Today's call will be hosted by the Group CEO, Mr. Benedetto Vigna, and Group CFO, Mr. Antonio Piccapicon. All relevant materials are available in the investor section of the Ferrari corporate website, and at the end of the presentation, we will be available to answer your questions. Before we begin, let me remind you that any forward-looking statements we might make during today's call are subject to the risks and uncertainties mentioned in the safe harbor statement included on page two of today's presentation, and the call will be governed by this language. With that said, I'd like to turn the call over to Benedetto.
speaker
Roberto
Thank you, Nicoletta. Thank you, everyone, for joining us today. I would like to start by thanking told the women and men at Ferrari for their passion, dedication, and sense of belonging. Without them, without their agility and nimbleness, the exceptional result of the past quarter would not have been possible. Grazie. Definitely, Q2 was a quarter dense of many positive milestones on all fronts. Four. Four are the key messages of this call that Antoni and I intend to pass to you. One. record high exceptional results driven by product mix and personalizations. Stronger than expected personalization lead us to increase the full year guidance on all fronts. Two, our order book remain stunningly high across all geographies and the full product range thanks to robust order intake. Three, the geographical pattern of our shipment in the last quarter, as in all the other quarters, reflects our deliberate allocation plans along the controlled growth trajectory and are not at all correlated with the respective market track. In the first semesters, our shipments grew by 4% year over year, with all regions up. A remarkable 14% up of mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, a 7% up of the Americas. Fourth, we are on track with our product strategy and carbon neutrality journey. So now let's start from our exceptional second quarter earnings. And I'm very pleased to highlight the following three key data, revenues, at nearly 1.5 billion euro, up 14% versus the prior years. Even more remarkable in light of shipments substantially flat year over year. Adjusted EBITDA is about 590 million euro with a 40% margin. Industrial free cash flow generation at approximately 140 million euro. Interesting to note that it took us only six months to surpass the €1 billion EBITDA threshold, while it took the entire 2017 to pass that same level. A result that everyone at Ferrari contributed to reach. Beyond these strong financial results, in the quarter there were other important milestones which deserve to take the spotlight. Racing world first. Sunday afternoon, June 11, 2023, was an unforgettable day for Ferrari. 58 years after our last participation, we returned to victory in the top class of the WEC with the podium at Le Mans on the centenary of the world's most famous endurance race. A few days later, we were paraded through the streets of the city here in Maranello and in our factory, we celebrated the victory with the 499P team, all Ferrari colleagues, our partners, and our enlarged community. Why is it so important for all of us to celebrate this victory? Because once again, it testifies to the effort and the willingness to always push the boundaries of technology and innovation. Racing is our heritage, and more than ever, It is a stimulus to further innovate. It's the will to progress that we always need to keep alive. It's the inheritance of our founders that we need to nurture constantly with confident humility. With the same spirit, we started a few months ago the F1 Championship, but with a competitiveness level below our expectation. In some recent races, such as the last one of last weekend in Spa-Francorchamps, we saw some sign of improvement. Clearly, we want to keep improving and we are working day and night to make our cars more competitive. Now, let's talk about sports cars and in particular about our newly born Special Limited Series SF90 XX Stradale and Spyder. Derived from SF90, They have more than 1,000 horsepower, are amazingly beautiful, embed the recently patented extra boost vehicle dynamic feature directly derived from Formula One, and they use radical new aerodynamic solution, including a fixed rear spoiler. The last time we saw it on a Ferrari was in the mid-90s with the F50 supercars. Apart from these unique technical features, I also like to underline the strong client traction, and in fact, both of them were already sold out to our most loyal clients prior the official unveil. The extremely positive reaction to these two launches is the most recent signal to the strong desirability of our brand. Further indicators to that are, firstly, the enthusiastic reception to our exceptional product offering led by the Roma spiders, and Puro Sangue, which commenced delivery in June as planned. Secondly, the very robust order book in all geographies, further consolidating the visibility that we continue to enjoy well into 2025. Thirdly, the overall persisting dynamism of the Ferrari pre-owned market, which translates into sound residual values. And last but not least, the impressive attendance level to the world of Ferrari experiences, where, as we said during last Capital Market Day, we want to focus our attention more and more in the future. Indeed, in the quarter, we organized the three highly engaging activities with our community to further strengthen the bonds. The tribute to Le Mans in France, Universo Ferrari in South Korea, and the cavalcade in Italy. The Tribute to Le Mans took place with 40 crews together with Casa Ferrari, a dedicated and exclusive hospitality which saw over 500 clients, dealers, and partners enjoy the race over the long weekend. It was also the stage for the launch of the Hyper Club. What is it? It's a three-year program limited to 100 memberships already sold out that gives privileged access to the 24 hours of Le Mans, its on-track facilities, and the 499P race team. This is the first time we launched such a club, and this successful reception is a confirmation of the goodness of our strategy to enrich the experience we are offering to our clients. And now, Universo Ferrari. Universo Ferrari is an immersive exhibition showcasing the world of Ferrari. In June, beginning of June, we brought Maranello to Seoul. It was the first time it opened its doors in Korea, hosting more than 3,000 people, spanning from clients to fans. I attended it, and I could experience personally the desirability of our brand in a country where we increased our deliveries three times in the last five years and where the average age of our client is well below 40 years. For the cavalcade, instead, approximately 120 Ferraris come from all over the world to Rome. The event ended with a charity auction for initiatives to educate young people, one of the pillars of Ferrari's ESG activities. All the proceeds from the auction will go to Save the Children to support educational projects in a local school. It's very important for us to thank the local communities that host our events. We also continue tirelessly to improve the efficiency of all our processes. In Q2, we wanted to play our part in inspiring a wider change with three additional steps aiming to reach carbon neutrality by 2030 as we committed during last capital market day. The first one Since May, we have the first engine built from 100% recycled aluminum in our foundry, a prototype that we are currently testing. The second, we are on track with the construction of the building. We are completing the walls, and we are ready to start to install the equipment in September to be up and running in June 24th. as committed during the Capital Market Day of June 2022. In two years, the entire building will run on renewable energy. Last but not least, we hosted over 60 sponsors and partners at our first sustainability workshop, a chance to discuss carbon reduction projects acting as a catalyst for change. And now, switching gears to the lifestyle, I like to underline that we continued to execute against our strategy with a nimble approach and we saw encouraging a sign to award our vision. Le Mans was the perfect stage for a Ferrari shop in the fun zone with an enthusiastic response from client In Le Mans, we also recorded an increase in average tickets at our corner boutique in Casa Ferrari as we saw in Rome with our cavalcade clients. Lastly, our museum performed extremely well with a plus 34% year-over-year traffic presence increase in the first six months. And now I will leave the stage to Antonio to enter into the earning details.
speaker
Nicoletta
Thank you, Benedetto, and good morning or afternoon to everyone joining us today. Starting on page four, we present the highlights of the second quarter results, which show a robust progress of the year. In fact, as we guided last time we spoke, the second quarter of 2023 was very strong, sustained by a continuing remarkable business performance with a rich product mix and highly personalized products. There were also positive timing effects and other occurrences which contain our net operating expenses in the quarter and brought to the exceptionally high percentage margins that we report. Therefore, with shipments basically flat versus the prior year, revenues were up more than 14% and adjusted EBDA increased roughly 32%. adjusted EBITDA and EBIT margins reached 40% and 29.7% respectively, leading to an adjusted net profit margin of 22.7%. On this basis, we have decided to upgrade our guidance for the year on all metrics, as we'll discuss in a few minutes. On page five, you can see the details of the Q2 2023 shipments. As mentioned by Benedetto, in the quarter, we continue to serve a very high order book with deliveries which rebalance the first semester and in line with our volume, geographic, and product mix strategy for the year. Thus, we draw EMEA up double digit versus the prior year, while deliveries in Americas, mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, and the rest of APAC ended up being lower compared to Q2 2022. Shipments in the quarter were mainly driven by the 296 GTB, the Roma, and the Portofino M, while the 296 GTS and the A12 Competizione were in ramp-up phase. The allocations of the Daitrona SP3 continued as planned, and we commenced the first deliveries of the Puro Sangue. As we continue to execute on our electrification journey, the hybrid weight on total deliveries has further improved, reaching 43% more than doubled compared to last year. On page six, you can see the walk of our group net revenues, growing 12.8% at cost and currency. The growth in cars and spare parts was driven by a richer product mix sustained by the Daytona SP3 and the A12 Competizione family, as well as a continuing very strong contribution from personalizations and pricing. Personalizations mainly sustained by carbon look and liveries offering, were widely spread among the portfolio and stood at 18% in proportion to revenues from cars and spare parts. Sponsorship, commercial, and brand reflected the better prior year Formula One ranking, new sponsorships, and the contribution from lifestyle activities mainly led by entertainment and retail. Engines revenues declined in line with the reduction of supplies to Maserati as the agreement gets closer to its maturity. Currency has a positive impact, mainly following the US dollar dynamics. Moving to page 7, the change in adjusted EBIT is explained by the following variances. Volume flat and reflecting the quarterly allocations plan. Mix and price strongly positive for 94 million euro, driven by the richer product mix sustained by the Daytona SPT and the A12 Competizione and the SF90 families, the increased contribution from personalization and pricing. Industrial and R&D expenses grew 36 million euro, mainly due to higher depreciation and amortization. And once again, I want to flag it, continuing cost inflation, partially offset by quarterly specific lower Formula One expenses, neither of technology related government incentives. As G&A were negative for 15 million euro, mainly reflecting the company's digital infrastructure and organizational development, as well as marketing activities. Other was positive for 54 million euro, mainly reflecting the combined effect of higher commercial revenues from better prior year Formula One ranking, and the lower cost due to the revised Formula One in-season ranking assumptions. New sponsorships, higher contribution from lifestyle activities, and a positive adjustment to car environmental provisions due to market conditions. The total net impact of currency was positive for €20 million. Based on the just listed items, we reached an exceptional EBITDA margin of 40%. Excluding the mentioned timing and other positive effects, the EBITDA margin in the quarter would have been anyhow the highest of the year and slightly above our full year guidance. Turning to page 8, our industrial pre-cash flow generation for the quarter was solid at €138 million, reflecting the increased profitability, partially offset by a negative change in working capital, provisions and other, mainly linked to the increased inventory value, both in relation to the yearly production planning and to the richer product mix. As flagged in the previous quarter, our inventories will remain high throughout the year, to preserve our agility to manage the steel complex dynamics of our supply chain. Capital expenditure for 198 million euro in line with our product and infrastructure development and consistent with a full year target of approximately 850 million euro. Net industrial debt at the end of June was 331 million euro higher compared to March 23. reflecting our capital allocation strategy. We paid €328 million in dividend, in line with our increased dividend policy, and €83 million of share purchases in the quarter, €359 million since the 2022 Capital Market Day. To conclude, on page 9, we upgrade the 2023 guidance as thereby described. This is essentially driven by the trend of personalizations that we are confident will continue stronger than originally anticipated and higher raising revenues from sponsorships and commercial, albeit to a lesser extent. We consider all of this net of the inflationary pressure that I mentioned also for the quarter and which leads us to confirm our percentage margins for the full year. The very robust results we presented today, together with the continuous strong momentum we are enjoying, truly give us further confidence in the execution of our business plan. With that said, I turn the call over to Nicoletta. Thank you.
speaker
Operator
Thank you, Antonio. Roberto, we are now ready to start the Q&A session.
speaker
Antonio
Ladies and gentlemen, as a reminder, if you wish to ask a question, please press star 11 on your telephone. We are now taking the first question. Please stand by. The first question from Susi Tibaldi from UBS. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
speaker
Susi Tibaldi
Hi, good afternoon. Thanks for taking my questions. My first one would be on the impact of inflation that you have mentioned a few times. Would you be able to give us a quantitative indication of how much this is weighing on your OPEX profitability? And also, are you planning to make any price adjustments to offset this? Secondly, in the first few months of the year, have you observed so far any change in the way your consumers and prospective consumers behave? It sounds like there hasn't been really any change in the demand patterns that you're seeing. So I just wanted to confirm that and whether you expect for the rest of the year any change at all. And then lastly, on your eBuilding, which will open in mid-2024, given that the expectation of the first EV unveil is in 2025, how should we think about the ramp-up of this new eBuilding? Thank you.
speaker
Roberto
Thank you, Susi. So let's start from the third one. The eBuilding will be, let me say, up and running with all equipment mid next year in june exactly two years after we had the capital market day here and this will be any building that will develop strategic component for the electric cars but also will guarantee us the flexibility to assemble cars that are not only electric in fact we will start also to assemble over their car that are not electric when it comes to another important dimension of e-building, let's consider that this will be a building that will use more state-of-the-art equipment, up, let's say, with all the renewable energy, and we'll have the flexibility that we need in a company such as Ferrari that is always pushing for uniqueness and desirability. Another important point for the part of your question is that we are on track because we will unveil our electric Ferrari in Q4 end of 2025, and some components, as we said to you last year, will be assembled over there. So the team, I think, did a great job because we are completely on track, and the last year, for some component, like the concrete or whatever, it was not easy. So here, if you pass by our company, you can see the mushroom getting taller and taller any any day the second point was about the customer the client behaviors well i can tell you that we do not have any change we don't see any change on the consumer behaviors if i go to see the order component that as i told you very very high and it goes well into 2025 Well, I see that the split among the different regions of the order book is very good. They are all growing. So we don't see any change. The only thing I can add is that there are some regions, like what I mentioned before in Korea, for example, that are growing at a good pace. But all the clients in all the regions are Let me say, do not show any change in their pattern to order our cash. For the inflation and the price.
speaker
Nicoletta
Yeah, thanks for the question. I think what we are assuming here is to be in line with the general economy. So between 4% and 5% is an overall impact over the year. And with respect to price increase, obviously we are mindful and willing to protect our margins. And that's what we keep on doing. Obviously, at the same time, we have a strong order book, so we need to manage it very carefully and basically preserve it while maintaining a clear and fair relationship with our clients.
speaker
Susi Tibaldi
Thanks. And just a quick follow-up on the eBuilding, as you're planning also to assemble some of non-electric cars. Shall we still think about these 15,000 units during the current plan as a cap, or does the new building give you more flexibility?
speaker
Roberto
I understand there is a lot of curiosity in these numbers. What I can tell you is that we will always sell one car less than the market demands. And today, what the building will do for us is two things. Number one to guarantee us more flexibility. So we can accommodate more. Let me say freedom in the personalization we offer to our clients. So this is the flexibility. The second. is about having a process that is more sustainable, a manufacturing process that is more sustainable because we are using state-of-the-art equipment that help us to go in the direction of the carbon neutrality by 2030. So flexibility is key for us and use of, let me say, state-of-the-art equipment.
speaker
spk14
Perfect. Thank you. Thank you.
speaker
Antonio
Thank you for your question. We are now taking the next question. Please stand by. The next question from Giulio Pescatore from BNB. Let's go ahead. Your line is open.
speaker
spk04
Hi, thanks for taking my question. The first one for Antonio on the guidance. Why should we expect a decline in margin sequentially in H2 of about 350 bits compared to the first half, especially if we consider the model momentum that you have in the second half with, I guess, higher shipments of the Puro Sangue, higher shipments of the Competizione Aperta, higher shipments of the GTS. So, I mean, your model momentum seems to be improving in the second half and you're guiding for us. very steep declining margin. And the second one on the Puro Sangue deliveries, it feels like deliveries in the second quarter weren't very elevated. Can you maybe confirm or give us an indication of where you stand in terms of the ramp up? And if you could also give us an indication of what percentage of the full year shipments roughly will be made up of the Puro Sangue this year. Sorry, the last question on the margins. In Q2, you were not far from 30%. on the ebit level i mean that's the upper end of your 2026 targets and while i know that it's just one quarter and we shouldn't extrapolate that's what you're going to tell me but i was wondering if you're planning to maybe invite us back tomorrow potentially for the unveil of the of the new plant next year for an update on the business plan thank you so the last one you are invited to come to see the the plant but we will not have the capital market day june next year
speaker
Roberto
I'll comment about the percentage. We started to deliver Puro Sangue in Q2 as planned. So we will have a ramp up basically in the second half of the year. I can tell you that the volume of the Puro Sangue this year will be below 10% in terms of the annual production volume.
speaker
Nicoletta
And with respect to your first question, Giulio, thanks for that. I'll try and explain through the review of the slides how we see the rest of the year and how Q2 basically performed. I think Q2 was designed to be the stronger quarter of the year. I think we mentioned a couple of times in previous calls. And this happened actually, and the margin for that quarter was already higher than the guidance for the full year. But it was enhanced by a couple of elements. One, some timing effects, meaning positives that were already in our numbers, expected for Q3, and that happened to come earlier. Some other, there were adjustments, unexpected adjustments to our assumption that will not be repeated. And the third element is, of course, the strong flow of personalization. That was also a surprise. At the same time, if I take out the timing impact and the, let me call it, non-repeatable element, and I look at the second part of the year, I think then take into consideration also the inflation that is continuing stronger than we would have expected, honestly, in our original numbers. It's difficult for us to guide you to a level of margins that is strongly above the levels that we guided at the very beginning of the year. That's why we confirmed 38%. Because obviously the cost base is higher because of the inflation, and that's basically taking a part of the positive impact from the additional revenues from personalization responses.
speaker
spk04
OK, thank you. And just following up on that, is it fair to say that the reversal of the bonuses from Formula 1, which normally happens in Q3 and this time happened in Q2, is it fair to say that it should be around $10, $15, maybe $20 million? Can you give us maybe an order of magnitude on this element?
speaker
Nicoletta
Yes. Obviously, hopefully it should not happen, not in the second, nor in the third quarter already. But anyway, it happened. We recognized in the second quarter the fact that we cannot win this year. Mathematically, it's impossible. So we basically adjusted our estimate to the assumption to get second, and the impact is approximately 10 million in the quarter. Perfect. Thank you very much, and good luck. Thank you.
speaker
Antonio
Thank you for your question. We are now taking the next question. And the next question from Monica Bosio from Indesa San Paolo. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
speaker
Monica Bosio
Thank you and good afternoon. I have two questions. The first one is on Puro Sangue. You opened the order book for 2026. I was wondering if you can give us some flavor on how it's going and how long does the order book for Purozangue extend now? The second question, I have three actually. The second is on China. I perfectly understand that the distribution of the shipments for the quarter do not reflect the trend of the demand. But I remember that in the first quarter, you told us that by year end, shipments in China will not be in excess of 10%. Is it right? Can you confirm also in this occasion? And the third one is on the new spatial series. I was wondering if you can give us a flavor on the breakdown of the customers by regions if there is a specific concentration in one region or in another. And if you think that the new spatial series will carry a higher weight of personalization or not, specifically as for the carbon component. Thank you very much.
speaker
Roberto
Thank you, Monica. So let's start from the first one, the story of the Puro Sangue. As we told you last time in May, We reopened the orders for 2026, and I can tell you that it's going very well. We are collecting, let's say, orders for the final tail, okay? So here, the car continues to have a very, very strong traction. The second one was about China shipment. You remember very well. We said that we deliberately fixed, let's say, the sales, the shares of our our shipment, let me say, to 10%, 10%, 11%. And I think this is, I mean, we are on track with this plan. And then about the customer, if I understand well, I will repeat. What is, if you see any change in the customer base pattern, that's what I understood. The customer penetration. Yes. Let's say the The spatial series, let me say that we are SF90XX, both Stradale and Spiders. We are reflecting, if you want, the same pattern of the top and VIP clients. So there are some regions, clearly, that do not have yet too many clients that do not have a big allocation. Because remember that the spatial series... is reserved to the top part of our client pyramid, let's say. So the traction of this car has been very strong. The people, I mean, I attended a couple of sessions of the presentation of our colleague from engineers, the marketers, and I can tell you that when the car was unveiled, even without stepping in the car, several people, I was with European, I was with asian i was with american and japanese they all loved let me say the the cars so when it comes to the story of personalization uh it's it's what uh antonio what i said during this uh our introduction we see this trend that is better than expected the people are let's say more and more happy to add the personalization to the cash the carbon look
speaker
Antonio
it's something that we are discovering and interest as an interesting trend definitely okay thank you benedetto thank you gracias monica thank you for your question we are now taking the next question and the next question from henning cosman from barclays please go ahead your line is open
speaker
spk03
Hi, thank you very much for taking the question. The first one's on the order book. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something or reading too much or too little into the attributes you're using for your order book and order intake. So when you say solid, order book or robust order intake, is that in any way less than you have previously indicated? I thought we had previously talked about records as an attribute or even sold out when discussing individual models. So I just want to make sure we're not missing anything there, if there's anything further you want us to read into the attributes, if you could please let us know. And perhaps another way about asking about the margin trajectory in H2 as a second question. When we talk about personalizations, I appreciate it was a positive surprise in H1, both Q1 and Q2. And Antonio, you said it's it's reflected in the full year guidance increase already. I understand that, but could you please perhaps help us understand if, we are now expecting a continuously higher personalization rate. So are we basically now at the new run rate and we're extrapolating that? Or are your expectations for the second half that it's as low as you had originally expected and you think H1 was more of a one-off and we're now dropping back to your original expectations, both perhaps for the full year 23 and beyond, if you could. Thank you very much.
speaker
Roberto
Thank you, Henning. I think the first one, and Antonio will take a second on the personalization trend and the margin. I like your question when you say solid or robust. Well, for us, solid or robust means that the order book of this quarter is higher than the previous quarter. It's a good point. We'll make sure that in the next call we'll have only one name, one adjective. But this means, for us, means that today is bigger than it was. So trust us, next year, next quarter, we'll use only one word.
speaker
Nicoletta
The personalization and marginage... Maybe before coming to that, I think you asked us about the order intake. Be mindful that this depends also on the number of models that are available for order. So they may change from month to month. So there are periods in time when we are open for taking order. for a larger number of models and some other peers, such as today, for example, where we just have two.
speaker
Roberto
So today we have two hybrid and two thermal. We have four, 26 GTS and GDB.
speaker
Nicoletta
With respect to your question, which is a very important one, personalization, I think I mentioned already a number of On personalization, we give the flexibility to our clients to define what they want to have on their car between four and three months before delivery, which gives us visibility which is partial during the course of the year. Based on what we know today, I think we are confident that for the rest of 2023, we will remain in line with the flow that we have seen during the first half. But obviously, it becomes difficult to project any further. And this is one of the reasons why we said this is at the root of the improvement of the guidance that we have just delivered today. Hope this helps.
speaker
spk03
Yeah, that's great. Thank you very much and looking forward to tomorrow as well. Thank you. Thank you.
speaker
Antonio
Thank you for your question. We are now taking the next question. And the next question from Steve from Societe Generale. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
speaker
Steve
Thank you. Good afternoon. Question, first of all, on the Pura Sangre. As I said, you reopened the order book for 2026 build slots, having closed it earlier this year when you said that the demand was four to five times higher than you'd been anticipating when you first launched the vehicle. I think the question was asked before, but I didn't quite maybe get the answer of how long is it likely the order window is going to be open on the 2026 build slots, or are you already looking at 2027 build slots as well? You also mentioned on the personalization that it was spread across the models. It would seem to me that one of the reasons why the personalization was also going up was because in order to secure even a build slot for a Pura Sangue, it probably makes sense for your customers to order as heavily personalized as possible in order to increase the attractiveness and to make them a more desirable customer than a vehicle that is maybe less heavily specced. Thank you.
speaker
Roberto
Hi Stephen, so you're right at the beginning we had to stop the order, taking order of Puro Sangue because the speed of order intake was four or five times higher than we planned. Then we settled, we organized it also with all the supply chain. So we are planning to take order of Puro Sangue for all 2026. Okay, this is the answer to your first question. Clearly, when you have a car with four seats, Instead of two, you have more option on the personalization to offer to the client. But I can tell you that if I go to see the trend of the personalization across all, let me see the model, all the cars, I mean, there is a trend that is touching all our model. And this is true across all geographies. I think that the people considering that, we said clearly, we do not want to increase a lot the volume. They are more tailoring the cars like their personal dress. So they are putting a lot of features. Carbon look is one of these deliveries. The Scudetto, I think there are a lot of features that in the past the client were not looking at so much. This is what we see. This is what we see. It can be also reflected in, really, we see it in Europe, we see it in Asia, we see it in the U.S. So that's where we are, Stephen.
speaker
Steve
Are there limitations that you have internally in terms of having enough craftsmen to fulfill all the desires of the customers? And how important will your new paint shop be when you open that?
speaker
Roberto
No, we don't have these limitations. I can tell you that for sure when you talk about the carbon look, the process to make carbon look component is very much let's say hand crafted, but we have a solid supply chain over there with different suppliers with whom we have a really strategic relation. So we feel that we are confident that we can address the personalization in the right way. The stress test we did ourselves last year overall on the volume increase, it has been very helpful, and a posteriori it has been a wise decision.
speaker
spk14
Thank you very much.
speaker
Antonio
Thank you, Stephen. Thank you for your question. We are now taking the next question. Please stand by. And the next question from Anthony Dick from OdoBHF. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
speaker
Stephen
Yes. Hi. Thank you for taking my question. My first question was on the EBIT bridge. You have the others bucket at 54 million impact in Q2. So you mentioned some of the drivers, and thank you for giving us the F1 provision amounts. But can you possibly provide some further granularity into the other components of that item And also, you know, is that 54 million just a non-repeatable impact, as you mentioned, or is there some that carry through to H2? And also, in terms of the F1 provision in particular, I think I heard that you are now basing your assumptions on a second place in the constructors' ranking. You're currently fourth place today. So, I mean, hypothetically, if you were to maintain that fourth place position, should we expect the similar magnitude of provision reversal at a later point in the year. And then I had a quick second question on the FX impact, which turned negative in the quarter. So I was just wondering if you could provide some further information on how you expect that to evolve, considering your hedging policy. And then a very small third one also, I was wondering if you could provide the amounts of Daytona SP3s that you delivered in Q2. Thank you.

All the questions are for me. Okay, let's start from the last one. I think in terms of Daytona, we are around 30 units in the quarter. The effects, don't be mistaken, it's actually positive, the overall impact, which is the sum of the impact of the edges of last year and the negatives in terms of the exchange rate. So it's the second and the second before last column in the EBIT chart. In terms of the reconciliation between what we have in other and what we have in terms of the revenues from, let me say, items that are different from cars, parts and engines. I think it's important that I explain in other we have all the positives that come from the racing revenues. We have obviously the portion which is related to ranking, our positioning in the F1 championship. And then we have the non-repeatable items. In this quarter of non-repeatable, I think we have the downward adjustment of the provisions for the carbon emissions, which is about 10 million in the quarter. So this basically allows you a full reconciliation between what you would expect from our revenues and what you have in the EBIT, in other EBIT column. And then you asked about the impact from possibly becoming hopefully unlikely fourth rather than second. And the impact is lower compared to what we have from the first to the second.

okay perfect thank you very much welcome thank you for your question we are now taking the next question and the next question from philip futures from jeffries please go ahead your name is open yes thank you and good afternoon and thank you thank you very much for explanation about
speaker

When you say every quarter, you're surprised by personalization. I understand that people adjust what they want on their cars in the first few months before the delivery. So that was very helpful. Most of my questions were asked. And I was wondering, though, about racing. You did very well in the Le Mans 24-hour races this year. And I'm just wondering, do you think there's scope for another big racing event or whether, you know, endurance races could be repeated like four times a year instead of an annual event. Something that would create a business similar or kind of same spirit as what we've seen in F1 because there's been an amazing revival of F1 and there's no reason why there's no scope for other races and whether maybe you even take the lead and try to organize bigger events and that would be a bigger part of your business model. Thank you.
speaker
Roberto
I think this question, so when it comes to racing today, Let's say we have, I would say, three areas of focus. One is F1. The second is what is the endurance and where Le Mans belongs to. And the third one is more on the customer relationship management, like the Corse Cliente, the Challenge, the Finale Mondiale. Well, these are the areas where we are focused today and where we intend to be focused also for the future. So today we want to be, when we say that one of the values of our company is heritage and innovation, when you know that Ferrari has been starting a lot with the endurance championships in the beginning. So we are present over there and we are present in Formula One. And we want to offer this kind of unique experience on the track also to our client. That's where we are.

Thank you, Philippe.
speaker
Antonio
Thank you for your question. We're now taking the next question. And the next question from Tommy Narain from RBCCM. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
speaker
Tommy Narain
Hi. Thanks for taking the question. A quick clarification on the e-building. So that'll be ready in 2024. But I guess the first full electric Ferrari won't be introduced until the end of 2025. Just curious maybe why that gap. I understand it'll also be used for ICE cars as well, but just curious if I could just understand that better. And then on Pura Sangue, would be helpful to just understand some of the customer demographics, the take rate there. Is there a percentage of buyers perhaps that are new to Ferrari? Presumably this is a very different customer subset. Just curious now that you've seen some of the deliveries, you know, who really is taking these. And then lastly, you know, the SF90 Stradale uses a custom YASA motor, I believe. You know, we learned recently from a luxury car maker recently announcing it would be using powertrain electric components from a PurePlay EV maker. Just curious as to, you know, what went into your selection of YASA and if you consider other providers here and does this necessarily indicate how you think about your future EV aspirations?
speaker
Roberto
Thanks. Thank you, Tom. So I start from the first one, the story of eBuilding. And I understand that you want some clarification. So let's remember, June 22, we said we are going to be ready for the building in June 24. And that will happen. In June 24, we'll start. to produce something in this line that is different from electric cars then end of 25 we will have in the building we will have we'll announce the electric cars and clearly the day after the year after we will have the electric car getting out of that building so this is the the schedule and that's reason why i insisted a lot on any building that is on one side flexible because it allows to build a different kind of cars. On the other side, by using renewable energy, fully renewable energy, it allows to develop strategic components for our electric cars. The second about Puro Sangue, the demographics. Well, the demographics of Puro Sangue is not so much different from the overall demographics. What I can tell you is that very often we will see behind the name of the Ferrarista, We will have a name of a Ferrarista, a man, but most of the time the user will be the partners, the women, because I told those in the previous call, when we attended the event of launch of Puro Sangue in September, very often the people were asking if they could get two, because for sure one and only one would have been used by the partners. The third one is about SF90XX. Well, when you talk about an electric car, for sure, you know, there are three important blocks. One is the battery. One is the engine. And then there is another block that is very important, is the power electronics in the middle. It's not one alone that is making the difference. It's the interplay of these three elements, the way they work together, that make a difference. in the future as we said in capital market day we will have also our own electric engine f1 derived that will be used together with a new kind of electronics okay got it thanks thank you thank you for your question we are now taking the next question
speaker
Antonio
And the next question from George from GS. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
speaker
spk02
Great, thank you, and thank you for taking my questions. I had two questions, really. The first one was just on special series. Given the very strong demand you always see for special series, would you consider having more than one special series in production at the same time? At the moment, it feels like you introduce them sequentially. But presumably they would be equally special if you had a special series variant of the SF90 and the 296 in production at the same time, given they are two different models. So that was the first question. The second one was whether you could just clarify where you are in terms of Daytona shipments out of the total units that you plan to deliver. Are you roughly 30% through, 50% through? or any color there would be much appreciated. Thank you.
speaker
Roberto
Okay, so for the special series, we limit all of the superposition between special series. There is some special series superposition sometimes between the tail of production of the previous one and the ramp up of the following one. Think about 812 Competizione and SF90XX Stradale. But the superposition is very minimal. They are pretty much, let's say, evenly distributed.
speaker
Nicoletta
And then there is the other question, was on the Daytona, the number of units for the quarter compared to the year.
speaker
spk14
You can assume they were evenly distributed for the quarter. Thank you for your question. Thank you, Giorgio.
speaker
Antonio
We are now taking the next question. And the next question from Martino D'Ambrogio from Equita. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
speaker
Martino D'Ambrogio
Thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon. Good morning, everybody. My first question is a general question on the hybrid, because you are now in the region of 40% of volumes in hybrid. So I know a lot depends on the mix of specific models and so on. But is there any big difference between ICE and hybrid profitability, trying to explain a trend today and maybe also going forward? And the second question is on the price mix. This year, for sure, very strong. What's the speed that you see and we should imagine for next year? OK.
speaker
Nicoletta
I take it, Martino. I think it's important that we explain that you should not consider different margins for different power units. The way we look at our product range and its profitability is very much based on the positioning of each single car, irrespective of the power unit that it carries. And with respect to the development of the mix, I think we said the capital market day, we are aiming at having a very balanced product mix over the next four years. This is always our goal for a number of reasons. First, because it allows us to serve our clients the best possible way. Secondly, because it allows us to manage the product development and manufacturing activities in a balanced way. and ultimately because also the profitability would move gradually up along with the development of the product range.
speaker
spk14
Hope this helps. Okay, thank you.
speaker
Antonio
Thank you for your question. We are now running out of time, so we won't take any further questions, and I would like to end the conference to Benedetto for closing remarks. Please go ahead.
speaker
Roberto
Thank you all. Thank you for your time and also for all your questions. The second quarter of 23 really represents another important milestone for our company. We have the podium at Le Mans, the enthusiastic reception of both the SF90XX Stradale and Spyder, and the incredible level of attendance to our client events. And this is also fueling our confidence for the development of these years. And now I would like to wish you a good afternoon, good morning, and thank you also for your attention. Thank you.
