vi)    Persons exempt from IRES and persons outside the scope of IRES
Dividends paid to Italian resident persons that are exempt from IRES are generally subject to 26 percent tax withheld at source.
No Italian tax is instead withheld at source on dividends paid to persons that are outside the scope of IRES (“esclusi”) under Article 74(1) CITA.
 
(vii)     Pension funds and OICR (other than Real Estate AIF)
No Italian tax is withheld at source on dividends paid to (a) Italian pension funds governed by Legislative Decree No. 252 of December 5, 2005 (“Decree 252”) and (b) Italian OICR, other than real estate investment funds and Italian real estate SICAFs (real estate alternative investment funds, “Real Estate AIF”).
Dividends received by Italian pension funds are taken into account to compute the pension fund’s net annual accrued yield, which is subject to a 20 percent flat tax (imposta sostitutiva). Subject to certain conditions (including minimum holding period requirement) and limitations, dividends and other income from the common shares may be excluded from the taxable base of the 20 percent flat tax if the pension fund earmarks the common shares as eligible investment under Article 1(89)-(92) of Finance Act 2017 (as subsequently amended) to the extent, however, that investment in the common shares (and other qualifying shares or units in undertakings for collective investment investing mainly in qualifying shares) represent no more than 10 percent of the gross asset value of the pension fund of the previous year.
Dividends received by OICR that are set up in, and organized under the laws of, Italy and that are subject to regulatory supervision (other than Real Estate AIF) are not subject to taxation at the level of the OICR.
(viii)    Real Estate AIF
No Italian tax is withheld at source on dividends paid to Italian Real Estate AIF. Moreover, dividends are not subject to either IRES or IRAP at the level of the Real Estate AIF. However, income realized by Italian Real Estate AIF is attributed pro rata to Italian resident unitholders / shareholders, irrespective of any actual distribution, on a tax transparency basis if the Italian resident unitholders / shareholders are not institutional investors and hold units / shares in the Real Estate AIF representing more than 5 percent of the Real Estate AIF’s net asset value.
(B)    NON-ITALIAN RESIDENT PERSONS
(i)    Non-resident persons holding the common shares in Ferrari through a permanent establishment in Italy
No Italian tax is withheld at source on dividends paid to non-resident persons that hold the common shares in Ferrari through a permanent establishment in Italy to which the common shares in Ferrari are effectively connected. Only 5 percent of the dividends are included in the overall income subject to IRES, unless the common shares in Ferrari are financial assets held for trading by holders that apply IAS / IFRS international accounting standards under Regulation No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and the Council of July 19, 2002. In this latter case, the full amount of the dividends is included in the overall business income subject to IRES. IRES is currently levied at 24 percent, but a higher rate may apply for companies operating in specific sectors (chief among them is the 27.5 percent IRES rate for banks and other regulated financial intermediaries) or meeting certain conditions. If the common shares are held by a non-resident Sole Proprietor through a permanent establishment in Italy to which the common shares are effectively connected, only 58.14 percent of the dividends is included in the overall income subject to personal income tax.
For some types of businesses and under certain conditions, dividends are also partially included in the net value of production, which is subject to IRAP.
157



If dividends are paid with respect to common shares in Ferrari that are not connected with a permanent establishment in Italy of a non-resident person, please see subparagraph (B)(ii) below.
(ii)    Non-resident persons that do not hold the common shares in Ferrari through a permanent establishment in Italy
A 26 percent tax withheld at source generally applies on dividends paid to non-resident persons that do not have a permanent establishment in Italy to which the common shares in Ferrari are effectively connected.
Subject to a specific application that must be submitted to the Italian tax authorities under the terms and conditions provided by law, non-resident holders are entitled to relief (in the form of a refund), which cannot be greater than 11/26 (eleven twenty-sixths) of the tax levied in Italy, if they can demonstrate that they have paid final tax abroad on the same profits. Holders who may be eligible for the relief should consult with their own independent tax advisors to determine whether they are eligible for, and how to obtain, the tax refund.
As an alternative to the relief described above, persons resident in countries that have a double tax treaty in force with Italy may request that the tax withheld at source on dividends be levied at the (reduced) rate provided under the applicable tax treaty, provided that the non-resident person promptly submits proper documentation (including tax resident certificates released or stamped by the foreign tax authority).

The domestic withholding tax rate on dividends is 1.2 percent (and not 26 percent) if the recipients and beneficial owners of the dividends on Ferrari common shares are companies or entities that are (a) resident for tax purposes in an EU Member State or in an EEA State that is included in the Italian White List and (b) subject to corporate income tax in such State. These companies and entities are not entitled to the 11/26 relief described above.
The domestic withholding tax rate on dividends is 11 percent (and not 26 percent) if the recipients and beneficial owners of the dividends on Ferrari common shares are pension funds that are set up in an EU Member States or an EEA State included in the Italian White List. These pension funds are not entitled to the 11/26 relief described above. Moreover, Article 1(95) of Finance Act 2017 (as amended by Finance Act 2019) provides for an exemption from withholding taxation on dividends if a pension fund set up in an EU Member State or an EEA State holds shares in an Italian resident corporation (such as Ferrari) for at least 5 years and only to the extent of dividends from investments in qualifying shares (or units in undertakings for collective investment investing mainly in qualifying shares) that represent no more than 10 percent of the gross asset value of the pension fund of the previous year. To benefit from this exemption, the EU (or “white listed” EEA) pension fund that is the beneficial owner of the dividends must submit an affidavit to the withholding agent whereby it declares that it meets the conditions for the exemption and that it undertakes to hold the shares for the required holding period. Other documentary obligations apply to such EU (or “white listed” EEA) pension funds to benefit from this exemption.
As of January 1, 2021, pursuant to Article 1(631) of Finance Act 2021, no Italian tax is withheld at source on dividends paid to (i) foreign undertakings for collective investment that comply with Directive 2009/65/EC, or (ii) foreign undertakings for collective investment that do not fall within the scope of Directive 2009/65/EC but whose asset manager is subject to regulatory supervision according to Directive 2011/61/EU, provided that in both case (i) and (ii) the foreign undertaking for collective investment is organized under the laws of an EU Member State or an EEA State that is included in the White List.
Under Article 27-bis of Decree 600, which implemented in Italy the Directive 435/90/EEC of July 23, 1990, then recast in EU Directive 2011/96 of November 30, 2011 (the “Parent Subsidiary Directive”), a company is entitled to a full refund of the tax withheld at source on the dividends if it (a) has one of the legal forms provided for in the appendix to the Parent Subsidiary Directive, (b) is resident for tax purposes in an EU Member State without being considered to be resident outside the EU according to a double tax treaty signed with a non-EU country, (c) is subject in the country of residence to one of the taxes indicated in the appendix to the Parent Subsidiary Directive with no possibility of benefiting from optional or exemption regimes that have no territorial or time limitations, and (d) directly holds common shares in Ferrari that represent an interest in the issued and outstanding capital of Ferrari of no less than 10 percent for an uninterrupted period of at least one year. If these conditions are met, and as an alternative to submitting a refund request after the dividend distribution, the non-resident company may request that no tax be levied at the time the dividends are paid, provided that (x) the 1-year holding period under condition (d) above has already run and (y) the non-resident company promptly submits proper documentation. The withholding exemption under Article 27-bis of Decree 600 may be denied by the Italian tax authorities in abusive situations pursuant to the Italian statutory general anti-abuse rule (Article 10-bis of Law No. 212 of July 27, 2000).
158



Under the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation providing for measures equivalent to those laid down in Council Directive 2003/48/EC on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments, the withholding tax refund / exemption regime described above also applies to dividends paid to a company that (a) is resident for tax purposes in Switzerland without being considered to be resident outside Switzerland according to a double tax treaty signed with a non-EU country, (b) is a limited company, (c) is subject to Swiss corporate tax without being exempted or benefiting from preferential tax regimes, and (d) directly holds common shares in Ferrari that represent an interest in Ferrari’s issued and outstanding capital of no less than 25 percent for an uninterrupted period of at least two years.
Dividends distributed to international entities or bodies that benefit from exemption from taxation in Italy pursuant to international rules or treaties entered into force in Italy will not be subject to withholding tax.
(iii)    U.S. holders (without permanent establishment in Italy) of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares
If Ferrari is considered to be a tax resident of both Italy and the Netherlands, in accordance with the domestic tax residency provisions applied by each of these jurisdictions, while the double tax treaty between Italy and the Netherlands attributes the tax residency exclusively to Italy, Ferrari will be required to apply Italian dividend withholding tax on dividends distributed to U.S. holders of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares. However, certain U.S. holders of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares may qualify for full or partial relief from the Italian dividend withholding tax under the Convention between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Italian Republic for the avoidance of double taxation with respect to taxes on income and the prevention of fraud or fiscal evasion signed in Washington, D.C. on August 25, 1999 (the “Italy-U.S. Treaty”). On the basis of Article 10 of the Italy-U.S. Treaty, qualifying U.S. individuals are entitled to a reduced Italian dividend withholding tax rate (i.e., 15 percent) and qualifying U.S. companies are entitled, under certain conditions, to a reduced Italian dividend withholding tax rate (either 5 percent or 15 percent depending on the circumstances). On the basis of Article 10(8) of the Italy-U.S. Treaty, qualified U.S. governmental entities are entitled, under certain conditions, to a full exemption from Italian dividend withholding tax.
Taxation of distributions of Equity Reserves
The tax regime summarized in this subsection “Taxation of distributions of Equity Reserves” applies only to classes of holders of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares that are described here below.
The information provided in this subsection summarizes the Italian tax regime applicable to the distributions by Ferrari - other than in case of reduction of excess capital, withdrawal, exclusion, redemption or liquidation - of equity reserves as referred to under Article 47(5) CITA, such as, for instance, reserves or other funds formed with share premiums, equalizing interests (interessi di conguaglio) paid in by the subscribers, equity (other than share capital) contributions (versamenti a fondo perduto) or share capital account payments (versamenti in conto capitale) made by shareholders and tax-exempt revaluation reserves (the “Equity Reserves”).
(A)    ITALIAN RESIDENT PERSONS
(i)    Individuals not engaged in business activity
Regardless of what holders have resolved upon in the shareholders’ meeting, the amounts received as distribution out of Equity Reserves of Ferrari by Italian resident individuals who do not hold the Ferrari common shares in connection with a business activity are deemed to be, and treated as, profits for the recipients to the extent that Ferrari has current year profits and retained profits (except for any portion thereof earmarked to a tax-deferred reserve or non-distributable reserves). Amounts treated as profits are subject to the same tax regime described above for dividends. Amounts received as distributions out of Equity Reserves, net of any amount already treated as profits as per the above, reduce the holder’s tax basis in Ferrari common shares correspondingly. Distributions out of Equity Reserves that are in excess of the holders’ tax basis in the Ferrari common shares are treated as dividends for tax purposes. Special rules may apply if the individual holders have elected with regard to the common shares in Ferrari into the discretionary investment portfolio regime (regime del risparmio gestito) described in subparagraph (A)(i) of the subsection “Taxation of Capital Gains” below.
159



(ii)    Sole Proprietors, business partnerships (Italian “società in nome collettivo,” “società in accomandita semplice” and similar Italian partnerships as referred to in Article 5 CITA), as well as companies and other business entities referred to in Article 73(1)(a)-(b) CITA
Regardless of what holders have resolved upon in the shareholders’ meeting, the amounts received as distribution out of Equity Reserves of Ferrari by Italian Sole Proprietors, Italian business partnerships (Italian “società in nome collettivo,” “società in accomandita semplice” and similar Italian partnerships as referred to in Article 5 CITA), and Italian resident companies and other business entities referred to in Article 73(1)(a)-(b) CITA are deemed to be, and are treated as, profits for the recipients to the extent that Ferrari has current year profits and retained profits (except for any portion thereof earmarked to a tax-deferred reserve or non-distributable reserves). Amounts treated as profits should be subject to the same tax regime described above for dividends. Amounts received as distributions out of Equity Reserves, net of any amount already treated as profits as per the above, reduce the holder’s tax basis in the Ferrari common shares correspondingly. Distributions out of Equity Reserves that are in excess of the holders’ tax basis in the common shares in Ferrari are treated as capital gains for tax purposes and should be subject to the same regime described in the subsection “Taxation of Capital Gains” below.
(iii)    Non-business entities referred to in Article 73(1)(c) CITA and non-business partnerships referred to in Article 5 CITA
Amounts received by Italian resident non-business entities referred to in Article 73(1)(c) CITA as distributions out of Equity Reserves, net of any amount already treated as profits as per the rules described in subparagraph (A)(i) above that apply here as well, reduce the holder’s tax basis in the Ferrari common shares correspondingly. Distributions out of Equity Reserves that are in excess of the holders’ tax basis in the common shares in Ferrari not held in connection with a business activity are treated as dividends for tax purposes. For a short description of a favorable regime available to certain social security entities, see subparagraph (A)(v) of the subsection “Taxation of Dividends” above.
In case of amounts received by Italian non-business partnerships referred to in Article 5 CITA, the tax regime depends on the specific circumstances of the case. Shareholders and any potential prospective investors that are Italian non-business partnerships should consult their own tax advisors in this respect.
(iv)     Persons exempt from IRES
Amounts received by Italian resident persons exempt from IRES as distributions out of Equity Reserves, net of any amount already treated as profits as per the rules described in subparagraph (A)(i) above that apply here as well, reduce the holder’s tax basis in the Ferrari common shares correspondingly. Distributions out of Equity Reserves that are in excess of the holders’ tax basis in the common shares in Ferrari not held in connection with a business activity are treated as dividends for tax purposes.
(v)    Pension funds and OICR (other than Real Estate AIF)
Amounts received by Italian pension funds governed by Article 17 of Decree 252 as distributions out of Equity Reserves should be taken into account to compute the pension fund’s net annual accrued yield, which is subject to a 20 percent flat tax (imposta sostitutiva). The value of the common shares in Ferrari at the end of the same tax year should also be included in the net annual accrued yield. For a short description of a favorable regime available to pension funds, see subparagraph (A)(vii) of the subsection “Taxation of Dividends” above.
Conversely, any amounts received by OICR that are set up in, and organized under the laws of, Italy and that are subject to regulatory supervision (other than Real Estate AIF) as distributions out of Equity Reserves are not subject to taxation at the level of the OICR.
(vi)    Real Estate AIF
Amounts received by Italian Real Estate AIF as distributions out of Equity Reserves are not subject to IRES or IRAP at the level of the Real Estate AIF. However, income realized by Italian Real Estate AIF is attributed pro rata to the Italian resident unitholders / shareholders, irrespective of any actual distribution, on a tax transparency basis if the Italian resident unitholders / shareholders are not institutional investors and hold units / shares in the Real Estate AIF representing more than 5 percent of the Real Estate AIF’s net asset value.
(B)    NON-ITALIAN RESIDENT PERSONS
160



(i)    Non-resident persons that do not hold the common shares in Ferrari through a permanent establishment in Italy
For non-Italian resident persons (whether individuals or corporations) without a permanent establishment in Italy to which the common shares in Ferrari are effectively connected, the amounts received as distributions out of Equity Reserves are subject to the same tax regime as applicable to Italian resident individuals not engaged in business activity described in paragraph A(i) of this subsection “Taxation of distributions of Equity Reserves”. Therefore, the amounts received as distributions out of Equity Reserves, net of any amount that has already been treated as profits as per the rules described in subparagraph (A)(i) above, reduce the holder’s tax basis in the Ferrari common shares correspondingly. Distributions out of Equity Reserves that are in excess of the holders’ tax basis in the common shares in Ferrari are treated as dividends for tax purposes.
(ii)    Non-resident persons holding the common shares in Ferrari through a permanent establishment in Italy
For non-Italian resident persons that hold the common shares in Ferrari through a permanent establishment in Italy to which the Ferrari common shares are effectively connected, the amounts received as distributions out of Equity Reserves are subject to the same tax regime as applicable to Italian resident companies and other business entities referred to in Article 73(1)(a)-(b) CITA as described in subparagraph (A)(ii) above. If the Equity Reserves distribution relates to common shares in Ferrari that are not connected to a permanent establishment in Italy of the non-resident recipient, reference must be made to subparagraph (B)(i) above.
 
Taxation of Capital Gains
The tax regime summarized in this subsection “Taxation of Capital Gains” applies only to classes of holders of Ferrari common shares and, if applicable, Ferrari special voting shares that are described here below.
(A)    ITALIAN RESIDENT PERSONS
(i)    Italian resident individuals not engaged in business activity
Capital gains realized by Italian resident individuals upon transfer for consideration of the common shares (as well as of securities or rights whereby common shares may be acquired), other than capital gains realized in connection with a business activity, are subject to a 26 percent substitute tax (“CGT”). The taxpayer may opt for any of the following three tax regimes:
a.    Tax return regime (regime della dichiarazione). Under this regime, capital gains and capital losses realized during the tax year must be reported in the income tax return. CGT is computed on capital gains net of capital losses of the same nature and must be paid by the term for paying the balance of the annual income tax. Capital losses in excess of capital gains may be carried forward and offset against capital gains realized in any of the four following tax years. Capital losses realized on transfers of Non-Qualified Holdings before 2019 should be allowed to offset capital gains realized on Transfers of Qualified Holdings as of 2019. This regime is the default regime if the taxpayer does not elect into any of the two alternative regimes described in (b) and (c) below.
b.    Non-discretionary investment portfolio regime (risparmio amministrato) (optional). Under this regime, CGT is applied separately on capital gains realized on each transfer of common shares in Ferrari. This regime is allowed subject to (x) the Ferrari common shares being managed or in custody with Italian banks, broker-dealers (società di intermediazione mobiliare) or certain authorized financial intermediaries; and (y) an express election for the non-discretionary investment portfolio regime being made in writing in due time by the relevant holder. Under this regime, the financial intermediary is responsible for accounting for and paying (on behalf of the taxpayer) CGT in respect of capital gains realized on each transfer of the common shares in Ferrari (as well as in respect of capital gains realized at revocation of the intermediary’s mandate), net of any relevant capital losses. Capital losses may be carried forward and offset against capital gains realized within the same relationship of deposit in the same tax year or in the following tax years up to the fourth. Capital losses realized on transfers of Non-Qualified Holdings before 2019 should be allowed to offset capital gains realized on Transfers of Qualified Holdings as of 2019. Under this regime, the holder is not required to report capital gains in the annual income tax return.
161



c.    Discretionary investment portfolio regime (risparmio gestito) (optional). This regime is allowed for holders who have entrusted the management of their financial assets, including the Ferrari common shares, to an authorized intermediary and have elected in writing into this regime. Under this regime, capital gains accrued on the Ferrari common shares are included in the computation of the annual increase in value of the managed assets accrued (even if not realized) at year end, which is subject to CGT. The managing authorized intermediary applies the tax on behalf of the taxpayer. Any decrease in value of the managed assets accrued at year end may be carried forward and offset against any increase in value of the managed assets accrued in any of the four following tax years. Under this regime, the holder is not required to report capital gains in the annual income tax return. Even if there is not yet official published guidance of the Italian tax authorities after the reform enacted by Finance Act 2018, according to a certain interpretation, until January 1, 2023 the election for the discretionary investment portfolio regime should currently apply only on income from common shares in Ferrari that represent a Non-Qualified Holding.
Subject to certain conditions (including minimum holding period requirement) and limitations, capital gains on the common shares in Ferrari may be exempt from any income taxation (including from the 26 percent CGT) if the common shares in Ferrari do not represent a Qualified Holding and are included in a long-term savings account (piano di risparmio a lungo termine) that meets all the requirements set forth under Italian tax law.
(ii)     Sole Proprietors and business partnerships (Italian “società in nome collettivo,” “società in accomandita semplice” and similar Italian partnerships as referred to in Article 5 CITA)
Capital gains realized by Italian Sole Proprietors and Italian business partnerships (Italian “società in nome collettivo,” “società in accomandita semplice” and similar Italian partnerships as referred to in Article 5 CITA) upon transfer for consideration of the common shares in Ferrari must be fully included in the overall business income and reported in the annual income tax return. Capital losses (or other negative items of income) derived by this class of holders upon transfer for consideration of the common shares in Ferrari would be fully deductible from the holder’s income.
However, if the conditions under a. and b. of subparagraph (A)(iii) below are met, only 49.72 percent (58.14 percent in case of Sole Proprietors) of the capital gain should be included in the overall business income (based on a different interpretation, a 58.14 percent inclusion of the capital gains that meet the above-mentioned conditions should apply also to business partnerships). Capital losses realized on common shares in Ferrari that meet the conditions under a. and b. of subparagraph (A)(iii) below are only partially deductible (similarly to what is provided for the taxation of capital gains).
For the purpose of determining capital gains and capital losses, the holder’s tax basis in the Ferrari common shares is reduced by any write-down that the holder has deducted in previous tax years.
(iii)    Companies and other business entities referred to in Article 73(1)(a)-(b) CITA
Capital gains realized by Italian resident companies and other business entities as referred to in Article 73(1)(a)-(b) CITA (including partnerships limited by shares and public and private entities whose sole or primary purpose is carrying out business activity) upon transfer for consideration of the common shares in Ferrari must be fully included in the overall taxable business income subject to IRES in the tax year in which the capital gains are realized or, upon election, may be spread in equal installments over a maximum of five tax years (including the tax year when the capital gain is realized). The election for the installment computation is only available if the common shares in Ferrari have been held for no less than three years and booked as non-current financial assets (immobilizzazioni finanziarie) in the last three financial statements.
However, under Article 87 CITA (participation exemption), capital gains realized upon transfer of common shares in Ferrari are 95 percent exempt if both the following requirements are met:
a.    The common shares in Ferrari have been uninterruptedly held as of the first day of the twelfth month prior to the transfer, treating the Ferrari common shares acquired on the most recent date as being transferred first (on a “last in first out” basis); and
b.    The common shares in Ferrari have been booked as non-current financial assets in the first financial statements closed during the holding period. In case of holders that draft their financial statements according to IAS / IFRS international accounting standards, the common shares in Ferrari are deemed as non-current financial assets if they are not accounted as financial assets held for trading.
 

162



The Italian law lays down certain additional conditions for the exemption to be available. Based on the assumption that Ferrari is a holding company, that its shares are listed on a regulated market, and that pursuant to Article 87(5) CITA its assets are predominantly composed of shareholdings in companies which satisfy the additional conditions set forth by Article 87 CITA in order to enjoy the participation exemption regime (i.e., the companies are not resident in a State with a preferential tax system pursuant to Article 47-bis CITA and carry on a business activity), these additional conditions should be met.
The transfer of shares booked as fixed financial assets and shares booked as inventory must be considered separately with reference to each class. If the requirements for the participation exemption are met, any capital loss realized on the common shares in Ferrari cannot be deducted.
For the purpose of determining capital gains and capital losses, the holder’s tax basis in the Ferrari common shares is reduced by any write-down that the holder has deducted in previous tax years.
Capital losses (as well as negative differences between revenues and costs) relating to shares that do not meet the participation exemption requirements are not relevant (and cannot be deducted) to the extent of the non-taxable amount of dividends (or advance dividend) received by the holder in the 36 (thirty-six) months prior to the transfer (dividend washing rule). This anti-avoidance rule applies to shares acquired in the 36-month period preceding the realization of the capital loss (or the negative difference), provided that requirements under Article 87(1)(c)-(d) CITA (i.e., the company is not resident in a State with a preferential tax system pursuant to Article 47-bis CITA and carries on a business activity) are met. The anti-avoidance rule does not apply to holders that draft their financial statements according to IAS / IFRS international accounting standards under Regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and the Council of July 19, 2002. When the amount of the aforesaid capital losses (and negative differences) deriving from a transaction (or a series of transactions) on shares traded on regulated markets is greater than €50,000.00, the taxpayer must, under certain circumstances report the data and the information regarding the transaction to the Italian tax authorities.
Moreover, in case of capital losses greater than €5,000,000.00 deriving from the transfer (or a series of transfers) of shares booked as non-current financial assets, the holder must report the data and the information to the Italian tax authorities. Holders that draft their financial statements according to IAS / IFRS international accounting standards are under no such obligation.
For some types of companies and under certain conditions, capital gains on common shares in Ferrari are also included in the net value of production that is subject to IRAP.
(iv)    Non-business entities referred to in Article 73(1)(c) CITA and non-business partnerships (società semplici) referred to in Article 5 CITA
Capital gains realized, outside the scope of a business activity, by Italian resident non-business entities referred to in Article 73(1)(c) CITA (other than OICR) and Italian non-business partnerships as referred to in Article 5 CITA are subject to tax under the same rules as provided for capital gains realized by Italian resident individuals who do not hold the Ferrari common shares in connection with a business activity. For a short description of a favorable regime available to certain social security entities, see subparagraph (A)(v) of the subsection “Taxation of Dividends” above.
(v)    Pension funds and OICR (other than Real Estate AIF)
Capital gains on common shares in Ferrari held by Italian pension funds governed by Decree 252 must be taken into account to compute the pension fund’s net annual accrued yield, which is subject to a 20 percent flat tax (imposta sostitutiva). For a short description of a favorable regime available to pension funds, see subparagraph (A)(vii) of the subsection “Taxation of Dividends” above.
Capital gains on common shares in Ferrari held by OICRs that are set up in, and organized under the laws of, Italy and that are subject to regulatory supervision (other than Real Estate AIF) are not subject to tax at the level of the OICR.
 
(vi)     Real Estate AIF
Capital gains on common shares in Ferrari held by Italian Real Estate AIF are not subject to IRES or IRAP at the level of the Real Estate AIF.
163



(B)    NON-ITALIAN RESIDENT PERSONS
(i)    Non-resident persons holding the common shares in Ferrari through a permanent establishment in Italy
If non-Italian resident persons hold the common shares in Ferrari through a permanent establishment in Italy to which the common shares in Ferrari are effectively connected, capital gains realized upon disposal of the common shares in Ferrari must be included in the permanent establishment’s income taxable in Italy according to the tax regime as provided for the capital gains realized by Italian resident companies and other business entities as referred to in Article 73(1)(a)-(b) CITA, which is summarized under subparagraph (A)(iii) above. If the common shares in Ferrari are not connected to a permanent establishment in Italy of the non-resident person, reference must be made to subparagraph (B)(ii) below.
If the common shares are held by a non-resident Sole Proprietor through a permanent establishment in Italy to which the common shares are effectively connected, capital gains realized upon disposal of the common shares must be included in the permanent establishment’s income taxable in Italy according to the tax regime as provided for the capital gains realized by Italian Sole Proprietors, which is summarized under subparagraph (A)(ii) above.
(ii)    Non-resident persons that do not hold the common shares in Ferrari through a permanent establishment in Italy
    NON-QUALIFIED HOLDINGS. Based on the fact that Ferrari common shares are listed on a regulated market, no tax applies in Italy on capital gains realized by non-Italian resident holders without a permanent establishment in Italy upon transfer for consideration of common shares in Ferrari that do not qualify as Transfers of Qualified Holdings, even if the Ferrari common shares are held in Italy and regardless of the provisions set forth in any applicable double tax treaty. In such case, in order to benefit from this exemption, non-Italian resident holders who hold the Ferrari common shares with an Italian authorized financial intermediary and either are subject to the nondiscretionary investment portfolio regime or have elected for the discretionary investment portfolio regime may be required to timely submit to the Italian authorized financial intermediary an affidavit whereby they state that they are not resident in Italy for tax purposes.
    QUALIFIED HOLDINGS. Capital gains realized by non-Italian resident holders without a permanent establishment in Italy upon Transfers of Qualified Holdings are subject to tax under the rules as provided for capital gains realized by Italian resident individuals who do not hold the Ferrari common shares in connection with a business activity. However, as of January 1, 2021, under Article 1(633) of Finance Act 2021, no tax applies in Italy on capital gains realized by (i) foreign undertakings for collective investment that comply with Directive 2009/65/EC, or (ii) foreign undertakings for collective investment that do not fall within the scope of Directive 2009/65/EC but whose asset manager is subject to regulatory supervision according to Directive 2011/61/EU, provided that in both case (i) and (ii) the foreign undertaking for collective investment is organized under the laws of an EU Member State or an EEA State that is included in the White List. In any case, the provisions of double tax treaties entered into by Italy may apply if more favorable.
Special voting shares
No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly discusses how the receipt, ownership or disposal of special voting shares should be treated for Italian income tax purposes and as a result, the Italian tax consequences are uncertain. Accordingly, we urge Ferrari shareholders to consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of the receipt, ownership and disposal of special voting shares.
Receipt of special voting shares
A shareholder that receives special voting shares issued by Ferrari should in principle not recognize any taxable income upon the receipt of special voting shares. Under a possible interpretation, the issue of special voting shares can be treated as the issue of bonus shares free of charge to the shareholders out of existing available reserves of Ferrari. Such issue should not have any material effect on the allocation of the tax basis of a shareholder between its Ferrari common shares and its Ferrari special voting shares. Because the special voting shares are not transferable and their limited economic rights can be enjoyed only at the time of the liquidation of Ferrari, we believe and intend to take the position that the fair market value of each special voting share is minimal. However, because the determination of the fair market value of the special voting shares is not governed by any guidance that directly addresses such a situation and is unclear, the Italian tax authorities could assert that the value of the special voting shares as determined by us is incorrect.
164



Ownership of special voting shares
Shareholders of special voting shares should not have to recognize income in respect of any amount transferred to the special voting shares dividend reserve, but not paid out as dividends, in respect of the special voting shares.
Disposition of special voting shares
The tax treatment of a Ferrari shareholder that has its special voting shares redeemed for no consideration after removing its shares from the Loyalty Register is unclear. It is possible that a shareholder should recognize a loss to the extent of the shareholder’s tax basis (if any). The deductibility of such loss depends on individual circumstances and conditions generally required by Italian law. It is also possible that a Ferrari shareholder would not be allowed to recognize a loss upon the redemption of its special voting shares and instead should increase its basis in its Ferrari common shares by an amount equal to the tax basis (if any) in its special voting shares.
Transfer tax
Contracts or other legal instruments relating to the transfer of securities (including the transfer of the Ferrari common shares) are subject to registration tax as follows: (i) notary deeds (atti pubblici) and private deeds with notarized signatures (scritture private authenticate) executed in Italy must mandatorily be registered with the Italian tax authorities and are subject to €200.00 registration tax; and (ii) private deeds (scritture private) are subject to €200.00 registration tax only if they are voluntary filed for registration with the Italian tax authorities or if the so-called “caso d’uso” or “enunciazione” occurs.
Financial Transaction Tax
Transfer of Ownership of the Shares
Article 1(491-500) of Law No. 228 of December 24, 2012 introduced a financial transaction tax (“FTT”) applicable, among others, to the transfers of the ownership of (i) shares issued by Italian resident corporations, (ii) participating financial instruments (as defined under Article 2346(6) of the Italian Civil Code) issued by Italian resident corporations, and (iii) securities representing equity investments in Italian resident corporations such as American Depositary Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts, regardless of the place of residence of the issuer of such securities and of the place where the contract has been concluded.
The residence of the issuer for the purposes of FTT is the place where the issuer has its registered office (intended as its corporate seat).
Since the corporate seat of Ferrari is not in Italy, transfers of ownership of the shares in Ferrari will not be subject to FTT.
High-frequency trading
Transactions carried out on the Italian financial markets and concerning the Ferrari shares may in limited circumstances be subject to a tax on high-frequency trading. Potential prospective investors engaged in high-frequency trading should therefore consult their own tax advisors regarding the Italian tax consequences of high-frequency trading on the Ferrari shares.
Transfer of the Ferrari Shares upon Death or by Gift
Subject to certain exceptions, Italian inheritance and gift tax is generally payable on transfers of assets and rights (including the common shares and the special voting shares in Ferrari) (i) by reason of death or gift by Italian resident persons (or other transfers for no consideration and the creation of liens on such assets for a specific purpose), even if the transferred assets are held outside Italy, and (ii) by reason of death or gift by non-Italian resident persons, but limited to transferred assets held in Italy. Shares in corporations that are resident in Italy for tax purposes (because they have their corporate address or their place of effective management or their main business purpose in Italy for the greater part of the tax year) are deemed to be held in Italy.
165



Subject to certain exceptions, transfers of assets and rights (including the common shares and the special voting shares in Ferrari) on death or by gift are generally subject to inheritance and gift tax as follows:
a.At a rate of 4 percent in case of transfers made to the spouse or relatives in direct line, on the portion of the global net value of the transferred assets, if any, exceeding, for each beneficiary, €1,000,000.00.
b.At a rate of 6 percent in case of transfers made to relatives up to the fourth degree or relatives-in-law up to the third degree on the entire value of the transferred assets (in the case of transfers to brothers or sisters, the six percent rate is applicable only on the portion of the global net value of the transferred assets, if any, exceeding, for each beneficiary, €100,000.00).
c.At a rate of 8 percent in any other case.
If the transfer is made in favor of persons with severe disabilities, the tax applies on the value exceeding €1,500,000.00 at the rates illustrated above, depending on the type of relationship existing between the deceased or donor and the beneficiary.
Assets and rights (i) segregated in a trust, or (ii) allocated to special funds by entering into a fiduciary contract, or (iii) encumbered by special purpose liens under Article 2645-ter of the Italian Civil Code, in favor of persons with severe disabilities are exempt from the Italian inheritance and gift tax, provided that all the conditions set out in Article 6 of Law No. 112 of June 22, 2016 are met. The exemption from Italian inheritance and gift tax also applies to the re-transfer of assets and rights if the death of the beneficiary occurs before the death of the settlor.
No inheritance tax applies if the common shares in Ferrari are included in a long-term savings account (piano di risparmio a lungo termine) that meets all the requirements set forth by the Italian tax law.
Stamp Duty
Under Article 13(2bis-2ter) of Decree No. 642 of October 26, 1972, a 0.20 percent stamp duty generally applies on communications and reports that Italian financial intermediaries periodically send to their clients in relation to the financial products that are deposited with such intermediaries. Shares are included in the definition of financial products for these purposes. Communications and reports are deemed to be sent at least once a year even if the Italian financial intermediary is under no obligation to either draft or send such communications and reports.
The stamp duty cannot exceed €14,000.00 per year for investors other than individuals.
Based on the wording of the law and the implementing decree issued by the Italian Ministry of Finance on May 24, 2012, the 0.20 percent stamp duty does not apply to communications and reports that the Italian financial intermediaries send to investors who do not qualify as “clients” according to the regulations issued by the Bank of Italy. Communications and reports sent to this type of investors are subject to the ordinary €2.00 stamp duty for each copy.
The taxable base of the stamp duty is the market value or - in the lack thereof - the nominal value or the redemption amount of any financial product.
Wealth Tax on Financial Products Held Abroad
Under Article 19 of Decree No. 201 of December 6, 2011, individuals, non-business entities and non-business partnerships resident for tax purposes in Italy, which hold certain financial products outside of Italian territory (including shares) are required to pay a wealth tax at the rate of 0.20 percent. The wealth tax applies on the market value at the end of the relevant year or - in the lack thereof - on the nominal value or the redemption value of such financial products held outside of Italian territory. The wealth tax cannot exceed €14,000 per year for investors other than individuals.
Taxpayers may deduct from the Italian wealth tax a tax credit equal to any wealth tax paid in the country where the financial products are held (up to the amount of the Italian wealth tax due).
 
Certain Reporting Obligations for Italian Resident Holders
Under Law Decree No. 167 of June 28, 1990, individuals, non-business entities and non-business partnerships that are resident in Italy for tax purposes and, during the fiscal year, hold financial assets abroad (including possibly the common
166



shares and the special voting shares in Ferrari) must, in certain circumstances, disclose these financial assets to the Italian tax authorities in their income tax return (or if the income tax return is not due, in a proper form that must be filed within the same term as prescribed for the annual income tax return), regardless of the value of such assets (save for deposits or bank accounts having an aggregate value not exceeding €15,000.00 throughout the year). The requirement applies also if the persons above, being not the direct holder of the financial assets, are the beneficial owners thereof for the purposes of anti-money laundering legislation.
No disclosure requirements exist for financial assets (including the common shares and the special voting shares in Ferrari) under management or administration entrusted to Italian resident intermediaries (Italian banks, broker-dealers (SIM), fiduciary companies or other professional intermediaries as indicated under Article 1 of Law Decree No. 167 of June 28, 1990) and for contracts concluded through their intervention, provided that the cash flows and the income derived from such assets and contracts have been subjected to Italian withholding tax or substitute tax by such intermediaries.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision, and with the participation, of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021 pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with IFRS.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation in accordance with IFRS.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, using the criteria set forth in the “Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. That report is included herein.
Changes in Internal Control
    No change to our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the year ended December 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Ferrari N.V.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Ferrari N.V.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Ferrari N.V. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statements of financial position of Ferrari N.V. as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated income statements, statements of comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes, and our report dated February 25, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Item 16E. Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
    A multi-year Euro 1.5 billion total share repurchase program expected to be executed between 2019 and 2022 was announced by the Company at the 2018 Capital Markets Day.
    On December 28, 2018, Ferrari announced the launch of a share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to Euro 150 million in common shares as part of the above mentioned multi-year Euro 1.5 billion total share repurchase program (the “First Tranche”), which started on January 2, 2019 and was completed on June 26, 2019. The First Tranche implemented a resolution adopted on April 13, 2018 by Ferrari’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “2018 AGM”), which delegated to the Board of Directors the authority to purchase common shares of Ferrari from time to time in the 18 months following the 2018 AGM, up to a maximum of 10% of Ferrari’s issued common shares as of the date of the 2018 AGM, at a price not higher than 10% above or more than 10% below the average of the closing price of the common shares on the NYSE and/or Euronext Milan for the five business days prior to the date of the purchase.
    The 2018 AGM share repurchase authority was renewed by the resolution of Ferrari’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of April 12, 2019 (the “2019 AGM”), which extended the share repurchase authorization to the Board of Directors until October 11, 2020 up to a maximum number of common shares equal to 10% of the Company’s issued common shares on April 12, 2019 at a purchase price per share between, on the one hand, an amount equal to the par value of the shares and, on the other hand, an amount equal to 110% of the market price of the shares on the NYSE and/or Euronext Milan, the market price being the average of the highest price on each of the five days of trading prior to the date of the purchase.

Item 16F. Change in Registrants Certifying Accountant
    Not applicable.
Item 16G. Corporate Governance
Ferrari N.V. is a company organized under the laws of The Netherlands and qualifies as a foreign private issuer under the NYSE listing standards. In accordance with the NYSE corporate governance rules, as a foreign private issuer we are permitted to follow home-country practice in some circumstances in lieu of the provisions of the corporate governance rules contained in Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual that are applicable to U.S. companies. In addition, we must disclose any significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those followed by U.S. companies listed on the NYSE.
    Both the Dutch and NYSE corporate governance regimes were adopted with the goal of fostering trust and confidence in the honesty, integrity and transparency of how business is conducted at and by public companies. Because these corporate governance regimes are based on the same principles, they are similar in many respects. However, certain differences exist between Dutch and NYSE corporate governance rules, as summarized below. We believe that our corporate governance practices and guidelines are consistent, in principle, with those required of U.S. companies listed on the NYSE. In addition, we endorse the principles and Best Practice Provisions of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, or the “Dutch Code”. In contrast to NYSE rules applicable to U.S. companies, the Dutch Code is based on the “comply or explain”
174



principle. As a result, deviations from the best practice provisions of the Dutch Code are allowed, as long as they are explained in our annual report.
The discussion below summarizes the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the NYSE standards applicable to U.S. companies, as well as certain ways in which our governance practices deviate from those suggested in the Dutch Code.
Dutch legal requirements concerning director independence differ in certain respects from the rules applicable to U.S. companies listed on the NYSE. While under most circumstances both regimes require that a majority of board members be “independent,” the definition of this term under the Dutch Code differs from the definition used under the NYSE corporate governance standards. In some cases the Dutch requirement is more stringent, such as by requiring a longer “look- back” period (five years) for former executive directors and employees and by requiring that in certain circumstances only one non-executive board member may be not “independent” within the meaning of the Dutch Code. The Dutch Code recommends, specifically for one-tier governance structures, that a majority of the members of the board be non-executive and independent. Currently, our Board consists of 10 members (including Mr. Benedetto Vigna, who was designated as Acting Chief Executive Officer by the Board of Directors since September 16, 2021) and a majority of our Board is “independent” under the NYSE definition (8 of the 10 members) and the Dutch Code (7 of the 10 members). Further, pursuant to Dutch law, persons may not be appointed as non-executive directors of Ferrari if such persons are non-executive director, member of the supervisory board or other similar bodies for five or more (Dutch) companies of a certain size and such persons cannot be appointed as executive directors of Ferrari if such persons are non-executive director at more than two other (Dutch) companies of a certain size or if such person is the chairperson of the board of supervisors or the one tier board of another (Dutch) company of a certain size. Finally, pursuant to Dutch law, a so-called “ingrowth quota” applies as of January 1, 2022 pursuant to which an individual cannot be appointed as non-executive Director, if such individual does not contribute to a balanced composition of the non-executive Directors. Under Dutch law, the composition of the non-executive Directors is considered balanced if it consists of at least one third men and at least one third women.
The NYSE requires that, when an audit committee member of a U.S. domestic listed company serves on four or more audit committees of public companies, the listed company should disclose (either on its website or in its annual proxy statement or annual report on Form 10-K) that the board of directors has determined that this simultaneous service would not impair the director’s service to the listed company. As a foreign private issuer we do not have to comply with this requirement. Dutch law does not require the Company to make such a determination.
NYSE rules require a U.S. listed company to have a compensation committee and a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors. As a foreign private issuer, we do not have to comply with this requirement, although we do have a Compensation Committee and a ESG Committee. Our Compensation Committee Charter states that a maximum of one member of the Compensation Committee may be non-independent according to the Dutch Code. All three of the current members of the Compensation Committee are independent under the NYSE rules and two of the members are independent under the Dutch Code. Our ESG Committee Charter states that the Committee shall be comprised of at least three directors, elected by the Board of Directors, which shall also appoint one of them as chairperson of the ESG Committee, or Chairperson. Of the directors elected to serve on the Committee, at least more than half must be independent under the Dutch Code and no more than one may be an executive director. This is a deviation from the Dutch Code which recommends that only non-executive directors serve on board committees. We allow for an executive Director to serve on the ESG Committee, because we believe that the Committee’s broad duties benefit from the presence of an executive board member. The position of Mr. Elkann, being an executive director, in this committee inter alia follows from the duties of the ESG Committee, which are more extensive than the duties of a selection and appointment committee. These duties warrant participation of Mr. Elkann, who brings valuable contributions to this committee in light of his knowledge of the automotive and luxury industries, as well as the Company’s business. Other than Mr. Elkann, who is the Chairperson, the current members of this committee are considered independent under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code and the NYSE rules.
In contrast to NYSE rules applicable to U.S. companies, which require that external auditors be appointed by the Audit Committee, the general rule under Dutch law is that external auditors are appointed by the general meeting of shareholders. In accordance with the requirements of Dutch law, the appointment and removal of our independent registered public accounting firm must be resolved upon by the general meeting of shareholders. Our Audit Committee is responsible for recommending to the shareholders the appointment and compensation of the independent registered public accounting firm and, inter alia, oversees and evaluates the work of our independent registered public accounting firm.
175



Under NYSE listing standards, shareholders of U.S. companies must be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and to approve material revisions to those plans, with limited exceptions set forth in the NYSE rules. As a foreign private issuer we are permitted to follow our home country laws regarding shareholder approval of compensation plans, and, under Dutch law, such approval from shareholders is not required for equity compensation plans for employees other than the members of the Board of Directors, provided that the authority to grant equity rights has been delegated by the general meeting of shareholders to the Board of Directors. For equity compensation plans for members of the Board of Directors and/or in the event that the authority to issue shares and/or rights to subscribe for shares has not been delegated to the Board of Directors, approval of the general meeting of shareholders is required.
While NYSE rules do not require listed companies to have shareholders approve or declare dividends, the Dutch Corporate Governance Code requires that a dividend distribution be a separate agenda item in the general meeting of shareholders, in which the annual accounts are adopted. In our case, Article 23 of our Articles of Association provides that annual dividends must be resolved upon by our general meeting of shareholders. For a discussion of our dividend policy, see “Item 8.A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Dividend Policy.”
In accordance with the corporate governance rules of the NYSE applicable to foreign private issuers, we also disclose these differences between our corporate governance practices and those required of domestic companies by the NYSE listing standards on our website at www.ferrari.com.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (PCAOB ID: 1521)

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Ferrari N.V.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Ferrari N.V. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated income statements, statements of comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, as well as International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 25, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Warranty and recall campaigns provision
Description of the Matter
As more fully described in Notes 2 and 23 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company establishes a provision for product warranties at the time a sale is recognized to guarantee the performance of vehicles against defects that may become apparent within a certain period or term. In addition, the Company periodically initiates recall campaigns to address various client satisfaction, safety and emissions issues related to cars sold. The provision includes management’s estimate of the expected cost to fulfill the obligations over the contractual warranty or campaign period. Such estimate is developed using assumptions related to expected costs to be incurred based on the group’s historical claims or costs experience, including the costs of parts and services. As at December 31, 2021 the warranty and recall campaigns provision amounts to € 109 million.

Future costs of these actions are subject to numerous uncertainties, including the enactment of new laws and regulations, the number of vehicles affected by warranty actions or recall campaigns and the nature of the corrective action that may result in reassessment of the established provision. The costs related to this provision are recognized within cost of sales.

Auditing the warranty and recall campaign provision was complex in consideration of the judgment required to develop assumptions around future costs to be incurred for warranty and recall campaigns, especially for newly launched models or vehicles, and the complexity of the calculation involved. As part of our risk assessment, we considered the risk of management override of controls.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditThe procedures performed to address the matter in our audit included, among others, obtaining an understanding of the warranty and recall campaign provisioning process, and evaluating the group’s accounting policy thereon. We evaluated the design and tested operating effectiveness of internal controls relevant to this area, specifically related to management’s assumptions developed to estimate future costs to be incurred. We evaluated the methodology, including calculation, and assumptions used by management in estimating future costs for warranty programs and recall campaigns, and assessed any changes, or the lack thereof, from the prior year. We tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data and the journal entries recorded by management.

We further completed analytical procedures over the accrued provision and retrospective analyses comparing the provisions recorded by the group against actual spending for warranty and recall service costs to evaluate the cost assumptions used by management. Lastly, we evaluated the adequacy of the warranty and recall campaign disclosures included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including significant judgements made by the management.

Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
Background
    Ferrari is among the world’s leading luxury brands. The activities of Ferrari N.V. (herein referred to as “Ferrari” or the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries the “Group”) and its subsidiaries are focused on the design, engineering, production and sale of luxury performance sports cars. The cars are designed, engineered and produced in Maranello and Modena, Italy and sold in more than 60 markets worldwide through a network of 172 authorized dealers operating 191 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 14 franchised stores (including 12 Ferrari Store Junior), as well as on Ferrari’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 with certain financial institutions. Ferrari also participates in the Formula 1 World Championship through Scuderia Ferrari. The activities of Scuderia Ferrari are a core element of Ferrari marketing and promotional activities and an important source of innovation to support the technological advancement of Ferrari range models.
Basis of preparation
Authorization of consolidated financial statements and compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
    These consolidated financial statements of Ferrari N.V. were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on February 25, 2022.
    The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), as well as IFRS as adopted by the European Union. There is no effect on these consolidated financial statements resulting from differences between IFRS as issued by the IASB and IFRS as adopted by the European Union. The designation IFRS also includes International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) as well as the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC” and “SIC”).
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and applying the historical cost method, modified as required for the measurement of certain financial instruments, which are generally measured at fair value.
    The Group’s presentation currency is the Euro, which is also the functional currency of the Company, and unless otherwise stated information is presented in thousands of Euro.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Format of the financial statements
    The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of cash flows, consolidated statement of changes in equity and the accompanying notes (referred to collectively as the “Consolidated Financial Statements”).
    For presentation of the consolidated income statement, the Group uses a classification based on the function of expenses, as it is more representative of the format used for internal reporting and management purposes and is consistent with international practice.
    In the consolidated income statement, the Group presents a subtotal for Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT). EBIT distinguishes between the profit before taxes arising from operating items and those arising from financing activities. EBIT is one of the primary measures used by the Board of Directors (the Group’s “Chief Operating Decision Maker” as defined in IFRS 8 Operating Segments) to assess performance.
F-9



Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


    For presentation of the consolidated statement of financial position, a mixed format has been selected to present current and non-current assets and liabilities, as permitted by IAS 1 paragraph 60. More specifically, the Consolidated Financial Statements include both industrial and financial services activities. Receivables from financing activities are included in current assets as the investments will be realized in their normal operating cycle. The funding for financial services activities is primarily obtained through securitization programs and funding from certain of the Group’s operating companies. This financial service structure within the Group does not allow the separation of financial liabilities funding the financial services operations (whose assets are reported within current assets) and those funding the industrial operations. Presentation of financial liabilities as current or non-current based on their date of maturity would not facilitate a meaningful comparison with financial assets, which are categorized on the basis of their normal operating cycle. Disclosure as to the due date of the various components of debt is provided in Note 24.
    The consolidated statement of cash flows is presented using the indirect method.
New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2021
    The following new amendments that are applicable on or subsequent to January 1, 2021 were adopted by the Group for the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Group adopted a package of amendments to IFRS 9 — Financial Instruments, IAS 39 — Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, IFRS 7 — Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 4 — Insurance Contracts and IFRS 16 — Leases in response to the reform of inter-bank offered rates (IBOR) and other interest rate benchmarks. The amendments aim at helping companies to provide investors with useful information about the effects of the reform on those companies’ financial statements. These amendments focus on the effects on financial statements when a company replaces the old interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate as a result of the reform. The new amendments relate to:
changes to contractual cash flows – a company is not be required to derecognize or adjust the carrying amount of financial instruments for changes required by the interest rate benchmark reform, but will instead update the effective interest rate to reflect the change to the alternative benchmark rate;
hedge accounting – a company does not have to discontinue its hedge accounting solely because it makes changes required by the interest rate benchmark reform if the hedge meets other hedge accounting criteria; and
disclosures – a company is required to disclose information about new risks that arise from the interest rate benchmark reform and how the company manages the transition to alternative benchmark rates.
There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.

The Group adopted the amendments to IFRS 4 — Insurance Contracts which deferred the expiry date of the temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.

The Group adopted the amendments to IFRS 16 for COVID-19-related rent concessions beyond 30 June 2021. The amendment extended the applicability of a previous amendment to IFRS 16 in 2020 that permits lessees, as a practical expedient, not to assess whether particular rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic are lease modifications and instead to account for those rent concessions as if they are not lease modifications, thus giving the possibility to the lessees to recognize the entire economic benefit of such discounts immediately through profit or loss. There was no significant effect from the adoption of this amendment.

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 2022 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. In June 2020 the IASB issued amendments to
F-10



Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


IFRS 17 aimed at helping companies implement IFRS 17 and make it easier for companies to explain their financial performance. The new standard and amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In January 2020 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 — Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current to clarify how to classify debt and other liabilities as current or non-current, and in particular how to classify liabilities with an uncertain settlement date and liabilities that may be settled by converting to equity. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.

In May 2020 the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 — Business combinations to update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2022. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.

In May 2020 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 16 — Property, Plant and Equipment. The amendments prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company should recognize such sales proceeds and the related cost in the income statement. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2022. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.

In May 2020 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 37 — Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, which specify which costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2022. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.

In May 2020 the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018 - 2020 Cycle. The improvements have amended four standards with effective date January 1, 2022: i) IFRS 1 — First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards in relation to allowing a subsidiary to measure cumulative translation differences using amounts reported by its parent, ii) IFRS 9 — Financial Instruments in relation to which fees an entity includes when applying the ‘10 percent’ test for derecognition of financial liabilities, iii) IAS 41 — Agriculture in relation to the exclusion of taxation cash flows when measuring the fair value of a biological asset, and iv) IFRS 16 — Leases in relation to an illustrative example of reimbursement for leasehold improvements. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.

In February 2021 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 — Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies which require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies and provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.

In February 2021 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8 — Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates which clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.

In May 2021 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 — Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities Arising From a Single Transaction that clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.

In December 2021 the IASB issued an amendments to IFRS 17 — Insurance Contracts: Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 - Comparative Information, which provides a transition option relating to comparative information about financial assets presented on initial application of IFRS 17. The amendment is aimed at helping entities to avoid temporary accounting mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract liabilities, and therefore improve the usefulness of

comparative information for users of financial statements. The amendment is effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of this amendment.

Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
    Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. Control is achieved when the Group has power over the investee, when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated on a line by line basis from the date on which the Group achieves control. The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
    The Group recognizes any non-controlling interests (“NCI”) in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Net profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income/(loss) are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income/(loss) of subsidiaries is attributed to owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
    All significant intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealized gains and losses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements.
    Subsidiaries are deconsolidated from the date when control ceases. When the Group ceases to have control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary at their carrying amounts, derecognizes the carrying amount of non-controlling interests in the former subsidiary and recognizes the fair value of any consideration received from the transaction. Any retained interest in the former subsidiary is then remeasured to its fair value.
    In 2016 the Group sold a majority stake in Ferrari Financial Services GmbH. From such date, the Group’s remaining interest has been remeasured at fair value and accounted for using the equity method.
Interests in associates
    An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but without having control or joint control over those policies. Associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting from the date significant influence is obtained.
    Under the equity method, the investments are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the profit/(loss) and other comprehensive income/(loss) of the investee. The Group’s share of the investee’s profit/(loss) is recognized in the consolidated income statement. Distributions received from an investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income/(loss) are recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss) with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment.
    Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associate. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
    When the Group’s share of the losses of an associate exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate, the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
    The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date the investment ceases to be an associate or when it is classified as available-for-sale.
F-12



Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Interests in joint operations
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
    When the Group undertakes its activities under joint operations, it recognizes in relation to its interest in the joint operation: (i) its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly, (ii) its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly, (iii) its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation, (iv) its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation, and (v) its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.
Foreign currency transactions
    The functional currency of the Group’s entities is the currency of their primary economic environment. In individual companies, transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the foreign currency exchange rate prevailing at that date. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on reporting monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the period or in previous financial statements are recognized in the consolidated income statement.
Consolidation of foreign entities
    All assets and liabilities of foreign consolidated companies with a functional currency other than the Euro are translated using the closing rates at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position. Income and expenses are translated into Euro at the average foreign currency exchange rate for the period. Translation differences resulting from the application of this method are classified as currency translation differences within other comprehensive income/(loss) until the disposal of the investment. Average foreign currency exchange rates for the period are used to translate the cash flows of foreign subsidiaries in preparing the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Goodwill, assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from the acquisition of entities with a functional currency other than the Euro are recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the functional currency and translated at the foreign currency exchange rate at the acquisition date. These balances are translated at subsequent balance sheet dates at the relevant foreign currency exchange rate.

Intangible assets
Goodwill
    Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Development costs
Development costs for car project production and related components, engines and systems are recognized as an asset if, and only if, both of the following conditions under IAS 38 Intangible Assets are met: that development costs can be measured reliably and that the technical feasibility of the product, volumes and pricing support the view that the development expenditure will generate future economic benefits. Capitalized development costs include all direct and indirect costs that may be directly attributed to the development process. All other research and development costs are expensed as incurred, net of any government grants received.
Capitalized development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis from the start of production over the estimated lifecycle of the model or the useful life of the related components or other assets (generally between four and eight years).
The Group incurs significant research and development costs through the Formula 1 racing activities. These costs are considered fundamental to the development of the range and track car models and prototypes. Technological developments and changes in the regulations of the Formula 1 World Championship generally require the Group to design, develop and construct a new racing car to be used for one year only. The costs incurred for the design, development and construction of a new racing car are generally expensed as incurred unless the technology will be used for more than one year and the costs meet the capitalization criteria in IAS 38.
Patents, concessions and licenses
    Separately acquired patents, concessions and licenses are initially recognized at cost. Patents, concessions and licenses acquired in a business combination are initially recognized at fair value. Patents, concessions and licenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful economic lives, which is generally between three and five years.
Other intangible assets
    Other intangible assets mainly relate to the registration of trademarks and have been recognized in accordance with IAS 38 Intangible Assets, where it is probable that the use of the asset will generate future economic benefits for the Group and where the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Other intangible assets are measured at cost less any impairment losses and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated life, which is generally between three and five years.
F-14



Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Property, plant and equipment
Cost
    Property, plant and equipment is initially recognized at cost which comprises the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, capitalized borrowing costs and any initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Self-constructed assets are initially recognized at production cost. Subsequent expenditures and the cost of replacing parts of an asset are capitalized only if they increase the future economic benefits embodied in that asset. All other expenditures are expensed as incurred. When such replacement costs are capitalized, the carrying amount of the parts that are replaced is recognized as a loss in the period of replacement in the consolidated income statement.
Depreciation
    Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Depreciation rates
Industrial buildings
3% - 20%
Plant, machinery and equipment
5% - 22%
Other assets
12% - 25%
    Land is not depreciated.

    If the asset being depreciated consists of separately identifiable components whose useful lives differ from that of the other parts making up the asset, depreciation is charged separately for each of its component parts through application of the ‘component approach’.
Leases
    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 payments 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
F-15



Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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).
Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in net financial expenses if related to the Group’s industrial activities or cost of sales if related to the Group’s financial services activities in the consolidated income statement, as incurred.
Impairment of assets
The Group continuously monitors its operations to assess whether there is any indication that its intangible assets (including development costs) and its property, plant and equipment may be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently, if there is an indication that an asset may be impaired.
If indications of impairment are present, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for the individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the asset is tested as part of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. In assessing the value in use of an asset or CGU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. An impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount.
Where an impairment loss for assets other than goodwill, subsequently no longer exists or has decreased, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized. The reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement immediately.
Financial instruments
Presentation
    Current financial assets include trade receivables, receivables from financing activities, derivative financial instruments, other current financial assets and cash and cash equivalents.
    Investments and other financial assets include investments accounted for using the equity method as well as other securities and non-current financial assets.
    Financial liabilities include debt (which primarily includes bonds, notes, asset-backed financing (securitizations) and borrowings from banks), trade payables and other financial liabilities, which mainly include derivative financial instruments.
Measurement
    Financial assets, other than investments accounted for using the equity method, and financial liabilities are measured in accordance with IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments.
    Except for investments accounted for using the equity method, the Group initially measures financial assets at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs.
F-16



Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


    Equity instruments held by the Group are recognized at fair value through profit or loss. When market prices are not directly available, the fair value is measured using appropriate valuation techniques (e.g. discounted cash flow analysis based on market information available at the balance sheet date). As permitted by IFRS 9, equity investments for which there is no quoted market price in an active market and there is insufficient financial information in order to determine fair value may be measured at cost as an estimate of fair value.
    Trade receivables and receivables from financing activities are originated in the ordinary course of business and held within a business model with the objective to hold the receivables in order to collect contractual cash flows that meet the ‘solely payments of principal and interest’ criterion under IFRS 9, therefore they are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Receivables with maturities greater than one year are discounted to present value. Assessments are made regularly as to whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets may be impaired and, if any such evidence exists, an impairment loss is recognized within financial expenses. Under IFRS 9, a forward-looking expected credit loss model must be applied when assessing impairment. In making impairment assessments, the Group applies the standard simplified approach to estimate the lifetime expected credit losses and considers its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the nature of the Group’s receivables and economic environment, which may be different for the Group’s trade receivables compared to receivables from financing activities. If any such evidence exists, an impairment loss is recognized within financial expenses.
The Group considers a default to occur and a significant increase in credit risk to occur when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within a certain number of days of when they fall due. For example, for receivables from financing activities this typically occurs when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 60 days of when the related receivables fall due, while for trade receivables this is assessed on a case by case basis.
Financial assets and trade receivable are written off when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments and there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, and in any circumstance no later than 360 days. When trade receivables or receivables from financing activities have been written off, the Company may continue to engage in enforcement actions to attempt to recover the receivables.
    Financial liabilities, with the exception of derivative financial instruments, are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Derivative financial instruments
    Derivative financial instruments are used for economic hedging purposes only in order to reduce financial risks and in particular, foreign currency risks. Derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting only when at the inception of the hedge there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship, the hedge is expected to be highly effective, its effectiveness can be reliably measured and it is highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which it is designated.
    All derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value.
When derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting, the following accounting treatments apply:
Cash flow hedges — Where a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the exposure to variability in future cash flows of a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecasted transaction and could affect the consolidated income statement, the effective portion of any gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument is recognized directly in other comprehensive income/(loss). The cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from other comprehensive income/(loss) to the consolidated income statement at the same time as the economic effect arising from the hedged item affects the consolidated income statement. The gain or loss associated with a hedge or part of a hedge that has become ineffective is recognized in the consolidated income statement immediately within net financial income/expenses. When a hedging instrument or hedge relationship is terminated but the hedged transaction is still expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss realized to the point of termination remains in other comprehensive income/(loss) and is recognized in the consolidated income statement at the same time as the underlying transaction occurs. If the hedged transaction is no longer probable, the cumulative unrealized gain or loss held in other comprehensive income/(loss) is recognized in the consolidated income statement immediately.
    The Group does not use fair value hedges or hedges of a net investment.

Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


    If hedge accounting cannot be applied, the gains or losses from the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments are recognized immediately within financial expenses.
Transfers of financial assets
    The Group sells certain of its receivables from financing activities under securitization programs. Securitization transactions involve the sale of a financial receivables portfolio to a special purpose vehicle, which in turn finances the purchase of such financial receivables by issuing asset-backed securities in the form of notes whose repayment of principal and interest depends on the cash flows generated by the related financial receivables. The receivables sold as part of securitization programs are consolidated until collection from the customer as they do not meet the requirements for derecognition in accordance with IFRS 9.
    The Group may also sell certain of its trade receivables through factoring transactions without recourse. The Group derecognizes the financial assets when, and only when, the contractual rights and risks to the cash flows arising from the related financial assets are no longer held or the Group has transferred the financial assets. In the case of a transfer of financial assets, if the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets, it derecognizes such assets and separately recognizes as assets or liabilities any rights and obligations created or retained in the transfer. On derecognition of financial assets, the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and the consideration received or receivable for the transfer of the assets is recognized within cost of sales in the consolidated income statement.
Trade receivables
    Trade receivables are amounts due from clients for goods sold or services provided in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any provision for allowances.
Inventories
    Inventories of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, cost being determined on a first-in first-out (FIFO) basis. The measurement of inventories includes the direct costs of materials, labor and indirect costs (variable and fixed). Purchase costs include ancillary costs. Prototypes are recognized at their estimated realizable value, if lower than production cost. Provision is made for obsolete and slow-moving raw materials, finished goods, spare parts and other supplies based on their expected future use and realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs for sale and distribution.
Cash and cash equivalents
    Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Employee benefits
Defined contribution plans
    Costs arising from defined contribution plans are expensed as incurred.
Defined benefit plans
    The Group’s net obligations are determined separately for each plan by estimating the present value of future benefits that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, and deducting the fair value of any plan assets. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is measured using actuarial techniques and actuarial assumptions that are unbiased and mutually compatible and attributes benefits to periods in which the obligation to provide post-employment benefits arise by using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
F-18



Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


    The components of the defined benefit cost are recognized as follows:
the service costs are recognized in the consolidated income statement by function and presented in the relevant line items (cost of sales, selling, general and administrative costs, research and development costs, etc.);
the net interest on the defined benefit liability is recognized in the consolidated income statement as net financial income /(expenses), and is determined by multiplying the net liability/(asset) by the discount rate used to discount obligations taking into account the effect of contributions and benefit payments made during the year; and
the remeasurement components of the net obligations, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and any change in the effect of the asset ceiling are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income/(loss). These remeasurement components are not reclassified in the consolidated income statement in a subsequent period.
Other long-term employee benefits
    The Group’s obligations represent the present value of future benefits that employees have earned in return for their service during the current and prior periods. Remeasurement components on other long-term employee benefits are recognized in the consolidated income statement in the period in which they arise.
Share-based compensation
    The Group has implemented equity incentive plans that provide for the granting of share-based compensation to the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, all other members of the Ferrari Leadership Team and other key employees of the Group. The Group also provides share-based compensation as part of commercial agreements with certain suppliers. The share-based compensation arrangements are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 — Share-based Payment, which requires the Company to recognize share-based compensation expense based on fair value of 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 a 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 relating to the equity incentive plans 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. Share-based compensation expense relating to commercial agreements with certain suppliers is recognized over the period in which the supplier’s services are received and classified within the consolidated income statement depending on the function of the supplier’s services, with an offsetting increase to equity.
Provisions
    Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
Warranty and recall campaigns provision
    All cars are sold with warranty coverage. The warranty coverage generally applies to defects that may become apparent within a certain period from the purchase of the car.
    The warranty provision is recognized at the time of the sale of the car, based on the present value of management’s estimate of the expected cost to fulfill the obligations over the contractual warranty period. Estimates are principally based on the Group’s historical claims or costs experience and the cost of parts and services to be incurred in the activities. The costs related to these provisions are recognized within cost of sales at the time when they are probable and reasonably estimable.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


    See “Use of estimates” below for further details.
Deferred income
    Deferred income relates to amounts received by the Group under various agreements, which are reliant on the future performance of a service or other act of the Group. Deferred income is recognized as net revenues when the Group has fulfilled its obligations under the terms of the various agreements.
Range models (models belonging to the Ferrari product portfolio, excluding special series, Icona, limited edition hypercars and one-off models) are sold with a scheduled maintenance program to ensure that the cars are maintained to the highest standards to meet the Group’s strict requirements for performance and safety. Amounts attributable to the maintenance program are not recognized as income immediately, but are deferred over the maintenance program term. The amount of the deferred income related to this program, is based on the estimated fair value of the service to be provided.
Advances
    Advances relate to amounts received from or billed to customers in advance of having delivered the related cars or provided the related services.
Revenue recognition
    Revenue is recognized when control over a product or service is transferred to a customer. Revenue is measured at the transaction price which is based on the amount of consideration that the Group expects to receive in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to the customer and excludes any sales incentives as well as taxes collected from customers that are remitted to government authorities. The transaction price will include estimates of variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. The Group enters into contracts that may include both products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.
    The Group generates revenue from the sale of cars, spare parts and engines as well as from sponsorship, commercial and brand activities. The Group accounts for a contract with a customer when there is a legally enforceable contract between the Group and the customer, the rights of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of the contract consideration is probable. Payments from customers are typically due within 30 and 40 days of invoicing.
    The Group does not recognize any assets associated with the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer that are expected to be recovered. The majority of revenue is recognized at a point-in-time or over a period of one year or less, and the Group applies the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that would otherwise be recognized is one year or less.
Cars, spare parts and engines
    The sales of cars, spare parts and engines have multiple performance obligations that include products, services, or a combination of products and services as contracts may include maintenance programs and extended warranties that are separately priced or not separately priced. Contracts may also include variable consideration for discounts such as sales incentives and performance based bonuses and product returns. The cost of incentives is estimated at the inception of a contract at the expected amount that will ultimately be paid and is recognized as a reduction to revenue at the time of the sale. Revenues recognized are limited to the amount of consideration the Group expects to receive. The Group allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations based on the stand alone selling prices (SSP) for each obligation. When the SSP does not exist, the Group estimates the SSP based on the adjusted market approach.
    Revenues for the sale of cars, spare parts and engines are recognized at a point in time when control of the cars, spare parts or engines is transferred to the customer based on shipping terms, which generally corresponds to the date when the cars, spare parts and engines are released to the carrier responsible for transportation to dealers or Maserati. Revenues relating to the maintenance program are recognized over time based on the input method of measuring progress towards complete satisfaction of the related performance obligation, calculated as a proportion of overall revenues expected during the maintenance period equal to the ratio of costs incurred in the reporting period compared to the overall costs to be incurred

Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


during the maintenance period. Revenues relating to the extended warranties are recognized on a straight-line basis over the extended warranty period. Revenues from the supply of engines and related services to other Formula 1 racing teams are recognized over time on a time and materials basis when the services are provided.
    Management has exercised judgment in determining performance obligations, variable consideration, allocation of transaction price and the timing of revenue recognition.
Sponsorship, commercial and brand activities
    Revenues from sponsorship agreements are generally recognized ratably over the contract term as the customer benefits from the service throughout the service period. For sponsorship agreements that contain variable consideration based on performance of the racing team, the related revenues are estimated and recognized over the relevant period to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur, which is typically when it is considered highly probable that the related conditions associated with the variable consideration will be achieved.
    Revenues from commercial activities primarily relate to the revenues from participating in the Formula 1 World Championship. The revenues attributable to each racing team are governed by a specific agreement and depend upon, among other factors, the prior year ranking of each of the racing teams. Revenues of the commercial activities are recognized ratably over the contract term.
    Revenues from brand licensing agreements where the customer has a right to access the Group’s brands or the contract includes minimum guaranteed payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Licensing revenues in excess of the minimum guaranteed payments are recognized when the related conditions are satisfied. Revenues from sales-based licensing agreements are recognized when the sales occur.
    Management has exercised judgment in determining variable consideration.
Other revenues
    Interest income generated by our financial service activities from the provision of client and dealer financing is reported within revenues using the effective interest rate method and not within net financial income/expenses.
Cost of sales
    Cost of sales comprises expenses incurred in the manufacturing and distribution of cars and parts, including the engines rented to other Formula 1 racing teams, of which, cost of materials, components and labor costs are the most significant portion. The remaining costs principally include depreciation, amortization, insurance and transportation costs. Cost of sales also includes warranty and product-related costs, which are estimated and recorded at the time of sale of the car.
    Expenses which are directly attributable to the financial services companies, including the interest expenses related to their financing as a whole and provisions for risks and write-downs of assets, are also reported in cost of sales.
Other expenses and other income
Other expenses consist of miscellaneous costs which cannot be allocated to specific functional areas, such as indirect taxes, accruals for provisions not attributable to cost of sales or selling, general and administrative costs, and other miscellaneous expenses.
Other income consists of miscellaneous income that is not directly attributable to the sale of goods or services, such as gains on the disposal of property plant and equipment, the release of certain provisions originally recognized as other expenses, rental income and other miscellaneous income.

Taxes
    Income taxes include all taxes based upon the taxable profits of the Group. Current and deferred taxes are recognized as income or expense and are included in the consolidated income statement for the period, except tax arising from (i) a transaction or event which is recognized, in the same or a different period, either in other comprehensive income/(loss) or directly in equity, or (ii) a business combination.
    Deferred taxes are accounted using the full liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities and their tax base, except to the extent that the deferred tax liabilities arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized, unless the deferred tax assets arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the substantively enacted tax rates in the respective jurisdictions in which the Group operates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or liability is settled. Any remeasurements to deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of changes in substantially enacted tax rates are recognized in the income statement.
The recoverability of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Group’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in the period in which it is assumed that the deductible temporary differences reverse and tax losses carried forward can be utilized. In making this assessment, the Group considers future taxable income arising on the most recent budgets and plans, prepared by using the same criteria described for testing the impairment of assets and goodwill, moreover, it estimates the impact of the reversal of taxable temporary differences on earnings and it also considers the period over which these assets could be recovered. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reduced to the extent that it is not probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of the deferred tax assets to be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date.
    The Group recognizes deferred tax liabilities associated with the existence of a subsidiary’s undistributed profits, except when it is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that this temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The Group recognizes deferred tax assets associated with the deductible temporary differences on investments in subsidiaries only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.
    Deferred tax assets relating to the carry-forward of unused tax losses and tax credits, as well as those arising from deductible temporary differences, are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future profits will be available against which they can be utilized.
    Current income taxes and deferred taxes are offset when they relate to the same taxation authority and there is a legally enforceable right of offset.
    Italian Regional Income Tax (“IRAP”) is recognized within income tax expense. IRAP 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 applied on the tax base at 3.9 percent for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.
    Tax uncertainties are accounted for in accordance with IFRIC 23.
Other taxes not based on income, such as property taxes and capital taxes, are included in other expenses, net.
Dividends
    Dividends payable by the Group are reported as a change in equity in the period in which they are approved by shareholders or the Board of Directors as applicable under local rules and regulations.

Rounding of amounts
    All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest thousand Euro unless otherwise stated.

Segment reporting
    The Group has determined that it has one operating and one reportable segment based on the information reviewed by the Board of Directors (the Group’s “Chief Operating Decision Maker” as defined in IFRS 8 — Operating Segments) in making decisions regarding the allocation of resources and to assess performance.

Use of estimates
    The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS which require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the amounts of income and expenses recognized. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on elements that are known when the financial statements are prepared, on historical experience and on any other factors that are considered to be relevant.
    The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed periodically and continuously by the Group. If the items subject to estimates do not perform as assumed, then the actual results could differ from the estimates, which would require adjustment accordingly. The effects of any changes in estimate are recognized in the consolidated income statement in the period in which the adjustment is made, or prospectively in future periods.
    The items requiring estimates for which there is a risk that a material difference may arise in respect of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the future are discussed below.
    Recoverability of non-current assets with definite useful lives
    Non-current assets with definite useful lives include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Intangible assets with definite useful lives mainly consist of capitalized development costs.
    The Group periodically reviews the carrying amount of non-current assets with definite useful lives when events and circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. Impairment tests are performed by comparing the carrying amount and the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”). The recoverable amount is the higher of the CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU.
    For the period covered by these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Group has not recognized any impairment charges for non-current assets with definite useful lives.
    Recoverability of goodwill
    In accordance with IAS 36 — Impairment of Assets, goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if facts or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.
    As the Group is composed of one operating segment, goodwill is tested at the Group level, which represents the lowest level within the Group at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes in accordance with IAS 36. The impairment test is performed by comparing the carrying amount (which mainly comprises property, plant and equipment, goodwill and capitalized development costs) and the recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount of the CGU is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
F-23



Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    For the period covered by these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Group has not recognized any impairment charges for goodwill.
    Development costs
    Development costs are capitalized if the conditions under IAS 38 — Intangible Assets have been met. The starting point for capitalization is based upon the technological and commercial feasibility of the project, which is usually when a product development project has reached a defined milestone according to the Group’s established product development model. Feasibility is based on management’s judgment which is formed on the basis of estimated future cash flows. Capitalization ceases and amortization of capitalized development costs begins on start of production of the relevant project.
    The amortization of development costs requires management to estimate the lifecycle of the related model or assets. Any changes in such assumptions would impact the amortization charge recorded and the carrying amount of capitalized development costs. The periodic amortization charge is derived after determining the expected lifecycle of the related model or assets and, if applicable any expected residual value at the end of its life. Increasing an asset’s expected lifecycle or its residual value would result in a reduced amortization charge in the consolidated income statement.
    The useful lives and residual values of the Group’s models are determined by management at the time of capitalization and reviewed annually for appropriateness and recoverability. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events which may impact their life such as changes in technology. Historically changes in useful lives and residual values have not resulted in material changes to the Group’s amortization charge or estimated recoverability of the related assets.
    Product warranty liabilities
    The Group establishes reserves for product warranties at the time the sale is recognized. The Group issues various types of product warranties under which the performance of products delivered is generally guaranteed for a certain period or term, which is generally defined by the legislation in the country where the car is sold. The reserve for product warranties includes the expected costs of warranty obligations imposed by law or contract, as well as the expected costs for policy coverage. The estimated future costs of these actions are principally based on assumptions regarding the lifetime warranty costs of each car line and each model year of that car line, as well as historical claims experience for the Group’s cars. In addition, the number and magnitude of additional service actions expected to be approved, and policies related to additional service actions, are taken into consideration. Due to the uncertainty and potential volatility of these estimated factors, changes in the assumptions used could materially affect the results of operations.
    The Group periodically initiates voluntary service actions to address various client satisfaction, safety and emissions issues related to cars sold. Included in the reserve is the estimated cost of these services and recall actions. The estimated future costs of these actions are based primarily on historical claims experience for the Group’s cars and the cost of parts and services to be incurred in the specified activities, and are recognized at the time when they are probable and reasonably estimable. Estimates of the future costs of these actions are inevitably imprecise due to several uncertainties, including the number of cars affected by a service or recall action. It is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost of these service and recall actions may require the Group to make expenditures in excess of (or less than) established reserves over an extended period of time. The estimate of warranty and additional service obligations is periodically reviewed during the year.
    In addition, the Group makes provisions for estimated product liability costs arising from property damage and personal injuries including wrongful death, and potential exemplary or punitive damages alleged to be the result of product defects. By nature, these costs can be infrequent, difficult to predict, and have the potential to vary significantly in amount. Costs associated with these provisions are recorded in the consolidated income statement and any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the period in which the adjustment is determined.
    Share-based compensation
    The Group accounts for share-based compensation relating to its equity incentive plans and commercial agreements with certain suppliers in accordance with IFRS 2 — Share-based Payment, which requires the recognition of share-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the awards granted. Share-based compensation for equity-settled awards containing market performance conditions is measured at the grant date of the awards using a Monte Carlo simulation model,
F-24



Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of our common stock, the dividend yield, interest rates and the correlation coefficient between our common stock and the relevant market index. The probability that the Group will achieve a certain level of Total Shareholder Return performance compared to the defined peer group (“Peer Group”) is also considered. As a result, at the grant date management is required to make key assumptions and estimates regarding conditions that will occur in the future, which inherently involves uncertainty. Therefore, the amount of share-based compensation recognized has been affected by the significant assumptions and estimates used.
    Other contingent liabilities
    The Group makes provisions in connection with pending or threatened disputes or legal proceedings when it is considered probable that there will be an outflow of funds and when the amount can be reasonably estimated. If an outflow of funds becomes possible but the amount cannot be estimated, the matter is disclosed in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Group is the subject of legal and tax proceedings covering a wide range of matters in various jurisdictions. Due to the uncertainty inherent in such matters, it is difficult to predict the outflow of funds that could result from such disputes with any certainty. Moreover, the cases and claims against the Group often derive from complex legal issues which are subject to a differing degree of uncertainty, including the facts and circumstances of each particular case and the manner in which applicable law is likely to be interpreted and applied to such fact and circumstances, and the jurisdiction and the different laws involved. The Group monitors the status of pending legal proceedings and consults with experts on legal and tax matters on a regular basis. It is therefore possible that the provisions for the Group’s legal proceedings and litigation may vary as the result of future developments in pending matters.
    Litigation
    Various legal proceedings, claims and governmental investigations are pending against the Group on a wide range of topics, including car safety, emissions and fuel economy, early warning reporting, dealer, supplier and other contractual relationships, intellectual property rights and product warranties matters. Some of these proceedings allege defects in specific component parts or systems (including airbags, seatbelts, brakes, transmissions, engines and fuel systems) in various car models or allege general design defects relating to car handling and stability, sudden unintended movement or crashworthiness. These proceedings seek recovery for damage to property, personal injuries or wrongful death and in some cases could include a claim for exemplary or punitive damages. Adverse decisions in one or more of these proceedings could require the Group to pay substantial damages, or undertake service actions, recall campaigns or other costly actions.
    Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance. An accrual is established in connection with pending or threatened litigation if a loss is probable and a reliable estimate can be made. Since these accruals represent estimates, it is reasonably possible that the resolution of some of these matters could require the Group to make payments in excess of the amounts accrued. It is also reasonably possible that the resolution of some of the matters for which accruals could not be made may require the Group to make payments in an amount or range of amounts that could not be reasonably estimated.
    The term “reasonably possible” is used herein to mean that the chance of a future transaction or event occurring is more than remote but less than probable. Although the final resolution of any such matters could have a material effect on the Group’s operating results for the particular reporting period in which an adjustment of the estimated reserve is recorded, it is believed that any resulting adjustment would not materially affect the consolidated financial position of the Group.
Current and deferred taxes
The calculation of current and deferred income taxes, including various tax benefits, exemptions or credits (such as patent box tax benefits, asset revaluations and research and development credits), involves the interpretation of applicable tax laws and regulations that could be subject to changes or application directives from tax authorities. As a result, the calculation of current and deferred taxes, including those related to uncertain tax positions, may require complex management estimates and judgments that are periodically reviewed for any changes in facts and circumstances or changes in tax regulations and interpretations. Such judgments are primarily related to the recoverability of deferred long-term tax assets, which involves the assessment of the ability to generate sufficient future taxable profit over the period in which the deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses are expected to be utilized, as well as to the calculation of certain tax benefits and liabilities.

    The non-controlling interests in FICTS are not considered to be significant to the Group for the periods presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Restrictions
    The Group may be subject to restrictions which limit its ability to use cash in relation to its interest in FICTS. In particular, cash held in China is subject to certain repatriation restrictions and may only be repatriated as a repayment of payables or debt, or through a payment of dividends or capital distributions. The Group does not believe that such transfer restrictions have any adverse impacts on its ability to meet liquidity requirements. Cash held in China at December 31, 2021 amounted to €89,611 thousand (€55,566 thousand at December 31, 2020).
    Cash collected from the settlement of receivables under securitization programs is subject to certain restrictions regarding its use and is principally applied to repay principal and interest of the related funding. Such cash amounted to €47,742 thousand at December 31, 2021 (€36,935 thousand at December 31, 2020).

    The Italian Group’s entities participate in a group Italian tax consolidation under Ferrari N.V.    
Income tax expense amounted to €209,095 thousand, €58,155 thousand and €176,656 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 benefited from the application of the Patent Box tax regime, which provides tax benefits for companies that generate income through the use, both direct and indirect, of intangible assets. Starting in 2020 the Group has applied the Patent Box tax regime for the period from 2020 to 2024, in line with the tax regulations applicable in Italy, and determined the income eligible for the Patent Box regime with recognition of the Patent Box tax benefit in three equal annual installments.

The Law Decree (Decree) n. 146 enacted by the Italian authorities, effective from October 22, 2021 and as amended by the 2022 Italian budget law, introduces a series of urgent economic and tax measures and will replace the current Patent Box tax regime with a 110% “super tax deduction” for certain costs related to eligible intangible assets. The Decree provides for a specific transitional procedure between the two regimes. The Decree and related amendments should not have any impact on income taxes of the Group for the years ended December 31, 2021 and management will continue to follow updates in the legislation as they become known.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, Ferrari benefited from the measures introduced in Italy by the art. 110 of the Law Decree n. 104/2020, converted in the Law n. 126/2020, enacting “Urgent measures to support and relaunch the economy”, which reopened the voluntary step up of tangible and intangible assets, with the application of a substitute tax at a rate of 3 percent. In particular, Ferrari S.p.A. benefited from the one-time partial step-up of its trademark for tax purposes, which resulted in the recognition in 2020 of deferred tax assets for €83,700 thousand and a substitute tax liability for €9,000 thousand, resulting in a net tax benefit of €74,700 thousand. There was no cash effect in 2020 from the step-up of the trademark. The deferred tax asset will be utilized over a 50-year period (following the introduction of the 2022 Italian budget law (Law 234/2021) which provides for an extension from 18 years to 50 years of the amortization period for tax purposes for any trademarks and goodwill that benefited from the step-up regime) and the substitute tax will be paid in three equal annual installments starting in 2021.

The increase in the effective tax rate from 8.7 percent in 2020 to 20.1 percent in 2021 was primarily attributable to the tax benefits from the measures introduced in Italy by the art. 110 of the Law Decree No. 104/2020, converted in the Law n. 126/2020, enacting Urgent measures to support and relaunch the economy”, which allowed Ferrari a one-time partial step-up of its trademark for tax purposes resulting in a net tax benefit of 74,700 thousand in 2020 (as further described above) and to a lesser extent, the effects of deductions for eligible research and development costs. The net benefit from the step up is included within “permanent and other differences” for 2020 in the tax rate reconciliation above. The Patent Box benefit relating to 2021, 2020 and 2019 is included within “permanent and other differences” in the tax rate reconciliation above.

The Italian Regional Income Tax (“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 years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

See Note 21 “Share-Based Compensation” for additional details related to the Group’s equity incentive plans.

13. GOODWILL
    At December 31, 2021 and 2020 goodwill amounted to €785,182 thousand.
    In accordance with IAS 36, goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if facts or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. Impairment testing is performed by comparing the carrying amount and the recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount of the CGU is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
    The assumptions used in this process represent management’s best estimate for the period under consideration. The estimate of the value in use of the CGU for purposes of performing the annual impairment test was based on the following assumptions:
The expected future cash flows covering the period from 2022 through 2025 have been derived from the Ferrari business plan. In particular the estimate considers expected EBITDA adjusted to reflect the expected capital expenditure. These cash flows relate to the CGU in its condition when preparing the financial statements and exclude the estimated cash flows that might arise from restructuring plans or other structural changes. Volumes and sales mix used for estimating the future cash flows are based on assumptions that are considered reasonable and sustainable and represent the best estimate of expected conditions regarding market trends for the CGU over the period considered.
F-35



Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The expected future cash flows include a normalized terminal period used to estimate the future results beyond the time period explicitly considered, which were calculated by using the specific medium/long-term growth rate for the sector equal to 2.0 percent in 2021 (2.0 percent in 2020 and 2019).
The expected future cash flows have been estimated in Euro, and discounted using a post-tax discount rate appropriate for that currency, determined by using a base WACC of 6.84 percent in 2021 (6.83 percent in 2020 and 6.80 percent in 2019). The WACC used reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money for the period being considered and the risks specific to the CGU under consideration.
    The recoverable amount of the CGU was significantly higher than its carrying amount. Furthermore, the exclusivity of the business, its historical profitability and its future earnings prospects indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill will continue to be recoverable, even in the event of difficult economic and market conditions.

    Cash flow hedges
    The effects recognized in the consolidated income statement mainly relate to currency risk management and in particular the exposure to fluctuations in the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate for sales in U.S. Dollars.
    The policy of the Group for managing foreign currency risk normally requires hedging of a portion of projected future cash flows from trading activities and orders acquired (or contracts in progress) in foreign currencies that will occur within the following 12 months. Derivatives relating to foreign currency risk management are treated as cash flow hedges where the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting. The amounts recorded in the cash flow hedge reserve within other comprehensive income will be recognized in the consolidated income statement according to the timing of the flows of the underlying transactions. Management believes that substantially all of the hedging effects arising from these derivative contracts and recorded in the cash flow hedge reserve will be recognized in the consolidated income statement within the following 12 months from the reporting date.
    The Group reclassified gains and losses, net of the related tax effects, from other comprehensive income/(loss) to the consolidated income statement as follows:

20. EQUITY
Share capital
    At December 31, 2021 and 2020 the fully paid up share capital of the Company was €2,573 thousand, consisting of 193,923,499 common shares and 63,349,112 special voting shares, all with a nominal value of €0.01. At December 31, 2021, the Company had 10,080,103 common shares and 4,190 special voting shares held in treasury, while at December 31, 2020, the Company had 9,175,609 common shares and 2,190 special voting shares. Shares in treasury include shares repurchased under the Group’s share repurchase program, which are recorded based on the transaction trade date. The increase in common shares held in treasury primarily reflects the repurchase of shares by the Company through its share repurchase program, partially offset by shares assigned under the Group’s equity incentive plans. The Company restarted its multi-year share repurchase program on March 12, 2021 following its temporary suspension from March 30, 2020 as part of actions implemented by management to prudently manage liquidity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. At December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company held in treasury 3.92 percent and 3.57 percent of the total issued share capital of the Company, respectively.(1)
______________________________________
(1)The percentage of shares held in treasury compared to total issued share capital remains substantially the same if calculated considering only common shares held in treasury or if calculated considering common shares and special voting shares held in treasury.

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 of Ferrari from the Stellantis Group (previously referred to as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. or FCA prior to the merger between FCA and Peugeot S.A. completed on January 16, 2021, which resulted in the creation of Stellantis N.V.) in 2016, 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 purchase common shares 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 affected 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 shareholder meetings. Only a minimal dividend accrues to the special voting shares allocated to a separate special dividend reserve, and the special voting shares do not carry any entitlement to any other reserve of the Group. The special voting shares have only immaterial economic entitlements and, as a result, do not impact the Company’s earnings per share calculation.
Retained earnings and other reserves
    Retained earnings and other reserves includes:
a share premium reserve of €5,768,544 thousand at December 31, 2021 (€5,768,544 thousand at December 31, 2020).

In the first quarter of 2021, 212,243 PSU awards vested (representing 100 percent of the target PSU awards) as a result of Ferrari’s third place ranking in Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) within the defined Peer Group for the performance period from 2016 to 2020, and 31,120 RSU awards vested upon achievement of the related service conditions. As a result, 243,363 common shares, which were previously held in treasury, were assigned to participants of the plan in the first quarter of 2021. There are no further awards outstanding for the Equity Incentive Plan 2016-2020.

Fair values and key assumptions
The fair value of the PSU awards used for accounting purposes was measured at the grant date using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The fair value of the RSU awards was 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.
The fair value of the PSUs and RSUs that were awarded under the equity incentive plans, which is determined based on actuarial calculations that apply certain assumptions and take into consideration the specific characteristics of the awards granted, is summarized in the following table.

    The Group’s provisions for employee benefits are as follows:

Italian employee severance indemnity (TFR)18,430 19,825

Other provisions for employees82,770 40,055 
Total provisions for employee benefits101,200 59,985 
    Defined contribution plans
    The Group recognizes the cost for defined contribution plans over the period in which the employee renders service and classifies this by function in cost of sales, selling, general and administrative costs and research and development costs. The total income statement expense for defined contributions plans in the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was €15,729 thousand, €15,727 thousand and €13,650 thousand, respectively.
    Defined benefit obligations
    Italian employee severance indemnity (TFR)
    Trattamento di fine rapporto or “TFR” relates to the amounts that employees in Italy are entitled to receive when they leave the company and is calculated based on the period of employment and the taxable earnings of each employee. Under certain conditions the entitlement may be partially advanced to an employee during the employee’s working life.
    The Italian legislation regarding this scheme was amended by Law 296 of 27 December 2006 and subsequent decrees and regulations issued in the first part of 2007. Under these amendments, companies with at least 50 employees are obliged to transfer the TFR to the “Treasury fund” managed by the Italian state-owned social security body (“INPS”) or to supplementary pension funds. Prior to the amendments, accruing TFR for employees of all Italian companies could be managed by the company itself. Consequently, the Italian companies’ obligation to INPS and the contributions to supplementary pension funds take the form, under IAS 19 revised, of “Defined contribution plans” whereas the amounts recorded in the provision for employee severance pay retain the nature of “Defined benefit plans”. Accordingly, the provision for employee severance indemnity in Italy consists of the residual obligation for TFR until December 31, 2006. This is an unfunded defined benefit plan as the benefits have already been almost entirely earned, with the sole exception of future revaluations. Since 2007 the scheme has been classified as a defined contribution plan, and the Group recognizes the associated cost, being the required contributions to the pension funds, over the period in which the employee renders service.
    Pension plans
    Certain Group companies previously sponsored non-contributory defined benefit pension plans, for which the Group met the benefit payment obligations when they became due. Benefits provided under the plans varied based on the employee’s length of service and their salary in the final years leading up to retirement, among other variables. At December 31, 2021 the Group no longer sponsored any defined benefit pension plans.

    The discount rates used for the measurement of the Italian TFR obligation are based on yields of high-quality (AA- rated) fixed income securities for which the timing and amounts of payments match the timing and amounts of the projected benefit payments. For this plan, the single weighted average discount rate that reflects the estimated timing and amount of the scheme future benefit payments for 2021 is equal to 0.9 percent (0.4 percent in 2020 and 0.7 percent in 2019). The average duration of the Italian TFR is approximately 8 years. Retirement or employee leaving rates are developed to reflect actual and projected Group experience and legal requirements for retirement in Italy.

    The above sensitivity analysis is based on an assumed change in the discount rate while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognized in the statement of the financial position.
Other provisions for employees
    Other provisions for employees consist of the expected future amounts payable to employees in connection with other remuneration schemes, which are not subject to actuarial valuation, including long-term bonus plans.
    At December 31, 2021, other provisions for employees comprised short-term bonus benefits amounting to €79,273 thousand (€36,723 thousand at December 31, 2020) and jubilee benefits granted to certain employees by the Group in the event of achieving 30 years of service amounting to €3,497 thousand (€3,332 thousand at December 31, 2020).

Warranty and recall campaigns
    The provision for warranty and recall campaigns represents the best estimate of commitments given by the Group for contractual, legal, or constructive obligations arising from product warranties given for a specified period of time. Warranty and recall campaigns provisions are recognized upon shipment and estimated on the basis of the Group’s past experience and contractual terms. Related costs are recognized within cost of sales.    
    Following an industry-wide recall in 2016, the Group initiated a global recall campaign on cars mounted with Takata airbags manufactured using non-desiccated phase stabilized ammonium nitrate. Due to the uncertainty of recoverability of the costs from Takata, the Group recognized an aggregate provision of €36,994 thousand in 2016 within cost of sales. At December 31, 2021, the provision amounted to €3,011 thousand (€6,831 thousand at December 31, 2020). The gradual decrease in the provision reflects the performance of recall activities by the Group.
Legal proceedings and disputes
    The provision for legal proceedings and disputes represents management’s best estimate of the expenditures expected to be required to settle or otherwise resolve legal proceedings and disputes. This class of claims relates to allegations by contractual counterparties that the Group has violated the terms of the arrangements, including by terminating the applicable relationships. Judgments in these proceedings may be issued in 2022 or beyond, although any such judgments may remain subject to ongoing judicial review. While the outcome of these proceedings is uncertain, any losses in excess of the provisions recorded are not expected to be material to the Group’s financial condition or results of operations. Additions to the provision for legal proceedings and disputes are recognized within other expenses, net.
Releases during 2021 primarily relate to a legal dispute following developments favorable to Ferrari during the fourth quarter of the year.
Other risks
    The provision for other risks are related to disputes and matters which are not subject to legal proceedings, including disputes with suppliers, distributors, employees and other parties, as well as environmental risks.

A breach of these covenants may require the early repayment of the notes. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, Ferrari was in compliance with the covenants of the notes.

Asset-backed financing (Securitizations)
As a means of diversifying its sources of funds, the Group sells certain of its receivables originated by its financial services activities in the United States 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

Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
typically associated with the related receivables. As a result, the receivables sold through securitization programs are still consolidated until collection from the customer. During 2021, the following revolving securitization programs were in place:
revolving securitization program for funding of up to $750 million, which was renewed in December 2020 for a tenor of 24 months and increased up to $800 million in December 2021, 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 a synthetic base rate substantially replicating the LIBOR plus a margin of 75 basis points. At December 31, 2021 total proceeds net of repayments from the sales of financial receivables under the program amounted to $775 million ($629 million at December 31, 2020). The securitization agreement requires the maintenance of an interest rate cap.
revolving securitization program for funding of up to $285 million, which was renewed in November 2021 for a tenor of 24 months, 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. At December 31, 2021 total proceeds net of repayments from the sales of financial receivables under the program amounted to $245 million ($244 million at December 31, 2020). The securitization agreement requires the maintenance of an interest rate cap.
the revolving securitization program for funding of up to $110 million by pledging credit lines to Ferrari customers secured by personal vehicle collections and personal guarantees in the United States as collateral terminated in April 2021. The notes bore interest at a rate per annum equal to the aggregate of LIBOR plus a margin of 115 basis points.

    The consolidated total amount of the revolving securitization programs has been progressively increased since inception as the underlying receivables portfolios have increased.

    Cash collected from the settlement of receivables 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 €47,742 thousand at December 31, 2021 (€36,935 thousand at December 31, 2020).

Lease liabilities
The Group recognizes lease liabilities in relation to right-of-use assets in accordance with IFRS 16 — Leases. At December 31, 2021 lease liabilities amounted to €56,210 thousand (€62,290 thousand at December 31, 2020).
Borrowings from banks and other financial institutions
    Borrowings from banks at December 31, 2021 include (i) an amortized term loan of €63 million borrowed in June by Ferrari S.p.A. for a tenor of 36 months and bearing fixed interest at 0.118 percent and (ii) financial liabilities of FFS Inc to support financial services activities, and in particular €61,919 thousand (€28,553 thousand at December 31, 2020) relating to a U.S. Dollar committed credit facility for up to $100 million, (drawn down for $70 million at December 31, 2021) for a tenor of 24 months and bearing interest at LIBOR plus 75 basis points.
In April 2020, additional committed credit lines of €350 million were secured with tenors ranging from 18 to 24 months, doubling total committed credit lines available to €700 million. In March 2021 the Group cancelled a credit line of €100 million and simultaneously replaced it with a new credit line for €150 million with a tenor of 23 months. In April 2021, the Group replaced an uncommitted credit line of $50 million, which was terminated, with a new committed credit line for $100 million with a tenor of 24 months bearing interest at LIBOR plus 75 basis points. At December 31, 2021 the line had been drawn down for $70 million (€62 million), representing the only committed credit line that has been drawn down by the Group. The new credit line replaces the funding previously provided by one of securitization programs in the US for funding of up to $110 million that expired in April 2021 and was interest-bearing at LIBOR plus 115 basis points, as noted above. In October 2021 an undrawn committed credit line previously negotiated in April 2020 for €100 million expired. At December 31, 2021 the Group had total committed credit lines available and undrawn amounted to €676 million (€700 million at December 31, 2020).

In December 2019, the Company negotiated a €350 million unsecured committed revolving credit facility (the “RCF”), which is intended for general corporate and working capital purposes. The RCF has a 5 year-tenor with two further one-year extension options, exercisable on the first and second anniversary of the signing date on the Company’s request and

26. TRADE PAYABLES
    Trade payables of €797,832 thousand at December 31, 2021 (€713,807 thousand at December 31, 2020) are entirely due within one year. The carrying amount of trade payables is considered to be equivalent to their fair value.

27. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
    IFRS 13 — Fair Value Measurement 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 December 31, 2021 and 2020:

    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 widely accepted valuation techniques. 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 rates 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 current bank 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 presents the 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:

30. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL RISKS
The Group is exposed to the following financial risks connected with its operations:
financial market risk (principally relating to foreign currency exchange rates and to a lesser extent, interest rates and commodity prices), as the Group operates internationally in different currencies;
liquidity risk, with particular reference to the availability of funds and access to the credit markets, should the Group require them, and to financial instruments in general;
credit risk, arising from normal commercial relations with final clients and dealers, as well as the Group’s financing activities.
These risks could significantly affect the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and for this reason the Group identifies and monitors these risks, in order to detect potential negative effects in advance and take the necessary action to mitigate them, primarily through the Group’s operating and financing activities and if required, through the use of derivative financial instruments.
The following section provides qualitative and quantitative disclosures on the effect that these risks may have upon the Group. The quantitative data reported in the following section does not have any predictive value. In particular, the sensitivity analysis on financial market risks does not reflect the complexity of the market or the reaction which may result from any changes that are assumed to take place.
Financial market risks
    Due to the nature of the Group’s business, the Group is exposed to a variety of market risks, including foreign currency exchange rate risk and to a lesser extent, interest rate risk and commodity price risk.
    The Group’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk arises from the geographic distribution of the Group’s shipments, as the Group generally sells its models in the currencies of the various markets in which the Group operates, while the Group’s industrial activities are all based in Italy, and primarily denominated in Euro.
    The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from the need to fund certain activities and the necessity to deploy surplus funds. Changes in market interest rates may have the effect of either increasing or decreasing the Group’s net profit/(loss), thereby indirectly affecting the costs and returns of financing and investing transactions.
F-67



Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    The Group has in place various risk management policies, which primarily relate to foreign exchange and commodity price, interest rate and liquidity risks. The Group’s risk management policies permit derivatives to be used for managing such risk exposures at risk. Counterparties to these agreements are major financial institutions. Derivative financial instruments can only be executed for hedging purposes.
    In particular, the Group used derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges primarily for the purpose of limiting the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Accordingly, as a result of applying risk management policies with respect to foreign currency exchange exposure, the Group’s results of operations have not been fully exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. However, despite these risk management policies and hedging transactions, sudden adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates could have a significant effect on the Group’s earnings and cash flows.
The Group also enters into interest rate caps as required by certain of its securitization agreements.
Information on the fair value of derivative financial instruments held is provided in Note 19.
Information on foreign currency exchange rate risk
    The Group is exposed to risks resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which can affect its earnings and equity. In particular:
Where a Group company incurs costs in a currency different from that of its revenues, any change in foreign currency exchange rates can affect the operating results of that company. In 2021, the total trade flows exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk amounted to the equivalent of 58 percent of the Group’s net revenues (58 percent in 2020 and 53 percent in 2019).
The main foreign currency exchange rate to which the Group is exposed is the Euro/U.S. Dollar for sales in U.S. Dollar in the United States and other markets where the U.S. Dollar is the reference currency. In 2021, the value of commercial activities exposed to fluctuations in the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate accounted for approximately 51 percent (53 percent in 2020 and 53 percent in 2019) of the total currency risk from commercial activities. In 2021 and 2020, the commercial activities exposed to the Euro/Japanese Yen exchange rate and to the Euro/Pound Sterling exchange rate exceeded 10 percent (in 2019 the Euro/Japanese Yen and Euro/Pound Sterling exceeded 10 percent) of the total currency risk from commercial activities. Other significant exposures included the exchange rate between the Euro and the following currencies: Chinese Renminbi, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar and Australian Dollar. None of these exposures, taken individually, exceeded 10 percent of the Group’s total foreign currency exchange rate exposure for commercial activities in 2021, 2020 and 2019. It is the Group’s policy to use derivative financial instruments (primarily forward currency contracts and currency options) to hedge up to 90 percent of the principal exposures to foreign currency exchange risk, typically for a period of up to twelve months.
Several subsidiaries are located in countries that are outside the Eurozone, in particular the United States, the United Kingdom (branch), Switzerland, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia and Singapore. As the Group’s reporting currency is the Euro, the income statements of those companies are translated into Euro using the average exchange rate for the period and, even if revenues and margins are unchanged in local currency, changes in exchange rates can impact the amount of revenues, costs and profit as translated into Euro.
The amount of assets and liabilities of consolidated companies that report in a currency other than the Euro may vary from period to period as a result of changes in exchange rates. The effects of these changes are recognized directly in equity as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss) under gains/(losses) from currency translation differences.
    The Group monitors its principal exposure to translation exchange risk, although the Group did not engage in any specific hedging activities in relation to translation exchange risk for the periods presented.
    Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on reporting monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the period or in previous financial statements, are recognized in the consolidated income statement within the net financial income/(expenses) line item or as cost of sales for charges arising from financial services companies. The Group uses specific financial derivatives to hedge these exposures.
F-68



Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    The impact of foreign currency exchange rate differences recorded within financial income/(expenses) for the year ended December 31, 2021, including the costs of hedging foreign currency exchange rate risk, amounted to net losses of €11,407 thousand (net losses of €27,029 thousand and €24,237 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively).
    All of the Group’s financial services activities are conducted in the functional currencies of the related financial services companies, therefore the impact of foreign currency exchange rate differences arising from financial services activities was zero in all periods presented.
    Except as noted above, there have been no substantial changes in 2021 in the nature or structure of exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risks or in the Group’s hedging policies.
    The potential decrease in fair value of derivative financial instruments held by the Group at December 31, 2021 to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks, which would arise in the case of a hypothetical, immediate and adverse change of 10 percent in the exchange rates of the major foreign currencies with the Euro, would be approximately €98,165 thousand (€102,674 thousand at December 31, 2020). Receivables, payables and future trade flows for which hedges have been put in place were not included in the analysis. It is reasonable to assume that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will produce the opposite effect, of an equal or greater amount, on the underlying transactions that have been hedged. The sensitivity analysis is based on currency hedging in place at the end of the period, which can vary during the period and assumes unchanged market conditions other than exchange rates, such as volatility and interest rates. For this reason, it is purely indicative.
Information on interest rate risk
    The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, though less significant, arises from the need to fund financial services activities and the necessity to deploy surplus funds. Changes in market interest rates may have the effect of either increasing or decreasing the Group’s net profit/(loss), thereby indirectly affecting the costs and returns of financing and investing transactions.
    The Group’s most significant floating rate financial assets at December 31, 2021 were cash and cash equivalents and certain receivables from financing activities (related to client and dealer financing), while 37 percent of the Group’s gross debt bears floating rates of interest. At December 31, 2021, a decrease of 10 basis points in interest rates on floating rate financial assets and debt, with all other variables held constant, would have resulted in a decrease in profit before taxes of €486 thousand on an annual basis (a decrease of €652 thousand at December 31, 2020). The analysis is based on the assumption that floating rate financial assets and debt which expire during the projected 12-month period will be renewed or reinvested in similar instruments, bearing the hypothetical short-term interest rates.
Information on commodity price risk
The Group’s exposure to commodity price risk, though much less significant than foreign exchange rate risk and interest rate risk, arises from the need to use a variety of raw materials in the Group’s operations, including aluminum and precious metals such as palladium and rhodium. The Group monitors its exposure to commodity price risk and may hedge a portion of such exposure through derivative financial instruments (primarily commodity swaps).
Liquidity risk
    Liquidity risk arises if the Group is unable to obtain the funds needed to carry out its operations and meet its obligations. The main determinant of the Group’s liquidity position is the cash generated by or used in operating and investing activities.
    From an operating point of view, the Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring cash flows and keeping an adequate level of funds readily available. The main funding operations and investments in cash and marketable securities of the Group are centrally managed or supervised by the treasury department with the aim of ensuring effective and efficient management of the Group’s liquidity. The Group has established various policies which are managed or supervised centrally by the treasury department with the purpose of optimizing the management of funds and reducing liquidity risk which include:
F-69



Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
centralizing liquidity management through the use of cash pooling arrangements
maintaining a conservative level of available liquidity
diversifying sources of funding
obtaining adequate credit lines
monitoring future liquidity requirements on the basis of business planning
    Intercompany financing between Group entities is not restricted other than through the application of covenants requiring that transactions with related parties be conducted at arm’s length terms.
    Details on the maturity profile of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities and on the structure of derivative financial instruments are provided in Notes 19 and 24. Details of the repayment of derivative financial instruments are provided in Note 19.
To preventively and prudently manage potential liquidity or refinancing risks in the foreseeable future, the Group has available undrawn committed credit lines of €676 million which amounted to €700 million at December 31, 2020.
    The Group believes that its total available liquidity (defined as cash and cash equivalents plus undrawn committed credit lines), in addition to funds that will be generated from operating activities, will enable Ferrari to satisfy the requirements of its investing activities and working capital needs fulfill its obligations to repay its debt and ensure an appropriate level of operating and strategic flexibility. The Group therefore believes there is no significant risk of a lack of liquidity.
Credit risk
    Credit risk is the risk of economic loss arising from the failure to fully collect receivables. Credit risk encompasses the direct risk of default and the risk of a deterioration of the creditworthiness of the counterparty.
    The maximum credit risk to which the Group is theoretically exposed at December 31, 2021 is represented by the carrying amounts of the financial assets presented in the consolidated statement of financial position sheet and the nominal value of the guarantees provided.
    Dealers and clients are subject to a specific evaluation of their creditworthiness. Additionally, it is Group practice to obtain financial guarantees against risks associated with credit granted for the purchase of cars and parts. These guarantees are further strengthened, where possible, by retaining title on cars subject to financing agreements.
    Credit positions of material significance are evaluated on an individual basis. Where objective evidence exists that they are uncollectible, in whole or in part, specific write-downs are recognized. The amount of the write-down is based on an estimate of the recoverable cash flows, the timing of those cash flows, the cost of recovery and the fair value of any guarantees received.
    Receivables from financing activities amounting to €1,143,968 thousand at December 31, 2021 (€939,607 thousand at December 31, 2020) are shown net of the allowance for doubtful accounts amounting to €11,204 thousand (€13,195 thousand at December 31, 2020). After considering the allowance for doubtful accounts, €52,733 thousand of receivables were overdue (€65,554 thousand at December 31, 2020). Therefore, overdue receivables represent a minor portion of receivables from financing activities.
    Receivables from financing activities relate entirely to the financial services portfolio in the United States and such receivables are generally secured on the titles of cars or other guarantees.
    Trade receivables amounting to €185,000 thousand at December 31, 2021 (€184,260 thousand at December 31, 2020) are shown net of the allowance for doubtful accounts amounting to €25,984 thousand (€28,312 thousand at December 31, 2020). After considering the allowance for doubtful accounts, €47,237 thousand of receivables were overdue (€46,627 thousand at December 31, 2020).
