(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 earned by our racing teams (mainly in the Formula 1 World Championship and the World Endurance Championship) through sponsorship agreements, our share of the Formula 1 World Championship commercial revenues, and net revenues generated through the Ferrari brand, including fashion collection, merchandising, licensing and royalty income.
(3)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.
(4)Primarily relates to financial services activities and management of the Mugello racetrack and other sports-related activities.
Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were €1,544 million, an increase of €294 million or 23.5 percent (an increase of 25.8 percent on a constant currency basis), compared to €1,250 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
The change in net revenues was attributable to the combination of (i) a €277 million increase in cars and spare parts, (ii) a €18 million increase in sponsorship, commercial and brand and (iii) a €12 million increase in other net revenues, partially offset by (iv) a €13 million decrease in engines.

Cars and spare parts
Net revenues generated from cars and spare parts were €1,330 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of €277 million or 26.5 percent, compared to €1,053 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
The increase in net revenues from cars and spare parts was primarily attributable to higher car volumes, richer product and country mix, personalizations and pricing. Foreign currency exchange impact, including hedging transactions, was negative, mainly driven by the Chinese Yuan, Japanese Yen and U.S. Dollar.
Total shipments increased by 271 cars, from 3,188 cars in the third quarter of 2022 to 3,459 cars in the third quarter of 2023, reflecting volume, geographic and product allocation plans by quarter. The product portfolio in the third quarter included 9 internal combustion engine (ICE) models and 4 hybrid engine models, which represented 48.7 percent and 51.3 percent of total shipments, respectively. Shipments during the quarter were driven by the 296 and SF90 families, as well as the 812 Competizione A and the Purosangue, which were in the ramp up phase, partially offset by lower shipments of the F8 Tributo, which phased out in the first quarter of the year, and the F8 Spider, which is approaching the end of its lifecycle. Shipments of the Daytona SP3 were in line with plans.
The €277 million increase in net revenues from cars and spare parts was composed of: (i) a €161 million increase in EMEA, (ii) a €111 million increase in Americas, (iii) a €27 million increase in APAC and (iv) a €22 million decrease in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The mix of net revenues by geography reflects the geographic allocations of shipments by quarter and the pace of introduction of new models.
Sponsorship, commercial and brand
Net revenues generated from sponsorship, commercial agreements and brand management activities were €145 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of €18 million or 13.8 percent, compared to €127 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, mainly attributable to new racing sponsorships and a better prior year Formula 1 ranking.
Engines
Net revenues generated from engines were €28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of €13 million or 33.0 percent, compared to €41 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, driven by a decrease in engines sold to Maserati, for which the contract will expire at the end of 2023.
Other
Other revenues were €41 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of €12 million or 40.1 percent, compared to €29 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, mainly driven by an increase of financial services activities.

As a percentage of net revenues, cost of sales was 50.4 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 52.4 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
The increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to the change in product mix, higher car volumes and higher industrial costs, reflecting raw materials cost inflation and depreciation.

Research and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were €221 million, an increase of €39 million or 21.2 percent, compared to €182 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. As a percentage of net revenues, research and development costs were 14.3 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 14.6 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
The increase of €39 million was attributable to (i) higher amortization of capitalized development costs of €27 million driven by a general increase in capitalized development costs in recent years (from €320 million in 2020 to €363 million in 2021 and €416 million in 2022) in line with our strategy to innovate and broaden our product portfolio, and (ii) higher research and development costs expensed of €12 million.
Research and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are recognized net of technology-related government incentives.

EBIT for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was €423 million, an increase of €124 million or 41.6 percent, compared to €299 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. EBIT margin for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was 27.4 percent compared to 23.9 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
The increase in EBIT was primarily attributable to the combined effects of (i) positive volume impact of €33 million, (ii) positive product and country mix impact of €170 million, sustained by the Daytona SP3, the 812 Competizione and the SF90 families, as well as the growth in the Americas and higher contribution from personalizations and pricing, (iii) negative contribution of €39 million from research and development costs, (iv) negative contribution of €12 million from selling, general and administrative costs, (v) negative contribution of €5 million from the combined effects of higher industrial costs, reflecting the effects of inflation and higher depreciation, partially offset by a better prior year Formula 1 ranking and new racing sponsorships, and (vi) negative foreign currency exchange impact of €23 million (including foreign currency hedging instruments).

Cars and spare parts
Net revenues generated from cars and spare parts were €3,830 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of €674 million or 21.4 percent, compared to €3,156 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The increase in net revenues from cars and spare parts was primarily attributable to richer product and country mix, as well as the contribution from personalizations and pricing. Foreign currency exchange impact, including hedging transactions, was positive, mainly driven by the U.S. Dollar and partially offset by the Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan.
Total shipments increased by 524 cars, or 5.3 percent, from 9,894 cars for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to 10,418 cars for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The product portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included 10 internal combustion engine (ICE) models and 4 hybrid engine models, which represented 57.1 percent and 42.9 percent of shipments, respectively. The increase in shipments was mainly driven by the 296, SF90 and 812 Competizione families, as well as the Purosangue, which was in ramp up phase following the first deliveries in the second quarter of the year, partially offset by lower shipments of the F8 Tributo, which phased out in the first quarter of the year, and the F8 Spider, which is approaching the end of its lifecycle. Shipments of the Daytona SP3 were in line with plans.
The €674 million increase in net revenues from cars and spare parts was composed of: (i) a €340 million increase in EMEA, (ii) a €262 million increase in Americas, (iii) a €65 million increase in APAC and (iv) a 7 million increase in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The mix of net revenues by geography reflects the geographic allocations in line with the pace of introduction of new models.
Sponsorship, commercial and brand
Net revenues generated from sponsorship, commercial agreements and brand management activities were €422 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of €60 million or 16.5, compared to €362 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, mainly attributable to new racing sponsorships, a better prior year Formula 1 ranking and lifestyle-related activities.
Engines
Net revenues generated from engines were €88 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of €31 million or 26.3 percent, compared to €119 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The €31 million decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in engines sold to Maserati, which is approaching contract expiration at the end of 2023.
Other
Other revenues were €107 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of €17 million or 18.4 percent, compared to €90 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, mainly driven by an increase of financial services activities.

EBIT margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 28.0 percent compared to 24.9 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The increase in EBIT was primarily attributable to the combined effects of (i) positive volume impact of €58 million, (ii) positive product and country mix impact of €349 million, sustained by the Daytona SP3, the 812 Competizione and the SF90 families, as well as the growth in the Americas and Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and higher contribution from personalizations and pricing, (iii) negative contribution of €66 million from research and development costs, (iv) negative contribution of €46 million from selling, general and administrative costs, (v) negative contribution of €4 million from the combined effects of higher industrial costs, reflecting the effects of inflation and higher depreciation, substantially offset by higher commercial revenues from a better prior year Formula 1 ranking, new racing sponsorships and a higher contribution from lifestyle activities, as well as a partial release of environmental provisions as a result of more favorable market conditions for car emissions credits, and (vi) positive foreign currency exchange impact of €25 million (including foreign currency hedging instruments).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Overview
We require liquidity in order to fund our operations, meet our obligations, make capital investments and reward our shareholders. Short-term liquidity is required, among others, to purchase raw materials, parts, components and utilities for car production, as well as to for personnel and other operating costs. In addition to our general working capital and operational needs, we require cash for capital investments to support continuous product portfolio renewal and expansion, as well as for research and development activities aimed at continually innovating and improving our cars, including the transition of our product portfolio to hybrid and electric technology. We also make investments to enhance manufacturing efficiency, improve capacity, implement sustainability initiatives, ensure environmental and regulatory compliance and carry out maintenance activities, among others. We fund our capital expenditure primarily with cash generated from our operating activities. We also use liquidity to reward our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. At our Capital Markets Day held on June 16, 2022, we announced a new multi-year share repurchase program of approximately €2 billion that is expected to be executed by 2026, as well as an increase in our expected dividend payout ratio from 30 percent to 35 percent of Adjusted Net profit starting in 2022.
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 liquidity requirements. See also 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, and particularly at the end of the second quarter of the year when our inventory levels are generally higher to support the summer plant shutdown and as we deem necessary for agile supply chain management requirements.
We generally receive payment for cars between 30 and 40 days after the car is shipped (or earlier when sales financing arrangements 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, limited edition and Special Series models and certain Range models in selected markets. 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 in certain regions we may warehouse cars for longer periods of time to ensure timely deliveries. 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 the manufacturing of our 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 portfolio. 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 also 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, prioritize innovation and advanced technologies, and transition our product portfolio to hybrid and electric powertrains. We also continue to make significant capital investments in operating assets and infrastructure projects that are important for our continued growth and development, including for the ongoing construction of our new e-building, which will be used mainly for the production of BEVs and related components.
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, together with the remaining tax balance due for the previous year, and the remaining part of the advance payment in the third and/or fourth quarters. In addition to our income tax expense, our tax payments for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 also benefited from applying the aforementioned Patent Box tax regime in Italy.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 cash and cash equivalents held by the Group decreased by €377 million compared to an increase of €19 million for nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily attributable to the combined effects of:
(i)an increase in cash flows from operating activities of €217 million, driven by an increase in net profit excluding non-cash items, partially offset by higher absorption of cash for working capital, mainly due to an increase in inventories driven by yearly production planning and an enriched product mix, as well as by lower collection of advances for cars for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which mainly benefited from the collection of advances for the Daytona SP3;
(ii)an increase in cash flows used in investing activities of €55 million, driven by higher investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment reflecting our initiatives for product and infrastructure development; and
(iii)an increase in cash flows used in financing activities of €542 million, driven by an increase in (i) repayments of debt of €591 million (€645 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to €54 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022), (ii) dividends paid of €81 million (€332 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to €251 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022) and (iii) share repurchases of €73 million (€374 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to €301 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022), partially offset by an increase in (iv) proceeds from debt of €203 million (€341 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to €138 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022).

Intangible assets
Our total capital expenditures in intangible assets were €342 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (€308 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022).
The most significant investments in intangible assets 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 the engineering, design and development activities focused on content enhancement of existing cars and new models, including to broaden and innovate our product portfolio and our ongoing investments in advanced technologies (including hybrid and electric), as well as the development of key components used in our cars, which are necessary to provide continuing performance upgrades to our customers and which we expect to continue to develop primarily in-house.
In recent periods, our capitalized developments costs have significantly increased for the aforementioned initiatives, from €288 million for nine months ended September 30, 2022 to €323 million nine months ended September 30, 2023, and, on an annual basis, from €320 million in 2020 to €363 million in 2021 and €416 million in 2022. This has contributed to an increase in the proportion of capitalized development costs compared to total research and development costs, including the effects of the advancement through the stages of development for many of the technologies we are creating, as well as the cap on certain costs we may incur for the chassis of our Formula 1 racing cars and the development of the power unit to be introduced in 2026 (in accordance with applicable FIA financial regulations). In particular, capitalized development costs as a proportion of total research and development costs increased to 39.5 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 31.4 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 we invested €323 million in externally acquired and internally generated development costs, of which €234 million related to the development of models to be launched in future years and €89 million primarily related to the development of our current product portfolio and components.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 we invested €288 million in externally acquired and internally generated development costs, of which €205 million related to the development of models to be launched in future years and €83 million primarily related to the development of our current product portfolio and components.
Property, plant and equipment
Our total capital expenditures in property, plant and equipment for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, were €250 million and €202 million, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we made significant investments in infrastructure in line with our growth plans and our focus on the renewal and broadening of our product portfolio and supporting future model launches. In particular, we made investments:
•for the ongoing construction of our e-building, which will be used for the production of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and related components and expected to be opened in mid 2024;
•for tracts of land adjacent to our facilities in Maranello as part of our expansion plans (with cumulative investments of €127 million since the start of 2019 to September 30, 2023);
•for 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.
At September 30, 2023 the Group had contractual commitments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment amounting to €176 million (€201 million at December 31, 2022).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We monitor and evaluate our operating and financial performance using several non-GAAP financial measures including: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted Net Profit, Adjusted Basic Earnings per Common Share, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share, Net Debt, Net Industrial Debt, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities, as well as a number of financial metrics measured on a constant currency basis. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and relevant information 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.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as net profit before income tax expense, financial expenses/(income), net 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to net profit. There were no adjustments impacting EBITDA, therefore Adjusted EBITDA was equal to EBITDA for the periods presented.

See Note 13 “Earnings per Share” to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this document, for the calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per common share.
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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to €1,012 million at September 30, 2023 compared to €1,389 million at December 31, 2022.
The Euro represented 80 percent of our cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2023 (85 percent at December 31, 2022). 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 cash held in foreign currencies), which amounted to €69 million at September 30, 2023 (€97 million at December 31, 2022), 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.

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 €52 million at September 30, 2023 (€44 million at December 31, 2022).
Total available liquidity
Total available liquidity (defined as cash and cash equivalents plus undrawn committed credit lines) at September 30, 2023 was €1,612 million (€2,058 million at December 31, 2022).

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), intangible assets and joint ventures. 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).
The following table sets forth our Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Free Cash Flow from Financial Services Activities | (71) | (120) | |||||||||
Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities | 707 | 596 |
Free Cash Flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was €636 million, an increase of €160 million compared to €476 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For an explanation of the drivers in Free Cash Flow see “Cash Flows” above.
Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was €707 million compared to €596 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities of €111 million was primarily attributable to an increase of €417 million in net profit before income tax expense, financial expenses/(income), net and amortization and depreciation, partially offset by higher working capital, mainly due to an increase in inventories driven by yearly production planning and an enriched product mix, lower collection of advances for cars for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (which mainly benefited from the start of collection of advances for the Daytona SP3), and higher investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment reflecting our initiatives for product and infrastructure development.
Constant Currency Information
The “Results of Operations” discussion below 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 5 “Other Information” to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Interim Report, for information on the foreign currency exchange rates applied). Although we do not believe that these measures are a substitute for GAAP measures, we do believe that revenues excluding the impact of currency fluctuations and the impacts of hedging provide additional useful information to investors regarding the operating performance on a local currency basis.
27
Risk Factors
We face a variety of risks and uncertainties in our business. For a description of these risks and uncertainties please see “Risk Factors” in the Group’s Annual Report and Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the AFM and the SEC on February 24, 2023. All such risks factors should be read in conjunction with this Interim Report. 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.
28
Outlook
Upward revised 2023 guidance, based on the following assumptions for the year:
•Strong product mix and personalizations higher than initially expected;
•Better revenues from racing activities;
•Continuing cost inflation;
•Increasing depreciation and amortization in line with the start of production of new models;
•Industrial free cash flow generation sustained by strong profitability, partially offset by disciplined capital expenditures and negative change in working capital.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Background
Ferrari is among the world’s leading luxury brands. The activities of Ferrari N.V. (herein referred to as “Ferrari” or the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries the “Group”) and its subsidiaries are focused on the design, engineering, production and sale of luxury performance sports cars. The cars are designed, engineered and produced in Maranello and Modena, Italy and sold in more than 60 markets worldwide through a network of 178 authorized dealers operating 196 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 14 Ferrari-owned directly operated stores and 2 franchised stores, 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 directly or through cooperation or other agreements with financial institutions. Ferrari also participates in the Formula 1 World Championship through its team Scuderia Ferrari and the World Endurance Championship through its Ferrari Endurance Teams. Ferrari’s racing activities are a core element of Ferrari marketing and promotional activities, as well as an important source of innovation to support the technological advancement of Ferrari’s product portfolio.
2. AUTHORIZATION OF INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
These Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Ferrari N.V. were authorized for issuance on November 2, 2023, and have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 — Interim Financial Reporting. The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”), which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and IFRS as endorsed by the European Union. There are no material effects on these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements resulting from differences between IFRS as issued by the IASB and IFRS as endorsed 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 accounting policies adopted are consistent with those used at December 31, 2022 except as described in the section “New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2023”.
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION FOR INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management’s best judgment at the date of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the period in which the circumstances change. Reference should be made to the section “Use of estimates” in the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of the more significant valuation procedures used by the Group.
Moreover, in accordance with IAS 34, certain valuation procedures, in particular those of a more complex nature regarding matters such as any impairment of non-current assets, are only carried out in full during the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, when all the related information necessary is available, other than in the event that there are indications of impairment, in which case an immediate assessment is required. Similarly, the actuarial valuations that are required for the determination of employee benefit provisions are also usually carried out during the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, except in the event of significant market fluctuations, or significant plan amendments, curtailments, or settlements.
F-6
In the interim consolidated income statement, the Group presents a subtotal for its operating profit before interest and taxes which is named Operating profit Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT). The terms Operating profit and EBIT are used synonymously throughout these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Operating profit (EBIT) distinguishes between the profit before taxes arising from operating items and those arising from financing activities. Operating profit (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 and allocate resources.
New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2023
The following new standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2023 were adopted by the Group.
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 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. There was no effect 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. There was no effect 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. There was no effect 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. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.
In December 2021, the IASB issued 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. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.
In June 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 4 — Insurance Contracts which defer the expiry date of the temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.
In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 — Income taxes: International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules, to clarify the application of IAS 12 — Income taxes to income taxes arising from tax law enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Pillar Two model rules (Pillar Two income taxes). The amendments introduce: (i) a mandatory temporary exception to the accounting for deferred taxes arising from the jurisdictional implementation of the Pillar Two model rules, which was effective immediately upon issuance of the amendment, and (ii) disclosure requirements for affected entities to help users of the financial statements better understand an entity’s exposure to Pillar Two income taxes arising from that legislation, particularly before the effective date of the Pillar Two model rules, which apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, but not for any interim periods ending on or before December 31, 2023. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the disclosure requirements for the year end consolidated financial statements.
F-7
New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet effective
The standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board that will have mandatory application in 2024 or subsequent years are listed below:
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, 2024. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In September 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 — Leases: Liability in a Sale and Leaseback to improve the requirements for sale and leaseback transactions, which specify the measurement of the liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2024. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 — Presentation of Financial Statements: Non-current Liabilities with Covenants, that clarify how conditions with which an entity must comply within twelve months after the reporting period affect the classification of a liability. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2024. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 — Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 — Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements, that introduce new disclosure requirements to enhance the transparency and usefulness of the information provided by entities about supplier finance arrangements and are intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. The amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2024. The Group is evaluating the potential impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In August 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21 — The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability, to clarify how an entity has to apply a consistent approach to assessing whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency and, when it is not, to determine the exchange rate to use and the disclosures to provide. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2025. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
Scope of consolidation
There were no changes in the scope of consolidation for the periods presented in these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
4. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS
The Group is exposed to various operational financial risks, including financial market risk (relating mainly to foreign currency exchange rates and, to a lesser extent, interest rates and commodity prices), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and disclosures on financial risk management required in the annual consolidated financial statements. For a detailed description of the financial risk factors and financial risk management of the Group, reference should be made to Note 30 “Qualitative and Quantitative Information on Financial Risks” of the Consolidated Financial Statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

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 increase in special voting shares held in treasury primarily reflects certain de-registrations under the Company’s special voting shares term and conditions. On June 26, 2023, the Company completed the second tranche of the new multi-year share repurchase program. On June 30, 2022 the Company announced its intention to commence the third tranche of the new multi-year common share repurchase program.

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 typically associated with the related receivables. As a result, the receivables sold through securitization programs are still consolidated until collection from the customer. The securitization agreements for both programs require the maintenance of an interest rate cap.

24. OTHER LIABILITIES
An analysis of other liabilities is as follows:
At September 30, 2023 | At December 31, 2022 | ||||||||||
(€ thousand) | |||||||||||
Advances and security deposits | 459,461 | 451,166 | |||||||||

Total other liabilities | 1,081,259 | 952,025 |
Advances and security deposits primarily include advances received for the purchase of Icona and limited edition models. Upon shipment of the cars, the advances are recognized as revenue.
Deferred income primarily includes amounts received under maintenance and power warranty programs of €254,766 thousand at September 30, 2023 and €239,879 thousand at December 31, 2022, which are deferred and recognized as net revenues over the length of the maintenance program.

The increase in deferred revenue primarily relates to advances received for Formula 1 sponsorship agreements.
25. TRADE PAYABLES
Trade payables of €812,800 thousand at September 30, 2023 (€902,968 thousand at December 31, 2022) are entirely due within one year. The carrying amount of trade payables is considered to be equivalent to their fair value.
F-23
26. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement establishes a three levels 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 September 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022:
At September 30, 2023 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Total liabilities | — | 19,993 | — | 19,993 |
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 rate and interest rates, as applicable, at the balance sheet date.
The par value of cash and cash equivalents usually approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments, which consist primarily of current bank accounts.
F-24
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 the fair value for the most relevant categories of financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
