Letter from the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer
Dear Stakeholders, 
2021 was a pivotal year for Ferrari. It was a year of continuity and renewal, with innovation and growth as its
themes, in line with our strategic objectives of brand exclusivity, product excellence, staying true to our racing DNA and
achieving carbon neutrality by 2030.
Our annual financial results, with a double-digit growth across all main financial indicators and exceeding our
guidance, proved once again the soundness of our business model. Last year the Group delivered 11,115 cars, recorded net
revenues of Euro 4,271 million and an exceptional EBITDA margin at a record level of 35.9%. Beyond these figures there
was an outstanding order intake, which we managed in line with our strategy to pursue a controlled growth and to preserve
brand exclusivity.
Everything we revealed to the world in 2021 demonstrates our leadership in technology, design and driving
experience. We have the broadest, most innovative, and most beautiful range of cars ever offered our customers, from the
revolutionary aerodynamics of the 812 Competizione, the exhilarating 296 GTB featuring our latest hybrid powertrain
combining a V6 turbo and electric motor, and the evocative Ferrari Daytona SP3, our latest limited edition Icona. 
When you buy a Ferrari you also join a vibrant, passionate community, and we focused on creating memorable,
unique and authentic experiences for our clients on road, on track and in person. We marked Cavalcade’s 10th anniversary
with a very special event in Sicily for Classiche and Moderne drivers, and we restarted our Tributi and Corse Clienti
activities, culminating in the Finali Mondiali at Mugello – all in full compliance with COVID-19 regulations.
We also brought our brand into exciting new territories: we launched our first fashion collection – a range that truly
reflects our excellence in quality and design – and we have begun to give our stores a fresh new look to complement our
merchandise. We reopened and revitalised our Cavallino restaurant while retaining its heritage.
On the track, this was our best ever season in GT racing, with Ferrari winning the Drivers’ and Manufacturers’
World titles in the FIA World Endurance Championship and victory at 24 Hours of Le Mans. We also announced our
eagerly-awaited return to the top class of such Championship in 2023 with our Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) programme. We
have attracted a passionate new audience with the Ferrari Esports Series, gaining 35,000 participants across Europe. With five
podium places and a third in the constructor standings, the Formula One season produced some encouraging signs – we’re
focusing our energy on the 2022 challenge, confident that the Scuderia has the best pair of drivers on the grid in Charles
Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
Amidst our achievements, we continue in our unwavering pursuit of reaching carbon neutrality by 2030, addressing
– in addition to our electrification journey – both direct and indirect emissions with a focus on energy and materials. As a
further step forward in this process, in 2021 we calculated our carbon footprint considering the emissions related to all the
Group activities over our entire value chain. Our calculation, based on GHG protocol methodology, has been certified
according ISO 14064 requirements by a third-party player and allowed us to determine priority areas for action.
Our founder said, “Ferrari is made above all by people.” Last year, as ever, it was essential that we continued to
invest in training for our workers, care for their wellbeing and value the wonderful diversity of talent in our company. Our
efforts were rewarded in 2021 by Equal Salary certification for the second consecutive year in Italy, and the first time in the
United States.
We have also refined our company’s organisational structure to foster innovation, optimise processes and increase
collaboration, both internally and with our partners. By promoting internal talent and through the appointment of some key
strategic external hires, we have enhanced our agility and are ready to seize the opportunities ahead.
4
The process of growing and learning together has always underpinned our success. In 2022 we celebrate our 75th
Anniversary since the opening of the Maranello factory as a single, formidable team, ready to embrace all the exciting
challenges and rewards that the future will hold.

_____________________________
(1)Basic and diluted earnings per common share in 2020 benefited from the one-off partial step-up of certain trademarks for tax purposes, which resulted
in a net tax benefit of €75 million. The increase in the basic and diluted earnings per common share in 2018 compared to 2017 includes the effects of
applying the Patent Box tax regime starting in the third quarter of 2018. See Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share in the section
“Non-GAAP Financial Measures” as well as Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, both included elsewhere in this document, for
additional information.
(2)In order to calculate the diluted earnings per common share the weighted average number of shares outstanding has been increased to take into
consideration the theoretical effect of (i) the potential common shares that would have been issued under the equity incentive plan for the years ended
December 31, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017 (assuming 100 percent of the related awards vested), and (ii) the potential common shares that would
have been issued for the Non-Executive Directors’ compensation agreement for the year ended December 31, 2017. See Note 12 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information.
(3)Following approval of the annual accounts by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders on April 15, 2021, a dividend
distribution of €0.867 per outstanding common share was approved, corresponding to a total distribution of €160 million. Following approval of the
annual accounts by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders on April 16, 2020, a dividend distribution of €1.13 per
outstanding common share was approved, corresponding to a total distribution of €209 million. Following approval of the annual accounts by the
shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders on April 12, 2019, a dividend distribution of €1.03 per outstanding common share
was approved, corresponding to a total distribution of €193 million. Following approval of the annual accounts by the shareholders at the Annual
General Meeting of the Shareholders on April 13, 2018, a dividend distribution of €0.71 per outstanding common share was approved, corresponding
to a total distribution of €134 million. Such dividend distributions were made from the retained earnings reserve.

(4)Following approval of the annual accounts by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders on April 14, 2017, a cash
distribution of €0.635 per outstanding common share was approved, corresponding to a total distribution of €120 million. Such distribution was made
from the share premium reserve which is a distributable reserve under Dutch law.
(5)Translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the dates on which the distribution was declared in U.S. Dollars for common shares that
are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. These translations are examples only, and should not be construed as a representation that the Euro

Creating Value for Our Shareholders
Ferrari is among the world’s leading luxury brands with unique, world-class capabilities, and a vision built on our
historic foundations and strengths.
We are fiercely protective of our brand, which is among the most iconic and recognizable in the world and critical to
our value proposition to all of our stakeholders. We strive to maintain and enhance the power of our brand and the passion we
inspire in clients and the broader community of automotive enthusiasts by continuing our rigorous production and distribution
model, which promotes excellence in innovation, design and exclusivity.
We also support our brand value by promoting a strong connection to our company and our brand among the
community of Ferrari enthusiasts. We focus relentlessly on strengthening this connection by rewarding our most loyal clients
through a range of initiatives, such as driving events and client activities in Maranello and, most importantly, by providing
our most loyal and active clients with preferential access to our newest, most exclusive and highest value cars. As a result, in
2021 we sold approximately 59% of our new cars to already Ferrari customers and 32% to customers being current owners of
more than one Ferrari, which reinforces the demand for our cars and the image of luxury and exclusivity inherent in our
brand.
Our commitment to excellence and our pursuit of innovation, state-of-the-art performance and distinction in design
and engineering in our luxury cars is inseparable from our commitment to integrity, transparency and responsibility in the
conduct of our business. By fully integrating environmental and social considerations with economic objectives we are able
to identify potential risks and capitalize on additional opportunities, resulting in a process of continuous improvement.
Sustainability is a core element of our governance model and executive management plays a direct and active role in
developing and achieving our sustainability objectives under the oversight of our Board of Directors.
The foundation of a responsible company rests on being fully attentive to the nature and extent of this
interconnection and our understanding of both the potential effects of our activities and how those effects can be mitigated
through responsible management.
To provide for tangible long-term value creation, we place particular emphasis on:
a governance model based on transparency and integrity;
a safe and eco-friendly working environment including excellent working conditions and respect for human rights;
professional development of our employees;
mutually beneficial relationships with business partners and the communities in which we operate;
mitigation of environmental impacts from our production processes and the luxury cars we produce, addressing
direct and indirect GHG emissions, focusing on energy and materials, in addition to our electrification journey.
The Non Financial Statement section of our 2021 Annual Report addresses those aspects of our sustainability efforts
that we have identified as being of greatest importance to our internal and external stakeholders.
11
Risk Factors
We face a variety of risks and uncertainties in our business. Those described below are not the only risks and
uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe to be
immaterial, may also become important factors that affect us.
Risks Related to Our Business, Strategy and Operations
We may not succeed in preserving and enhancing the value of the Ferrari brand, which we depend upon to drive demand
and revenues.
Our financial performance is influenced by the perception and recognition of the Ferrari brand, which, in turn,
depends on many factors such as the design, performance, quality and image of our cars, the appeal of our dealerships and
stores, the success of our promotional activities including public relations and marketing, as well as our general profile,
including our brand’s image of exclusivity. The value of our brand and our ability to achieve premium pricing for Ferrari-
branded products may decline if we are unable to maintain the value and image of the Ferrari brand, including, in particular,
its aura of exclusivity. Maintaining the value of our brand will depend significantly on our ability to continue to produce
luxury performance cars of the highest quality. The market for luxury goods generally and for luxury automobiles in
particular is intensely competitive, and we may not be successful in maintaining and strengthening the appeal of our brand.
Client preferences, particularly among luxury goods, can vary over time, sometimes rapidly. We are therefore exposed to
changing perceptions of our brand image, particularly as we seek to attract new generations of clients and, to that end, we
continuously renovate and expand the range of our models. For example, the gradual expansion of hybrid engine technology
(already integrated in past models such as the LaFerrari and the LaFerrari Aperta, as well as in the more recent 296 GTB,
SF90 Stradale and SF90 Spider) and electric engine technology will introduce a notable change in the overall driver
experience compared to the combustion engine cars of our historical models. Any failure to preserve and enhance the value of
our brand may materially and adversely affect our ability to sell our cars, to maintain premium pricing, and to extend the
value of our brand into other activities profitably or at all.
We selectively license the Ferrari brand to third parties that produce and sell Ferrari-branded luxury goods and
therefore we rely on our licensing partners to preserve and enhance the value of our brand. If our licensees or the
manufacturers of these products do not maintain the standards of quality and exclusivity that we believe are consistent with
the Ferrari brand, or if such licensees or manufacturers otherwise misuse the Ferrari brand, our reputation and the integrity
and value of our brand may be damaged and our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially and
adversely affected. In addition, in 2019 we announced a brand diversification strategy that will significantly increase the
deployment of our brand in non-car products and experiences. If this strategy is not successful, our brand image may be
diluted or tainted.
Our brand image depends in part on the success of our Formula 1 racing team.
The prestige, identity, and appeal of the Ferrari brand depend in part on the continued success of the Scuderia Ferrari
racing team in the Formula 1 World Championship. The racing team is a key component of our marketing strategy and may
be perceived by our clients as a demonstration of the technological capabilities of our sports, GT, special series and Icona
cars, which also supports the appeal of other Ferrari-branded luxury goods. We are focused on improving our racing results
and restoring our historical position as the premier racing team particularly in Formula 1 as our most recent Drivers’
Championship and Constructors’ Championship were in 2007 and 2008, respectively. If we are unable to attract and retain
the necessary talent to succeed in international competitions or devote the capital necessary to fund successful racing
activities, the value of the Ferrari brand and the appeal of our cars and other luxury goods may suffer. Even if we are able to
attract such talent and adequately fund our racing activities, there is no assurance that this will lead to competitive success for
our racing team.
The success of our racing team depends in particular on our ability to attract and retain top drivers, racing team
management and engineering talent. Our primary Formula 1 drivers, team managers and other key employees of Scuderia
Ferrari are critical to the success of our racing team and if we were to lose their services, this could have a material adverse
effect on the success of our racing team and correspondingly the Ferrari brand. If we are unable to find adequate
replacements or to attract, retain and incentivize drivers and team managers, other key employees or new qualified personnel,
the success of our racing team may suffer. As the success of our racing team forms a large part of our brand identity, a
sustained period without racing success could detract from the Ferrari brand and, as a result, from potential clients’
12
enthusiasm for the Ferrari brand and their perception of our cars, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic or similar public health crises that may materially and
adversely affect our business
Public health crises such as pandemics or similar outbreaks could adversely impact our business. Starting in early
2020 the global spread of COVID-19 led to governments around the world mandating increasingly restrictive measures to
contain the pandemic, including social distancing, quarantine, “shelter in place” or similar orders, travel restrictions and
suspension of non-essential business activities. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruption to the global
economy, including changes in consumer spending and behavior, disruption to supply chains and financial markets, as well as
restrictions on business and individual activities. In 2020, the pandemic led to a global economic slowdown and a severe
recession in several of the markets in which we operate and while economies recovered partially in 2021, the pandemic
continues to be unpredictable and additional containment measures may lead to further economic downturns.
From mid-March to early May 2020, we temporarily suspended production at our plants in Maranello and Modena,
while implementing remote working arrangements for all non-manufacturing related activities. We were able to return to full
production in May 2020. We generally realize minimal revenue while our facilities are shut down, but we continue to incur
expenses. Moreover, the negative cash impact is exacerbated by the fact that, despite not selling cars, we have to continue to
pay suppliers for components previously ordered. We continue to take measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 at our
facilities, while continuing to guarantee the possibility of remote work for those employees whose job activity is compatible
with such work arrangements.
In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and related government measures, we experienced delays in shipments
of cars from March 2020 to May 2020 due to restrictions on dealers’ activities or the inability of customers to take deliveries
of cars. Although certain restrictions have remained in place or been reimplemented in some of the countries where Ferrari
operates, since May 2020 substantially all Ferrari dealerships remained operational and order collections continued. For
further information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and liquidity, see “COVID-19
Pandemic Update and Financial Overview”. While the overall COVID-19 situation improved in 2021 in countries that
have rolled out vaccination campaigns, our business and operating results may be negatively impacted if the virus worsens or
mutates, if vaccination efforts are unsuccessful or if regions or countries implement further restrictions to contain the virus.
The resurgence of the pandemic in several European countries and elsewhere in the last months of 2021, including due to the
highly transmissible Delta and Omicron variants, have led governments to reintroduce containment measures and
increasingly stringent restrictions may be imposed in the coming periods. We may yet experience a new shutdown or
slowdown of all or part of our manufacturing facilities, including in the event that our employees are diagnosed with
COVID-19 or our supply chains are disrupted, or if additional “waves” of the pandemic lead to further government actions.
Management time and resources may need to be spent on COVID-19 related matters, distracting them from the
implementation of our strategy. In addition, the prophylactic measures we have adopted or that we will be required to adopt at
our facilities may be costly and may affect production levels. Our suppliers, customers, dealers, franchisees and other
contractual counterparties may be restricted or prevented from conducting business activities for indefinite or intermittent
periods of time, including as a result of safety concerns, shutdowns, slowdowns, illness of such parties’ workforce and other
actions and restrictions requested or mandated by governmental authorities. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic may lead
to financial distress for our suppliers or dealers, as a result of which they may have to permanently discontinue or
substantially reduce their operations. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may lead to higher working capital needs, reduced
liquidity and certain limitations in the supply of credit, which may ultimately lead to higher costs of capital for Ferrari. Any
of the foregoing could limit customer demand or our capacity to meet customer demand and have a material adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our brand activities across different jurisdictions have also been, and may continue to be, adversely impacted, due to
the temporary closure of the Ferrari stores, museums and theme parks in the first quarter of 2020 to comply with government
orders, with an adverse impact on our revenues originating from such activities. Although Ferrari stores gradually reopened
starting in May 2020, to date in-store traffic has not yet recovered to pre-pandemic levels and Ferrari stores, museums and
theme parks may continue to be subject to certain restrictions as a result of local regulations, although overall brand activities
have increased in 2021 compared to 2020.
13
The Formula 1 2021 World Championship was also disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, albeit to a lesser
extent than the prior’s year edition.  Government measures or decisions of Formula 1 may disrupt the Formula 1 2022 World
Championship, with potential material adverse effects on our revenues and profits.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Ferrari’s results of operations and financial condition will depend largely
on future events outside of our control, including ongoing developments in the pandemic, the success of containment
measures, vaccination campaigns and other actions taken by governments around the world, as well as the overall condition
and outlook of the global economy. While we are continuing to monitor and assess the evolution of the pandemic and its
effects on both the macroeconomic scenario and our financial position and results of operations, significant uncertainty
remains around the length and extent of the restrictions in the markets in which we operate. However, the effects on our
business, results of operations, financial performance and cash flows may be material and adverse.
The COVID-19 pandemic may also exacerbate other risks disclosed in this section, including, but not limited to, our
competitiveness, demand for our products, shifting consumer preferences, exchange rate fluctuations, customers’ and dealers’
access to affordable financing, and credit market conditions affecting the availability of capital and financial resources.
Please refer to “COVID-19 Pandemic Update and “Financial Overview” for additional information relating to how
the COVID-19 pandemic impacted our results of operations and financial condition.
If we are unable to keep up with advances in high performance car technology, our brand and competitive position may
suffer.
Performance cars are characterized by leading-edge technology that is constantly evolving. In particular, advances in
racing technology often lead to improved technology in road cars. Although we invest heavily in research and development,
we may be unable to maintain our leading position in high performance car technology and, as a result, our competitive
position may suffer. As technologies change, we plan to upgrade or adapt our cars and introduce new models in order to
continue to provide cars with the latest technology. However, our cars may not compete effectively with our competitors’
cars if we are not able to develop, source and integrate the latest technology into our cars. For example, in the next few years
luxury performance cars will increasingly transition to hybrid and electric technology, albeit at a slower pace compared to
mass market vehicles. See “The introduction of hybrid and electric technology in our cars is costly and its long-term success
is uncertain”. We are also increasingly investing in connectivity, which requires significant investments in research and
development; we expect that the future generation of cars will feature a high degree of connectivity for purposes of
infotainment, safety and regulatory compliance.
Developing and applying new automotive technologies is costly, and may become even more costly in the future as
available technology advances and competition in the industry increases. If our research and development efforts do not lead
to improvements in car performance relative to the competition, or if we are required to spend more to achieve comparable
results, the sales of our cars or our profitability may suffer.
If our car designs do not appeal to clients, our brand and competitive position may suffer.
Design and styling are an integral component of our models and our brand. Our cars have historically been
characterized by distinctive designs combining the aerodynamics of a sports car with powerful, elegant lines. We believe our
clients purchase our cars for their appearance as well as their performance. However, we will need to renew over time the
style of our cars to differentiate the new models we produce from older models, and to reflect the broader evolution of
aesthetics in our markets. We devote great efforts to the design of our cars and most of our current models are designed by
the Ferrari Design Centre, our in-house design team. The design of our electric cars and, more generally, of our future models
with increased connectivity features will depart from past designs in appearance and functionality, thereby requiring new
skills and presenting new challenges. If the design of our future models fails to meet the evolving tastes and preferences of
our clients and prospective clients, or the appreciation of the wider public, our brand may suffer and our sales may be
adversely affected.
The value of our brand depends in part on the automobile collector and enthusiast community.
An important factor in the connection of clients to the Ferrari brand is our strong relationship with the global
community of automotive collectors and enthusiasts, particularly collectors and enthusiasts of Ferrari automobiles. This is
influenced by our close ties to the automotive collectors’ community and our support of related events (such as car shows and
driving events) at our headquarters in Maranello and through our dealers, the Ferrari museums and affiliations with regional
14
Ferrari clubs. The support of this community also depends upon the perception of our cars as collectibles, which we also
support through our Ferrari Classiche services, and the active resale market for our automobiles which encourages interest
over the long-term. The increase in the number of cars we produce relative to the number of automotive collectors and
purchasers in the secondary market may adversely affect our cars’ value as collectible items and in the secondary market
more broadly.
If there is a change in collector appetite or damage to the Ferrari brand, our ties to, and the support we receive from,
this community may be diminished. Such a loss of enthusiasm for our cars from the automotive collectors’ community could
harm the perception of the Ferrari brand and adversely impact our sales and profitability.
Our business is subject to changes in client preferences and trends in the automotive and luxury industries.
Our continued success depends in part on our ability to originate and define products and trends in the automotive
and luxury industries, as well as to anticipate and respond promptly to changing consumer demands and automotive trends in
the design, styling, technology, production, merchandising and pricing of our products. Our products must appeal to a client
base whose preferences cannot be predicted with certainty and are subject to rapid change. Evaluating and responding to
client preferences has become even more complex in recent years, due to our expansion in new geographical markets. The
introduction of hybrid and electric technology and the associated changes in customer preferences that may follow are also a
challenge we will face in future periods. See also “If we are unable to keep up with advances in high performance car
technology, our brand and competitive position may suffer” and “The introduction of hybrid and electric technology in our
cars is costly and its long-term success is uncertain”. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to produce,
distribute and market new products efficiently or that any product category that we may expand or introduce will achieve
sales levels sufficient to generate profits. We will encounter this risk, for example, as we introduce the Purosangue, a luxury
high performance vehicle within the GT range that we are developing and is expected to commence production in 2022 with
deliveries starting in 2023. Furthermore this risk is particularly pronounced as we expand in accordance with our strategy into
adjacent segments of the luxury industry, where we do not have a level of experience and market presence comparable to the
one we have in the automotive industry. Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
Demand for luxury goods, including luxury performance cars, is volatile, which may adversely affect our operating
results.
Volatility of demand for luxury goods, in particular luxury performance cars, may adversely affect our business,
operating results and financial condition. The market in which we sell our cars is subject to volatility in demand. Demand for
luxury automobiles depends to a large extent on general, economic, political and social conditions in a given market as well
as the introduction of new vehicles and technologies. As a luxury performance car manufacturer and low volume producer,
we compete with larger automobile manufacturers many of which have greater financial resources in order to withstand
changes in the market and disruptions in demand. Demand for our cars may also be affected by factors directly impacting the
cost of purchasing and operating automobiles, such as the availability and cost of financing, prices of raw materials and parts
and components, fuel costs and governmental regulations, including tariffs, import regulation and other taxes, including taxes
on luxury goods, resulting in limitations to the use of high performance sports cars or luxury goods more generally. Volatility
in demand may lead to lower car unit sales, which may result in downward price pressure and adversely affect our business,
operating results and financial condition. The impact of a luxury market downturn may be particularly pronounced for the
most expensive among our car models, which generate a more than proportionate amount of our profits, therefore
exacerbating the impact on our results. In addition, these effects may have a more pronounced impact on us given our low
volume strategy and relatively smaller scale as compared to large global mass-market automobile manufacturers.
We face competition in the luxury performance car industry.
We face competition in all product categories and markets in which we operate. We compete with other international
luxury performance car manufacturers which own and operate well-known brands of high-quality cars, some of which form
part of larger automotive groups and may have greater financial resources and bargaining power with suppliers than we do,
particularly in light of our policy to maintain low volumes in order to preserve and enhance the exclusivity of our cars. In
addition, several other manufacturers have recently entered or are attempting to enter the upper end of the luxury
performance car market, including with advanced electric technology, thereby increasing competition. We believe that we
compete primarily on the basis of our brand image, the performance and design of our cars, our reputation for quality and the
driving experience for our customers. If we are unable to compete successfully, our business, results of operations and
financial condition could be adversely affected.
15
Our controlled growth strategy exposes us to risks.
Our growth strategy includes a controlled expansion of our sales and operations, including the launching of new car
models and expanding sales, as well as dealer operations and workshops, in targeted growth regions internationally. In
particular, our growth strategy requires us to expand operations in regions that we have identified as having relatively high
growth potential. We may encounter difficulties in entering and establishing ourselves in these markets, including in
establishing new successful dealership networks and facing more significant competition from competitors that are already
present in those regions.
Our growth depends on the continued success of our existing cars, as well as the successful introduction of new cars.
Our ability to create new cars and to sustain existing car models is affected by whether we can successfully anticipate and
respond to consumer preferences and car trends. The failure to develop successful new cars or delays in their launch that
could result in others bringing new products and leading-edge technologies to the market first, could compromise our
competitive position and hinder the growth of our business. As part of our growth strategy, we plan to broaden the range of
our models to capture additional customer demand for different types of vehicles and modes of utilization. At our Capital
Markets Day in September 2018, we announced our plan to introduce 15 new models in the 2019-2022 period (which is
unprecedented for Ferrari over a similar time period), including the Icona limited editions, a concept that takes inspiration
from our iconic cars of the past and interprets them in a modern way with innovative technology and materials. In the GT
range, we are developing a luxury high performance vehicle, the Purosangue, and we are developing a new line of cars
powered by V6 engines, starting with the 296 GTB, which was unveiled in June 2021. In addition, we will gradually but
rapidly expand the use of hybrid and electric technology in our road cars, consistent with customer preferences and broader
industry trends. While we will seek to ensure that these changes remain fully consistent with the Ferrari car identity, we
cannot be certain that they will prove profitable and commercially successful.
Our growth strategy may expose us to new business risks that we may not have the expertise, capability or the
systems to manage. This strategy will also place significant demands on us by requiring us to continuously evolve and
improve our operational, financial and internal controls. Continued expansion also increases the challenges involved in
maintaining high levels of quality, management and client satisfaction, recruiting, training and retaining sufficiently skilled
management, technical and marketing personnel. If we are unable to manage these risks or meet these demands, our growth
prospects and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We continuously improve our international network footprint and skill set. We also plan to open additional retail
stores in international markets. We do not yet have significant experience directly operating in many of these markets, and in
many of them we face established competitors. Many of these countries have different operational characteristics, including
but not limited to employment and labor, transportation, logistics, real estate, environmental regulations and local reporting or
legal requirements.
Consumer demand and behavior, as well as tastes and purchasing trends may differ in these markets, and as a result,
sales of our products may not be successful, or the margins on those sales may not be in line with those we currently
anticipate. Furthermore, such markets will have upfront short-term investment costs that may not be accompanied by
sufficient revenues to achieve typical or expected operational and financial performance and therefore may be dilutive to us
in the short-term. In many of these countries, there is significant competition to attract and retain experienced and talented
employees.
Consequently, if our international expansion plans are unsuccessful, our business, results of operations and financial
condition could be materially adversely affected.
Our low volume strategy may limit potential profits, and if volumes increase our brand exclusivity may be eroded.
A key to the appeal of the Ferrari brand and our marketing strategy is the aura of exclusivity and the sense of luxury
which our brand conveys. A central facet to this exclusivity is the limited number of models and cars we produce and our
strategy of maintaining our car waiting lists to reach the optimal combination of exclusivity and client service. Our low
volume strategy is also an important factor in the prices that our clients are willing to pay for our cars. This focus on
maintaining exclusivity limits our potential sales growth and profits compared to manufacturers less reliant on the exclusivity
of their products.
On the other hand, our current growth strategy contemplates a measured but significant increase in car sales above
current levels as we target a larger customer base and modes of use, we increase our focus on GT cars, and our product
16
portfolio evolves with a broader product range. We sold 11,155 cars in 2021 compared to 7,255 cars in 2014, and sales are
expected to continue to increase gradually.
In pursuit of our strategy, we may be unable to maintain the exclusivity of the Ferrari brand. If we are unable to
balance brand exclusivity with increased production, we may erode the desirability and ultimately the consumer demand or
relative pricing for our cars. As a result, if we are unable to increase car production meaningfully or introduce new car
models without eroding the image of exclusivity in our brand we may be unable to significantly increase our revenues.
The small number of car models we produce and sell may result in greater volatility in our financial results.
We depend on the sales of a small number of car models to generate our revenues. Our current product range
consists of eight range models (six sports cars and two GT cars), two special series models and three strictly limited edition
Icona models. While we anticipate expanding our car offerings as part of our growth strategy, through our previously
announced plan to introduce 15 new products in the 2019-2022 period, a limited number of models will continue to account
for a large portion of our revenues at any given time in the foreseeable future, compared to other automakers. Therefore, a
single unsuccessful new model would harm us more than it would other automakers. There can be no assurance that our cars
will continue to be successful in the market, or that we will be able to launch new models on a timely basis compared to our
competitors. It generally takes several years from the beginning of the development phase to the start of production for a new
model and the car development process is capital intensive. As a result, we would likely be unable to replace quickly the
revenue lost from one of our main car models if it does not achieve market acceptance. Furthermore, our revenues and profits
may also be affected by our special series and limited edition models (including the Icona limited editions) that we launch
from time to time and which are typically priced higher than our range models. There can be no assurance that we will be
successful in developing, producing and marketing additional new cars (including our special series and limited edition
models) to sustain sales growth in the future.
Global economic conditions, pandemics and macro events may adversely affect us.
Our sales volumes and revenues may be affected by overall general economic conditions within the various
countries in which we operate. Deteriorating general economic conditions may affect disposable incomes and reduce
consumer wealth impacting client demand, particularly for luxury goods, which may negatively impact our profitability and
put downward pressure on our prices and volumes. Furthermore, during recessionary periods, social acceptability of luxury
purchases may decrease and higher taxes may be more likely to be imposed on certain luxury goods including our cars, which
may affect our sales. Adverse economic conditions may also affect the financial health and performance of our dealers in a
manner that will affect sales of our cars or their ability to meet their commitments to us.
The luxury performance car market is generally affected by global macroeconomic conditions and many factors
affect the level of consumer spending in the luxury performance car industry, including the state of the economy as a whole,
stock market performance, interest and exchange rates, inflation, political uncertainty, the availability of consumer credit, tax
rates, unemployment levels and other matters that influence consumer confidence. In general, although our sales have
historically been comparatively resilient in periods of economic turmoil, sales of luxury goods tend to decline during
recessionary periods when the level of disposable income tends to be lower or when consumer confidence is low. Significant
inflationary pressures appeared in 2021 in many of the markets in which we operate and this trend has continued in early
2022. If this trend continues going forward, we could experience an increase in the costs we incur for raw materials, utilities
or services, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations if we are not able to pass on the increased
costs to our customers or successfully implement other mitigating actions. Furthermore, following the recent rise in inflation,
many central banks are signaling that interest rate increases may be expected in the coming months, which is in turn expected
to increase our cost of borrowing and the market rates for new car financing as well. Such increases could impact our ability
to obtain affordable financing or could make our cars less affordable to clients, which could cause consumers to delay the
purchase of our cars or to purchase less expensive cars.
We are also susceptible to risks relating to epidemics and pandemics of diseases. See “We are subject to risks
related to the COVID-19 pandemic that may materially and adversely affect our business”.
We distribute our products internationally and we may be affected by downturns in general economic conditions or
uncertainties regarding future economic prospects that may impact the countries in which we sell a significant portion of our
products. In particular, the majority of our current sales are in the EU and in the United States; if we are unable to expand in
other growth markets, a downturn in mature economies such as the EU and the United States may negatively affect our
financial performance. In addition, uncertainties regarding future trade arrangements and industrial policies in various
17
countries or regions, such as in the United Kingdom following the exit from the European Union (see further “We may be
adversely affected by the UK’s exit from the European Union (Brexit)”) create additional macroeconomic risk. In the United
States, any policy to discourage import into the United States of vehicles produced elsewhere could adversely affect our
operations. Any new policies may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Although Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan only represented approximately 8 percent of our net revenues in 2021 and
is expected to represent a limited proportion of our growth in the short term, slowing economic conditions in Mainland
China, Hong Kong and Taiwan may adversely affect our revenues in that region. A significant decline in the EU, the global
economy or in the specific economies of our markets, or in consumers’ confidence, could have a material adverse effect on
our business. See also “Developments in China and other growth markets may adversely affect our business”.
Additionally, sanctions and export controls which could be introduced as a result of geopolitical tensions and
conflicts could adversely affect, directly or indirectly, our supply chain and customers, as well as the global financial markets
and financial services industry. See also “We depend on our suppliers, many of which are single source suppliers; and if
these suppliers fail to deliver necessary raw materials, systems, components and parts of appropriate quality in a timely
manner, our operations may be disrupted”.
Developments in China and other growth markets may adversely affect our business.
We operate in a number of growth markets, both directly and through our dealers. We believe we have potential for
further success in new geographies, in particular in China, but also more generally in Asia, recognizing the increasing
personal wealth in these markets. While demand in these markets has increased in recent years due to sustained economic
growth and growth in personal income and wealth, we are unable to foresee the extent to which economic growth  will be
sustained. For example, rising geopolitical tensions and potential slowdowns in the rate of growth there and in other emerging
markets could limit the opportunity for us to increase unit sales and revenues in those regions in the near term.
Our exposure to growth countries is likely to increase, as we pursue expanded sales in such countries. Economic and
political developments in growth markets, including economic crises or political instability, have had and could have in the
future material adverse effects on our results of operations and financial condition. Further, in certain markets in which we or
our dealers operate, required government approvals may limit our ability to act quickly in making decisions on our operations
in those markets. Other government actions may also impact the market for luxury goods in these markets, such as tax
changes or the active discouragement of luxury purchases. Consumer spending habits in these markets may also change due
to other factors that are outside of our control. For instance, since August 2021 the President of the People’s Republic of
China has repeatedly signaled the government’s intention to regulate the spending patterns of individuals and families with
ultra-high incomes and encourage high-income groups and enterprises to return more to society. While no regulatory action
has been taken to date, similar statements by governmental authorities may affect the social acceptability of spending on
luxury goods.
Maintaining and strengthening our position in these growth markets is a relevant component of our global growth
strategy. However, initiatives from several global luxury automotive manufacturers have increased competitive pressures for
luxury cars in several growth markets. As these markets continue to grow, we anticipate that additional competitors, both
international and domestic, will seek to enter these markets and that existing market participants will try to aggressively
protect or increase their market share. Increased competition may result in pricing pressures, reduced margins and our
inability to gain or hold market share, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial
condition. See also “Global economic conditions, pandemics and macro events may adversely affect us”.
We may be adversely affected by the UK’s exit from the European Union (Brexit).
In a June 23, 2016 referendum, the United Kingdom voted to terminate the UK’s membership in the European
Union (“Brexit”). The UK ceased to be a member of the European Union on January 31, 2020. On December 24, 2020, the
European Union and the UK announced that they had reached a new bilateral trade and cooperation agreement governing
their future relationship (the “EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement”) which was formally approved by the European
Council on December 29, 2020 and by the UK parliament on December 30, 2020. The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation
Agreement was subsequently ratified by the European Parliament and entered into force on May 1, 2021.
Under the terms of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, exports of cars between the European Union and
the United Kingdom are exempt from tariffs, to the extent the goods contain a certain quantity of EU or UK inputs, as
applicable. The application of such rules may result in increased costs for us or for our suppliers (which, in turn, they could
seek to transfer to us), and difficulties in the procurement of parts. In addition, the new customs procedures set forth in the
18
EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement may result in increased operational complexity, with full import controls for
goods being imported from the European Union to the United Kingdom expected to be gradually introduced by the United
Kingdom throughout 2022. While the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement provides clarity with respect to the intended
relationship between the European Union and the United Kingdom going forward, uncertainty remains around the details of
such relationship, which remain in progress and could evolve over time, and the full extent of the consequences of Brexit.
Brexit could also negatively impact economic conditions in Europe more generally, which in turn could adversely impact
global economic conditions. In addition, Brexit may contribute to significant volatility in exchange rates. In 2021,
approximately 11 percent of our net revenues were generated in the UK; therefore, any material adverse effect of Brexit on
global or regional economic or market conditions could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition as customers may reduce or delay spending decisions on our products.
Our success depends largely on the ability of our current management team to operate and manage effectively.
Our success depends on the ability of our senior executives and other members of management to effectively
manage our business as a whole and individual areas of the business. Most of our senior executives and employees, including
many highly skilled engineers, technicians and artisans, are required to work from our offices and production facilities in and
around Maranello, Italy. If we were to lose the services of any of these senior executives or key employees, this could have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. We have developed incentive plans aimed
at retaining and incentivizing our senior executives and employees, as well as management succession plans that we believe
are appropriate in the circumstances, although it is difficult to predict with any certainty that we will replace these individuals
with persons of equivalent experience and capabilities. If we are unable to find adequate replacements or to attract, retain and
incentivize senior executives, other key employees or new qualified personnel, our business, results of operations and
financial condition may suffer.
We rely on our dealer network to provide sales and services.
We do not own our Ferrari dealers and virtually all of our sales are made through our network of dealerships located
throughout the world. If our dealers are unable to provide sales or service quality that our clients expect or do not otherwise
adequately project the Ferrari image and its aura of luxury and exclusivity, the Ferrari brand may be negatively affected. We
depend on the quality of our dealership network and our business, operating results and financial condition could be
adversely affected if our dealers suffer financial difficulties or otherwise are unable to perform to our expectations.
Furthermore, we may experience disagreements or disputes in the course of our relationship with our dealers or upon
termination which may lead to financial costs, disruptions and reputational harm.
Our growth strategy also depends on our ability to attract a sufficient number of quality new dealers to sell our
products in new areas. We may face competition from other luxury performance car manufacturers in attracting quality new
dealers, based on, among other things, dealer margin, incentives and the performance of other dealers in the region. If we are
unable to attract a sufficient number of new Ferrari dealers in targeted growth areas, our prospects could be materially
adversely affected.
We depend on our suppliers, many of which are single source suppliers; and if these suppliers fail to deliver necessary raw
materials, systems, components and parts of appropriate quality in a timely manner, our operations may be disrupted.
Our business depends on a significant number of suppliers, which provide the raw materials, components, parts and
systems we require to manufacture cars and parts and to operate our business. We use a variety of raw materials in our
business, including aluminum, and precious metals such as palladium and rhodium. We source materials from a limited
number of suppliers. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain access to these raw materials, and in some cases
this access may be affected by factors outside of our control and the control of our suppliers. In addition, prices for these raw
materials fluctuate and while we seek to manage this exposure, we may not be successful in mitigating these risks.
As with raw materials, we are also at risk of supply disruption and shortages in parts and components we purchase
for use in our cars. We source a variety of key components from third parties, including transmissions, brakes, driving-safety
systems, navigation systems, mechanical, electrical and electronic parts, plastic components as well as castings and tires,
which makes us dependent upon the suppliers of such components. In coming years, we will also require a greater number of
components for hybrid and electric engines as we introduce hybrid and electric technology in our cars, and we expect
producers of these components will be called upon to increase the levels of supply as the shift to hybrid or electric technology
gathers pace in the industry. While we obtain components from multiple sources whenever possible, similar to other small
volume car manufacturers, most of the key components we use in our cars are purchased by us from single source suppliers.
We generally do not qualify alternative sources for most of the single-sourced components we use in our cars and we do not
19
maintain long-term agreements with a number of our suppliers. Furthermore, we have limited ability to monitor the financial
stability of our suppliers.
While we believe that we may be able to establish alternate supply relationships and can obtain or engineer
replacement components for our single-sourced components, we may be unable to do so in the short term, or at all, at prices
or costs that we believe are reasonable. Qualifying alternate suppliers or developing our own replacements for certain highly
customized components of our cars may be time consuming, costly and may force us to make costly modifications to the
designs of our cars. For example, defective airbags manufactured by Takata Corporation (“Takata”), our former principal
supplier of airbags, have led to widespread recalls by several automotive manufacturers starting in 2015, including us (see
further “Car recalls may be costly and may harm our reputation”; see also “Overview of Our Business—Regulatory Matters
—Vehicle safety”). Following the acquisition of Takata by Key Safety Systems (“KSS”) in April 2018, Joyson Safety
Systems, which is the combined company of Takata and KSS following the acquisition, is our principal supplier of the
airbags installed in our cars. Failure by Joyson Safety Systems to continue the supply of airbags may cause significant
disruption to our operations.
In the past, we have replaced certain suppliers because they failed to provide components that met our quality
control standards. The loss of any single or limited source supplier or the disruption in the supply of components from these
suppliers could lead to delays in car deliveries to our clients, which could adversely affect our relationships with our clients
and also materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. The supply of raw materials, parts and
components may also be disrupted or interrupted by natural disasters, or by unexpected fluctuations in market demand and
supply, such as the ongoing global shortage of semiconductors that started in 2021, which is impacting the automotive
industry in particular. If any major disasters occur, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, wars, terrorist attacks,
pandemics or other events, our supply chain may be disrupted, which may stop or delay production and shipment of our cars.
As a result of the current geopolitical tensions and conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the recent recognition by Russia
of the independence of the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, in the Donbas region of Ukraine, the
governments of the United States, the European Union, Japan and other jurisdictions have recently announced the imposition
of sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia and the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, as well as enhanced
export controls on certain products and industries. These and any additional sanctions and export controls, as well as any
counterresponses by the governments of Russia or other jurisdictions, could adversely affect, directly or indirectly, our supply
chain, with negative implications on the availability and prices of raw materials, and our customers, as well as the global
financial markets and financial services industry. See also “We are subject to risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic that
may materially and adversely affect our business” for a discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may affect our supply
chain directly or indirectly.
Changes in our supply chain have in the past resulted and may in the future result in increased costs and delays in
car production. We have also experienced cost increases from certain suppliers in order to meet our quality targets and
development timelines and because of design changes that we have made, and we may experience similar cost increases in
the future. We are negotiating with existing suppliers for cost reductions, seeking new and less expensive suppliers for certain
parts, and attempting to redesign certain parts to make them less expensive to produce. If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to
control and reduce supplier costs while maintaining a stable source of high quality supplies, our operating results will suffer.
Additionally, cost reduction efforts may disrupt our normal production processes, thereby harming the quality or volume of
our production.
Furthermore, if our suppliers fail to provide components in a timely manner or at the level of quality necessary to
manufacture our cars, our clients may face longer waiting periods which could result in negative publicity, harm our
reputation and relationship with clients and have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition.
We depend on our manufacturing facilities in Maranello and Modena.
We assemble all of the cars that we sell and manufacture, and all of the engines we use in our cars and sell to
Maserati, at our production facility in Maranello, Italy, where we also have our corporate headquarters. We manufacture all
of our car chassis in a nearby facility in Modena, Italy. Our Maranello or Modena plants could become unavailable either
permanently or temporarily for a number of reasons, including contamination, power shortage or labor unrest. Alternatively,
changes in law and regulation, including export, tax and employment laws and regulations, or economic conditions, including
wage inflation, could make it uneconomic for us to continue manufacturing our cars in Italy. In the event that we were unable
to continue production at either of these facilities or it became uneconomic for us to continue to do so, we would need to seek
alternative manufacturing arrangements which would take time and reduce our ability to produce sufficient cars to meet
20
demand. Moving manufacturing to other locations may also affect the perception of our brand and car quality among our
clients. Such a transfer would materially reduce our revenues and could require significant investment, which as a result
could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Maranello and Modena are located in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy which has the potential for seismic
activity. For instance, in 2012 a major earthquake struck the region, causing production at our facilities to be temporarily
suspended for one day. If major disasters such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, wars, terrorist attacks, pandemics or
other events occur, our headquarters and production facilities may be seriously damaged, or we may stop or delay production
and shipment of our cars. See also “We are subject to risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic that may materially and
adversely affect our business” for a discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such damage from disasters or unpredictable
events could have a material adverse impact on our business, results from operations and financial condition.
We rely on our licensing and franchising partners to preserve the value of our licenses and the failure to maintain such
partners could harm our business.
We currently have multi-year agreements with licensing partners for various Ferrari-branded products in the sports,
lifestyle and luxury retail segments. We also have multi-year agreements with franchising partners for our Ferrari stores and
theme park. In the future, we may enter into additional licensing or franchising arrangements. Many of the risks associated
with our own products, including risks relating to the image of the Ferrari brand and its aura of exclusivity, as well as to the
demand for luxury goods, also apply to our licensed products and franchised stores. In addition, there are problems that our
licensing or franchising partners may experience, including risks associated with each licensing partner’s ability to obtain
capital, manage its labor relations, maintain relationships with its suppliers, manage its credit and bankruptcy risks, and
maintain client relationships. While we maintain significant control over the products produced for us by our licensing
partners and the franchisees running our Ferrari stores and theme parks, any of the foregoing risks, or the inability of any of
our licensing or franchising partners to execute on the expected design and quality of the licensed products, Ferrari stores and
theme park, or otherwise exercise operational and financial control over its business, may result in loss of revenue and
competitive harm to our operations in the product categories where we have entered into such licensing or franchising
arrangements. While we select our licensing and franchising partners with care, any negative publicity surrounding such
partners could have a negative effect on licensed products, the Ferrari stores and theme parks or the Ferrari brand. Further,
while we believe that we could replace our existing licensing or franchising partners if required, our inability to do so for any
period of time could materially adversely affect our revenues and harm our business.
In connection with our new brand diversification strategy announced in November 2019, we continue to streamline
our existing arrangements with licensing partners and decrease the volume of our licensing business. This may adversely
affect our results from brand activities, particularly in the short to medium term while our broader brand diversification
strategy is carried out.
We depend on the strength of our trademarks and other intellectual property rights.
Given the importance of our brand’s recognition on our financial performance and strategy, we believe that our
trademarks and other intellectual property rights are fundamental to our success and market position. Therefore, our business
depends on our ability to protect and promote our trademarks and other intellectual property rights. Accordingly, we devote
substantial efforts to the establishment and protection of our trademarks and other intellectual property rights such as
registered designs and patents on a worldwide basis. We believe that our trademarks and other intellectual property rights are
adequately supported by applications for registrations, existing registrations and other legal protections in our principal
markets. However, we cannot exclude the possibility that our intellectual property rights may be challenged by others, or that
we may be unable to register our trademarks or otherwise adequately protect them in some jurisdictions, especially in those
foreign countries that do not respect and protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the United States, Japan
and European countries. If a third party were to register our trademarks, or similar trademarks, in a country where we have
not successfully registered such trademarks, it could create a barrier to our commencing trade under those marks in that
country.
We may fail to adequately protect our intellectual and industrial property rights against infringement or misappropriation
by third parties.
Our success and competitive positioning depend on, among other factors, our registered intellectual property rights,
as well as other industrial or intellectual property rights, including confidential know-how, trade secrets, database rights and
copyrights. To protect our intellectual property, we rely on intellectual property laws, agreements for the protection of trade
21
secrets, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, and other contractual means. Such measures, however, may be
inadequate and our intellectual property rights may be infringed or challenged by third parties, and our confidential know-
how or trade secrets could be misappropriated or disclosed to the public without our consent. Consultants, vendors and
current and former employees, for example, could violate their confidentiality obligations and restrictions on the use of
Ferrari’s intellectual property. Ferrari may not be able to prevent such infringements, misappropriations or disclosures, with
potential adverse effects on our brand, reputation and business. In particular, our components may be subject to product
piracy, where our components are counterfeited, which may result in reputational risk for Ferrari. The risks described above
arise particularly in our Brand activities (see “Overview of Our Business—Brand Diversification Strategy”).
If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, this may adversely affect our results of operations
and financial condition, as other manufacturers may be able to manufacture similar products at lower cost, with adverse
effects on our competitive position. In addition, counterfeited products, or products illegally branded as “Ferrari”, may
damage our brand. In addition, we may incur high costs in reacting to infringements or misappropriations of our intellectual
property rights.
Third parties may claim that we infringe their intellectual property rights.
We believe that we hold all the rights required for our business operations (including intellectual property rights and
third-party licenses). However, we are exposed to potential claims from third parties alleging that we infringe their
intellectual property rights, since many competitors and suppliers also submit patent applications for their inventions and
secure patent protection or other intellectual property rights. If we are unsuccessful in defending against any such claim, we
may be required to pay damages or comply with injunctions which may disrupt our operations. We may also as a result be
forced to enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms or to redesign products to comply with third parties’
intellectual property rights.
Our revenues from Formula 1 activities may decline and our related expenses may grow.
Revenues from our Formula 1 activities depend principally on the income from our sponsorship agreements and on
our share of Formula 1 revenues from broadcasting and other sources. See “Overview of Our Business—Formula 1
Activities.” If we are unable to renew our existing sponsorship agreements or if we enter into new or renewed sponsorship
agreements with less favorable terms, our revenues would decline. In addition, our share of profits related to Formula 1
activities may decline if either our team’s performance worsens compared to other competing teams, or if the overall Formula
1 business suffers, including potentially as a result of increasing popularity of the FIA Formula E championship or other
racing events. Furthermore, in order to compete effectively on track we have been investing significant resources in research
and development and to competitively compensate the best available drivers and other racing team members. These expenses
also vary based on changes in Formula 1 regulations that require modification to our racing engines and cars. These expenses
are expected to continue, and may grow further, including as a result of any changes in Formula 1 regulations, which would
negatively affect our results of operations.
On October 31, 2019, the World Council (Formula 1’s legislative body) approved new technical, sporting and
financial rules, following the extensive talks held in the past two years among the owners of the Formula 1 business and all
teams with regards to the arrangements relating to the participation of Ferrari and the other teams competing in the
championship in the period following the 2020 expiration of the previous arrangements between racing teams and the
operator of Formula 1. The new rules provide for, among other things, a new car design, a cap of $142 million in 2022 and
$137 million in 2023 (assuming 23 grand prix races in both years), to be further reduced in subsequent years, for all costs and
expenses covering on-track performance (excluding, among others, the activities to enable the supply of power units,
marketing costs, drivers’ salaries and the top three personnel at each team), limits on car upgrades over race weekends,
restrictions on the number of times that certain components can be replaced during a race and the standardization of certain
parts. While it was originally planned that the new sporting and technical regulations would come into effect in 2021, in
March 2020, Formula 1, FIA and the racing teams agreed to postpone effectiveness of such regulations to 2022 due to the
disruption to the 2020 Formula 1 season caused by COVID-19. The financial regulations (including the budget cap) came
into force on January 1, 2021. Compliance with the final set of rules approved by the World Council requires significant
changes to our racing cars, processes and operations, and the rules may be subject to further changes in the future. If we are
unable to effectively adapt our cars to comply with changes in Formula 1 regulations, our performance at the races may
suffer. These changes may result in adverse effects on our revenues and results of operations. In particular, the new cap on
expenses affects the amount of resources that we are allowed to allocate to Formula 1 activities, with potential adverse effects
on our team’s performance if we are not able to optimize such resources.
22
Engine production revenues are dependent on Maserati’s ability to sell its cars.
We produce V8 and V6 engines for Maserati. We have a multi-year arrangement with Maserati to provide V6
engines through 2023. While Maserati is required to compensate us for certain production costs, in the event that the sales of
Maserati cars decline compared to the contractual requirements of our engine production agreements with Maserati, our
revenues from the sale of engines may be adversely affected.
We face risks associated with our international operations, including unfavorable regulatory, political, tax and labor
conditions and establishing ourselves in new markets, all of which could harm our business.
We currently have international operations and subsidiaries in various countries and jurisdictions in Europe, North
America and Asia that are subject to the legal, political, regulatory, tax and social requirements and economic conditions in
these jurisdictions. Additionally, as part of our growth strategy, we will continue to expand our sales, maintenance, and repair
services internationally. However, such expansion requires us to make significant expenditures, including the establishment
of local operating entities, hiring of local employees and establishing facilities in advance of generating any revenue. We are
subject to a number of risks associated with international business activities that may increase our costs, impact our ability to
sell our cars and require significant management attention. These risks include:
conforming our cars to various international regulatory and safety requirements where our cars are sold, or
homologated;
difficulty in establishing, staffing and managing foreign operations;
difficulties attracting clients in new jurisdictions;
foreign government taxes, regulations and permit requirements, including foreign taxes that we may not be
able to offset against taxes imposed upon us in Italy;
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, including risks related to any interest rate
swap or other hedging activities we undertake;
our ability to enforce our contractual and intellectual property rights, especially in those foreign countries that
do not respect and protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the United States, Japan and
European countries, which increases the risk of unauthorized, and uncompensated, use of our technology;
European Union and foreign government trade restrictions, customs regulations, tariffs and price or exchange
controls;
foreign labor laws, regulations and restrictions;
preferences of foreign nations for domestically produced cars;
changes in diplomatic and trade relationships;
political instability, natural disasters, war or events of terrorism; and
the strength of international economies.
If we fail to successfully address these risks, many of which we cannot control, our business, operating results and
financial condition could be materially harmed.
New laws, regulations, or policies of governmental organizations regarding increased fuel economy requirements,
reduced greenhouse gas or pollutant emissions, or vehicle safety, or changes in existing laws, may have a significant
effect on our costs of operation and/or how we do business.
We are subject throughout the world to comprehensive and constantly evolving laws, regulations and policies. We
expect the extent of the legal and regulatory requirements affecting our business and our costs of compliance to continue to
increase significantly in the future. In Europe and the United States, for example, significant governmental regulation is
driven by environmental, fuel economy, vehicle safety and noise emission concerns. Evolving regulatory requirements could
significantly affect our product development plans and may limit the number and types of cars we sell and where we sell
23
them, which may affect our revenue. Governmental regulations may increase the costs we incur to design, develop and
produce our cars and may affect our product portfolio. Regulation may also result in a change in the character or performance
characteristics of our cars which may render them less appealing to our clients. We anticipate that the number and extent of
these regulations, and their effect on our cost structure and product line-up, will increase significantly in the future.
Current European legislation limits fleet average greenhouse gas emissions for new passenger cars. Due to our small
volume manufacturer (“SVM”) status we benefit from a derogation from the existing emissions requirement and we are
instead required to meet, by 2021, alternative targets for our fleet of EU-registered vehicles. Despite global shipments
exceeding 10,000 vehicles in 2019, Ferrari still qualifies as an SVM under EU regulations, since its total number of registered
vehicles in the EU per year is less than 10,000 vehicles. On July, 14, 2021, the European Commission published a proposal to
amend the EU 2019/631, which, among other things, would repeal from 2030 the derogation granted to SMVs. If the
proposed amendment is confirmed in the final rule, this may have a significant effect on our costs.
Switzerland has historically adopted the targets approved by the European Commission. On November 24, 2021, the
Swiss Federal Council amended the CO2 emission regulations for cars and vans and starting from January 1, 2022 the
vehicles of niche and small volume manufacturers will have to meet the same CO2 emission targets as those of large volume
manufacturers. This change in legislation is expected to result in additional costs for Ferrari, either through penalties or the
purchase of emissions credits from other manufacturers.
In the United States, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (“NHTSA”) have set the federal standards for passenger cars and light trucks to meet certain combined
average greenhouse gas (“GHG”) and fuel economy (“CAFE”) levels and more stringent standards have been prescribed for
model years 2017 through 2025. Since Ferrari is considered to be an SVM under EPA GHG regulations (as it produces less
than 5,000 vehicles per model year for the US market), we expect to benefit from a derogation from currently applicable
standards. We also petitioned the EPA for alternative standards for the model years 2017-2021 and 2022-2025, which are
aligned to our technical and economic capabilities. On June 25, 2020, the EPA Administrator signed the final determination
for alternative GHG standards for SVMs for model years 2017 through 2021 and issued final alternative GHG standards for
us and other SVMs. In September 2016 we petitioned the NHTSA for recognition as an independent manufacturer of less
than 10,000 vehicles produced globally and we proposed alternative CAFE standards for model years 2017, 2018 and 2019.
Then, in December, 2017, we amended the petition by proposing alternative CAFE standards for model years 2016, 2017 and
2018 instead, covering also the 2016 model year. In 2019, our global production exceeded 10,000 vehicles, and therefore we
are no longer considered an SVM by the NHTSA for the model year 2019. We previously purchased the CAFE credits
needed to fulfill this deficit. On July 15, 2020, we submitted to the NHTSA a petition for an exemption from the CAFE
standards for the model year 2020. We proceeded with this submission because, although Ferrari originally intended to
produce more than 10,000 vehicles in 2020, actual production was lower than 10,000 vehicles as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic and the related shutdown of our production facilities. Therefore, since we met the NHTSA definition of SVM, we
have requested an alternative fleet average GHG standard for model year 2020. The NHTSA has confirmed that it will not
send a shortfall letter to Ferrari requiring payment of CAFE civil penalties or the application of CAFE credits with regard to
model year 2020 until the NHTSA has ruled on Ferrari’s petitions for an alternative standard. If our petitions are rejected, we
will not be able to benefit from the more favorable CAFE standard levels which we have petitioned for and this may require
us to purchase additional CAFE credits in order to comply with applicable CAFE standards. In 2021, our global production
exceeded 10,000 vehicles again, and therefore we are no longer considered SVM by the NHTSA for the model year 2021.
We already purchased the CAFE credits needed to fulfill our 2021 deficit. We expect to adopt the same approach in the
coming years.
In the United States, considerable uncertainty is associated with emissions regulations in light of changing policies
under the past and newly appointed administration. New regulations are in the process of being developed, and many existing
and potential regulatory initiatives are subject to review by federal or state agencies or the courts. On March, 31, 2020, the
NHTSA and the EPA issued the final Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule (the “SAFE Vehicles Rule”)
setting CAFE and carbon dioxide emissions standards for model years 2021-2026 passenger cars and light trucks. Under the
SAFE Vehicles Rule, the overall stringency of the federal standards is significantly reduced from the levels previously set:
the final rule will increase stringency of CAFE and CO2 emissions standards by 1.5 percent each year through model year
2026, as compared with the previous standards issued in 2012, which would have required annual increases of approximately
5 percent. In May 2021, the NHTSA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing to fully repeal the regulatory text and
appendices promulgated in the SAFE Vehicles Rule. In August 2021, the EPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking
proposing to strengthen federal GHG emissions standards for passenger cars and light trucks by setting stringent requirements
for reductions from model years 2023-2026. Consistent with the EPA approach, in September 2021, NHTSA published a
24
notice of proposed rulemaking proposing revised fuel economy standards for passenger cars and light trucks for model years
2024-2026. The EPA and the NHTSA did not propose any changes to the regulations regarding SVM status or alternative
standards.
In the state of California (which has been granted special authority under the Clean Air Act to set its own vehicle
emission standards), the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) has enacted regulations under which manufacturers of
vehicles for model years 2012-2025 which are in compliance with the EPA greenhouse gas emissions regulations are also
deemed to be in compliance with California’s greenhouse gas emission regulations (the so-called “deemed to comply”
option). On December 12, 2018 the CARB amended its existing regulations to clarify that the “deemed-to-comply” provision
would not be available for model years 2021-2025 if the EPA standards for those years were altered via an amendment of
federal regulations. On September 19, 2019, the NHTSA and the EPA established the “One National Program” for fuel
economy regulation, announcing the EPA’s decision to withdraw California’s waiver of preemption under the Clean Air Act,
and by affirming the NHTSA’s authority to set nationally applicable regulatory standards under the preemption provisions of
the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). California and other states, along with the cities of Los Angeles and New
York, initiated litigation to challenge this final rule. Several environmental groups have also challenged such final rule.
Ferrari currently avails itself of the “deemed-to-comply” provision to comply with CARB greenhouse gas emissions
regulations. Therefore, depending on future developments, it may be necessary to also petition the CARB for SVM
alternative standards and to increase the number of tests to be performed in order to follow the CARB specific procedures.
In addition, we are subject to legislation relating to the emission of other air pollutants such as, among others, the
EU “Euro 6” standards and Real Driving Emissions (RDE) standards, the “Tier 3” Motor Vehicle Emission and Fuel
Standards issued by the EPA, and the Zero Emission Vehicle regulation in California, which are subject to similar
derogations for SVMs. In March 2020, the European Commission launched a public consultation on its roadmap outlining the
policy options that it could pursue in revising the emission standards for light and heavy duty vehicles (Euro 7). This
initiative is part of the European Green Deal, advocating the European automotive industry’s role as a leader in the global
transition to zero-emission vehicles. More stringent air pollutant emissions standards for combustion engine vehicles are
expected to be set by early 2022.
Depending on the future regulatory developments, the technological solutions required to ensure Euro 7 compliance
may affect customers’ expectations on performance, sound and driving experience. The European Commission is also
expected to assess and evaluate the current noise emissions limits, with the risk of more stringent thresholds.
In relation to the safety legislation framework, in 2016, the NHTSA published guidelines for driver distraction, for
which rulemaking activities have not progressed since early 2017. The costs of compliance associated with these and similar
rulemaking may be substantial.
Other governments around the world, such as those in Canada, South Korea, China and certain Middle Eastern
countries are also creating new policies to address these issues which could be even more stringent than the U.S. or European
requirements. As in the United States and Europe, these government policies if applied to us could significantly affect our
product development plans. In China, for example, Stage IV fuel consumption regulation targeted a national average fuel
consumption of 5.0L/100km by 2020, and the Stage V regulation, issued on December 31, 2019, targets a national average
fuel consumption of 4.0 l/100km by 2025. In addition to the fuel consumption target on the entire fleet, the Chinese
regulation GB 19578-2021 sets specific fuel consumption limits on model types. Currently, this standard is only applicable to
domestic cars, as it is not adopted by the China Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA). If this regulation
were also applied to importers, considering the current Ferrari portfolio, only the plug-in hybrid models would be compliant.
In response to severe air quality issues in Beijing and other major Chinese cities, in 2016 the Chinese government
published a more stringent emissions program (National 6), providing two different levels of stringency effective starting
from 2020. Moreover, several autonomous Chinese regions and municipalities have implemented the requirements of the
National 6 program even ahead of the mandated deadlines. During 2020, the Chinese Vehicle Emission Control Center
(VECC) launched the “Pre-study on Next Stage Emission Standards for Light Duty Vehicles”, an ongoing research project
expected to be finalized in a more stringent emission program in the coming years. Depending on the future regulatory
developments, the technological solutions required to ensure the compliance may affect customers’ expectations on
performance, sound and driving experience.
We have lost our status as an SVM for NHSTA in 2019, because our global production exceeded 10,000 vehicles,
but we have not lost our SVM status for EU CO2 regulations or for EPA GHG regulations in the United States. We could
lose our status as an SVM in the EU, the United States and other countries if we do not continue to meet all of the necessary
25
eligibility criteria under applicable regulations as they evolve, not only in relation to volumes but also in relation to the
conditions of operational independence. In order to meet these criteria we may need to modify our growth plans or other
operations. Furthermore, even if we continue to benefit from derogations as an SVM, we will be subject to alternative
standards that the regulators deem appropriate for our technical and economic capabilities and such alternative standards may
be significantly more stringent than those currently applicable to us.
Under these existing regulations, as well as new or stricter rules or policies, we could be subject to sizable civil
penalties or have to restrict or modify product offerings drastically to remain in compliance. We may have to incur substantial
capital expenditures and research and development expenditures to upgrade products and manufacturing facilities, which
would have an impact on our cost of production and results of operation. For a description of the regulation referred to in the
paragraphs above please see “Overview of Our Business—Regulatory Matters”.
In the future, the advent of self-driving technology may result in regulatory changes that we cannot predict but may
include limitations or bans on human driving in specific areas. In 2020 the European Commission issued its new digital
strategy policies, which represent a priority in the European Commission’s regulatory agenda. Although no regulations have
been issued in this regard, the European Commission has showed a determination to strengthen Europe’s digital sovereignty
and role as a standard setter, with a clear focus on data, technology, and infrastructure.
Similarly, driving bans on combustion engine vehicles could be imposed, particularly in metropolitan areas, as a
result of progress in electric and hybrid technology. On September 23, 2020, the Governor of California issued an executive
order requiring that all in-state sales of new passenger vehicles be zero-emission by 2035. The CARB is developing
regulations to implement such executive order. During 2021, the state of Washington also moved ahead with legislation that
could phase out sales of non-zero-emission vehicles by 2030. In November 2020, the UK Prime Minister, the Transport
Secretary and the Business Secretary announced, in the context of the 10-Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, the
end of the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in the United Kingdom by 2030. This will put the United Kingdom on course to
be the first G7 country to decarbonize cars and vans. Any further similar developments in the future may adversely affect the
demand for our cars and our business.
In September 2017, the Chinese government issued the Administrative Measures on CAFC (Corporate Average Fuel
Consumption) and NEV (New Energy Vehicle) Credits. This regulation establishes mandatory CAFC requirements, while
providing additional flexibilities for SVMs (defined as manufacturers with less than 2,000 units imported in China per year)
that achieve a certain minimum CAFC yearly improvement rate. Following the adoption of the Stage V fuel consumption
regulation, an update to the Administrative Measures on CAFC and NEV credits was published in June 2020. The
Administrative Measures have been extended to 2023. Because our CAFC is expected to exceed the regulatory ceiling, we
will be required to purchase NEV credits. There is no assurance that an adequate market for NEV credits will develop in
China and if we are not able to secure sufficient NEV credits this may adversely affect our business in China.
Several others regulations are also emerging to take into account the non-exhaust emissions such as brake particulate
emissions and the environmental impact of the electric and hybrid vehicles components, with a particular focus on batteries
and waste batteries.
To comply with current and future environmental rules in all markets in which we sell our cars, we may have to
incur substantial capital expenditure and research and development expenditure to upgrade products and manufacturing
facilities, which would have an impact on our cost of production and results of operations.
The introduction of hybrid and electric technology in our cars is costly and its long-term success is uncertain.
We are gradually but rapidly introducing hybrid and electric technology in our cars. In accordance with our strategy,
we believe hybrid and electric technology will be key to providing continuing performance upgrades to our sports car
customers, and will also help us capture the preferences of the urban, affluent GT cars purchasers whom we are increasingly
targeting, while helping us meet increasingly stricter emissions requirements.
In 2021 we launched the 296 GTB, our third production model with Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)
technology, while in 2020 we made the first shipments of the SF90 Stradale, the first series production Ferrari to feature
PHEV architecture, which integrates the internal combustion engine with three electric motors, and the launch of the SF90
Spider, the spider version of the SF90 Stradale and Ferrari’s first plug-in hybrid spider. Additionally, some of our past
models, such as LaFerrari and LaFerrari Aperta, also included hybrid technology. The integration of hybrid and electric
technology more broadly into our car portfolio over time may present challenges and costs. We expect to increase R&D

spending in the medium term particularly on hybrid and electric technology-related projects. Although we expect to price our
hybrid and electric cars appropriately to recoup the investments and expenditures we are making, we cannot be certain that
these expenditures will be fully recovered. In addition, this transformation of our car technology creates risks and
uncertainties such as the impact on driver experience, and the impact on the cars’ residual value over time, both of which may
be met with an unfavorable market reaction. Other manufacturers of luxury sports cars may be more successful in
implementing hybrid and electric technology. In the long-term, although we believe that combustion engines will continue to
be fundamental to the Ferrari driver experience, hybrid and pure electric cars may become the prevalent technology for
performance sports cars thereby displacing combustion engine models. See also “If we are unable to keep up with advances
in high performance car technology, our brand and competitive position may suffer.”
Because hybrid and electric technology is a core component of our strategy, and we expect that a significant portion
of our shipments in the medium term will consist of vehicles that feature hybrid and electric technology, if the introduction of
hybrid and electric cars proves too costly or is unsuccessful in the market, our business and results of operations could be
materially adversely affected.
If our cars do not perform as expected our ability to develop, market and sell our cars could be harmed.
Our cars may contain defects in design and manufacture that may cause them not to perform as expected or that may
require repair. There can be no assurance that we will be able to detect and fix any defects in the cars prior to their sale to
consumers. Our cars may not perform in line with our clients’ evolving expectations or in a manner that equals or exceeds the
performance characteristics of other cars currently available. For example, our newer cars may not have the durability or
longevity of current cars, and may not be as easy to repair as other cars currently on the market. Any product defects or any
other failure of our performance cars to perform as expected could harm our reputation and result in adverse publicity, lost
revenue, delivery delays, product recalls, product liability claims, harm to our brand and reputation, and significant warranty
and other expenses, and could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Car recalls may be costly and may harm our reputation.
We have in the past and we may from time to time in the future be required to recall our products to address
performance, compliance or safety-related issues. We may incur costs for these recalls, including replacement parts and labor
to remove and replace the defective parts. For example, in the course of 2015 and 2016, we issued a series of recalls relating
to defective air bags manufactured by Takata and installed on certain of our models. Also in light of uncertainties in our
ability to recover the recall costs from Takata (which filed for bankruptcy in June 2017 and was later acquired by Key Safety
Systems in April 2018), we recorded a provision regarding this matter in the second quarter of 2016 for an amount of €37
million. This provision has been used over time and amounted to approximately €3 million as of December 31, 2021. For
additional information related to the Takata airbag inflator recalls see “Overview of Our Business—Regulatory Matters—
Vehicle safety”. In addition, regulatory oversight of recalls, particularly in the vehicle safety, has increased recently. Any
product recalls can harm our reputation with clients, particularly if consumers call into question the safety, reliability or
performance of our cars. Any such recalls could harm our reputation and result in adverse publicity, lost revenue, delivery
delays, product liability claims and other expenses, and could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating
results and financial condition.
We may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm our financial condition and liquidity if we are not
able to successfully defend or insure against such claims.
We may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm our business, operating results and financial
condition. The automobile industry experiences significant product liability claims and we have inherent risk of exposure to
claims in the event our cars do not perform as expected or malfunction resulting in personal injury or death. A successful
product liability claim against us could require us to pay a substantial monetary award. Moreover, a product liability claim
could generate substantial negative publicity about our cars and business, adversely affecting our reputation and inhibiting or
preventing commercialization of future cars, which could have a material adverse effect on our brand, business, operating
results and financial condition. While we seek to insure against product liability risks, insurance may be insufficient to protect
against any monetary claims we may face and will not mitigate any reputational harm. Any lawsuit seeking significant
monetary damages may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business and financial condition. We may not be
able to secure additional product liability insurance coverage on commercially acceptable terms or at reasonable costs when
needed, particularly if we face liability for our products and are forced to make a claim under such a policy.
27
We are exposed to risks in connection with product warranties as well as the provision of services.
A number of our contractual and legal requirements oblige us to provide extensive warranties to our clients, dealers
and national distributors. There is a risk that, relative to the guarantees and warranties granted, the calculated product prices
and the provisions for our guarantee and warranty risks have been set or will in the future be set too low. There is also a risk
that we will be required to extend the guarantee or warranty originally granted in certain markets for legal reasons, or provide
services as a courtesy or for reasons of reputation where we are not legally obliged to do so, and for which we will generally
not be able to recover from suppliers or insurers.
Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect us against all potential losses to which we may be subject, which
could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We maintain insurance coverage that we believe is adequate to cover normal risks associated with the operation of
our business. However, there can be no assurance that any claim under our insurance policies will be honored fully or timely,
our insurance coverage will be sufficient in any respect or our insurance premiums will not increase substantially.
Accordingly, to the extent that we suffer loss or damage that is not covered by insurance or which exceeds our insurance
coverage, or have to pay higher insurance premiums, our financial condition may be affected. 
Improper conduct of employees, agents, or other representatives could adversely affect our reputation and our business,
operating results, and financial condition.
Our compliance controls, policies, and procedures may not in every instance protect us from acts committed by our
employees, agents, contractors, or collaborators that would violate the laws or regulations of the jurisdictions in which we
operate, including employment, foreign corrupt practices, environmental, competition, and other laws and regulations. Such
improper actions could subject us to civil or criminal investigations, and monetary and injunctive penalties. In particular, our
business activities may be subject to anticorruption laws, regulations or rules of other countries in which we operate. If we
fail to comply with any of these regulations, it could adversely impact our operating results and our financial condition. In
addition, actual or alleged violations could damage our reputation and our ability to conduct business. Furthermore, detecting,
investigating, and resolving any actual or alleged violation is expensive and can consume significant time and attention of our
executive management.
A disruption in our information technology, including as a result of cybercrimes, could compromise confidential and
sensitive information.
We depend on our information technology and data processing systems to operate our business, and a significant
malfunction or disruption in the operation of our systems, human error, interruption to power supply, or a security breach that
compromises the confidential and sensitive information stored in those systems, could disrupt our business and adversely
impact our ability to compete. Our ability to keep our business operating effectively depends on the functional and efficient
operation by us and our third party service providers of our information, data processing and telecommunications systems,
including our car design, manufacturing, inventory tracking and billing and payment systems. We rely on these systems to
enable a number of business processes and help us make a variety of day-to-day business decisions as well as to track
transactions, billings, payments and inventory. Such systems are susceptible to malfunctions and interruptions due to
equipment damage, power outages, and a range of other hardware, software and network problems. Those systems are also
susceptible to cybercrime, or threats of intentional disruption, which are increasing in terms of sophistication and frequency,
with the consequence that such cyber incidents may remain undetected for long periods of time. For any of these reasons, we
may experience system malfunctions or interruptions. Although our systems are diversified, including multiple server
locations and a range of software applications for different regions and functions, and we periodically assess and implement
actions to ameliorate risks to our systems, a significant or large scale malfunction or interruption of our systems could
adversely affect our ability to manage and keep our operations running efficiently, and damage our reputation if we are
unable to track transactions and deliver products to our dealers and clients. A malfunction that results in a wider or sustained
disruption to our business could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition to supporting our operations, we use our systems to collect and store confidential and sensitive data, including
information about our business, our clients and our employees.
As our technology continues to evolve, we anticipate that we will collect and store even more data in the future, and
that our systems will increasingly use remote communication features that are sensitive to both willful and unintentional
security breaches. Much of our value is derived from our confidential business information, including car design, proprietary
technology and trade secrets, and to the extent the confidentiality of such information is compromised, we may lose our
28
competitive advantage and our car sales may suffer. We also collect, retain and use certain personal information, including
data we gather from clients for product development and marketing purposes, and data we obtain from employees. Therefore
we are subject to a variety of ever-changing data protection and privacy laws on a global basis, including the EU General
Data Protection Regulation, which came into force on May 25, 2018. To an increasing extent, the functionality and controls
of our cars depend on in-vehicle information technology. The increased demand for a “connected car” has led to increased
digitization of car systems, the wide application of software, and the creation of new, fully digital mobility services. Such
technology is capable of transmitting and storing an increasing amount of personal information belonging to our customers.
Any unauthorized access to in-vehicle IT systems may compromise the car security or the privacy of our customers’
information and expose us to claims as well as reputational damage. Ultimately, any significant compromise in the integrity
of our data security could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our indebtedness could adversely affect our operations and we may face difficulties in servicing or refinancing our debt.
As of December 31, 2021, our gross consolidated debt was approximately €2,630 million (which includes our
financial services). See “Financial Overview—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Net Debt
and Net Industrial Debt” for additional information. Our current and long-term debt requires us to dedicate a portion of our
cash flow to service interest and principal payments and, if interest rates rise, this amount may increase. In addition, our
existing debt may limit our ability to raise further capital or incur additional indebtedness to execute our growth strategy or
otherwise may place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to competitors that have less debt. To the extent we become
more leveraged, the risks described above would increase. We may also have difficulty refinancing our existing debt or
incurring new debt on terms that we would consider to be commercially reasonable, if at all.
Car sales depend in part on the availability of affordable financing.
In certain regions, financing for new car sales has been available at relatively low interest rates for several years due
to, among other things, expansive government monetary policies. To the extent that interest rates may rise generally based on
governmental monetary policies or actions of central banks, market rates for new car financing are expected to rise as well,
which may make our cars less affordable to clients or cause consumers to purchase less expensive cars, adversely affecting
our results of operations and financial condition. Following widespread indications of returning inflation in several major
economies, central banks are signaling that interest rate increases may be expected in coming periods. Additionally, if
consumer interest rates increase substantially or if financial service providers tighten lending standards or restrict their
lending to certain classes of credit, our clients may choose not to, or may not be able to, obtain financing to purchase our cars.
We may not be able to provide adequate access to financing for our dealers and clients, and our financial services
operations may be disrupted.
Our dealers enter into wholesale financing arrangements to purchase cars from us to hold in inventory or to use in
showrooms and facilitate retail sales, and retail clients use a variety of finance and lease programs to acquire cars.
In most markets, we rely either on controlled or associated finance companies or on commercial relationships with
third parties, including third party financial institutions, to provide financing to our dealers and retail clients. Finance
companies are subject to various risks that could negatively affect their ability to provide financing services at competitive
rates, including:
the performance of loans and leases in their portfolio, which could be materially affected by delinquencies or
defaults;
higher than expected car return rates and the residual value performance of cars they lease; and
fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates.
Furthermore, to help fund our retail and wholesale financing business, our financial services companies in the
United States also access forms of funding available from the banking system in each market, including sales or securitization
of receivables either in negotiated sales or through asset-backed financing programs. At December 31, 2021, an amount of
$1,020 million was outstanding under revolving securitizations carried out by Ferrari Financial Services Inc. See “Financial
Overview—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Net Debt and Net Industrial Debt” for
additional information. Should we lose the ability to access the securitization market at advantageous terms or at all, the
29
funding of our controlled or associated finance companies would become more difficult and expensive and our financial
condition may therefore be adversely affected.
Any financial services provider, including our controlled finance companies, will face other demands on its capital,
as well as liquidity issues relating to other investments or to developments in the credit markets. Furthermore, they may be
subject to regulatory changes that may increase their costs, which may impair their ability to provide competitive financing
products to our dealers and retail clients. To the extent that a financial services provider is unable or unwilling to provide
sufficient financing at competitive rates to our dealers and retail clients, such dealers and retail clients may not have sufficient
access to financing to purchase or lease our cars. As a result, our car sales and market share may suffer, which would
adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our dealer and retail customer financing in Europe are mainly provided through our partnership with FCA Bank
S.p.A. (“FCA Bank”), a joint venture between FCA Italy S.p.A. and Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance S.A. (“CACF”). If
we fail to maintain our partnership with FCA Bank or in the event of a termination of the joint venture or change of control of
one of our joint venture partners, we may not be able to find a suitable alternative partner with similar resources and
experience and continue to offer financing services to support the sales of Ferrari cars in key European markets, which could
adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In December 2021, Stellantis N.V. (hereinafter also
“Stellantis” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Stellantis Group”) communicated its intention to create a leading
operational leasing group and enhanced captive finance arm. As part of the proposed transaction, CACF is expected to
acquire the 50 percent stake in FCA Bank currently owned by Stellantis. We will continue to monitor future developments in
this area and evaluate any potential impacts on our partnership with FCA Bank.
Labor laws and collective bargaining agreements with our labor unions could impact our ability to operate efficiently.
All of our production employees are represented by trade unions, are covered by collective bargaining agreements
and/or are protected by applicable labor relations regulations that may restrict our ability to modify operations and reduce
costs quickly in response to changes in market conditions. These regulations and the provisions in our collective bargaining
agreements may impede our ability to restructure our business successfully to compete more efficiently and effectively,
especially with those automakers whose employees are not represented by trade unions or are subject to less stringent
regulations, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to risks associated with exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate changes, credit risk and other market
risks.
We operate in numerous markets worldwide and are exposed to market risks stemming from fluctuations in currency
and interest rates. In particular, changes in exchange rates between the Euro and the main foreign currencies in which we
operate affect our revenues and results of operations. For other risks related to a rise in interest rates, see also “Our
indebtedness could adversely affect our operations and we may face difficulties in servicing or refinancing our debt” and
“Car sales depend in part on the availability of affordable financing”. The exposure to currency risk is mainly linked to the
differences in geographic distribution of our sourcing and manufacturing activities from those in our commercial activities, as
a result of which our cash flows from sales are denominated in currencies different from those connected to purchases or
production activities. For example, we incur a large portion of our capital and operating expenses in Euro while we receive
the majority of our revenues in currencies other than Euro. In addition, foreign exchange movements might also negatively
affect the relative purchasing power of our clients which could also have an adverse effect on our results of operations. For
example, the U.S. Dollar remained relatively stable during the first half of 2021 and appreciated against the Euro during the
second half of 2021, while the pound sterling appreciated against the Euro throughout the year 2021. No significant adverse
movements in foreign exchange rates have occurred in early 2022. If the U.S. Dollar or some other currencies were to
depreciate against the Euro, we expect that it would adversely impact our revenues and results of operations. The extent of
adverse impacts from exchange rate fluctuations could increase if the portion of our business in countries outside of Eurozone
increases. See “Financial Overview—Trends, Uncertainties and Opportunities”.
We seek to manage risks associated with fluctuations in currency through financial hedging instruments. Although
we seek to manage our foreign currency risk in order to minimize any negative effects caused by rate fluctuations, including
through hedging activities, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so successfully, and our business, results of
operations and financial condition could nevertheless be adversely affected by fluctuations in market rates, particularly if
these conditions persist.
30
Our financial services activities are also subject to the risk of insolvency of dealers and retail clients, as well as
unfavorable economic conditions in markets where these activities are carried out. Despite our efforts to mitigate such risks
through the credit approval policies applied to dealers and retail clients, there can be no assurances that we will be able to
successfully mitigate such risks, particularly with respect to a general change in economic conditions.
Changes in tax, tariff or fiscal policies could adversely affect demand for our products.
Imposition of any additional taxes and levies designed to limit the use of automobiles could adversely affect the
demand for our vehicles and our results of operations. Changes in corporate and other taxation policies as well as changes in
export and other incentives given by various governments, or import or tariff policies, could also adversely affect our results
of operations. The impact of any such tariffs on our operations and results is uncertain and could be significant, and we can
provide no assurance that any strategies we implement to mitigate the impact of such tariffs or other trade actions will be
successful. While we are managing our product development and production operations on a global basis to reduce costs and
lead times, unique national or regional standards can result in additional costs for product development, testing and
manufacturing. Governments often require the implementation of new requirements during the middle of a product cycle,
which can be substantially more expensive than accommodating these requirements during the design phase of a new
product. The imposition of any additional taxes and levies or change in government policy designed to limit the use of high
performance sports cars or automobiles more generally, or any decisions by policymakers to implement taxes on luxury
automobiles, could also adversely affect the demand for our cars. The occurrence of the above may have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If we were to lose our Authorized Economic Operator certificate, we may be required to modify our current business
practices and to incur increased costs, as well as experience shipment delays.
Because we ship and sell our cars in numerous countries, the customs regulations of various jurisdictions are
important to our business and operations. To expedite customs procedure, we obtained the European Union’s Authorized
Economic Operator (AEO) certificate. The AEO certificate is granted to operators that meet certain requirements regarding
supply chain security and the safety and compliance with law of the operator’s customs controls and procedures. Operators
are audited periodically for continued compliance with the requirements. The AEO certificate allows us to benefit from
special expedited customs treatment, which significantly facilitates the shipment of our cars in the various markets where we
operate. If we were to lose the AEO status, including for failure to meet one of the certification’s requirements, we would be
required to change our business practices and to adopt standard customs procedures for the shipment of our cars. This could
result in increased costs and shipment delays, which, in turn, could negatively affect our results of operations.
31
Risks Related to our Common Shares
The market price and trading volume of our common shares may be volatile, which could result in rapid and substantial
losses for our shareholders.
The market price of our common shares may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. In
addition, the trading volume of our common shares may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the
market price of our common shares declines significantly, a shareholder may be unable to sell their common shares at or
above their purchase price, if at all. The market price of our common shares may fluctuate or decline significantly in the
future. Some of the factors that could negatively affect the price of our common shares, or result in fluctuations in the price or
trading volume of our common shares, include:
variations in our operating results, or failure to meet the market’s earnings expectations;
publication of research reports about us, the automotive industry or the luxury industry, or the failure of
securities analysts to cover our common shares;
departures of any members of our management team or additions or departures of other key personnel;
adverse market reaction to any indebtedness we may incur or securities we may issue in the future;
actions by shareholders;
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
changes or proposed changes in laws or regulations, or differing interpretations thereof, affecting our
business, or enforcement of these laws and regulations, or announcements relating to these matters;
adverse publicity about the automotive industry or the luxury industry generally, or particularly scandals
relating to those industries, specifically;
litigation and governmental investigations; and
general market and economic conditions.
The loyalty voting program may affect the liquidity of our common shares and reduce our common share price.
The implementation of our loyalty voting program could reduce the trading liquidity and adversely affect the trading
prices of our common shares. The loyalty voting program is intended to reward our shareholders for maintaining long-term
share ownership by granting initial shareholders and persons holding our common shares continuously for at least three years
the option to elect to receive special voting shares. Special voting shares cannot be traded and, if common shares participating
in the loyalty voting program are sold they must be deregistered from the loyalty register and any corresponding special
voting shares transferred to us for no consideration (om niet). This loyalty voting program is designed to encourage a stable
shareholder base and, conversely, it may deter trading by shareholders that may be interested in participating in our loyalty
voting program. Therefore, the loyalty voting program may reduce liquidity in our common shares and adversely affect their
trading price.
The interests of our largest shareholders may differ from the interests of other shareholders.
Exor N.V. (“Exor”) is our largest shareholder, holding approximately 24.21 percent of our outstanding common
shares and approximately 36.00 percent of our voting power (as of February 14, 2022). Therefore, Exor has a significant
influence over these matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders, including matters such as adoption of the annual
financial statements, declarations of annual dividends, the election and removal of the members of our board of directors (the
“Board of Directors”), capital increases and amendments to our articles of association. In addition, as of February 14, 2022,
Piero Ferrari, the Vice Chairman of Ferrari, holds approximately 10.30 percent of our outstanding common shares and
approximately 15.31 percent of voting interest in us (as of February 14, 2022). The percentages of ownership and voting
power above are calculated based on the number of outstanding shares net of treasury shares. As a result, Piero Ferrari also
has influence in matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders. Exor and Piero Ferrari informed us that they have entered
into a shareholder agreement pursuant to which they have undertaken to consult for the purpose of forming, where possible, a
32
common view on the items on the agenda of shareholders meetings. See “Major Shareholders—Shareholders’ Agreement”.
The interests of Exor and Piero Ferrari may in certain cases differ from those of other shareholders. In addition, the sale of
substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market by Piero Ferrari or the perception that such a sale could occur
could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the common shares.
We may have potential conflicts of interest with Stellantis and Exor and its related companies.
Questions relating to conflicts of interest may arise between us and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V., our former
largest shareholder, renamed Stellantis N.V., in a number of areas relating to common shareholdings and management, as
well as our past and ongoing relationships. There are certain overlaps among the directors and officers of us and Stellantis.
For example, Mr. John Elkann, our Executive Chairman, is the Chairman and an executive director of Stellantis and
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Exor. Certain of our other directors and officers may also be directors or officers of
Stellantis or Exor, our and Stellantis’s largest shareholder. These individuals owe duties both to us and to the other companies
that they serve as officers and/or directors, which may create conflicts as, for example, these individuals review opportunities
that may be appropriate or suitable for both us and such other companies, or we pursue business transactions in which both
we and such other companies have an interest, such as our arrangement to supply engines for Maserati cars. Exor holds
approximately 24.21 percent of our outstanding common shares and approximately 36.00 percent of the voting power in us
(as of February 14, 2022), while it holds approximately 14.4 percent of the outstanding common shares in Stellantis (based on
SEC filings). The percentages of ownership and voting power above are calculated based on the number of outstanding
shares net of treasury shares. Exor also owns a controlling interest in CNH Industrial N.V., which was part of the former Fiat
Group before its spin-off several years ago. These ownership interests could create actual, perceived or potential conflicts of
interest when these parties or our common directors and officers are faced with decisions that could have different
implications for us and Stellantis or Exor, as applicable.
Our loyalty voting program may make it more difficult for shareholders to acquire a controlling interest in Ferrari,
change our management or strategy or otherwise exercise influence over us, which may affect the market price of our
common shares.
The provisions of our articles of association which establish the loyalty voting program may make it more difficult
for a third party to acquire, or attempt to acquire, control of our company, even if a change of control were considered
favorably by shareholders holding a majority of our common shares. As a result of the loyalty voting program, a relatively
large proportion of the voting power of Ferrari could be concentrated in a relatively small number of shareholders who would
have significant influence over us. As of February 14, 2022, Exor had approximately 24.21 percent of our outstanding
common shares and a voting interest in Ferrari of approximately 36.00 percent. As of February 14, 2022, Piero Ferrari held
approximately 10.30 percent of our outstanding common shares and, as a result of the loyalty voting mechanism, had
approximately 15.31 percent of the voting power in our shares. The percentages of ownership and voting power above are
calculated based on the number of outstanding shares net of treasury shares. In addition, Exor and Piero Ferrari informed us
that they have entered into a shareholder agreement, summarized under “Major Shareholders—Shareholders Agreement”.
As a result, Exor and Piero Ferrari may exercise significant influence on matters involving our shareholders. Exor and Piero
Ferrari and other shareholders participating in the loyalty voting program may have the power effectively to prevent or delay
change of control or other transactions that may otherwise benefit our shareholders. The loyalty voting program may also
prevent or discourage shareholder initiatives aimed at changing Ferrari’s management or strategy or otherwise exerting
influence over Ferrari. See “Corporate Governance—Loyalty Voting Structure”.
We are a Dutch public company with limited liability, and our shareholders may have rights different to those of
shareholders of companies organized in the United States.
The rights of our shareholders may be different from the rights of shareholders governed by the laws of U.S.
jurisdictions. We are a Dutch public company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap). Our corporate affairs are
governed by our articles of association and by the laws governing companies incorporated in the Netherlands. The rights of
our shareholders and the responsibilities of members of our Board of Directors may be different from the rights of
shareholders and the responsibilities of members of board of directors in companies governed by the laws of other
jurisdictions including the United States. In the performance of its duties, our Board of Directors is required by Dutch law to
consider our interests and the interests of our shareholders, our employees and other stakeholders, in all cases with due
observation of the principles of reasonableness and fairness. It is possible that some of these parties will have interests that
are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder.
33
We expect to maintain our status as a “foreign private issuer” under the rules and regulations of the SEC and, thus, are
exempt from a number of rules under the Exchange Act of 1934 and are permitted to file less information with the SEC
than a company incorporated in the United States.
As a “foreign private issuer,” we are exempt from rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”) that impose certain disclosure and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the
Exchange Act. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing”
profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their
purchases and sales of our common shares. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements
with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, nor are
we required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material information. Accordingly,
there may be less publicly available information concerning us than there is for U.S. public companies.
Our ability to pay dividends on our common shares may be limited and the level of future dividends is subject to change.
Our payment of dividends on our common shares in the future will be subject to business conditions, financial
conditions, earnings, cash balances, commitments, strategic plans and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem
relevant at the time it recommends approval of the dividend. Our dividend policy is subject to change in the future based on
changes in statutory requirements, market trends, strategic developments, capital requirements and a number of other factors.
In addition, under our articles of association and Dutch law, dividends may be declared on our common shares only if the
amount of equity exceeds the paid up and called up capital plus the reserves that have to be maintained pursuant to Dutch law
or the articles of association. Further, even if we are permitted under our articles of association and Dutch law to pay cash
dividends on our common shares, we may not have sufficient cash to pay dividends in cash on our common shares. We are a
holding company and our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to pay dividends
primarily depends on the ability of our subsidiaries, particularly Ferrari S.p.A., to generate earnings and to provide us with
the necessary financial resources.
Our maintenance of two exchange listings may adversely affect liquidity in the market for our common shares and could
result in pricing differentials of our common shares between the two exchanges.
Our shares are listed on both the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the Euronext Milan. The dual listing of
our common shares may split trading between the NYSE and the Euronext Milan, adversely affect the liquidity of the shares
and the development of an active trading market for our common shares in one or both markets and may result in price
differentials between the exchanges. Differences in the trading schedules, as well as volatility in the exchange rate of the two
trading currencies, among other factors, may result in different trading prices for our common shares on the two exchanges.
It may be difficult to enforce U.S. judgments against us.
We are organized under the laws of the Netherlands, and a substantial portion of our assets are outside of the United
States. Most of our directors and senior management and our independent auditors are resident outside the United States, and
all or a substantial portion of their respective assets may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult
for U.S. investors to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. It may also be difficult for U.S.
investors to enforce within the United States judgments against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the
securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts outside the
United States would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors and officers
predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. Therefore, it may
be difficult to enforce U.S. judgments against us, our directors and officers and our independent auditors.
Stellantis creditors may seek to hold us liable for certain Stellantis obligations.
One step of our Separation (see “Overview—History of the Company”) from FCA (references to “FCA” or “FCA
Group” refer to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V., together with its subsidiaries, prior to the merger between FCA and Peugeot
S.A. completed on January 16, 2021, which resulted in the creation of Stellantis N.V.) included a demerger from FCA of our
common shares previously held by it. In connection with a demerger under Dutch law, the demerged company may continue
to be liable for certain obligations of the demerging company that exist at the time of the demerger, but only to the extent that
the demerging company fails to satisfy such liabilities. Based on other actions taken as part of the Separation, we do not
believe we retain any liability for obligations of FCA, now Stellantis, existing at the time of the Separation. Nevertheless, in
the event that Stellantis fails to satisfy obligations to its creditors existing at the time of the demerger, it is possible that those
34
creditors may seek to recover from us, claiming that we remain liable to satisfy such obligations. While we believe we would
prevail against any such claim, litigation is inherently costly and uncertain and could have an adverse effect. See “Overview—
History of the Company”.

Changes to taxation or the interpretation or application of tax laws could have an adverse impact on our results of
operations and financial condition.
Our business is subject to various taxes in different jurisdictions (mainly Italy), which include, among others, the
Italian corporate income tax (“IRES”), regional trade tax (“IRAP”), value added tax (“VAT”), excise duty, registration tax
and other indirect taxes. We are exposed to the risk that our overall tax burden may increase in the future.
Changes in tax laws or regulations or in the position of the relevant Italian and non-Italian authorities regarding the
application, administration or interpretation of these laws or regulations, particularly if applied retrospectively, could have
negative effects on our current business model and have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and
financial condition.
In order to reduce future potential disputes with tax authorities, we seek advance agreements with tax authorities on
significant matters. In particular we filed a ruling application for advance pricing agreement (APA) on transfer pricing.
In addition, tax laws are complex and subject to subjective valuations and interpretive decisions, and we will
periodically be subject to tax audits aimed at assessing our compliance with direct and indirect taxes. The tax authorities may
not agree with our interpretations of, or the positions we have taken or intend to take on, tax laws applicable to our ordinary
activities and extraordinary transactions. In case of challenges by the tax authorities to our interpretations, we could face long
tax proceedings that could result in the payment of penalties and have a material adverse effect on our operating results,
business and financial condition.
On October 8, 2021, an agreement was reached between 136 countries for a two-pillar approach to international tax
reform (the “OECD Agreement”). Amongst other things, Pillar One proposes a reallocation of a proportion of tax to market
jurisdictions, while Pillar Two seeks to apply a global minimum effective tax rate of 15 percent starting from 2023. The
OECD Agreement is likely to determine changes in corporate tax rates in a number of countries in the coming years. The
impact of changes in corporate tax rates on the measurement of tax assets and liabilities depends on the nature and timing of
the legislative changes in each country, which are subject to uncertainty. Additionally, there are expected changes on the
horizon with respect to US tax reforms. At this time, it is expected that these changes will be substantively enacted in 2022.
There was no impact on current or deferred taxes in 2021 in relation to these potential tax changes and management will
continue to monitor developments in the related tax legislation going forward.
As a result of the demergers and the merger in connection with the Separation, we might be jointly and severally liable
with FCA for certain tax liabilities arisen in the hands of FCA.
Although the Italian tax authorities confirmed in a positive advance tax ruling issued on October 9, 2015 that the
demergers and the Merger that was carried out in connection with the Separation would be respected as tax-free, neutral
transactions from an Italian income tax perspective, under Italian tax law we may still be held jointly and severally liable, as a
result of the combined application of the rules governing the allocation of tax liabilities in case of demergers and mergers,
with FCA for taxes, penalties, interest and any other tax liability arising in the actions of FCA because of violations of its tax
obligations related to tax years prior to the two Demergers described in the section “Overview—History of the Company”.
There may be potential “Passive Foreign Investment Company” tax considerations for U.S. holders.
Shares of our stock would be stock of a “passive foreign investment company,” or a PFIC, for U.S. federal income
tax purposes with respect to a U.S. holder if for any taxable year in which such U.S. holder held shares of our stock, after the
application of applicable “look-through rules” (i) 75 percent or more of our gross income for the taxable year consists of
“passive income” (including dividends, interest, gains from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and
royalties other than rents and royalties which are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a
trade or business, as defined in applicable Treasury Regulations), or (ii) at least 50 percent of our assets for the taxable year
(averaged over the year and determined based upon value) produce or are held for the production of “passive income”. U.S.
persons who own shares of a PFIC are subject to a disadvantageous U.S. federal income tax regime with respect to the
35
income derived by the PFIC, the dividends they receive from the PFIC, and the gain, if any, they derive from the sale or other
disposition of their shares in the PFIC.
While we believe that shares of our stock are not stock of a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, this
conclusion is based on a factual determination made annually and thus is subject to change. Moreover, our common shares
may become stock of a PFIC in future taxable years if there were to be changes in our assets, income or operations.
The consequences of the loyalty voting program are uncertain.
No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly discusses how the receipt, ownership, or disposition of
special voting shares should be treated for Italian or U.S. tax purposes and as a result, the tax consequences in those
jurisdictions are uncertain.
The fair market value of the special voting shares, which may be relevant to the tax consequences, is a factual
determination and is not governed by any guidance that directly addresses such a situation. Because, among other things, our
special voting shares are not transferable (other than, in very limited circumstances, together with the associated common
shares) and a shareholder will receive amounts in respect of the special voting shares only if we are liquidated, we believe
and intend to take the position that the fair market value of each special voting share is minimal. However, the relevant tax
authorities could assert that the value of the special voting shares as determined by us is incorrect.
The tax treatment of the loyalty voting program is unclear and shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors in
respect of the consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of special voting shares.
We currently benefit or seek to benefit from certain special tax regimes, which may not be available in the future.
Italian Law no. 190/2014, as subsequently amended and supplemented, introduced an optional Patent Box regime in
the Italian tax system. The Patent Box regime is a tax exemption related to, inter alia, the use of intellectual property assets.
Business income derived from the use of each qualified intangible asset is partially exempted from taxation for both IRES
and IRAP purposes. We are currently applying the Patent Box tax regime for the period from 2020 to 2024, in line with
applicable tax regulations in Italy. Law Decree No. 146 as amended by the 2022 Italian budget law, replaced the former
Patent Box regime (which allowed taxpayers to exempt from corporate income tax (IRES) and regional income tax (IRAP)
up to 50% of their income derived from the direct or indirect exploitation of intangibles) with a 110% “super tax deduction”
for R&D expenses related to eligible intangible assets. The decree provides for a specific transitional procedure between the
two regimes. The amount of the related tax benefits (if any) that the Group may receive from the Patent Box or other tax
regimes remains subject to uncertainty.
Furthermore, we currently calculate taxes due in Italy based, among other things, on certain tax breaks recognized
by Italian tax regulations for R&D expenses and for the investments on manufacturing equipment, which result in a tax
saving.
In addition, we benefit from the measures introduced in Italy by art. 110 of Law Decree no. 104/2020, converted
into Law no.126/2020, which re-opened the voluntary step up of tangible and intangible assets, with the application of a
three-percent substitutive tax rate. The 2022 budget law introduced some retroactive changes to the step-up regime. In
particular, the 2022 budget law provides for an extension from 18 years to 50 years of the amortization period for tax
purposes for any trademarks and goodwill that benefited from the step-up regime. The modification even if reduces our
annual financial benefit does not affect the overall positive impact of the incentive.
These measures continue to mitigate the tax burden in Italy. Significant changes in regulations or interpretation
might adversely affect the availability of such exemptions and result in higher tax charges. See also “Changes to taxation or
the interpretation or application of tax laws could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial
condition.”

Overview
Ferrari is among the world’s leading luxury brands, focused on the design, engineering, production and sale of the
world’s most recognizable luxury performance sports cars. Our brand symbolizes exclusivity, innovation, state-of-the-art
sporting performance and Italian design and engineering heritage. Our name and history and the image enjoyed by our cars
are closely associated with our Formula 1 racing team, Scuderia Ferrari, the most successful racing team in the history of 
Formula 1. From the inaugural year of Formula 1 in 1950 through the present, Scuderia Ferrari has won 238 Grand Prix
races, 16 Constructors’ World titles and 15 Drivers’ World titles. We are the only team which has taken part in all the
editions of the Championship, racing in more than 1,000 Formula 1 Grand Prix races. We believe our history of excellence,
technological innovation and defining style transcends the automotive industry, and is the foundation of the Ferrari brand and
image. We design, engineer and produce our cars in Maranello, Italy, and sell them in over 60 markets worldwide through a
network of 172 authorized dealers operating 191 points of sale as of the end of 2021.
We believe our cars are the epitome of performance, luxury and styling. Our product offering comprises four main
pillars: the sports range, the GT range, special series and Icona, a line of modern cars inspired by our iconic cars of the past.
Our current product range (including cars presented in 2021, for which shipments will commence in future years) is
comprised of six sports cars (the 812 GTS, the Ferrari F8 Tributo, the Ferrari F8 Spider, the 296 GTB, the SF90 Stradale and
the SF90 Spider), two GT cars (the Ferrari Roma and the Ferrari Portofino M), two special series cars (the 812 Competizione
and the 812 Competizione A), two versions of our first Icona model, the Ferrari Monza SP1 and the Ferrari Monza SP2, as
well as the recently presented new model in the Icona range, the Ferrari Daytona SP3.
In 2021 we completed the shipments of the 812 Superfast, while the shipments of the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2
will be completed in the first quarter of 2022. We also produce limited edition hypercars and one-off cars. Our most recent
hypercar, the LaFerrari Aperta, was launched in 2016 to celebrate our 70th Anniversary and finished its limited series run in
2018. In 2021, we launched 4 new models, including the 296 GTB, a new PHEV featuring a new V6 engine, the limited
series V12 812 Competizione and 812 Competizione A, and the new Icona series model, the Ferrari Daytona SP3, and we
have launched 13 models in accordance with our plan to launch 15 new models by 2022 as announced at our 2018 Capital
Markets Day.
In 2021, we shipped 11,155 cars and recorded net revenues of €4,271 million, EBIT of €1,075 million, net profit of
€833 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of €1,531 million. For additional
information regarding EBITDA, including a reconciliation of EBITDA to net profit, as well as other non-GAAP financial
measures we present, see “Financial Overview—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.
Whilst broadening our product portfolio to target a larger customer base, we continue to pursue a low volume
production strategy in order to maintain a reputation for exclusivity and scarcity among purchasers of our cars and we
carefully manage our production volumes and delivery waiting lists to promote this reputation. We divide our regional
markets into (i) EMEA, (ii) Americas, (iii) Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and (iv) Rest of APAC, which
represented respectively 49.2 percent, 25.4 percent, 8.1 percent and 17.3 percent of units shipped in 2021. The geographical
distribution of shipments reflects deliberate allocations driven by the phase-in pace of individual models.
History of the Company
Ferrari was incorporated as a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) under the laws of the
Netherlands on September 4, 2015 with an indefinite duration. Our official seat (statutaire zetel) is in Amsterdam, the
Netherlands, and our corporate address and principal place of business are located at Via Abetone Inferiore n. 4, I-41053
Maranello (MO), Italy. Ferrari is registered with the Dutch Trade Register of the Chamber of Commerce under number
64060977. Its telephone number is +39-0536-949111. The name and address of the Company’s agent in the United States is:
Ferrari North America, Inc., 250 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. Its telephone number is +1 (201) 816 2600.
Our company is named after our founder Enzo Ferrari. An Alfa Romeo driver since 1924, Enzo Ferrari founded his
own racing team, Scuderia Ferrari, in Modena in 1929 initially to race Alfa Romeo cars. In 1939 he set up his own company,
initially called Auto Avio Costruzioni. In late 1943, Enzo Ferrari moved his headquarters from Modena to Maranello, which
remains our headquarters to this day.
37
In 1947, we produced our first racing car, the 125 S. The 125 S’s powerful 12 cylinder engine would go on to
become synonymous with the Ferrari brand. In 1948, the first road car, the Ferrari 166 Inter, was produced. Styling quickly
became an integral part of the Ferrari brand.
In 1950, we began our participation in the Formula 1 World Championship, racing in the world’s second Grand Prix
in Monaco, which makes Scuderia Ferrari the longest running Formula 1 team. We won our first Constructor World Title in
1952. Our success on the world’s tracks and roads extends beyond Formula 1, including victories in some of the most
important car races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world’s oldest endurance automobile race, and the 24 Hours of
Daytona.
The Fiat group acquired a 50 percent stake in Ferrari S.p.A. in 1969 and increased its stake to 90 percent in 1988
following the death of Enzo Ferrari, with the remaining 10 percent held by Enzo Ferrari’s son, Piero Ferrari.
Ferrari became an independent, publicly traded company following its separation from FCA (renamed Stellantis in
January 2021, following the merger of Peugeot S.A. with and into FCA), which was completed on January 3, 2016 (the
“Separation”) and occurred through a series of transactions including (i) an intragroup restructuring which resulted in the
Company’s acquisition of the assets and business of Ferrari North Europe Limited and the transfer by FCA of its 90 percent
shareholding in Ferrari S.p.A. to the Company, (ii) the transfer of Piero Ferrari’s 10 percent shareholding in Ferrari S.p.A. to
the Company, (iii) the initial public offering of common shares of the Company on the New York Stock Exchange in October
2015 under the ticker symbol RACE, and (iv) the distribution, following the initial public offering, of FCA’s remaining
interest in the Company to FCA’s shareholders. On January 4, 2016 the Company also completed the listing of its common
shares on the Mercato Telematico Azionario (“MTA”, subsequently renamed Euronext Milan), under the ticker symbol
RACE.
Industry Overview
Within the luxury goods market, we define our target market for luxury performance cars as two-door cars powered
by engines producing more than 500 hp and selling at a retail price in excess of Euro 150,000 (including VAT). The luxury
performance car market historically has followed relatively closely growth patterns in the broader luxury market. The luxury
performance car market is generally affected by global macroeconomic conditions and, although we and certain other
manufacturers have proven relatively resilient, general downturns can have a disproportionate impact on sales of luxury
goods in light of the discretionary nature of consumer spending in this market. Furthermore, because of the emotional nature
of the purchasing decision, economic confidence and factors such as expectations regarding future income streams as well as
the social acceptability of luxury goods may impact sales.
Following the sharp recession of 2008-2009, the luxury performance car market has been resilient to further
economic downturns and stagnation in the broader economy, also a result of the increase of new product launches. A
sustained period of wealth creation in several Asian countries and, to a lesser extent, in the Americas, has led to an expanding
population of potential consumers of luxury goods. Developing consumer preferences in the Asian markets, where the newly
affluent are increasingly embracing western brands of luxury products, have also led to higher demand for cars in our
segment, which are all produced by established European manufacturers. In turn, the changing demographic of customers and
potential customers is driving an evolution towards luxury performance cars more suited to an urban, daily use.
Additionally, the growing appetite of younger affluent purchasers for luxury performance cars has led to new
entrants, which in turn has resulted in higher sales overall in the market.
In 2021, the luxury performance car market experienced a V-shaped recovery, with Ferrari shipments returning to
and surpassing the 2019 pre-pandemic levels while shipments of the overall luxury performance car market partially
recovered but remained below the 2019 pre-pandemic levels, after the economic shock experienced in 2020 as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic. The actions taken worldwide for the containment of the pandemic, including widespread vaccination
campaigns, enabled Ferrari and some of its main competitors to fully recover and maintain their production capacity.
Furthermore, the renewed product offering by several competitors was another key element driving the positive performance
of the market.
38
Unlike in other segments of the broader luxury market, in the luxury performance car market, a significant portion of
demand is driven by new product launches. The market share of individual producers fluctuates over time reflecting the
timing of product launches. New launches tend to drive sales volumes even in difficult market environments because the
novelty, exclusivity and excitement of a new product is capable of creating and capturing its own demand from clients.
Growing environmental concerns are leading to the implementation of increasingly stringent emissions regulations
and an increase in demand for both hybrid and electric vehicles. Cost and limited charging infrastructure are currently
limiting factors in the demand for electric vehicles, but advancements in battery technology in coming years are expected to
boost sales of hybrid and electric high performance luxury vehicles, although at a slower pace compared to mass market
vehicles. The ability to combine driving experience with hybrid and electric technology will be key for the commercial
success of high performance luxury vehicles.
As shown in the chart below, our volumes in recent years have proven less volatile than our competitors’. We
believe this is due to our strategy of maintaining low volumes compared to demand, as well as to the higher number of
models in our range and our more frequent product launches compared to our competitors.
Ferrari and Luxury Performance Car Industry data are updated to December 31, 2021.
The commercial criteria we used for evaluation of the Luxury Performance Car Industry include all two door GT and sports cars with power

Ferrari is market leader in several countries, including France, Italy, Switzerland, UK, USA, Australia, Japan and South Korea, among others.
While we monitor our market share as an indicator of our brand appeal, we do not regard market share in the luxury
performance market as particularly relevant as compared to other segments of the automotive industry. We are not focused on
market share as a performance metric. Instead, we deliberately manage our supply relative to demand, to defend and promote
our brand exclusivity and premium pricing.
Competition
Competition in the luxury performance car market is concentrated in a fairly small number of producers, including
both large automotive companies that own luxury brands as well as small producers exclusively focused on luxury cars, like
us. The luxury performance car market includes sports cars and GT cars.
Our current sports car models are the 812 GTS, the Ferrari F8 Tributo, the Ferrari F8 Spider, the 296 GTB and the
SF90 Stradale and the SF90 Spider, our first series production Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) models. Our principal
competitors are Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche, Mercedes, Aston Martin and Audi. Our current GT range models include
the Ferrari Roma and the Ferrari Portofino M, while our main competitors are Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin and
Mercedes.
Competition in the luxury performance car market is driven by the strength of the brand and the appeal of the
products in terms of performance, styling, novelty and innovation as well as on the manufacturers’ ability to renew its
product offerings regularly in order to continue to stimulate customer demand.
Competition among similarly positioned luxury performance cars is also driven by price and total cost of ownership.
Resilience of the car value after a period of ownership is an important competitive dimension among similarly positioned
luxury cars, as a higher resilience decreases the total cost of ownership and promotes repeat purchases: we believe this is a
strong competitive advantage of Ferrari cars.

have launched 13 models in accordance with our plan to launch 15 new models by 2022 as announced at our 2018 Capital
Markets Day.
In 2021, we shipped 11,155 cars and recorded net revenues of €4,271 million, EBIT of €1,075 million, net profit of
€833 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of €1,531 million. For additional
information regarding EBITDA, including a reconciliation of EBITDA to net profit, as well as other non-GAAP financial
measures we present, see “Financial Overview—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.
Whilst broadening our product portfolio to target a larger customer base, we continue to pursue a low volume

distribution of shipments reflects deliberate allocations driven by the phase-in pace of individual models.
We focus our marketing and promotion efforts in the investments we make in our racing activities and in particular,
Scuderia Ferrari’s participation in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship, which is the pinnacle of motorsport and is one of
the most watched annual sports series in the world, with approximately 445 million unique viewers in 2021 and an average
total audience for a Grand Prix weekend of 70.3 million. (Source: Formula 1 Press Office). Although our most recent
Formula 1 world title was in 2008, we continuously enhance our focus on Formula 1 activities with the goal of improving
racing results and restoring our historical position as the premier racing team in Formula 1. We believe that these activities
support the strength and awareness of our brand among motor enthusiasts, clients and the general public.
As one of the world’s most recognized premium luxury brands, we operate in carefully selected luxury and lifestyle
categories consistent with our image. We launched our first fashion collection on June 13, 2021 in Maranello, drawing
inspiration from our marque’s style, innovation and performance. We also license the Ferrari brand to a limited number of
producers and retailers of luxury and lifestyle sectors, including theme parks that, we believe, enhance the brand experience
of our loyal clients and Ferrari enthusiasts. The world of Ferrari can also be experienced in our Ferrari Museum in Maranello
and in the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena.
41
Our international network of Ferrari Stores consists of 16 Ferrari owned store and 14 franchised stores (including 12
Ferrari Store Junior) where visitors can find our fashion collection as well as on our website. In 2021 we began giving a fresh
new look to the stores, starting with our stores in Maranello, Milan, Rome and Los Angeles.
On June 15, 2021 we reopened and revitalized our Ristorante Cavallino, which is situated opposite to the entrance of
our Maranello factory, while retaining the heritage of this historic location.
We continue in our unwavering pursuit of reaching carbon neutrality by 2030, addressing – in addition to our
electrification journey – both direct and indirect emissions with a focus on energy and materials. As a further step forward in
this process, in 2021 we calculated our carbon footprint considering the emissions related to all of our activities over our
entire value chain. Our calculation, based on greenhouse gas protocol methodology, has been certified according to ISO
14064-1:2018 requirements by a third-party and allowed us to determine priority areas for action.
We will continue focusing our efforts on protecting and enhancing the value of our brand to preserve our strong
financial profile and participate in the growth of the premium luxury market. We intend to pursue controlled and profitable
growth in existing and emerging markets while expanding the Ferrari brand to carefully selected lifestyle categories.
Sports and GT Range, Special Series and Icona: Ferrari Line-Up Strategic Pillars
Our product offering comprises four main pillars: the sports range, the GT range, special series and Icona. Our
current product range as of the date of this report includes six sports cars (the 812 GTS, the Ferrari F8 Tributo, the Ferrari F8
Spider, the 296 GTB, the SF90 Stradale and the SF90 Spider), two GT cars (the Ferrari Roma and the Ferrari Portofino M),
two special series cars (the 812 Competizione and the 812 Competizione A), and three strictly limited edition Icona models
(the new Ferrari Daytona SP3, which was presented in November 2021, as well as the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2). In 2021
we completed shipments of the 812 Superfast. We target end clients seeking high performance cars with distinctive design
and state-of-the-art technology. Our broad model range is designed to fulfill the strategy of “Different Ferrari for different
Ferraristi, different Ferrari for different moments”, which means being able to offer a highly differentiated product line-up
that can meet the varying needs of new customer segments (in terms of sportiness, comfort, on-board space, design, amongst
others) and that can allow our existing clients to use a Ferrari in various moments of their lives. Our diversified product
offering includes different architectures (such as front-engine and mid-rear engine), engine sizes (V6, V8 and V12),
technologies (atmospheric, turbo-charged, hybrid, electric), body styles (such as coupes, spiders and targa), and seats (2
seaters and 2+ seaters).
We are also actively engaged in after sales activities driven, among other things, by the objective of preserving and
extending the market value of the cars we sell. We believe our cars’ performance in terms of value preservation after a period
of ownership significantly exceeds that of any other brand in the luxury car segment. High residual value is important to the
primary market because clients, when purchasing our cars, take into account the expected resale value of the car in assessing
the overall cost of ownership. Furthermore, a higher residual value potentially lowers the cost for the owner to switch to a

Sports Range
Our sports cars are characterized by compact bodies, a design guided by performance and aerodynamics, and often
benefit from technologies initially developed for our Formula 1 single-seaters or Ferrari GT racing activities. They favor
performance over comfort, seeking to provide a driver with an immediate response and superior handling, leveraging state-of-
the-art vehicle dynamics components and controls. In our sports car class, we offer six models: the SF90 Stradale and SF90
Spider, our first series production cars which feature PHEV technology that combines a V8 engine (780 hp) with three
electric motors allowing the car to reach 1,000 hp; the Ferrari F8 Tributo and the Ferrari F8 Spider, equipped with a mid-rear
V8 engine (720 hp), 4 time winner of the engine of the year award; the 812 GTS, equipped with a front V12 engine (800 hp)
and the 296 GTB, which is the first 6-cylinder engine installed on a Ferrari road car and produces 830 hp total power output
delivered by a new 120° V6 engine (663 hp) coupled with an electric motor capable of delivering a further 122 kW (167 hp)
– unprecedented performance for a V6 car.
44
GT Range
Our GT cars, while maintaining the performance expected of a Ferrari, are characterized by more refined interiors
with a higher focus on comfort and on-board life quality. In our GT range, we offer two models equipped with our V8 engine,
the Ferrari Roma (620 hp) and the Ferrari Portofino M (620 hp).
The following chart depicts the four dimensions of our customer value proposition for our sports and GT range
models:
Special Series
From time to time, we also design, engineer and produce special series cars which can be limited in time or volume
and are usually based on our range sports models but introduce novel product concepts. These cars are characterized by
significant modifications designed to enhance performance and driving emotions. Our special series cars are particularly
targeted to collectors and, from a commercial and product development standpoint, they facilitate the transition from existing
to new range models. Following the completion of shipments for the Ferrari 488 Pista and Ferrari 488 Pista Spider in 2020, in
2021 Ferrari launched the 812 Competizione and the 812 Competizione A (830 hp). Respectively a coupe and a targa, the 812
Competizione and the 812 Competizione A represent the pinnacle of our technical expertise and performance with an
extraordinary weight to power ratio of 1.79 kg/hp, which puts them at the top of our V12 car category, reaching 0-100 km/h
in 2.85 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 7.7 seconds.
Icona
In September 2018, we introduced a new pillar of our product portfolio: the Icona, a unique concept that takes
inspiration from the iconic cars of our history and reinterprets them in a modern fashion, pairing timeless design with state-
of-the-art materials and technology. The first examples of this strictly limited-edition product line-up are the Ferrari Monza
SP1 and SP2, which are inspired by the classic collectible barchetta cars, the 750 Monza and 860 Monza. In 2021 the Ferrari
Daytona SP3 was unveiled. This limited-edition targa takes inspiration from legendary Ferrari sports prototypes of the 1960s
and sports a naturally aspirated V12 engine, mid-rear-mounted in typical racing car style. Undisputedly the most iconic of all
of Ferrari’s engines, this power unit delivers 840 hp – along with 697 Nm of torque and maximum revs of 9500 rpm –
making it the most powerful naturally aspirated road engine ever built by Ferrari.
45
Limited Edition Hypercars and One-Offs
In line with our tradition of hypercars starting with the GTO (288 GTO) in 1984 up to the Enzo in 2002 and the
LaFerrari Aperta, our latest hypercar launched in 2016, we also produce limited edition hypercars. These are the highest
expression of Ferrari road car performance at the time and are often the forerunners of technological innovations for future
range models, with innovative features and futuristic design.
In order to meet the varying needs of our most loyal and discerning clients, we also produce a very limited number
of one-off models. While based on the chassis and equipped with engines of one of the current range models for
homologation and registration purposes, these cars reflect the exact exterior and interior design specifications requested by
the clients, and are produced as a single, unique car. Some of the most iconic models emerged from our One-Off program
include the SP12 EC (inspired by the 512 BB and created in 2011), the F12 TRS (a radical two-seat roadster created on the
platform of the F12berlinetta in 2014), the Ferrari SP38 (a superlative mid-rear V8 turbo taking inspiration from the
legendary Ferrari F40), the 458MM Speciale (the last mid rear model with a V8 naturally aspirated engine in 2016), the
Ferrari P80/C, a real track car taking inspiration from past Ferrari Sport Prototipo models, and the Ferrari Omologata, based
on the 812 Superfast V12 platform. The most recent model, produced in 2021, is the BR20, a very elegant V12 based on the
GTC4 Lusso.
Personalization Offer
All of our models feature highly customizable interior and exterior options, which are included in our
personalization catalog. Some of these options include performance contents like carbon fibre parts, carbon fibre wheels,
titanium exhaust systems, alternative brake caliper colors, parking cameras, MagnaRide dual mode suspension, various door
panel configurations, steering wheel inserts and state-of-the-art custom high fidelity sound systems. Starting with the SF90
Stradale and the SF90 Spider, we have also introduced the “Assetto Fiorano” configuration, which provides numerous
exclusive features for those who seek radical performance and design. This more extreme configuration is also available for
the 296 GTB.
With our “Special Equipment” program, we offer clients additional customization choices for their cars. Our
specialists are able to guide clients in creating a very customized car through a wide catalog of special items such as different
types of rare leathers, custom stitching, special paints, special carbon fiber, and personalized luggage sets designed to match
the car’s interior.
The “Tailor Made” program provides an additional level of personalization in accordance with the expectations of
our clients. A dedicated Ferrari designer assists clients in selecting and applying virtually any specific design element chosen
46
by the client. Our clients benefit from a large selection of finishes and accessories in an array of different materials (ranging
from cashmere to denim), treatments and hues. To assist our clients’ choice we also offer three collections inspired by
Ferrari’s own tradition: Scuderia (taking its lead from our sporting history), Classica (bringing a modern twist to the styling
cues of our signature GT models) and Inedita (showcasing more experimental and innovation-led personalization).
The “One-off” program is the maximum level of personalization and exclusivity. See “—Limited Edition Hypercars
and One-Offs” above for more details.
Design
Design is a fundamental and distinctive aspect of our products and our brand. Our designers, modelers and engineers
work together to create car bodies that incorporate the most innovative aerodynamic solutions in the sleek and powerful lines
typical of our cars. The interiors of our cars seek to balance functionality, aesthetics and comfort. Cockpits are designed to
maximize the driving experience, tending towards more sporty or more comfortable depending on the model. The interiors of
our vehicles boast elegant and sophisticated trims and details that enhance the ergonomic layout of all main controls, many of
which are clustered on the steering wheel. A guiding principle of our design is that each new model represents a clear
departure from prior models and introduces new and distinctive aesthetic elements, delivering constant innovation within the
furrow of tradition.
For the design of our cars we have relied historically on Italian coachbuilders such as Carrozzeria Touring, Vignale,
Scaglietti and Pininfarina. These partnerships helped Ferrari in defining its design language at the forefront of design
advance. Throughout the years this area of excellence has been recognized repeatedly by a long series of awards being
bestowed upon Ferrari cars.
In 2010 we established the Ferrari Design Centre, our in-house design department, with the objective of improving
control over the entire design process and ensuring long-term continuity of the Ferrari style. The mission of the Ferrari
Design Centre is to define and evolve the stylistic direction of the marque, imprinting all new products with a modern stamp,
according to a futuristic, uncompromised vision. The name and logo “Ferrari Design” denotes all concepts and works of the
Ferrari Design Centre (see “—Intellectual Property”). Ferrari Design handles all aspects of automotive styling for the Ferrari
road cars product range, encompassing the styling of all bodywork, external components and interior trim, applied to series
production models for the GT and sports car range special editions, limited edition hypercars, Iconas, one-off models,
concept cars and some track-only models. Ferrari Design also includes a Color & Trim unit which manages the choice of
materials and finishes for both exterior and interior trim and, in addition, is responsible for the Tailor Made program in
conjunction with the Product Marketing department. Ferrari Design is also involved in the styling and conceptual definition
of Ferrari branded products produced by our licensees (see “—Brand Activities”). In 2019, we created the Advanced Design
team, a laboratory that aims at defining the brand’s design vision, developing new concepts and formal languages through so
far unexplored methods and tools, and trying to achieve simplification and formal purity while staying true to the Ferrari
DNA which has characterized its history.
Ferrari Design is organized as an integrated automotive design studio, employing a total workforce of approximately
120 people (full-time workers as well as external contractors) including designers, 3D surfacing operators, physical modelers
and graphic artists. It operates a modeling studio fully equipped with 5-axis milling machines with the capacity to develop
various full-scale models (interior and exterior) in parallel.
In September 2018 we opened a new building for the Ferrari Design Centre, which is our first facility fully dedicated
to the Ferrari Design. The new building hosts two Ateliers and the Tailor Made department to engage clients with Ferrari’s
rich personalization services. The Ferrari Design Centre has designed our most recent cars, including our entire current line
up.
During its 12 year history, the Ferrari Design Centre has received many prestigious design awards for the cars it has
designed, including the following in the last 2 years:
Ferrari SF90 Spider: iF Design Award; Red Dot Design Award (2021);
Ferrari Omologata: Red Dot Design Award (2021);
Ferrari Roma: iF Design Award (2021);
Ferrari Portofino M: AUTONIS - Best New Design 2021-Auto Motor und Sport - (2021);
47
Ferrari Roma: The Most Beautiful Supercar of the Year — Festival Automobile International, Paris (2020); Red Dot
Design Award (2020); Car Design Award (2020);
Ferrari SF90 Stradale: iF Gold Design Award (2020); Red Dot Best of The Best (2020);
Ferrari F8 Tributo: iF Design Award (2020); Red Dot Design Award (2020);
Ferrari One Off P80/C: iF Design Award (2020);
Ferrari Monza SP1: XXVI PREMIO COMPASSO D’ORO (2020).
On September 27, 2021 we announced a long-term, multi-year collaboration with the creative collective LoveFrom.
The first expression of this new partnership will bring together Ferrari’s legendary performance and excellence with
LoveFrom’s unrivalled experience and creativity that has defined extraordinary world changing products.
Product Development
Product development and technological innovation
Our development efforts take into account the three defining dimensions of Ferrari cars; performance; versatility and
comfort; and driving emotions.
Performance reflects features such as weight, horsepower, torque, grip, aerodynamic efficiency, acceleration, and
maximum speed, which all contribute to determine the lap time on track. We strive to ensure that every Ferrari is the best
performing car in its segment.
Versatility derives from spaciousness, accessibility and mode of traction, including rear‑wheel‑drive or
all‑wheel‑drive and, in future, electric-powered driving. Comfort results from the ease of the riding experience and onboard
interface. Regulation will affect development in this area; for example, a prescribed electric range may be required in future
to access city centers.
Driving emotions is a key differentiator of Ferrari cars. There are three elements to driving emotions: sound,
perceived acceleration and responsiveness of the car. Sound is an important part of the experience and very involving for the
driver. Perceived acceleration is the driver’s subjective impression of the instantaneous car acceleration beyond the actual
0-100 or 0-200 km/h performance measured in the car technical specifications. Responsiveness requires that every driver
command (steering, gear shifting and braking) leads to an immediate, linear and controllable reaction of the car.
These three dimensions variably interact in our sports and GT cars. As we work on the future product range, we
strive to improve on each of those dimensions, focusing for sports cars on performance and driving emotions, and for GT cars
on versatility and comfort on board and driving emotions.
48
Innovation principles
We believe there are five key guidelines to innovation at Ferrari: focus on the three key defining dimensions
described above; leveraging on Formula 1 know-how; first mover positioning in core areas such as powertrain and
aerodynamics; customization of technologies available on the market (such as the turbo technology); and pursuit of synergies
(arising from common architectures within our range). In addition to these internally driven factors, regulation is key in
determining the direction of innovation.
Combustion and hybrid engines
We believe internal combustion engines will remain important in Ferrari’s powertrain mix and therefore we continue
to invest in new combustion engine technologies and the development or use of bio-fuels.
Going forward, Ferrari will have three engine families:
V12 - We will maintain and develop the V12 naturally aspirated engine family, long the pinnacle of Ferrari engines;
V8 - We have implemented further technological enhancements for the V8 family; and
V6 - We developed and launched this year a completely new V6 family based on a specific and innovative
architecture.
The industry effort to combine greater power outputs with lower emissions and consumption often leads to a higher
turbo lag. Through a technological breakthrough, Ferrari has engineered a turbo engine with turbo engine performance but
with the response of a naturally aspirated engine. For example, compared to Ferrari’s previous line of V8 turbo engines, the
specific power output of the Ferrari F8 Tributo and the Ferrari 488 Pista was increased to 184 horsepower per litre without
meaningful turbo lag.
We have undertaken an important program to develop hybrid and electric technology. One of the more relevant
topics of this generation, we expect the concept of the car in an era of climate change to be an opportunity for us. We intend
to use hybrid and electric technology, as well as Formula 1 technology, to increase specific power output without turbo lag.
Innovation runs within Ferrari, so the challenge of building a Ferrari for a low-emissions future is one that we are
already embracing. With the SF90 Stradale we developed the first series production model in our range with PHEV
49
technology, which is also featured in the SF90 Spider. In 2021 we launched our third production model with PHEV
technology, the 296 GTB, a pure rear wheel drive sports car that reaches the pinnacle of driving emotions thanks to its V6
engine and significantly reduced weight, giving it a class-leading overall weight-to-power ratio. The increased offering of
hybrid powertrains will allow us to meet both specific regulatory requirements and also satisfy customers’ desires for
significantly improved emissions, while enhancing the performance and driving experience that render Ferrari cars unique.
Architecture
In addition to engines, the other principal technical area we are focusing on is the architecture. Our architecture
covers all principal technical specifications of future Ferrari models. We expect that innovation requirements will arise
principally from: the evolution of engine families; the level of hybridization and electrification; modes of traction; the
number of seats up to a real four-seater; and the body style, which will vary much more significantly than in the past in light
of the introduction of the Purosangue.
We expect that our core architectures will be the rear‑mid‑engine architecture and the front‑mid‑engine architecture,
each comprising several variants.
Rear-mid-engine architecture
The rear‑mid‑engine architecture is optimal for sports cars thanks to its compact dimensions, low gravity center and
favorable mass repartitions. It is designed to integrate multiple power units with a higher specific power output than the
Ferrari 488 Pista. In this architecture, combustion engines can be combined with an electric motor to realize hybridization,
including a battery to enable electric range. This architecture also allows to install an E-Axle on the front to increase overall
power and to have an all-wheel drive powertrain. The first application of this architecture is the SF90 Stradale. In
combination, we have developed a new and highly innovative 8-shift double‑clutch transmission gearbox. Hybridization will
impact the weight of engines and therefore we will deploy new lightweight technologies to compensate this impact. Package
efficiency will also be key to achieve a compact car that reduces weight and inertia. In order to apply the architecture to
different powertrains, the wheelbase may vary. The second example of this new architecture is the 296 GTB, where the V6
engine allowed for a reduction in the wheel base of 500 mm with a positive impact on driving emotions and without any trade
off of comfort on board.
Front-mid-engine architecture
The front‑mid‑engine architecture, also a transaxle powertrain concept, is optimal for our GT cars in terms of
dimensions. This architecture is able to accommodate an all‑wheel‑drive powertrain, will allow for hybridization, and will
have a flexible wheelbase suited to a variety of engines as well as seat configurations including two‑seaters and four‑seaters.
It will be accessible, spacious and comfortable. Key to this architecture will be the new active suspension systems we are
developing, with a high range between comfort and sportiness.
50
New-generation human-machine interface
Particularly driven by growth in the GT segment, Ferrari has developed the next generation of human‑machine
interface (HMI) technologies. Using state‑of‑the‑art technologies we will be guided by the Formula 1 derived concept of
“eyes on the street, hands on the steering wheel”, for a focused, safe and enjoyable drive. The new HMI includes several new
technologies, including a new head‑up display, a new innovative cluster, a new steering wheel that features new commands
and a new infotainment system, as well as tools aimed at positively enhancing the passengers’ experience. The first cars using
all or part of these technologies are the SF90 Stradale and the Ferrari Roma.
Autonomous driving and connectivity
While we do not intend to develop self-driving cars, we will adopt certain features of autonomous driving
technology in response to regulatory developments and customer preferences, especially in the GT segment. For example, in
2018 we launched initial functionalities for Advanced Driving Assistant Systems (ADAS) such as predictive braking and
automatic cruise control on current models, and further innovations will be introduced in future models.
Ferrari is carefully monitoring the evolution of autonomous driving technologies, including sensors, new chips,
artificial intelligence and connectivity, and we will select and customize those innovations compatible with the Ferrari
experience and the highest security standards. These technologies combined with the hybridization and the incoming
cybersecurity requirements will also have an important impact on the electronic architecture of our cars and we are presently
developing our future electrical and electronic architecture to take into account these requirements.
Production and Procurement
Production Process
Our production facilities are located in Maranello and in Modena, Italy (see “—Properties”). Our production
processes include supply chain management, production and distribution logistics of cars in our range models and special
series, as well as assembly of prototypes and avanseries.
Notwithstanding the low volumes of cars produced, our production process requires a great variety of inputs - over
40,000 product identifier codes sourced from approximately 800 total suppliers - entailing complex supply chain management
to ensure continuity of production. Our stock of supplies is warehoused in Ubersetto, near Maranello, and its management is
outsourced to a third party logistics company.
Most of the manufacturing process takes place in Maranello, including aluminum alloy casting in our foundry,
engine construction, mechanical machining, painting, car assembly, and bench testing; at our second plant in Modena
(Carrozzeria Scaglietti) we manufacture the aluminum bodyworks of our cars. All parts and components not produced in
house at Ferrari are sourced from our panel of suppliers (see “—Procurement”).
Between 2002 and 2012 the plants housing our production processes were entirely renovated or rebuilt and in recent
years we have continued to make significant investments in our manufacturing facilities. Equipment may require substantial
investment with the introduction of new models or to maintain state-of-the-art technology, particularly in the case of shell
tools for the foundry, tools for machining, feature tools for body welding and special mounting equipment for the assembly.
Starting from 2021, we have been acquiring additional resources and production equipment, mainly in relation to Battery
Electric Vehicles (“BEVs”), to successfully manage the new technological advancements and related challenges resulting
from the transition to electrification.
As at December 31, 2021, our production processes employed 1,723 engineers, technicians and other personnel (191
white collar employees and 1,532 workers, of which 449 were temporary production employees). We have a flexible
production organization, which allows us to adjust production capacity to accommodate our expected production
requirements. This is primarily due to the low volume of cars we produce per year and to our highly skilled and flexible
employee base that can be deployed across various production areas. In addition, we can adjust our make-or-buy strategies to
address fluctuations in the level of demand on our internal production resources. Our facilities can accommodate a
meaningful increase in production compared to current output with the increase of weekend shifts to address special peaks in
demand. In 2021 we increased production with the introduction of a second shift on car assembly lines in addition to the
51
single shift operated on the V8 assembly line. We constantly work to increase the utilization rate and reduce the internal scrap
rate and we closely monitor an index of our production efficiency. We are also committed to continually improving the
reliability of our cars, reducing defects, and optimize finishing.
Unlike most low volume car producers, we operate our own foundry and machining department producing several of
the main components of our engines, such as engine blocks, cylinder heads and crankshafts. We believe this accelerates
product development and results in components that meet our specifications more closely.
Engine Production
Our engines are produced according to a vertical structure, from the casting of aluminum in our foundry up to the
final assembly and testing of the engine. Several of the main components of our engines, such as blocks and cylinder heads
are produced at our foundry in Maranello. For this purpose, we use a special aluminum alloy that includes seven percent
silicon and a trace of iron, which improves mechanical integrity, as well as our own shell and sand casting molds. Once all
components are ready, engines are assembled on different lines for our V12 engines, our V8 and V6 engines, and the V6
engines we manufacture for Maserati. The assembly process is a combination of automatic and manual operations. At the
start of the assembly process, each engine is identified with a barcode and operations are recorded electronically. Every
engine goes to the test benches to ensure it delivers the expected performance; 10-20 percent of engines are also hot tested
and measured for power and torque. In 2021 we produced an average of approximately 114 engines per day, including
approximately 8 V12 engines and 49 V8 engines (including 5 V8 turbo for Maserati), as well as 57 V6 engines for Maserati
(see “—Manufacturing of Engines for Maserati”).
Body Assembly
In parallel with the assembly of our engines, we prepare our body-shells at our body shop Carrozzeria Scaglietti in
Modena. The main components of body-shells are not manufactured internally but are sourced from manufacturers for
chassis, bodies and carbon fiber parts. At Carrozzeria Scaglietti we have two different production lines dedicated to the
assembly of our V8 and V12 aluminum bodies. We carefully check the alignment of the various parts – most importantly the
engine cover and the wings – with electronic templates and gauges. Our highly trained specialists also perform surface
controls on the aluminum panels and eliminate any imperfections by either filing or panel beating. In our Scaglietti plant we
also have a dedicated line for the assembly of a special carbon fiber body for the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, and for the
latest Icona model launched in November 2021, the Ferrari Daytona SP3.
Painting
When transferred to our paint shop, the bodies are mounted on a loading bay, immersed in the cataphoresis tanks
and subsequently transferred to a fixing gas fired oven at 140°C. Primers are then applied and fixed at 190°C until the
completely grey body-shell is ready for painting. All body-shells are cleaned with automatic pressure blowers (to avoid the
electrostatic effect) and carefully brushed with emu feathers (because of their natural electrostatic properties) to clean off any
dirt particles or impurities before painting. The painting process is automated for larger surfaces, while it is done by hand for
some other localized areas. In 2019, we replaced the robot which performs the application of the base coat. The whole car is
painted at the same time to ensure color harmony. The bodies are finally polished with lacquer to fix the paint and give the
bodies their final finish. In 2018 we substituted our clear coat with a new generation 2K (bi-component) transparent coat that
allows us to decrease the temperature of the oven from 140°C to 90°C; this is a very innovative process that allows us to
simultaneously paint aluminum and carbon fiber parts.
Assembly Line and Final Checks
The final assembly of our cars takes place in Maranello. We have three different lines placed at ground level and the
first floor of the building. For each model, the initial assembly operations take place simultaneously on different lines and
sections to maximize efficiency so while the body is assembled on the main line, the powertrain, as well as the cockpit and
the doors, are prepared on a separate sub-line. In 2018, the line on the first floor moved from one shift to two shifts. On the
first floor there is also the assembly line for the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2; starting from April 2021, the line on the ground
floor also moved from one to two shifts.
Personalization and Road Tests
52
During the assembly process of our cars we manage the fitting of all bespoke interiors, components and special
equipment options that our clients choose as part of our personalization program (see “—Sports and GT, Special Series and
Icona: Ferrari Line up Strategic Pillars—Personalization Offer”). After the assembly phase, every car completes a 40-
kilometer road test-drive.
Finishing and Cleaning
After the road test all cars go to the finishing department. There, we thoroughly clean interior and exterior, perform a
comprehensive review of the whole car, and polish and finish the bodies to give them their final appearance.
Manufacturing of Engines for Maserati
We have been producing engines for Maserati since 2003. The V8 engines that we historically produced and
continue to produce for Maserati are variants of Ferrari families of engines and are mounted on Maserati’s highest performing
models, such as the Quattroporte and Levante (turbo engines), and the GranTurismo and the GranCabrio (aspirated engines).
All of the V8 engines that we sell to Maserati are manufactured and assembled according to the same production processes
we adopt for the V8s equipped on our cars (see “—Production Process”).
In 2011 we began producing a family of engines exclusively for Maserati, in much larger production volumes to be
installed on the Quattroporte and Ghibli (mainly the F160 3.0-liter V6 Turbo engines), and in 2016 we started the production
of F161 engines to be installed on the Levante, Maserati’s SUV. The term of our supply agreement with Maserati for the
production of V6 and V8 engines is until 2023. Under the framework agreement, Maserati is required to compensate us for
certain costs we may incur from our suppliers if there is a shortfall in the annual volume of engines actually purchased by
Maserati in that year. In 2021, we sold approximately 1,250 V8 turbo engines to Maserati and approximately 13,650 V6
engines in six different versions, ranging from 330 hp to 450 hp.
In order to meet the V6 volume and specifications requirements, in 2012 we built a dedicated assembly facility in
Maranello with a much higher level of industrialization compared to production of our V12 engines. Due to the larger
volumes and product specifications, our make-or-buy strategy for the production of F160 V6 and F161 V6 engines also
differs from the strategy applicable to the production of Ferrari engines. The vast majority of the engine components are
sourced externally from our panel of suppliers (see “—Procurement”) and in 2020 we started sourcing all casting and
machining of the cylinder heads externally, while the V6 assembly line and testing continued to be managed by us in
Maranello.
Procurement
We source a variety of components, raw materials, supplies, utilities, logistics and other services from numerous
suppliers. We recognize the contribution of our suppliers to our success in pursuing excellence in terms of luxury and
performance, therefore we carefully select suppliers that are able to meet our high standards.
For the sourcing of certain key components with highly technological specifications, we have developed strongly
synergic relationships with some of our suppliers, which we consider “key strategic innovation partners”. We currently rely
on selected key strategic innovation partners, including for the supply of transmissions and brakes. We have also developed
strong relationships with other industrial partners for bodyworks and chassis manufacturing and for powertrain and
transmissions, among other things. Pursuant to our make-or-buy strategy, we generally retain production in-house whenever
we have an interest in preserving or developing technological know-how or when we believe that outsourcing would impair
the efficiency and flexibility of our production process. Therefore, we continue to invest in the skills and processes required
for low-volume production of components that we believe improve product quality.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the purchases from our ten largest suppliers by value accounted for
approximately 20 percent of total procurement costs, and no supplier accounted for more than 10 percent of our total
procurement costs.
53
Sales and After-Sales
Our commercial team, which includes approximately 360 employees at December 31, 2021, is organized in four
geographic areas covering our principal regional end markets: (i) EMEA, (ii) Americas, (iii) Mainland China, Hong Kong
and Taiwan, and (iv) Rest of APAC.
Dealer network
We sell our cars exclusively through a network of authorized dealers (with the exception of one-offs and track cars
which we sell directly to end clients). In our larger markets we act as importer either through wholly owned subsidiaries or, in
China, through a subsidiary partly owned by a local partner, and we sell the cars to dealers for resale to end clients. In smaller
markets we generally sell the cars to a single importer/dealer. We regularly assess the composition of our dealer network in
order to maintain the highest level of quality. At December 31, 2021, our network comprised 172 dealers operating 191
points of sale.
We do not presently own dealerships and, while our strategy does not contemplate owning dealerships, we retain
flexibility to adapt to evolving market requirements over time.
We believe that our careful and strict selection of the dealers that sell our cars is a key factor for promoting the
integrity and success of our brand. Our selection criteria are based on the candidates’ reputation, financial stability and
proven track records. We are also intent on selecting dealers who are able to provide a purchase and after-sales experience
aimed at exceeding our clients’ high expectations. Furthermore, our dealers are committed to promoting and marketing our
cars in a manner intended to preserve the Ferrari brand integrity and to ensure the highest level of client satisfaction.
While dealers may hold multiple franchises, we enjoy a high degree of prominence and level of representation at
each point of sale, where most of the client interface and retail experience is exclusive to Ferrari. Our network and business
development team works with all dealers to ensure our operating standards are met. Our rigorous design, layout and corporate
identity guidelines guarantee uniformity of the Ferrari image and client interface.
In 2021 and through the date of this report, our dealer network has successfully adapted to the new and unforeseen
challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We have supported our dealers network since the start of the pandemic,
including through our “Back on Track” program, which has allowed our dealers to welcome our clients in their showrooms
safely. In addition, the majority of our dealer network’s worldwide facilities have been upgraded with the latest Ferrari
Corporate Identity, to provide clients with a superior experience while delivering a unique luxury environment and digital
touchpoints to complement the physical environment.
Through our in-house Ferrari Academy we provide training to dealers for sales, after-sales and technical activities.
This ensures that our dealer network delivers a consistent level of market leading standards across diverse cultural
environments. During 2020 and 2021 our training strategy was quickly adapted by introducing and boosting virtual-training
solutions to cope with travel restrictions, while continuing to foster expertise in the network at the highest level.
We collect and observe data relating to dealer profitability and financial health in order to prevent or mitigate any
adverse experience for clients arising from a dealer ceasing to do business or experiencing financial difficulties. Our regional
representatives visit dealerships regularly to monitor and measure performance and compliance with our operating standards.
We have the right to terminate dealer relationships in a variety of circumstances, including failure to meet performance or
financial standards, or failure to comply with our guidelines. Dealer turnover is relatively low, reflecting the strength of the
franchise and our selection processes, but is sufficient to guarantee an orderly renewal over time and to stimulate the
network’s health and performance.
We provide a suggested retail price or a maximum retail price for all of our cars, but each dealer is free to negotiate
different prices with clients and to provide financing. Although many of our clients in certain markets purchase our cars from
dealers without financing, we offer direct or indirect finance and leasing services to retail clients and to dealers. (See “—
Financial Services”).
54
The total number of our dealers as well as their geographical distribution tends to closely reflect the development or
expected development of sales volumes to end clients in our various markets over time. The chart below sets forth the
geographic distribution of our 191 points of sale at December 31, 2021:
Our sales are diversified across our dealer network, with the largest dealer representing approximately 2.6 percent of
our shipments, and our 15 largest dealers representing approximately 24 percent of our shipments in 2021.
As part of our supply and demand management, we determine allocations based on various metrics including
expected developments in the relevant market, the number of cars sold historically by the various dealers, current order book
of dealers and the average waiting time of the end client in the relevant market. Our order reporting system allows us to
collect and monitor information regarding end client orders and is able to assist us in production planning, allocation and
dealer management.
Parts
We supply parts for current and older models of Ferrari to our authorized dealer network. In addition to substitution
of spare parts during the life of the car, sales are driven by clients’ demand for parts to customize their cars and maximize
performance, particularly after a change in ownership, as well as parts required to compete in the Ferrari Challenge and other
client races. We also supply parts to Ferrari models currently out of production, with stocks dating back to 1995. The stock of
parts for even older models is currently owned and managed by a third party which in some cases also manufactures out-of-
stock parts based on our designs. The sale of parts is a profitable component of our product mix and is expected to benefit
from the increase in the number of Ferrari cars in circulation.
After-sales
Dealers provide after-sales services to clients, either at facilities adjacent to showrooms, or in stand-alone service
points across 237 facilities worldwide at December 31, 2021. After-sales activities are very important for our business to
ensure the client’s continued enjoyment of the car and the experience. Therefore, we enforce a strict quality control on our
dealers’ services activities and we provide continued training and support to the dealers’ service personnel. This includes our
team of “flying doctors,” Ferrari engineers who regularly travel to service centers to address difficult technical issues for our
clients.
We sell cars together with a scheduled program of recommended maintenance services in order to ensure that these
cars are maintained to the highest standards to meet our strict requirements for performance and safety.
55
Our 7 Year Maintenance Program (free of charge for customers since 2011 on any new cars) is offered to further
strengthen customer retention in the official network and has been coupled with the possibility to extend the statutory
warranty term of our standard warranty terms through the Power warranty coverage program up to the 15th year of life of the
car. For certain strictly limited series cars (for example, the LaFerrari and the LaFerrari Aperta) we introduced a Full
Warranty Coverage Extension that can be applied after the 36-month commercial contractual warranty.
After the 7th year of life, a car (if in perfect maintenance condition) can be included in the Main Power warranty
coverage program (Maintenance and Power) through to the car’s 15th year of life. Between the 10th year of life and the
Classiche eligibility (20 year old car) Ferrari provides its customers, in addition to standard maintenance items, also certain
specific maintenance kits (Ferrari Premium) to preserve car performance and safety systems. When a car follows the full
maintenance program up to the 20th year of life, it automatically obtains the Ferrari Classiche certification.
While we do not have any direct involvement in pre-owned car sales, we seek to support a healthy secondary market
in order to promote the value of our brand, benefit our clients and facilitate sales of new cars. Our dealers provide an
inspection service for clients seeking to sell their car which involves detailed checks on the car and a certification on which
the client can rely, covering, among other things, the authenticity of the car, the conformity to original technical
specifications, and the state of repair. Furthermore, we offer owners of classic Ferrari cars maintenance and restoration
services through the 73 “Officina Ferrari Classiche” workshops, part of our service network.
In addition, owners of our classic cars can seek assistance in car and engine restorations at our Ferrari Classiche
department in Maranello.
Financial Services
We offer retail client financing for the purchase of our cars as well as dealer financing through the operations of
Ferrari Financial Services (“FFS”).
We offer retail client financing:
directly in the United States through our fully owned subsidiary Ferrari Financial Services Inc. (“FFS Inc”);
through our associate Ferrari Financial Services GmbH in certain markets in EMEA (primarily the UK, Germany
and Switzerland); and
through various partnerships in other European countries and other major international markets, such as Japan
and Mainland China.
FFS Inc also has remaining dealer financing services in the United States.
Through FFS, we offer a range of flexible, bespoke financial and ancillary services to clients (both current and new)
interested in purchasing a wide range of cars, from our current product range to older pre-owned and classic models. FFS also
provides special financing arrangements to a selected group of our most valuable and loyal customers.
Starting in 2016, FFS Inc has pursued a strategy of autonomous financing for our financial services activities in the
United States, further reducing dependency on intercompany funding and increasing the portion of self-liquidating debt with
various securitization transactions.
At December 31, 2021, the consolidated financial services portfolio was €1,144 million and originated in the United
States.
Client Relations
Our clients are the backbone of our business together with our brand and our technology. We do not promote our
brand or our cars through general advertising. Our main brand marketing and promotional activities have two principal
targets.
56
Firstly, we target the general public. Our most significant effort in this respect is centered on our racing activities
and the resonance of Scuderia Ferrari (see “—Formula 1 Activities”). We also engage in other brand-promotional activities,
including our participation in various public events. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2021 our brand-promotional
activities were carried out mainly through digital platforms such as eSports, and our official social media channels.
Secondly, we target existing and prospective clients, seeking to promote clients’ knowledge of our products, and
their enjoyment of our cars both on road and on track, and to foster long-term relationships with our clients, which is key to
our success. In 2021, approximately 59 percent of our new cars were sold to Ferrari owners.
By purchasing our cars, clients become part of a select community sharing a primary association with the Ferrari
image and we foster this sense of fellowship with a number of initiatives. We strive to maximize the experience of our clients
throughout their period of interaction with Ferrari – from first contact, through purchasing decision process, to waiting-time
management and ownership.
The MyFerrari App is available exclusively for Ferrari clients to enhance their connection to the Ferrari world
through the direct distribution of tailored content, including the digital editions of our 2021 model launches. This new
channel enables clients to directly access features and services, strengthening their relationship with the brand and their
preferred official Ferrari dealer.
Client events
With client gatherings still impacted by restrictions in 2021, we continued to hold the presentation of our latest
product offerings using digital formats where appropriate.
In May 2021, we livestreamed on our social channels the presentation of the new limited series 812 Competizione
and 812 Competizione A from our newly finished Attività Sportive GT facility which overlooks our Fiorano race track. 
Viewers were able to hear the wonderful sounds of the naturally aspirated V12 engine while the 812 Competizione completed
hot laps around the circuit.
In June 2021, the 296 GTB, an evolution of Ferrari’s mid-rear-engined two-seater sports berlinetta concept, was
unveiled digitally across our social channels in an extended reality format around the “Fun to Drive” concept of the model.
Additionally, in November 2021 the Ferrari Daytona SP3, the third car to join the strictly limited-edition Icona
series, was presented to selected clients at an exclusive and private gathering at Casa Ferrari in Florence. The Ferrari Daytona
SP3 made its public and livestream debut at the Finali Mondiali held at the Mugello circuit, where it led a parade flanked by
the legendary sports prototypes of the 1960s that it was inspired from.
Following the digital launches of our new product offerings, clients were engaged locally by their preferred Ferrari
dealers for conducting car configurations, static previews of the model, and eventually dynamic test drives when the dealer
demonstrations became available.
Clients can continue to benefit from a set of direct services which enables them to participate in remote Atelier and
Tailor Made sessions directly with our team of designers in Maranello. In addition, clients can send their creations in the
configurator tool of the MyFerrari app directly to their official dealers.
Driving events
Driving events serve the dual objective of allowing clients to enjoy the best emotions of driving a Ferrari, and to
foster client loyalty and repeat purchases by creating enhanced opportunities to experience new Ferrari cars. The Ferrari
community is a passionate group supported by a wide array of experiences tailored to the dreams of modern car owners,
classic car connoisseurs, and racetrack enthusiasts.
We see nurturing our clients’ passion for driving as a key asset for our future commercial success, particularly in
markets where racing traditions are less pronounced. We offer our prospective and existing clients interested in new Ferrari
models our Esperienza Ferrari program, which consists of driving sessions with a team of highly qualified and skilled Ferrari
instructors and technicians. In addition we also offer to our clients on-track driving courses (Corso Pilota), catering to
57
different levels of skill and experience and teaching essential driving skills for high performance cars. In selected markets,
such as China, we also offer complimentary driving courses on-track to any new car buyer.
In addition to on-track racing, we organize various on-the-road driving events, both under proprietary formats
(Ferrari Cavalcade, including the Cavalcade Classiche) and with our own branded presence within established driving
events. For example, in the Ferrari Tribute to Mille Miglia and the Ferrari Tribute to Targa Florio modern Ferrari cars take
part in their own dedicated competition before the start of the main racing.
To mark the tenth anniversary of our most exclusive driving event for clients, in 2021 the Ferrari Cavalcade was
held in Taormina, Sicily, gathering for the first time both our best modern and classic Ferrari models owned by clients from
around the world. A final gala was held in the spectacular Teatro Antico di Taormina, a perfect climax to the  driving
experience through the charms and warm hospitality of Southern Italy.
All driving events managed directly by Ferrari, such as the Ferrari Cavalcade, and those managed by third-party
event organizers, such as the Ferrari Tribute to Mille Miglia and the Ferrari Tribute to Targa Florio, proceeded in
accordance with local government health and safety regulations.
Another exclusive driving experience added in 2021 is the Corso Pilota Classiche course led by experts of the
Ferrari Classiche team, and aimed at classic car enthusiasts and clients interested in learning more about the Ferrari
Classiche certification program and the storied archives at our Officine Classiche restoration department. The initiative also
offers the opportunity to experience on-track driving of those celebrated models on our Fiorano race circuit.
Attività Sportive GT
Attività Sportive GT is our department overseeing the activities of Competizioni GT and Corse Clienti which
organizes and supports client activities on track. Ferrari is once again World Endurance Champion, both in the Constructors’
and Drivers’ categories, four years after its prior win, completing one of the most successful seasons in Ferrari’s history.
In 2021, the Competizioni GT department enjoyed a year of extraordinary achievements on track. Ferrari AF Corse’s
488 GTEs won the Constructors’ title in the FIA World Endurance Championship. Ferrari drivers Alessandro Pier Guidi and
James Calado won the world championship for a second time after winning in 2017, becoming the first World Endurance
Championship drivers to achieve this result. Ferrari and AF Corse achieved two titles in the LMGTE AM category as well,
and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in PRO and Am classes. In the GT3 car championships, the 488 GT3 Evo 2020 continued
its winning streak. Pier Guidi-Ledogar-Nielsen’s victory in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup was undoubtedly
the most important result of the season, and the crew drove a Ferrari to glory in the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps for the
first time since 2004. The 2021 488 GTE and 488 GT3 statistics were updated with 44 victories in 93 races (48%) and 423
wins in 761 races (55%), respectively. Since its racing debut, the various configurations of the 488 GT3 have achieved 106
titles.
While providing direct and indirect support to the various racing teams, the Competizioni GT engineers kept
planning for the future. On February 24, 2021 Ferrari announced the launch of the Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) programme
under which Ferrari will enter the new top category of the FIA WEC World Championship starting from 2023, in partnership
with AF Corse. Ferrari has also announced a technical partnership agreement with ORECA for the assembly and after-sales
services of the new GT3, which will begin track testing in early 2022. The technical partnership confirms Ferrari’s long-term
commitment to the main GT car championships.
Among the non-competitive activities, the Club Competizioni GT continued successfully and the event’s
participation increased by 24 percent compared to 2020, benefiting from the debut of the 488 GT Modificata, a limited series
car dedicated to sports clients, 24 of which took part in the Finali Mondiali.
Participants in the Corse Clienti racing season in Europe, North America and United Kingdom also increased in
comparison with 2020, although the Asia Pacific series had to contend with continued travel restrictions and quarantines in
the relevant geographies. For the first time in the history of the one-make series, a woman – Michelle Gatting – was crowned
champion of the European series. During the Finali Mondiali, 17-year-old Finn Luka Nurmi won the Ferrari Challenge
World Championship, setting another record after becoming the youngest winner in the history of the series at just 16 earlier
in the year. The Ferrari Challenge Europe received the ISO 20121 certification, the international standard for sustainable
event management, making the Prancing Horse’s one-make series the first European single-make series for thermal cars to
58
receive this certification. F1 Clienti and the XX Programme, the non-competitive activities of Corse Clienti F1 Clienti and
the XX Programme, and the non-competitive activities of Corse Clienti, experienced an increase in the number of event
attendees in 2021 compared to 2020 and featured two new initiatives: F1 Clienti Masterclass and XX Programme’s Exclusive
Experience.
Ferrari Classiche
The Ferrari Classiche department supports Ferrari customers in managing their historic Ferrari vehicles with the
objective of keeping as many of these classic cars on the road as possible. Services include the certification of the authenticity
of classic Ferrari cars and vehicles of particular historical relevance, the management of Ferrari restoration and repair
activities, as well as the management of Ferrari spare parts, including when these are no longer available on the market. The
department also provides advice on repair operations carried out on Ferrari Classiche cars within its network.
Ferrari Classiche aims to create a platform of information and technical expertise to preserve and enhance over time
the awareness and value of Ferrari’s heritage and brand. We view the surviving Ferrari vehicles of historical value as the
tangible legacy and incarnation of our brand. The Ferrari Classiche department also supports and encourages the direct
participation of clients in strategic historical events.
The Ferrari Classiche department in Maranello consists of an office of specialists and a workshop in which historic
cars are restored and repaired. In addition, in order to provide an enhanced service to owners away from the main workshop
in Maranello, starting in 2017 Ferrari Classiche authorized a new service network with 73 “Officina Ferrari Classiche”
workshops to date, primarily for vehicle repairs and the certifications’ inspections or revalidation, and the network is
expected to expand in future periods.
The originality of the car with respect to the initial specifications is checked via a technical inspection, performed
either at the Ferrari Classiche facility in Maranello or at an authorized Officina Ferrari Classiche, and benefits from a
comprehensive archive containing drawings of each of the individual chassis and details of historical components. Based on
the evidence gathered during this inspection, the car is then presented to an expert committee, chaired by the founder’s son,
Piero Ferrari, for the certification.
At the Maranello workshop, Ferrari Classiche carries out full restorations using either original components and spare
parts or replicas manufactured in accordance with the original specifications. Our service offers our clients the opportunity to
restore any classic Ferrari to its original pristine conditions.
The Ferrari Classiche department also provides basic technical and instructional support to the Ferrari Classiche
Academy, a new driving school project that launched in 2019 for vintage Ferrari cars, including the Ferrari 308 and 550
Maranello.
59
Formula 1 Activities
Participation in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship with Scuderia Ferrari is a core element of our marketing
effort and promotional activities, as well as an important source of technological innovation for the engineering, development
and production of our sports, GT, special series and Icona cars. The FIA Formula 1 World Championship is the pinnacle of
motorsports with 445 million unique viewers and a total cumulative global television audience of 1.55 billion in 2021.
(Source: Formula 1 Press Office)
Once again in 2021, Formula 1’s social media platforms grew significantly, with the total number of followers up 40
percent to 49.1 million, and video views increased by 50 percent to 7 billion. In 2021, Formula 1’s social media channels
were once again the fastest growing major sports league in the world across the four major social platforms and registered the
fastest growth in engagement compared to other major sports. (Source: Formula 1 Press Office)
Formula 1 cars rely on advanced technology, powerful hybrid engines and cutting edge aerodynamics. While Europe
is the sport’s traditional base, longstanding non-European venues such as Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Mexico and the
United States have been joined in the last two decades by racing venues in China, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Singapore,
Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Azerbaijan. This provides participants in the Formula 1 World Championship exceptional
visibility on the world stage.
Scuderia Ferrari has been racing in the Formula 1 World Championship since the series was launched in 1950, and
won its first Grand Prix in 1951. We are the only team that has competed in each season since launch and the oldest and most
successful in the history of Formula 1, with 238 Grand Prix wins. Throughout our racing history, we have won 15 Drivers’
Championships and 16 Constructors’ Championships, more than any other team. Many of the best known drivers in the
sport’s history have raced in Scuderia Ferrari’s distinctive red cars including Alberto Ascari, Juan-Manuel Fangio, Mike
Hawthorn, Phil Hill, John Surtees, Niki Lauda, Jody Scheckter, Gilles Villeneuve, Michael Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen.
Our drivers’ line-up in 2021 comprised Charles Leclerc, the first graduate of the Ferrari Driver Academy training scheme to
race for our Formula 1 race team, and Carlos Sainz, a young but already experienced talented Spanish driver.
In 2021 the new FIA financial regulations entered into force, imposing a cap (which will gradually decrease over the
next two years) on certain expenses and investments related to operations and the chassis of the cars which may be incurred
by any single Formula 1 team. Moreover, development activities were also limited by the new regulation and only one
development per component was allowed in the power unit area.
Though the 2021 season remained affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks to the efforts of FIA, Formula 1 and
the teams, it was possible to organize 22 Grands Prix, a record number in the history of the sport.
In terms of results, the season ended with third place for the Scuderia Ferrari in the Constructors’ Championship,
with 323.5 points, five podiums, two pole positions, and with fifth and seventh place finishes in the Drivers’ Championship,
for Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc respectively.
Scuderia Ferrari’s continuing participation in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship over the five year period
from 2021 to 2025 is governed by two agreements – widely known as New Concorde Agreement - signed on August 18,
2020. The first of such agreements governs the regulatory and governance aspects of the sport, and the second governs the
commercial aspects. The New Concorde Agreement recognizes the historical role of Ferrari, the only team that has
participated in all Formula 1 World Championship editions since its inception. In exchange for their participation in Formula
1 races, the participating teams receive a share of a prize fund based on the profits earned from Formula 1-related commercial
activities managed by Formula 1, including in particular, promoters’ fees, television broadcasting royalties, partnership
agreements and other sources. Shares in the prize fund are paid to the teams, largely based on the relative ranking of each
team in the championship. We use our share of these payments to offset a portion of the costs associated with Scuderia
Ferrari, including the costs of designing and producing the race cars each year and the costs associated with managing a
racing team, including the salaries of the drivers, who are typically among the most highly paid athletes in the world. Please
see “Risk Factors—Our revenues from Formula 1 activities may decline and our related expenses may grow”.
Improvements in technology and, from time to time, changes in regulations typically require the design and
production of a new racing car every year. Therefore, in addition to our long-term research and development efforts, we begin
designing our cars each year in the spring, in anticipation of the start of the racing season the following March. While the
chassis and the power unit we build each year are designed to be used throughout the racing season, the majority of other
components fitted on our cars are adjusted from race to race depending on the characteristics of the circuits.
60
To maximize the performance, efficiency and safety of our Formula 1 cars, while complying with the strict technical
rules and restrictions set out by the FIA, our research and development team plays a key role in the development of our road
cars and their engines. We often transfer technologies initially developed for racing to our road cars. Examples include
steering wheel paddles for gear-shifting, the use and development of composite materials, which make cars lighter and faster,
and technology related to hybrid propulsion.
Our road cars (especially our sports car models) have benefited from the know-how acquired in the wind tunnel by
our racing car development teams, enjoying greater stability as they reach high speeds on and off the track. Our research and
development team focus on combining minimal lap times with maximum efficiency, leading to advances in kinetic energy
recovery systems, or ERS, technology. Current advanced ERS features two electric motor/generator units in every car, which
allow the car to recover, store and deploy energy generated both by the vehicle during braking and by the exhaust gases
through a turbocharger.
The great visibility, both on traditional media and on digital platforms, that Scuderia Ferrari obtains thanks to its
participation in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship continues to attract significant sponsorships. The visibility and
placement of partner logos on the car and team uniforms reflect their respective level of sponsorship.
We use the platform provided by Formula 1 for a number of associated marketing initiatives, such as the hosting of
clients and other key partners in Ferrari Formula 1 Club Hospitality to watch and experience the Grand Prix races with
Scuderia Ferrari, and our Formula 1 drivers’ participation in various promotional activities for our road cars. We often sell
older Formula 1 cars to customers for use in amateur racing or collection.
More generally, Formula 1 racing allows us to promote and market our brand and technology to a global audience
without resorting to traditional advertising activities, therefore preserving the aura of exclusivity around our brand and
limiting the marketing costs that we, as a company operating in the luxury industry, would otherwise incur.
In December 2021, the World Motor Sport Council validated the framework for the 2026 Power Unit Regulations,
which includes technical, operational and financial guidelines. The framework identifies key objectives related to, among
other things, the environmental impact, cost reduction measures and competitiveness of the FIA Formula 1 World
Championship. A detailed document of the 2026 Power Unit Regulations is expected to be developed and submitted to the
World Motor Sport Council during the course of 2022.
Mugello Circuit
Located in Scarperia just outside Firenze, for more than 100 years the Mugello Circuit has carved its mark as one of
the leading motorsport venues globally. Internationally renowned as the host venue for the Italian MotoGP Grand Prix since
1976 (and consecutively since 1994), the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Tuscany Ferrari 1000 in 2020, and numerous international
motorsports competitions, the 5,245 metres circuit mimicking the natural slopes of the Tuscan hills is also famed for its
ultimate driving experience and modern facilities.
Originally a 66 km road circuit, the first motorsport event held at Mugello starting from 1914 were regularity. Enzo
Ferrari won in 1921 on an Alfa Romeo class 4.500. The current facilities were designed in the early 70’s and later re-
modelled in 1988 when Ferrari bought the circuit. Year after year the track has seen consistent improvements in terms of
safety with FIA Grade 1 and FIM Grade A certifications, the highest levels of homologation for a racetrack.
In 2021 the circuit hosted 250 days of track activities and 14 race weekends.
The circuit was awarded the prize for the Best Grand Prix circuit for a MotoGP event five times (1995, 1996, 1997,
2000, 2011), and is also a leader in terms of its sustainability practices. It was the first circuit in the world to obtain FIA’s
prestigious “Achievement of Excellence” in 2015 and to be certified according to the sustainable event management system
ISO 20121. In July 2021, an analysis carried out by Enovation Consulting and Right Hub on 96 circuits worldwide, 23 of
which host or have hosted a Formula 1 GP, featured the Mugello Circuit on top of the Sustainable Circuits Index.
In 2021 all certifications were renewed, including for the international standards for sustainable and event
management as well as the system of safety and health management on work places.

Brand Diversification Strategy
As one of the world’s leading luxury brands, Ferrari operates in carefully selected luxury and lifestyle categories.
We also engage in brand development and protection activities through licensing contracts with selected partners, retail
activities through a chain of franchised or directly managed stores, licensed theme parks and the development of a line of
apparel and accessories sold in our monobrand stores, on our website www.store.ferrari.com and in selected multi-brand
stores, both physical and online.
In November 2019, management presented the principles of its brand diversification strategy, recognizing Ferrari as
a unique brand with a dual identity: exclusive in relation to the luxury pricing and aspirational character of our cars, but also
inclusive in relation to our F1 fan community. To ensure long-term profitable growth, Ferrari intends to focus its offering on
product categories that enhance the vibrancy and vitality of the brand through the following pillars:
“Brand Extension” pillar, a refined collection of products that will embody Ferrari’s DNA;
“Entertainment” pillar, to reach out to a wider and younger customer base while leveraging Ferrari’s unique racing
roots; and
“Car Adjacencies” pillar, a collection of exclusive luxury products and services to complement the Ferrari
experience.
In 2021, due to government restrictions on travel and certain business activities imposed as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic, the number of visitors in our museums, our franchised and directly managed stores, and our licensed
theme parks (further described below) was significantly lower than pre-pandemic levels despite an increase compared to
2020.
Retail
Through our network of stores (franchised or directly managed), we offer a wide range of Ferrari branded products,
including our fashion collection.
At December 31, 2021, there were a total of 30 retail Ferrari stores, including those in Maranello, Milan, Rome,
Miami, Los Angeles and Abu Dhabi, of which 16 stores directly owned and operated by us and 14 franchised stores
(including 12 Ferrari Store Junior).
We require all franchisees to operate our monobrand stores according to our standards. Stores are designed,
decorated, furnished and stocked according to our directions and specifications.
We use multiple criteria to select our franchisees, including know-how, financial condition, sales network and
market access. Generally, we require that applicants meet certain minimum working capital requirements and have the
requisite business facilities and resources. We typically enter into a standard franchising agreement with our franchisees.
Pursuant to this agreement, the franchisee is authorized to sell our products at a suggested retail price. In exchange, we
provide them with our products, the benefit of our marketing platform and association with our corporate identity.
62
Museums, Licensing, Entertainment and Theme Parks
Ferrari owns and manages two museums, one in Maranello and one in Modena.
We enter into license agreements with a number of licensees for the design, development and production of Ferrari
branded products. We carefully select our licensees through a rigorous process and we contractually seek to ensure that our
brand and intellectual property are protected and that the products which will eventually bear our brand are of adequate
quality, appearance and market positioning. Ferrari branded products include consumer electronics, sportswear, toys, video
games, watches and other accessories, as well as theme parks.
In 2021, we consolidated our participation in eSports with the second edition of the Ferrari eSports series with more
than 34,000 participants.
A significant portion of our revenues from licensing activities consists of royalties we receive in connection with
Ferrari World, our theme park in Abu Dhabi. Ferrari World opened on Yas Island, on the North East side of Abu Dhabi’s
mainland, in 2010. Ferrari World’s iconic sleek red roof is directly inspired by the classic double curve side profile of the
Ferrari GT body, spanning 200,000 square meters and carrying the largest Ferrari logo ever created. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi
offers an all-around Ferrari experience to children and adults alike.
Our second theme park, Ferrari Land Portaventura, opened in April 2017 near Barcelona, and includes Red Force,
the tallest and fastest roller-coaster in Europe. In the long-term we aim to open one theme park in each of the main
geographic areas where we operate, including North America and Asia.

Intellectual Property
We own a number of registered designs and utility patents. We expect the number to grow as we continue to pursue
technological innovations and to develop our design and brand activities.
We file patent applications in Europe, and around the world (including in the United States) to protect technology
and improvements considered important to our business. No single patent is material to our business as a whole.
We also own a number of registered trademarks, designs and patents, including approximately 510 trademarks
(word or figurative), registered in several countries and across a number classes. In particular, we ensure that the maximum
level of protection is given to the following iconic trademarks, for which we own approximately 4,020 applications/
registrations in approximately 140 countries, in most of the main classes for goods and services:
“Ferrari” (word)
“Ferrari” logotype:
the “Prancing Horse” (figurative):
the trademark (figurative):
64
the racing shield (figurative):
Scuderia Ferrari (word and figurative):
The names of our sports, GT, special series and Icona car models and Formula 1 single-seater models are also
registered as trademarks (and logotypes) and we also register their domain names and the cars’ design.
The protection of intellectual property is also increasingly important in connection with our design and brand
activities. Therefore, we adopt and follow internal processes and procedures to ensure both that all necessary protection is
given to our intellectual property rights and that no third party rights are infringed by us. In addition, we are particularly
active in seeking to limit any counterfeiting activities regarding our Ferrari branded products around the world. To reach this
goal we closely monitor trademark applications and domain names worldwide, actively interact with national and local
authorities and customs and avail ourselves of a network of experienced outside counsels.

Properties
Our principal manufacturing facility is located in Maranello (Modena), Italy. It has an aggregate covered area of
approximately 823 thousand square meters. Our Maranello plant hosts our corporate offices and most of the facilities we
operate for the design, development and production of our road and track cars, as well as of our Formula 1 single-seaters.
(See “Production and Procurement—Production Process”). Except for some leased technical equipment, we own all of our
facilities and equipment in Maranello.
Since 2002 we have either rebuilt or renovated most of the buildings in Maranello, including the paint shop building
and the production building. In 2015 we completed construction of the new building entirely dedicated to our Formula 1 team
and racing activities, as well as the new wind tunnel 4WD.
In 2018 we completed the new Ferrari Design Centre, a building that covers more than 7 thousand square meters.
In 2019 we completed the office area and workshop area of the New Technical Center for the development of
engines and hybrid systems. The entire building and the engine and hybrid test benches cover an area of approximately 20
thousand square meters and was completed in 2021. Also in 2019, we purchased land of approximately 16 thousand square
meters in line with our expansion plans.
In 2020, we purchased approximately 64 thousand square meters of land in Maranello to be used for future
developments. In 2021, we completed the construction of the new building related to new GT sport activities (which covers
an area of approximately 6 thousand square meters near the Fiorano track), the new building for our Formula 1 simulator and
the renovation of the offices used by our Marketing and Commercial department. In 2020 we also purchased approximately
52 thousand square meters of land in Maranello to be used for future developments.
Adjacent to the plant is our Fiorano track, of approximately 3 thousand meters, built in 1972 and remodeled in 1996.
The track also houses the Formula 1 logistics offices. Additional facilities in Maranello include a product development
center, a hospitality area and the Ferrari museum.
We also own the Mugello racing circuit in Scarperia, near Florence, which we rent to racing events organizers (see
Formula 1 Activities—The Mugello Circuit”).
We own a second plant in Modena, named Carrozzeria Scaglietti. At this approximately 26 thousand square meter
plant we manufacture aluminum bodyworks for our regular range, special series and prototype cars.
The total carrying value of our property, plant and equipment at December 31, 2021 was €1,353 million.
Employees
Human capital is a crucial factor in our success, building on our position as a global leader in the luxury
performance car sector and creating long-term, sustainable value. To recognize excellence, encourage professional
development and create equal opportunities, we adopt a number of initiatives, including our appraisal system to assess our
middle-managers and white collar employees through performance management metrics; our talent management and
succession planning, in addition to assessment plans for blue collars; training and skill-building initiatives; employee
satisfaction and engagement surveys, including our so-called “Pit Stop” and “Pole Position” programs; and flexible work
arrangements, commuting programs and a dedicated welfare program, Formula Benessere, which includes, among other
programs, Formula Benessere Donna and Formula Benessere Junior (offering medical assistance to employees and their
families) and Formula Estate Junior (offering Summer Campus to the children of employees).
At December 31, 2021, we had a total of 4,609 employees, including 143 managers and senior managers. Of these,
4,337 were based at our Maranello facility, and 272 in offices around the world (including 25 managers and senior
managers), mostly in North America and China.

Approximately 12 percent of the employees were trade union members in 2021. Our employees’ principal trade
unions are Federazione Italiana Metalmeccanici (FIM-CISL), Unione Italiana Lavoratori Metalmeccanici (UILM-UIL),
Federazione Italiana Sindacati Metalmeccanici e Industrie Collegate (FISMIC) and Federazione Impiegati Operai
Metallurgici (FIOM-CGIL).
All of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Our managers are represented by the Italian
trade union, Federmanager, and are subject to a collective bargaining agreement, which will expire on December 31, 2022.
Our other employees are covered by two agreements: the first one entered into by FCA, CNH Industrial and Ferrari with
FIM-CISL, UILM-IUL, FISMIC, UGL and AQCF signed on March 11, 2019 which will expire on December 31, 2022, and
the second one named “Accordo Premio di Competitività Ferrari” signed on September 25, 2019 which will expire on
December 31, 2023. This collective bargaining contract provides, among other things, for the payment of bonuses linked to
performance up to a maximum of approximately €13,000 gross per year and payable in four installments: three advances and
a final balance.
In addition to the collective agreements, we have individually negotiated agreements with several of our managers
and other key employees providing for long-term incentives, exclusivity and non-compete provisions.
Regulatory Matters
We manufacture and sell our cars around the world and our operations are therefore subject to a variety of laws and
regulations relating to environmental, health and safety and other matters. These laws regulate our cars, including their
emissions, fuel consumption and safety, as well as our manufacturing facilities and operations, setting strict requirements on
emissions, treatment and disposal of waste, water and hazardous materials and prohibitions on environmental contamination.
Our vehicles, together with the engines that power them, must comply with extensive regional, national and local laws and
regulations, and industry self-regulations (including those that regulate vehicle safety). However, we currently benefit from
certain regulatory exemptions, because we qualify as an SVM or similar designation in certain jurisdictions where we sell
cars. As outlined below, these exemptions provide a range of benefits, from less stringent emissions caps and compliance
date extensions, to exemptions from zero emission vehicle production requirements.
We are in substantial compliance with the relevant regulatory requirements affecting our facilities and products
around the world. We constantly monitor such requirements and adjust our operations as necessary to remain in compliance.
Approval and market surveillance
In May 2018 the European Parliament and European Council issued Regulation 2018/858, establishing the new
framework for the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles (repealing Directive 2007/46/EC). While the previous
regulatory framework of Directive 2007/46/EC was focused on technical standards, the new regulation has a broader scope
by including market surveillance requirements in order to ensure the enforcement of applicable standards. The key objectives
of Regulation 2018/858 are: enhancing the independence of technical services (i.e. the approved testing laboratories) as well
as improving the quality of the testing of vehicles and setting stricter requirements for technical services; introducing market
surveillance in order to verify the conformity of vehicles on the market to the applicable standards, and requiring corrective
measures in case of non-compliance or where a vehicle poses a safety risk or a risk to the environment; strengthening the type
67
approval system with more stringent oversight by the EU. The Commission has the power to suspend, restrict or withdraw the
designation of technical services, to order recalls, and to impose financial penalties.
Greenhouse gas/CO2/fuel economy legislation
European legislation limited fleet average greenhouse gas emissions for new passenger cars to 130 grams of CO2 per
kilometer for the period 2015-2019. Due to our SVM status under EU regulations we benefited from a derogation from the
130 grams per kilometer emissions requirement available to small volume and niche manufacturers during that period.
Pursuant to that derogation, we were instead required to meet yearly CO2 emissions targets, beginning in 2012, reaching a
target level of 290 grams per kilometer in 2016 for our fleet of EU-registered vehicles that year. Despite global shipments
exceeding 10,000 vehicles in 2019, Ferrari continued to qualify as an SVM under EU regulations, because its total number of
registered vehicles in the EU per year is less than 10,000 vehicles.
In 2014, the European Union set new 2020 emissions targets, calling for 95 percent of a manufacturer’s full fleet of
new passenger cars registered in the EU in 2020 to average 95 grams of CO2 per kilometer, rising to 100 percent of the fleet
in 2021. The 2014 regulation extends the small volume and niche manufacturers derogation. Pursuant to the derogation
approved by the European Commission following our petition, we were required to meet certain CO2 emissions target levels
in the 2017-2021 period, reaching a target of 277 grams per kilometer in 2021 for our fleet of EU-registered cars that year.
In 2019, the European Union set new 2025 and 2030 emissions targets, calling for respectively a 15 percent and 37.5
percent reduction of the target applicable in 2021. An incentive mechanism for zero and low emission vehicles was also
introduced. This new regulation (EU 2019/631) continues to state that it is not appropriate to use the same method to
determine the emissions reduction targets for large volume manufacturers as for small volume manufacturers that are
considered as independent. Therefore, Ferrari and other SVMs have the possibility to continue to apply for alternative
emissions reduction and are required to submit the application at the latest by October 31 of the year in which the related
derogation shall apply.
The regulation EU 2019/631 sets out new EU rules on monitoring and reporting of average emissions: the
Commission will have to ensure the real-world representativeness of the CO2 emission values based on data from the fuel
consumption meters installed in new cars and will be obliged to publish the performance of each manufacturer. For this
purpose, the Commission issued in March 2021 the Implementing Regulation EU 2021/392 requiring manufacturers to
collect and report the real-world on-board fuel consumption monitoring (OBFCM) data and the vehicle identification
numbers of new cars registered starting from January 1, 2021, unless the vehicle owner expressly refuses to make that data
available. The European Commission will then publish real-world data on an annual basis, aggregated at the level of
manufacturer for comparison of the same set of vehicles between data recorded in the certificates of conformity and the real-
world data. In addition, regulation EU 2019/631 requires the European Commission to evaluate the possibility of a common
methodology for the assessment and the consistent data reporting of full life-cycle emissions from cars. The regulation also
includes provisions on in-service conformity testing and on detecting strategies which may artificially improve the CO2
performance. Because of these requirements, the European Commission is currently working on a Delegated Regulation
defining the procedures for verifying the CO2 emissions of vehicles in-service. Detailed technical provisions (e.g. test
procedures, statistical evaluations, tolerances, pass/fail criteria, etc.) for the in-service verification procedures will be further
defined by an Implementing Regulation.
The European Green Deal, adopted by the European Commission in December 2019, has at its core combating
climate change and reaching the objectives of the Paris Agreement and other environmental goals (including addressing air
pollution). One of its central elements is the 2050 climate neutrality objective. The European Commission enshrined the 2050
climate neutrality objective into EU law entered into force in July 2021. In order to set the EU on a sustainable path to
achieve climate neutrality by 2050, the European Commission has also presented a net EU-wide, economy-wide plan to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 percent by 2030, compared to 1990 levels.
Building on the existing legislation and the EU’s 2030 climate ambitions, the European Commission also published
the “Fit for 55” Package on July, 14, 2021, which includes a proposed amendment to the regulation EU 2019/631. In
particular, the European Commission’s proposal would remove by 2030 the provision granting a derogation from the specific
emissions targets to manufacturers responsible for between 1,000 and 10,000 new passenger cars in a calendar year.
Moreover, the proposal would increase the 2030 CO2 emissions target from a 37.5% to a 55% reduction compared to 2021
and introduce a 2035 target whereby CO2 emissions from new cars and vans would have to be 100% lower compared to
2021.
68
Similarly to the EU, Switzerland introduced CO2 emission regulations for new cars in July 2012. Despite the
existence of some specificities within the Swiss regulation, derogations aligned with EU regulation have been granted to
SVMs up to and including 2021. Switzerland has historically adopted the targets approved by the European Commission. On
November 24, 2021, the Swiss Federal Council amended the CO2 emission regulations for cars and vans. This regulation was
repealed starting from January 1, 2022 and the vehicles of niche and small volume manufacturers will have to meet the same
CO2 emission targets as the large volume manufacturers. This change in legislation is expected to result in additional costs
for Ferrari, either through penalties or the purchase of emissions credits from other manufacturers. Ferrari does not expect 
such additional costs to be material.
In the United States, both Corporate Average Fuel Economy (“CAFE”) standards and greenhouse gas emissions
(“GHG”) standards are imposed on manufacturers of passenger cars. Because the control of fuel economy is closely
correlated with the control of GHG emissions, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) have sought to harmonize fuel economy regulations with the regulation
of GHG vehicle emissions (primarily CO2). These agencies have set the federal standards for passenger cars and light trucks
to meet an estimated combined average fuel economy (CAFE) level that is equivalent to 35.5 miles per U.S. gallon for 2016
model year vehicles (250 grams CO2 per mile). In August 2012, these agencies extended this program to cars and light trucks
for model years 2017 through 2025, targeting an estimated combined average emissions level of 163 grams per mile in 2025,
which is equivalent to 54.5 miles per gallon.
On September 27, 2019 the EPA and the NHTSA issued the “Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule
Part One: One National Program” (SAFE I Rule). These rules would exert federal preemption authority under the CAFE
statute over California’s ability to regulate greenhouse gases and would revoke the current EPA waiver under the Clean Air
Act which had authorized California to regulate GHG from motor vehicles. The state of California along with other states and
certain NGOs filed challenges to these rules in both US District Court for the District of Columbia and the United States
Court of Appeals D.C. Circuit. In May 2021, the NHTSA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing to fully repeal
the SAFE I Rule.
On March, 31, 2020 the EPA and the NHTSA issued the final SAFE Vehicles Rule (Part Two) setting CAFE and
carbon dioxide emissions standards for model years 2021-2026 passenger cars and light trucks. Under the SAFE Vehicles
Rule (Part Two), the overall stringency of the federal standards is significantly reduced from the levels previously set as the
final rule will increase stringency of CAFE and CO2 emissions standards by 1.5 percent each year through model year 2026,
as compared with the standards issued in 2012, which would have required annual increases of approximately 5 percent. In
August 2021, the EPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing to strengthen federal GHG emissions standards
for passenger cars and light trucks by setting stringent requirements for reductions from for model years 2021-2026.
Consistently with the EPA’s approach, in September 2021 the NHTSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing
revised fuel economy standards for passenger cars and light trucks for model years 2024-2026.
Under current regulation, for model years 2017-2026, the EPA allows a SVM, defined as an operationally
independent manufacturer with less than 5,000 yearly unit sales in the United States, to petition for a less stringent standard.
The EPA has granted us SVM status. We therefore petitioned the EPA for alternative standards for the model years
2017-2021 and 2022-2025, which are aligned to our technical and economic capabilities. On July 31, 2019 the EPA
published a Notice in the U.S. Federal Register (Federal Register /Vol. 84, No. 147) that in part proposed that Ferrari be
permitted an alternative standard substantially in line with the alternative standard that Ferrari proposed to the EPA for model
years 2017-2021. The EPA approved Ferrari proposed standards for model years 2017-2020, whereas it required a small
reduction for the model year 2021 standard. On June 25, 2020, the EPA Administrator signed the final determination for
alternative GHG standards for SVMs for model years 2017 through 2021.
In September 2016, we petitioned the NHTSA for recognition as an independent manufacturer of less than 10,000
vehicles produced globally, and we proposed alternative CAFE standards, for model years 2017, 2018 and 2019. Then, in
December, 2017, we amended the petition by proposing alternative CAFE standards for model years 2016, 2017 and 2018
instead, covering also the 2016 model year. In 2019, our global production exceeded 10,000 vehicles, and therefore we are
not considered a SVM by the NHTSA for model year 2019. We previously purchased the CAFE credits needed to fulfill this
deficit. On July 15, 2020, we submitted to the NHTSA a petition for an exemption from the CAFE standards for the model
year 2020. We proceeded with this submission because, although Ferrari originally intended to produce more than 10,000
vehicles in 2020, actual production was lower than 10,000 vehicles as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related
shutdown of our production facilities. Therefore since we met the NHTSA definition of a SVM, we have requested an
alternative fleet average GHG standards for model year 2020 standard. The NHTSA has confirmed that it will not send a
69
shortfall letter to Ferrari requiring payment of CAFE civil penalties or the application of CAFE credits with regards to model
year 2020 until the NHTSA has ruled on Ferrari’s petitions for an alternative standard. We purchased the CAFE credits
needed to fulfill our model year 2021 deficit and we are planning to continue with this approach for subsequent model years.
The state of California has been granted special authority under the Clean Air Act to set its own vehicle emission
standards. In February 2010, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) enacted regulations under which manufacturers
of vehicles for model years 2012-2016 which are in compliance with the EPA greenhouse gas emissions regulations are also
deemed to be in compliance with California’s greenhouse gas emission regulations (the so-called “deemed to comply”
provision). In November 2012, the CARB extended these rules to include model years 2017-2025. In 2017 CARB performed
a technical assessment regarding greenhouse gas standards for model years 2022 through 2025, in parallel with the EPA and
the NHTSA, and confirmed in March 2017 that the standards defined in 2012 may be still considered appropriate. On
December 12, 2018 the CARB amended its existing regulations to clarify that the “deemed to comply” provision would not
be available for model years 2021-2025 if the EPA standards for those years were altered via an amendment of federal
regulations. On September 19, 2019, the NHTSA and the EPA established the “One National Program” for fuel economy
regulation, taking the first step towards finalizing the agencies’ August 2018 proposal by announcing the EPA’s decision to
withdraw California’s waiver of preemption under the Clean Air Act, and by affirming the NHTSA’s authority to set
nationally applicable regulatory standards under the preemption provisions of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act
(EPCA). The two agencies indicated that they anticipate issuing a final rule on standards in the near future. Ferrari currently
avails itself of the “deemed-to-comply” provision to comply with CARB greenhouse gas emissions regulations. Therefore,
depending on future developments, it may be necessary to also petition the CARB for SVM alternative standards and to
increase the number of tests to be performed in order to follow the CARB specific procedures.
While Europe and the United States lead the implementation of these fuel consumption/CO2 emissions programs,
other jurisdictions typically follow on with adoption of similar regulations within a few years thereafter. In China, for
example, Stage IV targeted a national average fuel consumption of 5.0L/100km by 2020. In September 2017, the Chinese
government issued the Administrative Measures on CAFC (Corporate Average Fuel Consumption) and NEV (New Energy
Vehicle) Credits. This regulation establishes mandatory CAFC requirements, while providing additional flexibility for SVMs
(defined as a manufacturer with less than 2,000 units imported in China per year that achieve a certain minimum CAFC
yearly improvement rate). Manufactures that exceed the CAFC regulatory ceiling are required to purchase NEV credits.
The Stage V regulation, issued on December 31, 2019, sets the fuel consumption fleet average targets for the period
2021-2025, targeting a national average fuel consumption of 4.0 l/100km by 2025. Following the adoption of the Stage V
fuel consumption regulation, an update to the Administrative Measures on CAFC and NEV credits was published in June
2020, keeping the additional flexibility for SVMs and relaxing the minimum CAFC yearly improvement rate required. In
addition to the fuel consumption target on the entire fleet, the Chinese regulation GB 19578-2021 sets specific fuel
consumption limits on model types. Currently, this standard is only applicable to domestic cars, as it is not adopted by the
China Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA). In the current Ferrari portfolio, only the plug-in hybrid
models would be compliant with this regulation. Following the same approach also with respect to pure electric vehicles,
during 2021 the relevant Chinese authorities have published a notice to call for participation in a working group that should
define the energy consumption limit standards for electric vehicles.
In the future, driving bans on combustion engine vehicles could be imposed, particularly in metropolitan areas,
promoting progress in electric and hybrid technology. On September 23, 2020, the Governor of California issued an
executive order requiring that all in-state sales of new passenger vehicles be zero-emission by 2035. CARB is developing
regulations among the Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) regulatory package to implement such executive order. The ACC II
regulations will seek to increase the number of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) for sale and reduce criteria and greenhouse gas
emissions from new light- and medium-duty vehicles beyond the 2025 model year. During 2021, the state of Washington
introduced legislation that could phase out sales of non-ZEVs. The Washington State House bill 1204 titled “Clean Cars
2030” provides that all privately and publicly owned passenger and light duty vehicles of model year 2030 or later registered
in Washington state must be electric vehicles and the state’s transportation commission will now work on a scoping plan for
achieving the 2030 requirement, anticipating the California target by five years. In November 2020, the UK Prime Minister,
the Transport Secretary and the Business Secretary announced, in the context of the 10-Point Plan for a Green Industrial
Revolution, the end of the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in the United Kingdom by 2030. On July 14, 2021 the UK
Government published the Green Paper on a New Road Vehicle CO2 Emissions Regulatory Framework for the United
Kingdom. The commitment is to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Following Brexit, the UK Government is
autonomous in defining the legal framework to deliver the internal combustion engine vehicles phase out dates announced
70
and is expected to publish a proposal in 2022. This will put the United Kingdom on course to be the first G7 country to
decarbonize cars and vans.
Exhaust and evaporative emissions requirements
In 2007, the European Union adopted a series of updated standards for emissions of other air pollutants from
passenger and light commercial vehicles, such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulates. These
standards were phased in from September 2009 (Euro 5) and September 2014 (Euro 6) for passenger cars. In 2016, the
European Union established that Euro 6 limits shall be evaluated through Real Driving Emissions (RDE) measurement
procedure and a new test-cycle more representative of normal conditions of use (Worldwide Light Vehicles Test Procedure).
SVMs (vehicle manufacturers with a worldwide annual production lower than 10,000 units in the year prior to the grant of
the type-approval) are required to be compliant with RDE standards starting from 2020 while non-SVMs have been required
to comply with RDE standards starting from 2017. We believe all new Ferrari models are fully compliant with RDE
requirements. In 2018, the European Commission issued Regulation 2018/1832 for the purpose of improving the emission
type approval tests and procedures for light passenger and commercial vehicles, including those for in-service conformity and
RDE and introducing devices for monitoring the consumption of fuel and electric energy. Under the EU Regulation, which
became applicable in January 2019, among other things, the extended documentation package provided by manufacturers to
type approval authorities to describe Auxiliary Emission Strategies (AES) is no longer required to be kept confidential, and
the decision whether to allow access to such documentation package is left to national authorities. In addition, the Regulation
introduced a new methodology for checking In-Service Conformity (ISC) which includes RDE tests. Compliance is tested
based on ISC checks performed by the manufacturer, the granting type approval authority (GTAA), and accredited
laboratories or technical services. Test results will be publicly available; in addition, the GTAA will publish annual reports on
the ISC checks performed, in order to improve transparency. The European Commission is currently working on another
amendment to the WLTP and RDE test procedures primarily to align them with the corresponding UNECE Regulations.
However, other EU-specific requirements are also anticipated.
On December 13, 2018, the General Court of the European Union issued a ruling on the action started in mid-2016
by the cities of Madrid, Brussels and Paris on the legality of the Commission introducing in the second RDE Regulation
(2016/646) RDE conformity factors (CF) which had the effect of increasing the emission limits. This led to the appeal
proceedings during 2019 against the General Court’s judgment that annulled the conformity factors in the RDE legislation.
The appeal is currently pending.
During 2019, the European Commission announced that it will propose more stringent air pollutant emissions
standards for combustion-engine vehicles and indicated 2021 as a target timeline. The European Commission created an
Advisory Group on Vehicle Emission Standards (AGVES), by joining all the relevant expert groups working on emission
legislation, in order to provide technical advice for the development of the post-EURO 6/VI emission standards for motor
vehicles. In March 2020, the European Commission launched a public consultation on its roadmap outlining the policy
options that it could pursue in revising the emission standards for light and heavy duty vehicles (Euro 7). This initiative is
part of the European Green Deal, advocating the European automotive industrys role as a leader in the global transition to
zero-emission vehicles. More stringent air pollutant emissions standards for combustion engine vehicles are expected to be
set by early 2022. Depending on the future regulatory developments, the technological solutions required to ensure
compliance with Euro 7 standards may affect customers expectations on performance, sound and driving experience. The
European Commission is also expected to assess and evaluate the current noise emissions limits, with the risk of more
stringent thresholds.
In the United States, the “Tier 3” Motor Vehicle Emission and Fuel Standards issued by the EPA were finalized in
April 2014. With Tier 3, the EPA has established more stringent vehicle emission standards, requiring significant reductions
in both tailpipe and evaporative emissions, including nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide and
particulate matter. The new standards are intended to harmonize with California’s standards for 2015-2025 model years (so
called “LEV3”) and will be implemented over the same timeframe as the U.S. federal CAFE and GHG standards for cars and
light trucks described above. Because of our status as an operationally independent SVM, Ferrari obtained a longer, more
flexible schedule for compliance with these standards under both the EPA and California Program.
In addition, California is moving forward with other stringent emission regulations for vehicles, including the Zero
Emission Vehicle regulation (ZEV). The ZEV regulation requires manufacturers to increase their sales of zero emissions
vehicles year on year, up to an industry average of approximately 15 percent of vehicles sold in the state by 2025. Because
we currently sell fewer than 4,500 units in California, we are exempt from these requirements.
71
Additional stringency of evaporative emissions also requires more advanced materials and technical solutions to
eliminate fuel evaporative losses, all for much longer warranty periods (up to 150,000 miles in the United States).
As already mentioned, the California Air Resources Board is working on the development of the ACC II regulations
and in December 2021 presented proposals to amend the Low Emission Vehicle (or LEV) Regulation to reduce both tailpipe
and evaporative emissions.
In response to severe air quality issues in Beijing and other major Chinese cities, in 2016 the Chinese government
published a more stringent emissions program (National 6), providing two different levels of stringency (6a and 6b) effective
starting from 2020. In July 2018 China’s central government launched a three-year plan to reduce air pollution, extending
targets for reducing lung-damaging airborne particulate pollution to the country’s 338 largest cities. This plan includes
reductions in steel and other industrial capacity, reducing reliance on coal, promoting electric vehicles and cleaner transport,
enhancing air-pollution warning systems, and increasing inspections of businesses for air pollution infractions. Several
autonomous regions and municipalities have implemented the requirements of the National 6 program even ahead of the
mandated deadlines.
During 2020, the Chinese Vehicle Emission Control Center (VECC) launched the “Pre-study on Next Stage
Emission Standards for Light duty Vehicles”, an ongoing research project expected to be finalized in a more stringent
emission program in the next years.
Several others regulations are also emerging to take into account the non-exhaust emissions and the environmental
impact of electric and hybrid vehicles components. Brake particulate emissions from passenger cars are currently not
regulated by any UNECE or regional Regulations. However, the representatives of some contracting parties (e.g. the
European Union, UK and Japan) are asking for the authorization to develop a new UN Global Technical Regulation (UN
GTR) on the topic of brake particulate emissions of light duty vehicle’s brake systems. The Informal Working Group on
Electric Vehicles and Environment of the United Nations proposed during 2021 a Global Technical Regulation on in-vehicle
battery durability. This regulation is applicable to both pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles and establishes provisions
regarding state-of-health monitors, minimum performance requirements and in-service conformity checks. A UN GTR is not
binding for certification purposes. However, it could be transposed into a UN Regulation or a regional regulation required for
the certification. The European Commission has expressed the will to include these GTR requirements in Euro 7 regulation.
Moreover, the European Commission published, in December 2020, a proposal for a new regulation on batteries and waste
batteries. This proposal will apply to all kind of batteries, including automotive and electric vehicle batteries, and establishes
requirements on sustainability, labelling, information and end-of-life. This regulation is currently under discussion.
To comply with current and future environmental rules, we may have to incur substantial capital expenditure and
research and development expenditure to upgrade products and manufacturing facilities, which would have an impact on our
cost of production and results of operation.
Vehicle safety
Vehicles sold in Europe are subject to vehicle safety regulations established by the EU or by individual member
states. In 2009, the EU established a simplified framework for vehicle safety, repealing more than 50 directives and replacing
them with a single regulation (the “General Safety Regulation”) aimed at incorporating relevant United Nations standards.
This incorporation process began in 2012. With respect to regulations on advanced safety systems, the EU now requires new
model cars from 2011 onwards to have electronic stability control systems and tire pressure monitoring systems. Regulations
on low-rolling resistance tires have also been introduced. The framework is reviewed periodically, and a revised version of
the General Safety Regulation is currently under discussion. In May 2018, the European Commission adopted a proposal for
a regulation to make certain vehicle safety measures mandatory. On March 25, 2019, the European Parliament, Council and
Commission reached a provisional political agreement on the revised General Safety Regulation. As of 2022, new safety
technologies will become mandatory in European vehicles, such as Advanced Emergency Braking, Emergency Lane Keeping
systems, crash-test improved safety belts, intelligent speed assistance and warning of driver drowsiness or distraction. In
2017, the EU published technical requirements for the Emergency Call (eCall) system, mandatory for new model cars starting
from 2018. Starting from July 1, 2019, new types of pure electric vehicle and new types of hybrid electric vehicle capable of
operating without propulsion from a combustion engine operating are required to be equipped with an Acoustic Vehicle
Alerting System (AVAS), and from July 1, 2021 for all new vehicles of such types, in order to alert pedestrians that a vehicle
is moving at low speeds. Starting from 2022, European authorities and United Nation’s contracting parties will enforce
regulations on cyber security and over the air updates. Starting from 2024, European authorities and United Nation’s
72
contracting parties will enforce amendments for the existing regulation on pedestrian protection, modifying the current test
procedures and enhancing the measurement methods on extended vehicle areas such as the windscreen. In 2020 the European
Commission issued its new digital strategy policies, which represent a priority in its regulatory agenda.  During 2021, several
draft proposals were issued in this respect, including in relation to Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI), Connected and
Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS), Artificial Intelligence (AI). During 2022 more legislative acts are forecasted,
including regarding access to vehicle data and automated driving).
Under U.S. federal law, all vehicles sold in the United States must comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (“FMVSS”) promulgated by the NHTSA. Manufacturers need to provide certification that all vehicles are in
compliance with those standards. In addition, if a vehicle contains a defect that is related to motor vehicle safety or does not
comply with an applicable FMVSS, the manufacturer must notify vehicle owners and provide a remedy at no cost to the
owner. Moreover, the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation Act (“TREAD”) requires
manufacturers to report certain information related to claims and lawsuits involving fatalities and injuries in the United States
if alleged to be caused by their vehicles, and other information related to client complaints, warranty claims, and field reports
in the United States, as well as information about fatalities and recalls outside the United States. Several new or amended
FMVSSs have taken or will take effect during the next few years in certain instances under phase-in schedules that require
only a portion of a manufacturer’s fleet to comply in the early years of the phase-in. These include an amendment to the side
impact protection requirements that added several new tests and performance requirements (FMVSS No. 214), an amendment
to roof crush resistance requirements (FMVSS No. 216), and a rule for ejection mitigation requirements (FMVSS No. 226).
U.S. federal law also sets forth minimum sound requirements for hybrid and electric vehicles (FMVSS No. 141).
On May 4, 2016, the NHTSA published a Consent Order Amendment to the November 3, 2015 Takata Consent
Order regarding a defect which may arise in the non-desiccated Takata passenger airbag inflators manufactured using phase
stabilized ammonium nitrate and mounted on certain vehicles, including Ferrari cars. As a result of this order and subsequent
orders by the NHTSA relating to the non-desiccated Takata passenger airbag inflators, in 2016 Ferrari initiated a global recall
campaign to include all Ferrari cars produced in all model years mounting such airbag inflators. The global recall campaign
was implemented based on priority groups and the timeline set by the NHTSA. Ferrari recognized provisions of €37 million
in 2016 for the estimated costs of the worldwide global Takata recall due to uncertainty of recoverability of the costs from
Takata. At December 31, 2021 the provision amounted to approximately €3 million, reflecting the current best estimate for
future costs related to the entire recall campaign to be carried out by the Group.
In 2017, the Chinese authorities published an updated version of the current local general safety standard which
allows China to become the driver market for the Event Data Recorder mandatory installation starting from 2021. Technical
requirements were defined in mid-2019, through the formal adoption of the local standard. Among the United Nations
contracting parties, China has been the first country to propose an early adoption of updated test procedures on high-voltage
batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles, which has been enforced starting in 2020. During 2021, the Chinese authorities
worked on several rulemaking initiatives related to active safety (e.g. ADAS, eCall), vehicle digitalization, cyber security and
software updates which are not yet mandatory for certification purposes and contribute to the regulatory uncertainty in this
market.
COVID-19 Pandemic Update
The global spread of the COVID-19 virus (“COVID-19”), which was declared a global pandemic by the World
Health Organization in March 2020, has led to governments around the world mandating various restrictive measures to
contain the pandemic, including social distancing, quarantine, “shelter in place” or similar orders, travel restrictions and
suspension of non-essential business activities. To date, several of these measures are still in place or were reintroduced at
various points in time as a result of further “waves” of the pandemic, although the scope and timing of restrictive measures
have varied greatly across jurisdictions.
As the virus spread and the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic became apparent, Ferrari’s leadership took actions
to protect and support its employees and communities, mitigate the impacts on the Group’s financial performance and
strengthen the Group’s liquidity and financial position.
The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group’s operations and the main actions taken by Ferrari in
response to the pandemic since its inception are summarized below:
With the safety and well-being of Ferrari employees in mind and considering government restrictions implemented
to combat the spread of the virus, production and deliveries to the distribution network were temporarily suspended
73
from the end of March until the beginning of May 2020. Although certain restrictions have remained in place in
some of the countries where Ferrari operates, since May 2020 substantially all Ferrari dealerships remained
operational and order collections continued as usual. The Group remains focused on maintaining a robust order book
going forward and on the careful management of our waiting lists in line with our strategy of controlled growth and
preservation of brand exclusivity.
To protect the health and well-being of its workforce and customers as Ferrari returned to regular business
operations, we successfully implemented our “Back on Track” program, which facilitated our return to full
production by May 8, 2020 through the implementation of various safety measures to combat and contain the spread
of the COVID-19 virus in the workplace.
Following various initiatives implemented by Ferrari since the start of the pandemic to support local communities,
the Group continues to provide logistical support as well as facilities at its Fiorano race track for the vaccination
campaign, where more than 230 thousand vaccine doses have been administered to date by the local medical
authority. This is in addition to the more than 115 thousand serological tests, rapid swabs tests and flu vaccinations
provided at the Fiorano race track since the start of the pandemic. With the commencement of the national
COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Italy, in mid-June 2021 Ferrari launched its own vaccination plan, dedicated to
its employees, their families and all the resident consultants and suppliers; planned alongside local Health
Authorities. The campaign resulted in a high number of vaccinations and is now completed. Ferrari also organized
an additional extraordinary COVID-19 vaccination campaign for employees, resident consultants and suppliers at
our screening center, with first doses administered on October 1, 2021 and second doses on October 29, 2021.
Ferrari also implemented a flu vaccination campaign in November 2021 and more recently a campaign for the
booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Although production and certain other activities, including Formula 1, our stores and our museums, were
temporarily suspended near the end of March 2020, the Group continued many other key business activities and
functions through remote working arrangements, and up to the date of this document it continues to take measures to
combat the spread of COVID-19 at its facilities while guaranteeing the possibility of remote work for those
employees whose job activity is compatible with such work arrangements.
In order to prudently manage potential liquidity or refinancing risks in the foreseeable future, the Group focused on
increasing and preserving its available liquidity and took actions to contain costs and capital expenditures in 2020,
while ensuring that all projects that are considered important for the continuing success of Ferrari and its future
development are maintained.
The Group decided to temporarily suspend its share repurchase program from the end of March 2020 to the
beginning of March 2021, when the program was restarted.
The start of the 2020 Formula 1 World Championship season was postponed from March to July 2020 and it
ultimately consisted of 17 Grand Prix events, five fewer than those originally scheduled. Additionally, most of the
races were held without public attendance, including Paddock Club and paddock guests. These circumstances
adversely impacted our financial results in 2020 due to a reduction of sponsorships and consequent reduced
commercial revenues from partners and the holder of Formula 1’s commercial rights (Formula One Management).
Although the 2021 season remained affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including changes in venues and several
races being held with a reduced number of spectators, the season ultimately consisted of a record number of 22
Grand Prix races.
Brand activities were also adversely impacted as a result of the temporary closure of Ferrari stores and museums in
the first quarter of 2020, which gradually reopened starting from May 2020 with appropriate safety measures in
place to protect our staff and customers. To date, in-store traffic has not yet recovered to pre-pandemic levels and
museums continue to be subject to certain restrictions as a result of local regulations, although overall brand
activities have increased in 2021 compared to 2020.
There have been no significant effects on the valuation of assets or liabilities and no increases in allowances for
credit losses as a result of COVID-19. Moreover, no material impairment indicators have been identified and there
have been no changes in accounting judgments or other significant accounting impacts relating to COVID-19.
No significant changes occurred in controls that materially affect internal control over financial reporting.
Ferrari’s leadership is continuously monitoring the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic as new information
becomes available as well as the related effects on the results of operations and financial position of the Group. Ferrari has
been gradually recovering from the effects of the COVID-19-related suspension of production and other business activities
that occurred primarily in 2020. The effects of the pandemic on Ferrari in 2021 were limited and, building on the otherwise
strong performance in a year in which the Group exceeded its guidance on all metrics, management looks to seize the
opportunities ahead and share its future plans on June 16, 2022 in Maranello at the Capital Markets Day.
74
The future impacts of COVID-19 on Ferrari’s results of operations and financial condition will depend on ongoing
developments in relation to the pandemic, including the success of the gradual release of containment measures and
vaccination programs worldwide, as well as the overall condition and outlook of the global economy. See also “Risk Factors
We are subject to risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic or similar public health crises that may materially and
adversely affect our business”.

Financial Overview
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS OF THE GROUP
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the
information included under Overview—History of the Company and the Consolidated Financial Statements included
elsewhere in this document. This discussion includes forward-looking statements, and involves numerous risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described under Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors”. Actual
results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Trends, Uncertainties and Opportunities
Shipments Our net revenues and results of operations depend on, among other things, the achievement of
shipment targets established in our budgets and business plans, which we define in line with our low volume strategy to
pursue controlled growth and preserve brand exclusivity. As part of this strategy, we seek to manage waiting lists in the
various markets in which we operate in order to respond optimally to relative levels of demand, based on our order books,
while being sensitive to local client expectations in those markets. In certain markets, we believe that waiting lists have
promoted the sense of exclusivity of our products and, accordingly, we monitor and manage waiting lists to maintain this
exclusivity while ensuring that we do not jeopardize client satisfaction.
In order to maintain our brand’s reputation of exclusivity among purchasers of our cars, we have continued our low
volume strategy while responding to growing demand and to demographic changes as the size and spending capacity of our
target clients has grown, gradually increasing annual shipments from 10,131 in 2019 to 11,155 in 2021, despite a decrease to
9,119 in 2020 driven by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in average annual shipments of 10,135 over the
three year period from 2019 to 2021. Our plans reflects a continuation of this strategy and a measured but significant increase
in shipments above current levels as we broaden our product portfolio to target a potentially larger customer base, while
preserving and enhancing the exclusivity and value of our brand.

We target our products to the upper end of the luxury car segment and buyers of our cars tend to belong to the
wealthiest segment of the population. As the size and spending capacity of our target client base has grown significantly in
recent years, our addressable market and the sense of exclusivity fostered by our low volume strategy have been further
enhanced. Given that our shipment strategy is flexible, we are able to adjust the geographical allocation of our shipments to
respond to changes in our key markets. The geographic allocation of our shipments and their mix by product is generally
impacted by the phase-in/phase-out pace of individual models, as well as the length of waiting lists and other market-specific
factors and conditions, including the potential for future growth. We expect that further growth in shipments will result
primarily from our deliberate targeting of new customer groups and modes of use through the expansion of our product range.
Research, Development and Product Lifecycle We engage in research and development activities aimed at
improving the design, performance, advanced technology, safety, efficiency and reliability of our cars. The first stage of
product development is the research phase. In this phase, we research the specifications of new models that we believe will
appeal to our clients and will be commercially viable. Costs we incur for the development of our cars and engines, as well as
their related components and systems, are recognized as an asset if, and only if, both of the following conditions under IAS
38 - Intangible Assets are met: (i) development costs can be measured reliably and (ii) the technical feasibility of the product,
estimated volumes and expected pricing all support the view that the development expenditure will generate future economic
benefits. All other research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs include all direct
and indirect costs that may be directly attributed to the development process.
The level of our capitalized development costs is primarily affected by the timing of updates and renewals to our
product range and, more recently, by our decision to integrate newly-introduced powertrain technologies (including hybrid
and electric) more broadly into our product portfolio. We continually launch new cars with enhanced technological
innovations and design improvements. From 2019 to 2021 we launched 13 new models in accordance with our plan to launch
15 new models by 2022 as announced at our 2018 Capital Markets Day, with the objective of maintaining our product
portfolio’s leading position and to respond quickly to market demand and technological breakthroughs. A clear example of
this is the integration of hybrid engine technology in several recent models, including the 296 GTB, which we launched in
2021 and features Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) technology and a new V6 engine, as well as the SF90 Stradale
and the SF90 Spider, our first series production models to feature PHEV technology, which were launched in 2019 and 2020,
respectively. Additionally, some of our past models, such as LaFerrari and the LaFerrari Aperta, also included hybrid
technology. Our range models typically have a lifecycle of four to five years, while our special series, Icona and limited
edition hypercars typically have shorter lifecycles. A portion of our research and development efforts are related to the
development of the various components used in our models, and in particular, hybrid, electric, electronic and mechanical
components. The new and advanced technological content integrated into our new models is in part driven by the output from
the research and development efforts for vehicle components. Our continued focus on component development has the
objective of improving performance and reducing the costs to develop new models. Capitalized development costs are
amortized on a straight-line basis from the start of production over the estimated lifecycle of the model or the useful life of
the related assets or components, which is generally between four and eight years.
We also incur research and development costs in connection with Formula 1 racing activities, including initiatives to
maximize the performance, efficiency and safety of our racing cars. While we develop these technologies for initial use in our
Formula 1 racing cars, we seek to transfer these technologies and components, where appropriate, to models in our current
and future product range. Technological developments and changes in the regulations of the Formula 1 World Championship
generally lead us to design, develop and construct a new racing car to be used for one year only and the costs incurred for the
design, development and construction of a new racing car are generally expensed as incurred and classified as research and
development costs in the income statement, unless the technology is expected to be used for more than one year and the costs
meet the capitalization criteria in IAS 38. Research and development costs for Formula 1 activities can vary from year to year
and may be difficult to predict because they are subject to, among other things, changes in racing regulations and the need to
respond to our car’s performance relative to other racing teams. Research and development costs are recognized net of
technology-related government incentives.
Under the recently effective Formula 1 financial regulations, a budget cap has been introduced to limit the amount of
certain types of costs (primarily relating to the development and manufacturing of the racing car chassis) that may be incurred
by the teams participating in the Formula 1 World Championship to a maximum of $147 million for the recently completed
2021 season and to a maximum of $142 million for the upcoming 2022 season, to be further reduced to $137 million for the
2023 season (assuming 23 Grand Prix races in both the 2022 and 2023 seasons).
77
As a result of our strategy to update and broaden our product range and significantly increase our efforts relating to
hybrid, electric and other advanced technologies, our overall research and development expenditure increased during the
period from 2019 to 2021. In particular, we made significant investments in product development in relation to both our
current product portfolio and models to be launched in future years, as well components. Notwithstanding actions taken in
2020 to contain costs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued to invest significantly in research and
development projects that are considered important for the continuing success of Ferrari and its future development.
The following table summarizes our research and development for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and

Car Profitability The relative profitability of the cars we sell tends to vary depending on a number of factors,
including exclusivity of the offering, technological advancement and content of the car, engine size and performance, level of
personalization and the geographic market in which it is sold. For example, our Icona models, which include the Ferrari
Daytona SP3 presented in November 2021 and the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 (our first Icona models, whose shipments
commenced in 2019), as well as our limited edition hypercars (the latest of which was the LaFerrari Aperta which concluded
shipments in 2018) have sales prices that are much higher than other models in the Ferrari product range in light of their
exclusivity, as well as the advanced technology and design integrated in these models. In general, more exclusive offerings
generate higher net revenues and provide better margins than those generated on shipments of range models and special series
cars, and therefore they benefit our results in the periods in which they are sold. We plan to launch our Icona models more
frequently compared to our limited edition hypercars, and we expect this to reduce the volatility in financial performance that
we have at times experienced historically due to the cadence of our limited edition hypercars.
We seek to increase the average price point of our range and special series models over time by continually
improving performance, technology and other features, as well as by leveraging the exclusivity of certain model offerings and
the scarcity value resulting from our low volume strategy. In particular, in recent years we have been increasing the price of
selected models in certain markets and introduced new models with higher average selling prices compared to the
corresponding predecessor models. Furthermore, as we continue to integrate advanced technologies more broadly into our car
portfolio, we expect that our average price point will continue to increase reflecting the superior technological content of our
new models.
Additionally, the interior and exterior technology and content of the cars we sell can be customized through our
personalization offerings, which can be further enhanced through additional bespoke specifications. Incremental revenues
from personalization are a particularly favorable factor of our pricing and product mix, due to the fact that we generate
incremental margin on each additional option selected by our clients.
Cost of Sales Cost of sales comprises expenses incurred in the manufacturing and distribution of cars and parts,
including engines sold to Maserati and engines rented to other Formula 1 racing teams. The cost of materials, components
and labor are the most significant elements of our cost of sales, while the remaining costs primarily include depreciation,
insurance and transportation costs. Cost of sales also includes warranty and product liability-related costs, which are
estimated and recorded at the time our cars are shipped. Interest expenses and other financial charges that are directly
attributable to our financial services activities, including provisions for risks and write-downs of financial assets, are also
reported in cost of sales.
78
We purchase a variety of components (including mechanical, electrical, electronic, aluminum, steel and plastic
components, as well as castings and tires), raw materials (the most significant of which is aluminum) and supplies, and we
incur costs for utilities, logistics and other services from numerous suppliers in the manufacture of our cars. Fluctuations in
the cost of sales are primarily related to the number of cars we produce and sell along with changes in car mix. Newer models
generally have more technologically advanced components and enhancements, including hybrid and electric technology, and
therefore have higher costs per unit; however we aim to price our cars appropriately to recover these costs. Our Icona models,
as well as our limited edition hypercars and one-off cars, also tend to have higher costs per unit, but these higher costs tend to
be more than offset by higher sales prices. Cost of sales are also affected by fluctuations of certain raw material prices,
although we typically seek to manage these costs and minimize their volatility through the use of long-term fixed price
purchase contracts.
In recent years we have made efforts to achieve technical and commercial efficiencies. In particular, technical
efficiencies focus on efforts to produce components using innovative and cost-effective materials, without compromising the
quality or performance of the components. In order to achieve these technical efficiencies, we perform in-house research and
development activities and we invite our suppliers to present us with innovative technical solutions that they have developed.
Commercial efficiencies have been achieved through negotiating discounts and entering into long-term contracts with
suppliers, who commit upfront to pass on to us a portion of the efficiencies they achieve in performing our supply contracts.
Furthermore, efforts are made to award new business to existing suppliers, where appropriate, in order to negotiate favorable
pricing. As cost of sales also includes depreciation of plant and equipment, cost of sales is affected by the number and timing
of product launches, which trigger the commencement of depreciation of plant and equipment acquired specifically for the
production of certain car models.
As further described in the “Results of Operations” section below, due to the effects of the temporary suspension of
production and shipments, as well as the changes to the calendar and format of the 2020 Formula 1 World Championship,
which were caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, costs as a percentage of net revenues were higher in 2020 compared to other
years. Furthermore, a portion of our costs are fixed in nature and we decided to pay all employees throughout the whole
suspension period and not accede to any government aid programs, therefore management actions to reduce costs only
partially compensated the decrease in net revenues experienced in 2020 as a result of the pandemic.
Economic Conditions and Macro EventsSignificant inflationary pressures appeared in 2021 in many of the
markets in which we operate and this trend has continued in early 2022. Although there were no material effects on our
results of operations in 2021 from the recent rise in inflation in certain goods and services, management is carefully
monitoring the inflation outlook, as well as any changes to interest rates, to appropriately address the potential impacts on our
operating costs and financial expenses, as well as our new order intake.
Additionally, as a result of the current geopolitical tensions and conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the recent
recognition by Russia of the independence of the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, in the Donbas region of
Ukraine, the governments of the United States, the European Union, Japan and other jurisdictions have recently announced
the imposition of sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia and the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, as well
as enhanced export controls on certain products and industries. Despite the fact that Ferrari has very limited commercial
interests in Russia, Ukraine and the areas of conflict, these and any additional sanctions and export controls, as well as any
counterresponses by the governments of Russia or other jurisdictions, could adversely affect, directly or indirectly, our supply
chain, with negative implications on availability and prices of raw materials, and our customers, as well as the global
financial markets and financial services industry.
Effects of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates We are affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates
through (i) the translation into Euro upon consolidation of foreign currency financial statements of our subsidiaries with
functional currencies other than Euro, which we refer to as the translation impact, and (ii) transactions by entities of the
Group in currencies other than their own functional currencies, which we refer to as the transaction impact.
Translation impacts arise in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements; in particular, we present our
consolidated financial statements in Euro, while the functional currency of each of our subsidiaries depends on the primary
economic environment of that entity. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we translate into Euro the assets and
liabilities of foreign subsidiaries expressed in local functional currency other than Euro using the foreign currency exchange
rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, while we translate income and expenses using the average foreign currency
exchange rates for the period presented. Accordingly, fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates of the functional
currencies of our subsidiaries against the Euro impacts our results of operations.

Transaction impacts arise when our Group entities conduct transactions in currencies other than their own functional
currency. Therefore, we are also exposed to foreign currency risks in connection with scheduled receipts and payments in
multiple currencies. Our costs are primarily denominated in Euro, while the majority of our revenues are generated in
currencies other than the Euro, including in U.S. Dollars, Pound Sterling, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan, Swiss Franc and, to a
lesser extent, certain other currencies.
In general, an appreciation of the U.S. Dollar, and the other currencies in which we operate, against the Euro would
positively impact our net revenues and results of operations.
Our risk management policies contemplate the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency
exchange rate risk. In particular, we have used derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges for the purpose of
hedging the foreign currency exchange rate at which a predetermined proportion of forecasted transactions denominated in
foreign currencies will occur. Accordingly, our results of operations have not been fully exposed to fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates. See Note 30 “Qualitative and Quantitative Information on Financial Risks” to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document for additional information related to our foreign currency exchange
rate risk policies.
Regulation We ship our cars throughout the world and are therefore subject to a variety of laws and regulations,
including tariffs. These laws regulate our cars, including their emissions, fuel consumption and safety, as well as our
manufacturing facilities. As we are currently a small volume manufacturer in certain jurisdictions, we benefit from certain
regulatory exemptions, including less stringent emissions caps. Developing, engineering and producing cars which meet
continuously evolving regulatory requirements, and can therefore be sold in the relevant markets, requires a significant effort
and expenditure of resources. See “Overview of Our Business—Regulatory Matters” for additional information.
Patent Box Benefit Income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 benefited from the
application of the Patent Box tax regime, which provides tax benefits for companies that generate income through the use of
intangible assets. Starting in 2020 the Group has applied the Patent Box tax regime for the period from 2020 to 2024 and
determined the income eligible for the Patent Box regime with recognition of the Patent Box tax benefit in three equal annual
installments.
Italian legislation recently enacted in 2021 will replace the current Patent Box tax regime with a 110% “super tax
deduction” for certain costs related to eligible intangible assets and provides for a specific transitional procedure between the
two regimes. The new legislation should not have any impact on income taxes of the Group for the year ended December 31,
2021 and management will continue to follow updates in the legislation as they become known.
For additional information see Note 10 “Income taxes” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere
in this document.
Trademark Step-upIn the fourth quarter of 2020, the Group benefited from the measures introduced in Italy by
the art. 110 of the Law Decree n. 104/2020, converted in the Law n.126/2020, enacting “Urgent measures to support and
relaunch the economy” which reopened the voluntary step up of tangible and intangible assets, with the application of a
substitutive tax rate (3%). In particular, Ferrari S.p.A. benefited from the one-off partial step-up of its trademark for tax
purposes, which resulted in the recognition in 2020 of deferred tax assets for €84 million and a substitute tax liability for €9
million, resulting in a net tax benefit of €75 million. There was no cash effect in 2020 from the step-up of the trademark. The
deferred tax asset will be utilized over a 50-year period (recently extended from the previous 18 years following the approval
of Law 234/2021; see also Note 10 “Income taxes” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this
document) and the substitute tax will be paid in three equal annual installments starting in 2021.
Management considers this item significant in nature but non-recurring and not reflective of ongoing operational
activities, therefore the positive impact of €75 million has been excluded in the calculation of Adjusted Net Profit and
Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share for 2020.
Asset-backed Financing (Securitizations)We pursue a strategy of autonomous financing for our financial
services activities in the United States, which involves limiting or reducing dependency on intercompany funding and
80
increasing the portion of self-liquidating debt with various securitization transactions. At December 31, 2021 and 2020 our
funding under securitization programs amounted to €900 million and €761 million, respectively.
For additional information see Note 24 “Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this
document.
Maserati Engine Volumes We have been producing engines for Maserati since 2003. The V8 engines that we
historically produced and continue to produce for Maserati are variants of Ferrari families of engines and are mounted on
Maserati’s highest performing models. We also produce a V6 family of engines exclusively for Maserati. We currently have a
multi-year arrangement with Maserati to provide V6 engines up to 2023. Net revenues generated from sales of engines to
Maserati depend on the orders received from Maserati, which in turn depend on Maserati production volumes and product
launches. Our net revenues from engines increased in 2021 compared to 2020 as a result of higher orders received from
Maserati, although they remain below 2019 levels.
Results of Operations
Consolidated Results of Operations – 2021 compared to 2020 and 2020 compared to 2019
The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the
year ended December 31, 2020, and for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31,
2019. The presentation includes line items as a percentage of net revenues for the respective periods presented to facilitate
year-over-year comparisons.
For the year ended December 31, 2020 our costs as a percentage of net revenues and our EBIT and EBIT margin
were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a seven-week production and delivery suspension in the
first half of 2020 (during which we decided to pay all employees throughout the whole suspension period and not accede to
any government aid programs) as well as changes to the format of the 2020 Formula 1 World Championship.

(1)Includes net revenues generated from shipments of our cars, any personalization generated on these cars, as well as sales of spare parts.
(2)Includes net revenues generated from the sale of engines to Maserati for use in their cars and from the rental of engines to other Formula 1 racing
teams.
(3)Includes net revenues earned by our Formula 1 racing team through sponsorship agreements and our share of the Formula 1 World Championship
commercial revenues, as well as net revenues generated through the Ferrari brand, including merchandising, licensing and royalty income.
(4)Primarily relates to financial services activities, management of the Mugello racetrack and other sports-related activities.
2021 compared to 2020
Net revenues for 2021 were €4,271 million, an increase of €811 million, or 23.4 percent (an increase of 26.0 percent
on a constant currency basis), from €3,460 million for 2020.
The increase in net revenues was attributable to the combination of (i) a €738 million increase in cars and spare
parts, (ii) a €38 million increase in engines, and (iii) a €41 million increase in sponsorship, commercial and brand, partially
offset by a €6 million decrease in other revenues.
Cars and spare parts
Net revenues generated from cars and spare parts were €3,573 million for 2021, an increase of €738 million, or 26.0
percent, from €2,835 million for 2020.
The increase in net revenues from cars and spare parts was primarily attributable to higher car volumes, positive mix
and personalizations, partially offset by negative foreign currency exchange impact (mainly relating to the U.S. Dollar and
the Japanese Yen). Shipments in 2020 were impacted by the seven-week production and delivery suspension in the first half
of the year caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Overall, shipments increased by 2,036 cars, or 22.3 percent, driven by a 34.6 percent increase in shipments of our
V8 models while shipments of our V12 models decreased by 16.1 percent, mainly due to the 812 Superfast, which was
phased out during 2021. In particular, the increase in shipments was driven by the F8 family, together with the Ferrari Roma
and the SF90 Stradale, which both reached global distribution in the second quarter of 2021, as well as the ramp up of the
Ferrari Portofino M and the SF90 Spider, partially offset by the Ferrari Portofino, the 488 Pista family and the 812 Superfast.
Additionally, deliveries of the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 increased in 2021 compared 2020, in line with planning, and the
models are reaching the end of production. The positive mix impact was driven by the SF90 family and the Ferrari Monza
SP1 and SP2, as well as higher revenues from personalizations.
All geographic regions positively contributed in the year, with increases in revenues of: (i) €251 million in EMEA,
(ii) €217 million in Americas, (iii) €137 million in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and (iv) €133 million in Rest of
APAC. The performance in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan was boosted by the launch of new models and the
comparison versus the prior year, which was negatively impacted by the decision to deliberately accelerate client deliveries in
2019 in advance of new emissions regulations. All changes include the effects of foreign currency hedge transactions.
82
Engines
Net revenues generated from engines were €189 million for 2021, an increase of €38 million, or 25.7 percent, from
€151 million for 2020. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in engines sold to Maserati and, to a lesser extent,
higher revenues from the rental of engines to other Formula 1 racing teams.
Sponsorship, commercial and brand
Net revenues generated from sponsorship, Formula 1 commercial agreements and brand management activities were
€431 million for 2021, an increase of €41 million, or 10.4 percent, from €390 million for 2020. The increase was primarily
attributable to Formula 1 racing activities, driven by the more favorable Formula 1 calendar compared to 2020, and brand-
related activities, partially offset by a lower prior year Formula 1 ranking.
Other
Other net revenues were €78 million for 2021, a decrease of €6 million, or 7.4 percent, from €84 million for 2020.
2020 compared to 2019
Net revenues for 2020 were €3,460 million, a decrease of €306 million, or 8.1 percent (a decrease of 8.9 percent on a
constant currency basis), from €3,766 million for 2019.
The change in net revenues was attributable to the combination of (i) a €91 million decrease in cars and spare parts,
(ii) a €47 million decrease in engines, (iii) a €148 million decrease in sponsorship, commercial and brand, and (iv) a €20
million decrease in other revenues.
Cars and spare parts
Net revenues generated from cars and spare parts were €2,835 million for 2020, a decrease of €91 million, or 3.1
percent, from €2,926 million for 2019.
The decrease in net revenues was primarily attributable to lower volumes as well as their personalizations, mainly
due to the seven-week production suspension in the first half of 2020 and the temporary closure of certain dealerships caused
by the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by positive mix driven by deliveries of the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2.
Overall, shipments decreased by 1,012 cars, or 10.0 percent, compared to the prior year, driven by the COVID-19
pandemic, with a gradual recovery of production and shipments in the second half of 2020. Shipments of our V8 models
decreased by 10.3 percent while our V12 models decreased by 9.0. The decrease in shipments also reflects the phase-out of
the Ferrari Portofino as well as the Ferrari 488 Pista and Ferrari 488 Pista Spider gradually approaching the end of their
lifecycles, partially offset by the ramp up of the Ferrari F8 Tributo, the Ferrari F8 Spider, and the 812 GTS which reached
global distribution, as well as the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, which were delivered as originally scheduled in 2020. The
deliveries of the SF90 Stradale started in the fourth quarter of 2020 following the industrialization delays experienced and
subsequently resolved. Deliveries of the Ferrari Roma also commenced in the fourth quarter.
The €91 million decrease in net revenues was composed of (i) a €170 million increase in EMEA, (ii) a €143 million
decrease in Americas (including positive foreign currency translation impact driven by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar
compared to the Euro), (iii) a €146 million decrease in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and (iv) a €28 million
increase in the Rest of APAC. Net revenues by geography were impacted by the deliberate geographic allocations driven by
the phase-in/phase-out pace of individual models, which primarily favored EMEA in 2020. The decrease in Mainland China,
Hong Kong and Taiwan was primarily impacted by the decision to accelerate client deliveries in the first half of 2019, in
addition to the effects of COVID-19 in 2020.
Engines
Net revenues generated from engines were €151 million for 2020, a decrease of €47 million, or 24.0 percent, from
€198 million for 2019. The decrease was attributable to lower shipments of engines to Maserati and lower revenues from the
83
rental of engines to other Formula 1 racing teams driven by the reduced number of races in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic.
Sponsorship, commercial and brand
Net revenues generated from sponsorship, Formula 1 commercial agreements and brand management activities were
€390 million for 2020, a decrease of €148 million, or 27.5 percent, from €538 million for 2019. The decrease was primarily
attributable to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in a reduced number of Formula 1 races in 2020 and a
decrease in-store traffic and museum visitors.
Other
Other net revenues were €84 million for 2020 a decrease of €20 million, or 19.5 percent, from €104 million for
2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced sports-related activities and the cancellation of the Moto GP event
at the Mugello racetrack, the effects of which were only partially offset by the first ever Formula 1 Grand Prix held at the
Mugello racetrack.

Cost of sales for 2021 was €2,081 million, an increase of €395 million, or 23.4 percent, from €1,686 million for
2020. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of sales was 48.7 percent for both 2021 and 2020.
The increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to higher car volumes and a change in product mix, as well as
higher Maserati engine volumes and costs for other supporting activities.
2020 compared to 2019
Cost of sales for 2020 was €1,686 million, a decrease of €119 million, or 6.6 percent, from €1,805 million for 2019.
As a percentage of net revenues, cost of sales increased from 47.9 percent in 2019 to 48.7 percent in 2020.
The decrease in cost of sales was primarily attributable to a decrease in car volumes due to COVID-19 pandemic
and lower engine volumes produced for Maserati, partially offset by higher depreciation. Cost of sales in 2020 includes the
full cost of employees’ paid days of absence during the COVID-19-related production suspension.

2021 compared to 9.7 percent in 2020.
84
The increase was mainly attributable to communication and marketing activities related to models unveiled in 2021,
as well as lifestyle events and costs to support the organic growth of the business.
2020 compared to 2019
Selling, general and administrative costs for 2020 were €336 million, a decrease of €7 million, or 2.1 percent, from
€343 million for 2019. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative costs were 9.7 in 2020 compared
to 9.1 percent in 2019.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs was primarily attributable to the deployment of significant
cost containment actions, partially offset by Formula 1 racing activities.

million for 2020. As a percentage of net revenues, research and development costs were 18.0 percent in 2021 compared to
20.4 percent in 2020.
The increase in research and development costs was primarily attributable to an increase in research and
development costs expensed of €47 million driven by product innovation and Formula 1 activities, and comparison was
impacted by higher technology incentives in the prior year, as well as an increase in amortization of capitalized development
costs of €14 million driven by a general increase in capitalized development costs in recent years in line with our strategy to
update and broaden our product range and significantly increase our efforts in relation to hybrid and other advanced
technologies.
2020 compared to 2019
Research and development costs for 2020 were €707 million, an increase of €8 million, or 1.2 percent, from €699
million for 2019. As a percentage of net revenues, research and development costs were 20.4 percent in 2020 compared to
18.6 percent in 2019.
The increase of €8 million in research and development costs during the period was primarily attributable to an
increase in amortization of capitalized development costs of €40 million driven by a general increase in capitalized
development costs in recent years in line with our strategy to update and broaden our product range and significantly increase
our efforts relating to hybrid and other advanced technologies, partially offset by lower research and development costs
expensed during the period of €32 million, including as a result of technology-related government incentives recognized in
2020.
We continued to invest in research and development projects important for the continuing success of Ferrari and its
future development, despite certain actions taken in 2020 to contain costs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

2021 compared to 2020
EBIT for 2021 was €1,075 million, an increase of €359 million, or 50.2 percent, from €716 million for 2020. As a
percentage of net revenues, EBIT increased from 20.7 percent in 2020 to 25.2 percent in 2021.
The increase in EBIT was primarily attributable to the combined effects of (i) positive volume impact of €220
million, (ii) positive product mix impact of €212 million, (iii) an increase in research and development costs of €61 million,
(iv) an increase in selling, general and administrative costs of €12 million, (v) positive contribution of €77 million driven by
Formula 1 racing activities reflecting the more favorable Formula 1 calendar compared to 2020 as well as higher contribution
from brand-related activities, Maserati engines and other supporting activities, partially offset by a lower prior year Formula
1 ranking, and (vi) negative foreign currency exchange impact of €77 million (including foreign currency hedging
instruments) primarily driven by the strengthening of the Euro compared to the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen.
The positive mix impact was driven by the SF90 family, the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, and personalizations,
partially offset by the ramp up of the Ferrari Roma and the Portofino M and reduced contribution of the 812 Superfast, which
was phased out during 2021.
2020 compared to 2019
EBIT for 2020 was €716 million, a decrease of €201 million, or 21.9 percent, from €917 million for 2019. As a
percentage of net revenues, EBIT decreased from 24.4 percent in 2019 to 20.7 percent in 2020.
The decrease in EBIT was attributable to the combined effects of (i) negative volume impact of €126 million, (ii)
positive product mix and price impact of €130 million, (iii) an increase in industrial costs of €58 million, including higher
depreciation, (iv) an increase in research and development costs of €8 million (net of the benefit from technology-related
government incentives), (v) a decrease in selling, general and administrative costs of €7 million, (vi) negative contribution of
€184 million due to the impacts of COVID-19 on the Formula 1 racing calendar, lower traffic for brand related activities and
lower engine sales to Maserati, and (vii) positive foreign currency exchange impact of €38 million (including foreign
currency hedging instruments) primarily driven by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen compared to the
Euro.
86
The negative volume impact was primarily attributable to the temporary suspension of shipments for seven weeks
during the first half of 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of which were partially recovered in the
second half of the year. The positive product mix and price impact was primarily attributable to deliveries of the Ferrari
Monza SP1 and SP2 as well as an otherwise richer product mix, partially offset by fewer shipments of the FXX-K EVO and
lower contributions from our personalization programs, which are correlated to the decrease in volumes.

The decrease in net financial expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in net foreign exchange losses,
including hedging costs.
2020 compared to 2019
Net financial expenses for 2020 increased to €49 million compared to €42 million for 2019.
The increase in net financial expenses was primarily attributable to (i) a decrease in the fair value of investments
held by the Group (compared to an increase in the fair value of investments held by the Group 2019), and (ii) an increase in
net foreign exchange losses, including the net costs of hedging.

2021 compared to 2020
Income tax expense for 2021 was €209 million, an increase of €151 million, compared to €58 million for 2020.
Income taxes for both years benefited from the application of the Patent Box regime. See Note 10 “Income Taxes” to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document for additional information related to the Patent Box
tax regime in Italy.
The increase in income tax expense was primarily attributable to the combined effects of (i) an increase in profit
before taxes and (ii) a net tax benefit recognized in 2020 from the partial step up of trademarks for tax purposes amounting to
€75 million, as further described below.
The effective tax rate was 20.1 percent in 2021 compared to 8.7 percent in 2020. The increase in the effective tax
rate was primarily attributable to the effects of a net tax benefit recognized in 2020 from the voluntary, partial step-up of
trademarks for tax purposes, as further described below.
In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Group benefited from the measures introduced in Italy by the art. 110 of the Law
Decree n. 104/2020, converted in the Law n.126/2020, enacting “Urgent measures to support and relaunch the economy
which reopened the voluntary step up of tangible and intangible assets, with the application of a substitutive tax rate (3%). In
particular, Ferrari S.p.A. benefited from the one-off partial step-up of its trademark for tax purposes, which resulted in the
recognition in 2020 of deferred tax assets for €84 million and a substitute tax liability for €9 million, resulting in a net tax
benefit of €75 million. There was no cash effect in 2020 from the step-up of the trademark. The deferred tax asset will be
utilized over a 50-year period (following the introduction of the 2022 Italian budget law (Law 234/2021) which provides for
an extension from 18 years to 50 years of the amortization period for tax purposes for any trademarks and goodwill that
benefited from the step-up regime) and the substitute tax will be paid in three equal annual installments starting in 2021. The
87
net benefit has been treated as an adjusting item in the calculation of Adjusted Net Profit and Adjusted Basic and Diluted
Earnings per Common Share for 2020.
2020 compared to 2019
Income tax expense for 2020 was €58 million, a decrease of €118 million, or 67.1 percent compared to €176 million
for 2019.
The decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to the combined effects of (i) a tax benefit from the
partial step up of trademarks for tax purposes amounting to €75 million, as further described above, (ii) a decrease in profit
before taxes, and (iii) the effects of deductions for eligible research and development costs. Income taxes for both years
benefited from the application of the Patent Box regime.
The effective tax rate was 8.7 percent in 2020 compared to 20.2 percent in 2019. The decrease in the effective tax
rate was primarily attributable to the effects of the net tax benefit recognized in 2020 from the trademark step-up as described
above, and to a lesser extent, the effects of deductions for eligible research and development costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Overview
We require liquidity in order to fund our operations and meet our obligations. Short-term liquidity is required,
among others, to purchase raw materials, parts, components and utilities for car production, as well as to fund personnel
expenses and other operating costs. In addition to our general working capital and operational needs, we require cash for
capital investments to support continuous product range renewal and expansion and, more recently, for research and
development activities to transition our product portfolio to hybrid and electric technology. We also make investments to,
among others, enhance manufacturing efficiency, improve capacity, implement sustainability initiatives, ensure
environmental compliance and carry out maintenance activities. We fund our capital expenditure primarily with cash
generated from our operating activities.
We centrally manage our operating cash management, liquidity and cash flow requirements with the objective of
ensuring efficient and effective management of our funds. We believe that our cash generation together with our available
liquidity, including committed credit lines granted from primary financial institutions, will be sufficient to meet our
obligations and fund our business and capital expenditures.
See the “Net Debt and Net Industrial Debt” section below for additional details relating to our liquidity.
Cyclical Nature of Our Cash Flows
Our working capital is subject to month to month fluctuations due to, among other things, production and sales
volumes, our financial services activities, the timing of capital expenditures and, to a lesser extent, tax payments. In
particular, our inventory levels generally increase in the periods leading up to the launch of new models, during the phase out
of existing models when we build up spare parts, and at the end of the second quarter when our inventory levels are generally
higher to support the summer plant shutdown.
We generally receive payment for cars between 30 and 40 days after the car is shipped (or earlier when sales
financing schemes are utilized by us or by our dealers) while we generally pay most suppliers between 60 and 90 days after
we receive the raw materials, components or other goods and services. Additionally, we also receive advance payments from
our customers, mainly for our Icona and limited edition models. We maintain sufficient inventory of raw materials and
components to ensure continuity of our production lines, however delivery of most raw materials and components takes place
monthly or more frequently in order to minimize inventories. The manufacture of one of our cars typically takes between 30
and 45 days, depending on the level of automation of the relevant production line, and the car is generally shipped to our
dealers three to six days following the completion of production, although we may warehouse cars in local markets for longer
periods of time to ensure prompt deliveries in certain regions. As a result of the above, including the advances received from
customers for certain car models, we tend to receive payment for cars shipped before or around the time we are required to
make payments for the raw materials, components or other materials used in manufacturing the cars.
Our investments for capital expenditure and research and development are, among other factors, influenced by the
timing and number of new models launches. Our development costs, as well as our other investments in capital expenditure,
generally peak in periods when we develop a significant number of new models to renew or expand our product range. Our
investments in research and development are also influenced by the timing of research costs for our Formula 1 activities, for
which expenditure in a normal season is generally higher in the first and last quarters of the year, and otherwise depends on
the evolution of the applicable Formula 1 technical regulations, as well as the number and cadence of races during the course
of the racing season. We are currently undergoing a period of structurally higher capital spending as we broaden our car
architectures and work on the transition to hybrid and electric technologies. We also continue to make significant capital
investments by prioritizing capital projects that are considered important for the continuing success of Ferrari and its future
development, including the acquisition in 2020 and, to a lesser extent, in 2021, of tracts of land adjacent to our facilities in
Maranello as part of our expansion plans.
The payment of income taxes also affects our cash flows. We typically pay the first tax advance payment in the
second quarter of the year and the remaining portion in the third and/or fourth quarters. Our tax expense and tax payments in
2021, 2020 and 2019 benefited from applying the Patent Box tax regime. See Note 10 “Income Taxes” to the Consolidated
89
Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document for additional information related to the Patent Box tax regime in
Italy.

For the year ended December 31, 2021 cash and cash equivalents held by the Group decreased by €18 million
compared to an increase of €464 million for year ended December 31, 2020. The difference in the net change in cash and
cash equivalents in 2021 compared to 2020 of €482 million was primarily attributable to the combined effects of:
(i)the full repayment of a bond for €501 million in January 2021 (including a principal amount of €500 million and
interest of €1 million);
(ii)lower cash proceeds from the issuance of bonds and notes of €491 million (net proceeds of €149 million in 2021
from the issuance of the 2032 Notes (as defined below) compared to €640 million in 2020 from the issuance of the
2025 Bond (as defined below);
(iii)higher share repurchases of €101 million (€231 million in 2021 compared to €130 million in 2020 as the share
repurchase program was restarted on March 11, 2021 following the decision to temporarily suspend the program on
March 30, 2020 to preserve liquidity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic); and
(iv)higher investments in intangible assets of €33 million to support the development of our current and future product
offering.
partially offset by:
(i)an increase in EBITDA of €388 million;
(ii)an increase of €123 million in net proceeds from bank borrowings and other financial institutions;
(iii)a positive impact of €62 million from working capital and other operating assets and liabilities, and
(iv)lower dividends paid to owners of the parent of 48 million (€160 million paid in 2021 compared to 208 million paid
in 2020, primarily driven by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic).
90
2020 compared to 2019
For the year ended December 31, 2020 the total change in cash and cash equivalents was €464 million compared to
€104 million for year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in cash generation of €360 million in 2020 compared to 2019
was primarily attributable to:
(i)net cash proceeds of €640 million received in 2020 from the issuance of the 2025 Bond; and
(ii)lower share repurchases of €257 million (€130 million in 2020 compared to €387 million in 2019) driven by our
decision to temporarily suspend the share repurchase program in March 2020 to preserve liquidity as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic;
partially offset by:
(i)a decrease in advances received for the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 (which were primarily received in 2019 ahead of
shipments, including for cars actually delivered in 2020);
(ii)the adverse impacts on our cash flows from operating activities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the
temporary suspension of production and deliveries for seven weeks during the first half of 2020, as well as higher
inventories reflecting efforts to mitigate potential supply chain issues;
(iii)an increase in income taxes paid, and
(iv)lower net proceeds from our securitization programs.
Please refer to the following discussion and to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows included elsewhere in this
document for additional information related to our cash flows.
A summary of the cash flows from or used in operating, investing and financing activities for each year is provided

Our total capital expenditures in intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2021 were €385 million (€352
million and €354 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively).
The most significant investments relate to externally acquired and internally generated development costs. In
particular, we make such investments to support the development of our current and future product offering. The capitalized
development costs primarily include materials and personnel costs relating to engineering, design and development activities
focused on content enhancement of existing cars and new models, including to broaden our product range and our ongoing
investments in hybrid and electric technology and the development of components, which are necessary to provide continuing
performance upgrades to our sports car customers and to help us capture the preferences of the urban, affluent purchasers of
GT cars whom we are increasingly targeting as we transition our product portfolio to hybrid and electric technology. We
continually invest in product development to ensure we can quickly and efficiently respond to market demand and
technological breakthroughs, as well as to maintain our position at the top of the luxury performance sports cars market.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, we invested €363 million in externally acquired and internally generated
development costs, of which €229 million related to the development of models to be launched in future years and €134
million primarily related to the development of our current product portfolio and components.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, we invested €320 million in externally acquired and internally generated
development costs, of which €244 million primarily related to the development of models to be launched in future years and,
to a much lesser extent, to investments required for new technical regulations applicable for the 2022 to 2025 Formula 1
seasons, and €76 million related to the development of models in our current product portfolio and car components.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, we invested €330 million in externally acquired and internally generated
development costs, of which €145 million related to development of models to be launched in future years and €185 million
primarily related to the development of our current product portfolio as well as components.
95
Property, plant and equipment
Our total capital expenditures in property, plant and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2021 were €365
million (€382 million and €352 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively).
Our most significant investments generally relate to plant, machinery and equipment, which amounted to €123
million for the year ended December 31, 2021 (€115 million and €176 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and
2019, respectively) as well as advances and assets under construction, which amounted to €187 million for the year ended
December 31, 2021 (€215 million and €142 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively). Our
main investments primarily related to industrial tools needed for the production of cars and investments in car production
lines (including those for models to be launched in future years), as well as investments related to our personalization
programs and engine assembly lines. Investments in advances and assets under construction and industrial buildings for the
periods presented reflect our focus on the hybridization and broadening of our product range and supporting future model
launches, including our acquisition of tracts of land adjacent to our facilities in Maranello as part of our expansion plans,
which amounted to €42 million in 2021 (cumulative acquisitions of land since the start of 2019 amounted to €117 million).
At December 31, 2021, the Group had contractual commitments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment
amounting to €74 million (€101 million at December 31, 2020).

We monitor and evaluate our operating and financial performance using several non-GAAP financial measures
including: Net Debt, Net Industrial Debt, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities, EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted Net Profit, Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share, as well as a number
of financial metrics measured on a constant currency basis. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide
useful and relevant information to management and investors regarding our performance and improve our ability to assess
our financial performance and financial position. They also provide us with comparable measures that facilitate
management’s ability to identify operational trends, as well as make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations
and other operational decisions. While similar measures are widely used in the industry in which we operate, the financial
measures we use may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies nor are they intended to
be substitutes for measures of financial performance or financial position as prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Net Debt and Net Industrial Debt
Due to different sources of cash flows used for the repayment of debt between industrial activities and financial
services activities, and the different business structure and leverage implications, Net Industrial Debt, together with Net Debt,
are the primary measures used by us to analyze our capital structure and financial leverage. We believe the presentation of
Net Industrial Debt aids management and investors in their analysis of the Group’s financial position and financial
performance and to compare the Group’s financial position and financial performance with that of other companies. Net
Industrial Debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents (Net Debt), further adjusted to exclude the debt and
cash and cash equivalents related to our financial services activities (Net Debt of Financial Services Activities).
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Net Debt and Net Industrial Debt at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

On July 29, 2021, the Company issued 0.91 percent senior notes due January 2032 (“2032 Notes”) through a private
placement to certain US institutional investors, having a principal of €150 million. The net proceeds from the issuance
amounted to €149,495 thousand, and the yield to maturity, on an annual basis, equals the nominal coupon rates of the Notes.
The Notes are primarily used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of capital expenditures.
On May 27, 2020, the Company issued 1.5 percent coupon notes due May 2025 (“2025 Bond”), having a principal
of €650 million. The notes were issued at a discount for an issue price of 98.898 percent, resulting in net proceeds of €640
million after related expenses and a yield to maturity of 1.732 percent. The bond was admitted to trading on the regulated
market of Euronext Dublin.
For additional information relating to our total debt, see Note 24 “Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included elsewhere in this document.

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

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to €1,344 million at December 31, 2021 compared to €1,362 million at
December 31, 2020. See “Cash Flows” above for further details.
Approximately 85 percent of our cash and cash equivalents were denominated in Euro at December 31, 2021
(approximately 88 percent at December 31, 2020). Our cash and cash equivalents denominated in currencies other than the
Euro are available mostly to Ferrari S.p.A. and certain subsidiaries which operate in areas other than Europe. Cash held in
such countries may be subject to transfer restrictions depending on the jurisdictions in which these subsidiaries operate. In
particular, cash held in China (including in foreign currencies), which amounted to €90 million at December 31, 2021 (€56
million at December 31, 2020), is subject to certain repatriation restrictions and may only be repatriated as a repayment of
payables, or debt, or as dividends or capital distributions. We do not currently believe that such transfer restrictions have an
adverse impact on our ability to meet our liquidity requirements.
The following table sets forth an analysis of the currencies in which our cash and cash equivalents were
denominated at the dates presented.

Cash collected from the settlement of receivables under securitization programs is subject to certain restrictions
regarding its use and is primarily applied to repay principal and interest of the related funding. Such cash amounted to €48
million at December 31, 2021 (€37 million at December 31, 2020).
Total available liquidity
Total available liquidity (defined as cash and cash equivalents plus undrawn committed credit lines) at December 31,
2021 was €2,020 million (€2,062 million at December 31, 2020).

document.
To prudently manage potential liquidity or refinancing risks as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in April 2020
the Group increased its undrawn committed credit lines by securing an additional amount of €350 million, doubling the total
committed credit lines available and undrawn to €700 million. In March 2021 the Group cancelled a credit line of €100
million and simultaneously replaced it with a new credit line for €150 million with a term of 23 months. Subsequently, in
April 2021, the Group replaced an uncommitted credit line of $50 million, which was terminated, with a new committed
credit line for $100 million with a term of 24 months. At December 31, 2021 the line had been drawn down for $70 million
(€62 million) representing the only committed credit line that has been drawn down by the Group. The new credit line 
replaces the funding previously provided by one of securitization programs in the US for funding of up to $110 million that
expired in April 2021. In October 2021, a committed credit line previously negotiated in April 2020 for €100 million expired.
At December 31, 2021 the Group had total committed credit lines available and undrawn of €676 million (€700 million at
December 31, 2020).
Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities
Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities are two of our primary key performance indicators to
measure the Group’s performance. These measures are presented by management to aid investors in their analysis of the
Group’s financial performance and to compare the Group’s financial performance with that of other companies. Free Cash
Flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities less investments in property, plant and equipment (excluding right-of-
use assets recognized during the period in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases) and intangible assets. Free Cash Flow from
Industrial Activities is defined as Free Cash Flow adjusted to exclude the operating cash flow from our financial services
activities (Free Cash Flow from Financial Services Activities). Prior to 2020, we defined Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow
from Industrial Activities without excluding from investments in property, plant and equipment the right-of-use assets
recognized during the period in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases. Applying the current definition of Free Cash Flow and
Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities to 2019 would result in an immaterial difference compared to the figures presented
below.
The following table sets forth our Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the years ended
December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Cash Flow see “Cash Flows” above.

Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was €642 million, an increase of
€471 million compared to €171 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in Free Cash Flow from
Industrial Activities in 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily attributable to an increase in EBITDA and a positive change in
cash flows from other operating assets and liabilities driven by the collection of advances from the 812 Competizione and
812 Competizione A, partially offset by the reversal of advances for the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 and higher investments
to support the development of our current and future product offering and higher taxes paid.
Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was positive €171 million  a
decrease of €504 million compared to €675 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in Free Cash Flow
from Industrial Activities was primarily driven by a decrease in advances received for the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 (which
were primarily received in 2019 ahead of shipments, including for cars actually delivered in 2020), the adverse impacts on
our EBITDA as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and higher inventories at year end reflecting efforts to mitigate potential
supply chain issues, as well as an increase in income taxes paid. Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities in 2019 benefited
from advances collected ahead of shipments of the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, including for cars actually delivered in 2020.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as net profit before income tax expense, net financial expenses and amortization and
depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA as adjusted for certain income and costs, which are significant in
nature, expected to occur infrequently, and that management considers not reflective of ongoing operational activities.
EBITDA is presented by management to aid investors in their analysis of the performance of the Group and to assist investors
in the comparison of the Group’s performance with that of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is provided in order to
present how the underlying business has performed prior to the impact of the adjusting items, which may obscure the
underlying performance and impair comparability of results between periods.
The following table sets forth the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31,
2021, 2020 and 2019, and provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to net profit. There were no adjustments
impacting Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented.

Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share
Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share represents earnings per share, as adjusted for certain

Constant Currency Information
The “Results of Operations” discussion above includes information about our net revenues on a constant currency
basis, which excludes the effects of foreign currency translation from our subsidiaries with functional currencies other than
Euro, as well as the effects of foreign currency transaction impact and foreign currency hedging. We use this information to
assess how the underlying revenues changed independent of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and hedging. We
calculate constant currency by (i) applying the prior-period average foreign currency exchange rates to translate current
period revenues of foreign subsidiaries expressed in local functional currency other than Euro, (ii) applying the prior-period
average foreign currency exchange rates to current period revenues originated in a currency other than the functional
currency of the applicable entity, and (iii) eliminating the variances of any foreign currency hedging (see Note 2 “Significant
Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this document, for information on the
foreign currency exchange rates applied). Although we do not believe that these measures are a substitute for GAAP
measures, we do believe that revenues excluding the impact of currency fluctuations and the impacts of hedging provide
additional useful information to investors regarding the operating performance on a local currency basis.

Subsequent Events and 2022 Outlook
Subsequent Events
On January 26, 2022 Ferrari announced that CEVA Logistics will be a new Scuderia Ferrari team partner starting
from the 2022 Formula 1 season. The multi-year agreement will also see CEVA involved in Ferrari’s other racing activities in
GT racing and the Ferrari Challenge, with the Marseille-based company taking on the role of Official Logistics Partner for
those series.
On February 8, 2022 Ferrari announced a new partnership with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. The San Diego,
California-based company will be a Scuderia Ferrari Premium Partner through Snapdragon, Qualcomm’s premium product
and experience brand leveraged across multiple platforms and categories, including automotive. The agreement with
Qualcomm Technologies will have a strong technological impact aimed at accelerating the digital transformation process for
Ferrari and its road cars. Starting from the first common projects already identified, such as the digital cockpit, the two
companies will bring together ideas and expertise to explore new opportunities and a range of technological solutions.
Under the common share repurchase program, from January 1, 2022 to February 18, 2022 the Company purchased
an additional 390,819 common shares for total consideration of €80.1 million. At February 18, 2022 the Company held in
treasury an aggregate of 10,470,922 common shares.
On February 25, 2022, the Board of Directors of Ferrari N.V. recommended to the Company’s shareholders that the
Company declare a dividend of €1.362 per common share, totaling approximately €250 million. The proposal is subject to the
approval of the Company’s shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be held on April 13, 2022.
2022 Outlook
The following 2022 outlook is subject to trading conditions unaffected by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and
based on the following assumptions:
Carefully leveraging strong demand
Richer model mix being more than offset by the negative impact from the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 phase out
Ferrari Daytona SP3 and Ferrari Purosangue will commence production in 2022 with deliveries starting in 2023
Formula 1 revenues reflecting more diversified but lower sponsorship, partially offset by better prior year ranking
Increasing depreciation and amortization in line with the start of production of new models
Industrial free cash flow generation sustained by Daytona SP3 advances collection
Disciplined capital expenditures to fuel long-term development
Net revenues: ∼ Euro 4.8 billion
Adj. EBITDA: Euro 1.65-1.70 billion (34.5%-35.5%)
Adj. EBIT: Euro 1.10-1.15 billion (23%-24%)
Adj. Diluted EPS: Euro 4.55-4.75 per share(*)
Industrial Free Cash Flow: ≥ Euro 0.60 billion

Major Shareholders
Exor is our largest shareholder through its approximately 24.21 percent shareholding interest in our outstanding
common shares (as of February 14, 2022). See “Overview—History of the Company”. As a result of the loyalty voting
mechanism, Exor’s voting power is approximately 36.00 percent (as of February 14, 2022). In addition, as of February 14,
2022, Mr. Piero Ferrari holds approximately 10.30 percent of our outstanding common shares and, as a result of the loyalty
voting mechanism, his voting power is approximately 15.31 percent. The percentages of ownership and voting power above
are calculated based on the number of outstanding shares net of treasury shares.
Exor and Mr. Piero Ferrari informed us that they have entered into a shareholder agreement, summarized below
under “—Shareholders’ Agreement”.
Exor resulted from a cross-border merger of its predecessor entity, Exor S.p.A. with and into Exor N.V. As a result
of that merger, which was completed on December 11, 2016, all activities of Exor S.p.A. are continued by Exor under
universal succession, including with respect to the holding of our shares. Exor is controlled by Giovanni Agnelli B.V.
(“G.A.”), which holds 84.37 percent of its share capital, based on regulatory filings with the Netherlands Authority for the
Financial Markets (stichting Autoriteit Financiële Markten, the “AFM”). G.A. is a Dutch private company with limited
liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) with interests represented by shares, founded by Giovanni
Agnelli and currently held by members of the Agnelli and Nasi families, descendants of Giovanni Agnelli, founder of Fiat. Its
present principal business activity is to purchase, administer and dispose of equity interests in public and private entities and,
in particular, to ensure the cohesion and continuity of the administration of its controlling equity interests. The managing
directors of G.A., as of February 16, 2022, were John Elkann, Jeroen Preller, Florence Hinnen, Tiberto Brandolini d’Adda,
Alessandro Nasi, Andrea Agnelli, Luca Ferrero de’ Gubernatis Ventimiglia and Benedetto Della Chiesa.
Based on the information in Ferrari’s shareholder register, regulatory filings with the AFM and the SEC and other
sources available to us, the following shareholders owned, directly or indirectly, in excess of three percent of the common
shares holding voting rights of Ferrari, as of February 14, 2022:

(1)The percentages of share capital set out in this table are calculated as the ratio of (i) the aggregate number of outstanding common shares beneficially
owned by the shareholder to (ii) the total number of outstanding common shares (net of treasury shares) of Ferrari. These percentages may slightly
differ from the percentages of share capital included in the public register held by the AFM of all notifications made pursuant to the disclosure
obligations under chapter 5.3 of the Dutch Act on financial supervision (Wet op het financieel toezicht; the “AFS”), inter alia, because any shares held
in treasury by Ferrari are included in the relevant denominators for purposes of the AFS disclosure obligations.
(2)Each of Exor and Piero Ferrari participate in the loyalty voting program of Ferrari. As of February 14, 2022, Exor owned 44,435,280 special voting
shares and Mr. Ferrari owned 18,892,160 special voting shares. Therefore, as discussed above in this section, their voting power in Ferrari is higher
than the percentage of common shares beneficially held as presented in this table.
(3)Based on filings with the SEC (Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G filed on February 3, 2022, File No. 005-89223), BlackRock, Inc. is a parent holding
company or control person in accordance with Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(G) and, out of the common shares beneficially owned as set forth in the table, it
has sole voting power over 9,871,147 common shares.
(4)Based on filings with the SEC (Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G filed on February 14, 2018, File No. 005-89223), T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. is
an investment adviser registered under Section 203 of the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Based on subsequent filings with the SEC, out of the
common shares beneficially owned as set forth in the table, T. Rowe Price associates, Inc. has sole voting power over 4,112,710 common shares.
Based on the information in Ferrari’s shareholder register and other sources available to us, as of February 14, 2022,
approximately 63.8 million Ferrari common shares, or 32.9 percent of the outstanding Ferrari common shares, were held in
the United States. As of the same date, approximately 1,924 record holders had registered addresses in the United States.
Shareholders’ Agreement
On December 23, 2015, Exor and Piero Ferrari entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement, which became effective at
106
the completion of the Separation on January 3, 2016 (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”) and prior to the admission to listing
and trading of the common shares of Ferrari on the MTA, now renamed Euronext Milan. Ferrari is not a party to the
Shareholders’ Agreement and does not have any rights or obligations thereunder. Below is a summary of the principal
provisions of the Shareholders’ Agreement based on regulatory filings made by Exor and Piero Ferrari.
Consultation
For the purposes of forming and exercising, to the extent possible, a common view on the items on the agenda of
any General Meeting of shareholders of Ferrari, Exor and Piero Ferrari will consult with each other prior to each General
Meeting. For the purposes of this consultation right and duties, representatives of each of Exor and Piero Ferrari shall meet in
order to discuss in good faith whether they have or can find a common view as to the matters on the agenda of the
immediately following General Meeting. This consultation right does not include an obligation to vote in any certain way nor
does it constitute a veto right in favor of Piero Ferrari.
Pre-emption right in favor of Exor and right of first offer of Piero Ferrari
In the event that Piero Ferrari intends to transfer (in whole or in part) his Ferrari common shares or receives a third
party offer for the acquisition of all or part of his Ferrari common shares, Exor will have the right to purchase all (but not less
than all) of the common shares Piero Ferrari intends to transfer on the terms of the original proposed transfer by Piero Ferrari
or, in case the original proposed transfer was for no consideration, at market prices determined pursuant to the Shareholders’
Agreement.
In the event Exor intends to transfer (in whole or in part) its common shares to a third party, either solicited or
unsolicited, Piero Ferrari will have the right to make a binding, unconditional and irrevocable all cash offer for the purchase
of such common shares.
The foregoing will not apply in the case of transfers of Ferrari common shares: (i) by any party to the Shareholders’
Agreement, to a party that qualifies as a “Loyalty Transferee” (as defined in the Ferrari Articles of Association) of such party,
(ii) by Exor, to any affiliate of G.A., to a successor in business of G.A. and to any affiliate of a successor in business of G.A.,
and (iii) by any party to the Shareholders’ Agreement that is an individual, to an entity wholly owned and controlled by that
same party. In addition, the provisions regarding the pre-emption right in favor of Exor and right of first offer of Piero Ferrari
shall not apply in relation to, and Piero Ferrari shall be free and allowed to carry out, market sales to third parties of his
Ferrari common shares which in the aggregate do not exceed, during the whole period of validity of the Shareholders’
Agreement, 0.5 percent of the number of common shares owned by Piero Ferrari upon completion of the Separation.

Corporate Governance
Introduction
Ferrari is a public limited liability company, incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands. The Company is the
holding company of the Ferrari group following the separation of the Ferrari business from FCA, now renamed Stellantis. In
this section, the “Company” also refers to Ferrari N.V. predecessor, formerly known as New Business Netherlands N.V., as
the context may require. Such predecessor of Ferrari N.V. was the holding company of the Ferrari group following
completion of the restructuring intended to facilitate Ferrari’s IPO. When in this section reference is made to Ferrari N.V., it
solely relates to the current Ferrari N.V. (previously known as FE New N.V.), which acquired Ferrari N.V. predecessor under
universal title through a merger under Dutch law. The Company qualifies as a foreign private issuer under the New York
Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) listing standards and its common shares are listed on the NYSE and on the Euronext Milan
(previously named Mercato Telematico Azionario).
In accordance with the NYSE rules, the Company is permitted to follow its so called “home country practice” with
regard to certain corporate governance standards. Therefore, the Company has adopted, except as discussed below under
“Compliance with Dutch Corporate Governance Code”, the best practice provisions of the revised Dutch corporate
governance code issued by the Corporate Governance Code Monitoring Committee, which entered into force on January 1,
2018 (the “Dutch Corporate Governance Code”) and is applicable as from financial year 2017. The Dutch Corporate
Governance Code contains principles and best practice provisions that regulate relations inter alia between the board of
directors of a company and its committees and the relationship with the general meeting of shareholders.
In this report the Company addresses its overall corporate governance structure. The Company discloses, and
intends to disclose any material departure from the best practice provisions of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code in this
and in its future annual reports.
Board of Directors
Pursuant to the Company’s articles of association (the “Articles of Association”), its board of directors (the “Board
of Directors”) may have three or more directors (the “Directors”). At the annual general meeting of shareholders held on
April 15, 2021, the number of the Directors was set at nine and the current slate of Directors was appointed. Mr. Benedetto
Vigna was designated as Acting Chief Executive Officer by the Board of Directors effective as of September 16, 2021. The

held. Each Director may be reappointed at any subsequent annual general meeting of shareholders; the next annual general
meeting of shareholders is currently expected to be held on April 13, 2022. On December 10, 2020, Mr. Louis Camilleri
communicated to the Company his decision, for personal reasons, to retire with immediate effect from his role as the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer and as member of the Board of Directors. As a result, Mr. John Elkann, the Company’s
Executive Chairman, acted as interim Chief Executive Officer pursuant to his appointment by the Board of Directors at the
meeting of the Board of Directors held on December 15, 2020, until Mr. Benedetto Vigna was designated as Acting Chief
Executive Officer by the Board of Directors effective as of September 16, 2021. The Board of Directors recommended during
its meeting of February 25, 2022 the shareholders to appoint Mr. Benedetto Vigna as executive director at the Company’s
2022 annual general meeting of shareholders and the Board of Directors during its meeting shortly after the AGM 2022
envisages to confirm his title of CEO. On February 16, 2021, the Company announced that Mr. Roberto Cingolani tendered
his resignation from his role as Company’s non-executive Director and member of the ESG Committee of the Board of
Directors effective as of February 13, 2021 when he was appointed Minister of the new Italian Government. Mrs. Delphine

The Board of Directors as a whole is responsible for the strategy of the Company. The Board of Directors is
composed of two executive Directors (i.e., Mr. John Elkann, Executive Chairman, and Mr. Benedetto Vigna, Acting Chief
Executive Officer) and eight non-executive Directors, who do not have day-to-day responsibility within the Company or the
Group. Pursuant to Article 17 of the Articles of Association, the general authority to represent the Company shall be vested in
the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer.
The Board of Directors appointed the following internal committees: (i) an Audit Committee, (ii) a ESG Committee,
and (iii) a Compensation Committee. On certain key operational matters, the executive Directors are supported by the Ferrari
108
Leadership Team (hereinafter also the “FLT”, formerly Senior Management Team, and so renamed as a result of the
organizational changes executed in January 2022), which is responsible for reviewing the operating performance of the
businesses, collaborating on certain operational matters, supporting the executive Directors with their tasks and executing
decisions of the Board of Directors and the day-to-day management of the Company, primarily to the extent it relates to the

Indemnification of Directors
Under Dutch law, indemnification provisions may be included in a company’s articles of association. Under the
Articles of Association, the Company is required to indemnify any and all of its Directors, officers, former Directors, former
officers and any person who may have served at its request as a director or officer of another company in which it owns
shares or of which it is a creditor, who were or are made a party or are threatened to be made a party to or are involved in, any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or
investigative (each a “Proceeding”), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such
a Proceeding, against any and all liabilities, damages, reasonable and documented expenses (including reasonably incurred
and substantiated attorneys’ fees), financial effects of judgments, fines, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and
punitive damages) and amounts paid in settlement in connection with such Proceeding by any of them. Such indemnification
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled otherwise. Notwithstanding the
above, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which any of the above-mentioned
indemnified persons shall be adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such
person’s duty to Ferrari. Ferrari has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the members of the Board of
Directors and certain other officers, substantially in line with that purchased by similarly situated companies.
Conflict of Interest
A Director shall not participate in discussions and decision making of the Board of Directors with respect to a matter
in relation to which he or she has a direct or indirect personal interest that is in conflict with the interests of the Company and
the business associated with the Company (“Conflict of Interest”), which shall be determined outside the presence of the
director concerned. All transactions, where there is a Conflict of Interest, must be concluded on terms that are customary in
the branch concerned and approved by the Board of Directors. In addition, the Board of Directors as a whole may, on an ad
hoc basis, resolve that there is such a strong appearance of a Conflict of Interest of an individual Director in relation to a
specific matter, that it is deemed in the best interest of a proper decision making process that such individual Director be
excused from participation in the decision making process with respect to such matter even though such Director may not
have an actual Conflict of Interest.
At least annually, each Director shall assess in good faith whether (i) he or she is independent under (A) best
practice provision 2.1.8 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, (B) the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange
Act, and (C) Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual; and (ii) he or she would have a Conflict of Interest in
connection with any transactions between the Company and a significant shareholder or related party of the Company,
including affiliates of a significant shareholder (such conflict, a “Related-Party Conflict”), it being understood that currently
Exor N.V. (“Exor”) would be considered a significant shareholder.
The Directors shall inform the Board of Directors through the Senior Non-executive Director or the Secretary of the
Board of Directors as to all material information regarding any circumstances or relationships that may impact their
characterization as “independent,” or impact the assessment of their interests, including by responding promptly to the annual
114
D&O questionnaires circulated by or on behalf of the Secretary that are designed to elicit relevant information regarding
business and other relationships.
Based on each Director’s assessment described above, the Board of Directors shall make a determination at least
annually regarding such Director’s independence and such Director’s Related-Party Conflict. These annual determinations
shall be conclusive, absent a change in circumstances from those disclosed to the Board of Directors, that necessitates a
change in such determination.
Mr. Elkann is Chief Executive Officer of Exor, our and Stellantis’s largest shareholder, and an executive director of
Stellantis. Stellantis, Exor and a number of companies in the Stellantis and Exor groups are related parties to Ferrari. See

Loyalty Voting Structure
In connection with the separation from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V., Ferrari issued special voting shares with a
nominal value of one Euro cent (€0.01) per share to FCA, Piero Ferrari and FCA shareholders holding FCA special voting
shares prior to the separation including Exor, in addition to Ferrari common shares.
As of February 14, 2022, Exor held approximately 24.21 percent of our outstanding common shares and
approximately 36.00 percent of the voting power in us, Piero Ferrari held approximately 10.30 percent of our outstanding
common shares and approximately 15.31 percent of the voting power in us and public shareholders hold approximately 48.69
percent of the voting power in us. The percentages of voting power above are calculated based on the number of outstanding
shares net of treasury shares.
Subject to meeting certain conditions, our common shares can be registered in our loyalty register (the “Loyalty
Register”) and all such common shares may qualify as qualifying common shares (“Qualifying Common Shares”). The
holder of Qualifying Common Shares is entitled to receive without consideration one special voting share in respect of each
such Qualifying Common Share. Pursuant to the Terms and Conditions of the Special Voting Shares (“Terms and
Conditions”), and for so long as the Ferrari common shares remain in the Loyalty Register, such Ferrari common shares shall
not be sold, disposed of, transferred, except in very limited circumstances (i.e., transfers to affiliates or to relatives through
succession, donation or other transfers (defined in the Terms and Conditions as “Loyalty Transferee”)), but a shareholder
may create or permit to exist any pledge, lien, fixed or floating charge or other encumbrance over such Ferrari common
shares, provided that the voting rights in respect of such Ferrari common shares and any corresponding special voting shares
remain with such shareholder at all times. Ferrari’s shareholders who want to directly or indirectly sell, dispose of, trade or
transfer such Ferrari common shares or otherwise grant any right or interest therein, or create or permit to exist any pledge,
lien, fixed or floating charge or other encumbrance over such Ferrari common shares with a potential transfer of voting rights
relating to such encumbrances will need to submit a de-registration request as referred to in the Terms and Conditions, in
order to transfer the relevant Ferrari common shares to the regular trading system (the “Regular Trading System”) except that
a Ferrari shareholder may transfer Ferrari common shares included in the Loyalty Register to a Loyalty Transferee (as
defined in the Terms and Conditions) of such Ferrari shareholder without transferring such shares from the Loyalty Register
to the Regular Trading System.
Ferrari’s shareholders who seek to qualify to receive special voting shares can also request to have their Ferrari
common shares registered in the Loyalty Register. Upon registration in the Loyalty Register such shares will be eligible to be
treated as Qualifying Common Shares, provided they meet the conditions.
Notwithstanding the fact that Article 13 of the Ferrari Articles of Association permits the Board of Directors of
Ferrari to approve transfers of special voting shares, the special voting shares cannot be traded and are transferable only in
very limited circumstances (i.e., to a Loyalty Transferee described above, or to Ferrari for no consideration (om niet)).
Pursuant to Article 23 of the Ferrari Articles of Association, Ferrari shall maintain a special capital reserve to be
credited against the share premium exclusively for the purpose of facilitating any issuance or cancellation of special voting
shares. The special voting shares shall be issued and paid up against this special capital reserve.
115
The special voting shares have immaterial economic entitlements. Such economic entitlements are designed to
comply with Dutch law but are immaterial for investors. The special voting shares carry the same voting rights as Ferrari
common shares.
Section 10 of the Terms and Conditions include liquidated damages provisions intended to deter any attempt by
holders to circumvent the terms of the special voting shares. Such liquidated damages provisions may be enforced by Ferrari
by means of a legal action brought by Ferrari before competent courts of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In particular, a
violation of the provisions of the Terms and Conditions concerning the transfer of special voting shares, Electing Common
Shares (common shares registered in the Loyalty Register for the purpose of becoming Qualifying Common Shares in
accordance with the Ferrari Articles of Association) and Qualifying Common Shares may lead to the imposition of liquidated
damages. Because we expect the restrictions on transfers of the special voting shares to be effective in practice we do not
expect the liquidated damages provisions to be used.
Pursuant to Section 12 of the Terms and Conditions, any amendment to the Terms and Conditions (other than
merely technical, non-material amendments and unless such amendment is required to ensure compliance with applicable law
or regulations or the listing rules of any securities exchange on which the Ferrari common shares are listed) may only be
made with the approval of the general meeting of shareholders of Ferrari.
At any time, a holder of Qualifying Common Shares or Electing Common Shares may request the de-registration of
such shares from the Loyalty Register to enable free trading thereof in the Regular Trading System. Upon the de-registration
from the Loyalty Register, such shares will cease to be Electing Common Shares or Qualifying Common Shares as the case
may be and will be freely tradable and voting rights attached to the corresponding special voting shares will be suspended
with immediate effect and such special voting shares shall be transferred to Ferrari for no consideration (om niet).
A shareholder who is a holder of Qualifying Common Shares or Electing Common Shares must promptly notify the
Agent and Ferrari upon the occurrence of a “change of control” as defined in the Ferrari Articles of Association, as described
below. The change of control will trigger the de-registration of the relevant Electing Common Shares or Qualifying Common
Shares or the relevant Ferrari common shares in the Loyalty Register. The voting rights attached to the special voting shares
issued and allocated in respect of the relevant Qualified Common Shares will be suspended upon a direct or indirect change
of control in respect of the relevant holder of such Qualifying Common Shares that are registered in the Loyalty Register.
For the purposes of this section a “change of control” shall mean, in respect of any Ferrari shareholder that is not an
individual (natuurlijk persoon), any direct or indirect transfer in one or a series of related transactions as a result of which (i)
a majority of the voting rights of such shareholder, (ii) the de facto ability to direct the casting of a majority of the votes
exercisable at general meetings of shareholders of such shareholder and/or (iii) the ability to appoint or remove a majority of
the directors, executive directors or board members or executive officers of such shareholder or to direct the casting of a
majority or more of the voting rights at meetings of the board of directors, governing body or executive committee of such
shareholder has been transferred to a new owner, provided that no change of control shall be deemed to have occurred if (a)
the transfer of ownership and/or control is an intra-group transfer under the same parent company, (b) the transfer of
ownership and /or control is the result of the succession or the liquidation of assets between spouses or the inheritance, inter
vivos donation or other transfer to a spouse or a relative up to and including the fourth degree or (c) the fair market value of
the Qualifying Common Shares held by such shareholder represents less than twenty percent (20 percent) of the total assets
of the Transferred Group at the time of the transfer and the Qualifying Common Shares held by such shareholder, in the sole
judgment of the Company, are not otherwise material to the Transferred Group or the change of control transaction.
“Transferred Group” shall mean the relevant shareholder together with its affiliates, if any, over which control was
transferred as part of the same change of control transaction within the meaning of the definition of change of control.
If Ferrari is dissolved and liquidated, whatever remains of Ferrari’s equity after all its debts have been discharged
shall first be applied to distribute the aggregate balance of share premium reserves and other reserves (other than the special
dividend reserve), to holders of Ferrari common shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of the Ferrari common
shares held by each holder; secondly, from any balance remaining, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the nominal
value of the Ferrari common shares will be distributed to the holders of Ferrari common shares in proportion to the aggregate
nominal value of Ferrari common shares held by each of them; thirdly, from any balance remaining, an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of the special voting shares dividend reserve will be distributed to the holders of special voting shares in
proportion to the aggregate nominal value of the special voting shares held by each of them; fourthly, from any balance
remaining, the aggregate amount of the nominal value of the special voting shares will be distributed to the holders of special
voting shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of the special voting shares held by each of them; and, lastly, any
116
balance remaining will be distributed to the holders of Ferrari common shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of
Ferrari common shares held by each of them.
Disclosures pursuant to Decree Article 10 EU-Directive on Takeovers
In accordance with the Dutch Besluit artikel 10 overnamerichtlijn (the “Decree”), the Company makes the following
disclosures:
a.For information on the capital structure of the Company, the composition of the issued share capital and the
existence of the two classes of shares, please refer to Note 14 to the Company Financial Statements in this Annual
Report. For information on the rights attached to the common shares, please refer to the Articles of Association
which can be found on the Company’s website. To summarize, the rights attached to common shares comprise pre-
emptive rights upon issuance of common shares, the entitlement to attend to the general meeting of Shareholders and
to speak and vote at that meeting and the entitlement to distributions of such amount of the Company’s profit as
remains after allocation to reserves. For information on the rights attached to the special voting shares, please refer
to the Articles of Association and the Terms and Conditions for the Special Voting Shares which can both be found
on the Company’s website and more in particular to the paragraph “Loyalty Voting Structure” of this Annual Report
in the chapter “Corporate Governance”. As at December 31, 2021, the issued share capital of the Company consisted
of 193,923,499 common shares, representing approximately 75.38 percent of the aggregate issued share capital, and
63,349,112 special voting shares, representing approximately 24.62 percent of the aggregate issued share capital.
b.The Company has imposed no limitations on the transfer of common shares. The Articles of Association provide in
Article 13 for transfer restrictions for special voting shares.
c.For information on participations in the Company’s capital in respect of which pursuant to Sections 5:34, 5:35 and
5:43 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht) notification requirements apply, please
refer to the chapter “Major Shareholders” of this Annual Report. There you will find a list of Shareholders who are
known to the Company to have holdings of 3 percent or more at the stated date.
d.No special control rights or other rights accrue to shares in the capital of the Company.
e.A mechanism for verifying compliance with a scheme allowing employees to subscribe for or to acquire shares in
the capital of the company or a subsidiary if the employees do not arrange for such verification directly is not
applicable to the Company.
f.No restrictions apply to voting rights attached to shares in the capital of the Company, nor are there any deadlines
for exercising voting rights. The Articles of Association allow the Company to cooperate in the issuance of
registered depositary receipts for common shares, but only pursuant to a resolution to that effect of the Board of
Directors. The Company is not aware of any depository receipts having been issued for shares in its capital.
g.The Company is not aware of the existence of any agreements with Shareholders which may result in restrictions on
the transfer of shares or limitation of voting rights except for the shareholders’ agreement, dated December 23, 2015
between Exor (formerly Exor S.p.A.) and Piero Ferrari, which became effective upon the completion of the
Separation on January 3, 2016 (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”). The Shareholders’ Agreement includes certain
preemption rights of Exor in the event of a proposed transfer of common shares by Piero Ferrari, and certain rights
of first offer of Piero Ferrari in the event of a proposed transfer of common shares by Exor, in each case subject to
the exceptions set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement. The Shareholders’ Agreement will remain in force until the
fifth anniversary of the Separation provided that if neither of the parties to the Shareholders’ Agreement terminates
the Shareholders’ Agreement within six months before the end of the initial term, then the Shareholders’ Agreement
shall be renewed automatically for another five year term. Since neither of the parties to the Shareholders’
Agreement terminated it within six months before January 3, 2021, the Shareholders’ Agreement was automatically
renewed for another five year term and, therefore, until January 3, 2026.
h.The rules governing the appointment and dismissal of members of the Board of Directors are stated in the Articles of
Association of the Company. All members of the Board of Directors are appointed by the general meeting of
Shareholders. The term of office of all members of the Board of Directors is for a period of approximately one year
after appointment, such period expiring on the day the first Annual General Meeting of Shareholders is held in the
following calendar year. The general meeting of Shareholders has the power to suspend or dismiss any member of
the Board of Directors at any time. The rules governing an amendment of the Articles of Association are stated in
the Articles of Association and require a resolution of the general meeting of Shareholders which can only be passed
pursuant to a prior proposal of the Board of Directors.
i.The general powers of the Board of Directors are stated in the Articles of Association of the Company. For a period
of five (5) years from January 2, 2016, the Board of Directors has been irrevocably authorized to issue shares up to
the maximum aggregate amount of shares as provided for in the Company’s authorized share capital as set out in
117
Article 4.1 of the Articles of Association, as amended from time to time. The Board of Directors has also been
designated for the same period as the authorized body to limit or exclude the rights of pre-emption of shareholders in
connection with the authority of the Board of Directors to issue common shares and grant rights to subscribe for
common shares as referred to above. Pursuant to the resolution of the Annual General Meeting held on April 16,
2020, the Board of Directors was authorized to issue shares in the capital of the Company and to grant rights to
subscribe for shares in the capital of the Company. This authorization is limited in respect of common shares to (i)
10 percent of the issued common shares for general corporate purposes as of the date of the 2020 Annual General
Meeting (i.e. April 16, 2020), which can be used for any and all purposes, plus (ii) an additional 10 percent of the
issued common shares as of such date if the issuance occurs on the occasion of the acquisition of an enterprise or a
corporation, or, if such issuance and/or the granting of rights to subscribe for common shares is otherwise necessary
in the opinion of the Board of Directors. This authorization is limited in respect of special voting shares to a
maximum aggregate amount of special voting shares as provided for in the Company’s authorized share capital as
set out in the Company’s Articles of Association. The authorization was granted for a period starting from the date
on which the prior authorization expires and therefore from January 2, 2021 up to and including October 15, 2021.
The Board of Directors was also designated for the same period as the authorized body to limit or exclude the rights
of pre-emption of shareholders in connection with the authority of the Board of Directors to issue common shares
and grant rights to subscribe for common shares as referred to above. Pursuant to the resolution of the Annual
General Meeting held on April 15, 2021, the Board of Directors has been further authorized to issue shares in the
capital of the Company and to grant rights to subscribe for shares in the capital of the Company. This authorization
is limited in respect of common shares to 10 percent of the issued common shares for general corporate purposes as
of the date of the 2021 Annual General Meeting (i.e. April 15, 2021), which can be used for any and all purposes
necessary in the opinion of the Board of Directors. This authorization is limited in respect of special voting shares to
up to 10% of the maximum aggregate amount of special voting shares as provided for in the Company’s authorized
share capital as set out in the Company’s Articles of Association. The authorization has been granted for a period of
18 months starting from the date of the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on April 15, 2021 up to and
including October 14, 2022. The Board of Directors has also been designated for the same period as the authorized
body to limit or exclude the rights of pre-emption of shareholders in connection with the authority of the Board of
Directors to issue common shares and grant rights to subscribe for common shares as referred to above. In the event
of an issuance of special voting shares, shareholders have no right of pre-emption. The Company has the authority to
acquire fully paid-up shares in its own share capital, provided that such acquisition is made for no consideration.
Further rules governing the acquisition of shares by the Company in its own share capital are set out in article 8 of
the Articles of Association.
j.The Company is not a party to any significant agreements which will take effect, will be altered or will be
terminated upon a change of control of the Company as a result of a public offer within the meaning of Section 5:70
of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht), provided that certain of the loan agreements
entered into by the Company contain clauses that, as is customary for financing agreements of similar type, may
require early repayment or termination in the event of a change of control of the Company.
k.The Company did not enter into any agreement with a director or employee of the Company providing for a
payment / distribution upon termination of employment as a result of a public offer within the meaning of article
5:70 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act.
General Meeting of Shareholders
At least one general meeting of shareholders shall be held every year, which meeting shall be held within six months
after the close of the financial year.
Furthermore, general meetings of shareholders shall be held in the case referred to in Section 2:108a of the Dutch
Civil Code as often as the Board of Directors, the Chairman or the Chief Executive Officer deems it necessary to hold them
or as otherwise required by Dutch law, without prejudice to what has been provided in the next paragraph hereof.
Shareholders solely or jointly representing at least ten percent (10 percent) of the issued share capital may request
the Board of Directors, in writing, to call a general meeting of shareholders, stating the matters to be dealt with.
If the Board of Directors fails to call a meeting, then such shareholders may, on their application, be authorized by
the interim provisions judge of the court (voorzieningenrechter van de rechtbank) to convene a general meeting of
shareholders. The interim provisions judge (voorzieningenrechter van de rechtbank) shall reject the application if he is not
118
satisfied that the applicants have previously requested the Board of Directors in writing, stating the exact subjects to be
discussed, to convene a general meeting of shareholders.
General meetings of shareholders shall be held in Amsterdam or Haarlemmermeer (Schiphol Airport), the
Netherlands, and shall be called by the Board of Directors, the Chairman or the Chief Executive Officer, in such manner as is
required to comply with the law and the applicable stock exchange regulations, not later than on the forty-second day prior to
the day of the meeting.
All convocations of general meetings of shareholders and all announcements, notifications and communications to
shareholders shall be made by means of an announcement on the Company’s corporate website and such announcement shall
remain accessible until the relevant general meeting of shareholders. Any communication to be addressed to the general
meeting of shareholders by virtue of Dutch law or the Articles of Association, may be either included in the notice, referred
to in the preceding sentence or, to the extent provided for in such notice, on the Company’s corporate website and/or in a
document made available for inspection at the office of the Company and such other place(s) as the Board of Directors shall
determine.
Convocations of general meetings of shareholders may be sent to Shareholders through the use of an electronic
means of communication to the address provided by such Shareholders to the Company for this purpose.
The notice shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and the agenda of the meeting as well as the other data
required by law.
An item proposed in writing by such number of Shareholders who, by Dutch law, are entitled to make such proposal,
shall be included in the notice or shall be announced in a manner similar to the announcement of the notice, provided that the
Company has received the relevant request, including the reasons for putting the relevant item on the agenda, no later than the
sixtieth day before the day of the meeting.
Pursuant to Dutch law, the board of a listed company has the power to invoke a cooling-off period of up to 250 days
in the event of (i) a request by one or more shareholders for consideration of a proposal to appoint, suspend or dismiss one or
more members of the board, or (ii) when an unsolicited public bid has been announced or made for the shares of the listed
company. The decision by the board to invoke the cooling-off period is subject to supervisory board approval. To invoke the
cooling-off period, the request under i) or the public bid under ii) must in the view of the board be substantially contrary to
the interest of the listed company and its affiliated enterprises.
The agenda of the annual general meeting of shareholders shall contain, inter alia, the following items:
a.adoption of the annual report;
b.the remuneration report;
c.at least every four years after adoption of the remuneration policy, the remuneration policy;
d.the policy of the Company on additions to reserves and on dividends, if any;

f.the appointment of Directors;
g.if applicable, the proposal to pay a dividend;
h.if applicable, discussion of any substantial change in the corporate governance structure of the Company; and
i.any matters decided upon by the person(s) convening the meeting and any matters placed on the agenda with due
observance of applicable Dutch law.
The Board of Directors shall provide the general meeting of shareholders with all requested information, unless this
would be contrary to an overriding interest of the Company. If the Board of Directors invokes an overriding interest, it must
give reasons.
When convening a general meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors shall determine that, for the purpose of
Article 19 and Article 20 of the Articles of Association, persons with the right to vote or attend meetings shall be considered
those persons who have these rights at the twenty-eighth day prior to the day of the meeting (the “Record Date”) and are
registered as such in a register to be designated by the Board of Directors for such purpose, irrespective whether they will
have these rights at the date of the meeting. In addition to the Record Date, the notice of the meeting shall further state the
119
manner in which shareholders and other parties with meeting rights may have themselves registered and the manner in which
those rights can be exercised.
The general meeting of shareholders shall be presided over by the Chairman or, in his absence, by the person chosen
by the Board of Directors to act as chairman for such meeting.
One of the persons present designated for that purpose by the chairman of the meeting shall act as secretary and take
minutes of the business transacted. The minutes shall be confirmed by the chairman of the meeting and the secretary and
signed by them in witness thereof.
The minutes of the general meeting of shareholders shall be made available, on request, to the shareholders no later
than three months after the end of the meeting, after which the shareholders shall have the opportunity to react to the minutes
in the following three months. The minutes shall then be adopted in the manner as described in the preceding paragraph.
If an official notarial record is made of the business transacted at the meeting then minutes need not be drawn up and
it shall suffice that the official notarial record be signed by the notary.
As a prerequisite to attending the meeting and, to the extent applicable, exercising voting rights, the shareholders
entitled to attend the meeting shall be obliged to inform the Board of Directors in writing within the time frame mentioned in
the convening notice. At the latest this notice must be received by the Board of Directors on the day mentioned in the
convening notice.
Shareholders and those permitted by Dutch law to attend the general meetings of shareholders may cause themselves
to be represented at any meeting by a proxy duly authorized in writing, provided they shall notify the Company in writing of
their wish to be represented at such time and place as shall be stated in the notice of the meetings. For the avoidance of doubt,
such attorney is also authorized in writing if the proxy is documented electronically. The Board of Directors may determine
further rules concerning the deposit of the powers of attorney; these shall be mentioned in the notice of the meeting.
The Company is exempt from the proxy rules under the Exchange Act.
The chairman of the meeting shall decide on the admittance to the meeting of persons other than those who are
entitled to attend.
For each general meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors may decide that shareholders shall be entitled to
attend, address and exercise voting rights at such meeting through the use of electronic means of communication, provided
that shareholders who participate in the meeting are capable of being identified through the electronic means of
communication and have direct cognizance of the discussions at the meeting and the exercising of voting rights (if
applicable). The Board of Directors may set requirements for the use of electronic means of communication and state these in
the convening notice. Furthermore, the Board of Directors may for each general meeting of shareholders decide that votes
cast by the use of electronic means of communication prior to the meeting and received by the Board of Directors shall be
considered to be votes cast at the meeting. Such votes may not be cast prior to the Record Date. Whether the provision of the
foregoing sentence applies and the procedure for exercising the rights referred to in that sentence shall be stated in the notice.
Prior to being allowed admittance to a meeting, a shareholder and each person entitled to attend the meeting, or its
attorney, shall sign an attendance list, while stating his name and, to the extent applicable, the number of votes to which he is
entitled. Each shareholder and other person attending a meeting by the use of electronic means of communication and
identified in accordance with the above shall be registered on the attendance list by the Board of Directors. In the event that it
concerns an attorney of a shareholder or another person entitled to attend the meeting, the name(s) of the person(s) on whose
behalf the attorney is acting, shall also be stated. The chairman of the meeting may decide that the attendance list must also
be signed by other persons present at the meeting.
The chairman of the meeting may determine the time for which shareholders and others entitled to attend the general
meeting of shareholders may speak if he considers this desirable with a view to the orderly conduct of the meeting as well as
other procedures that the chairman considers desirable for the efficient and orderly conduct of the business of the meeting.
Every share (whether common or special voting) shall confer the right to cast one vote.
120
Shares in respect of which Dutch law determines that no votes may be cast shall be disregarded for the purposes of
determining the proportion of shareholders voting, present or represented or the proportion of the share capital present or
represented.
All resolutions shall be passed with an absolute majority of the votes validly cast unless otherwise specified in the
Articles of Association. Blank votes shall not be counted as votes cast.
All votes shall be cast in writing or electronically. The chairman of the meeting may, however, determine that voting
by raising hands or in another manner shall be permitted.
Voting by acclamation shall be permitted if none of the shareholders present or represented objects.
No voting rights shall be exercised in the general meeting of shareholders for shares owned by the Company or by a
subsidiary of the Company. Pledgees and usufructuaries of shares owned by the Company and its subsidiaries shall however
not be excluded from exercising their voting rights, if the right of pledge or usufruct was created before the shares were
owned by the Company or a subsidiary. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise voting rights for shares
in respect of which it holds a right of pledge or usufruct.
Without prejudice to the Articles of Association, the Company shall determine for each resolution passed:
a.the number of shares on which valid votes have been cast;
b.the percentage that the number of shares as referred to under a. represents in the issued share capital;
c.the aggregate number of votes validly cast; and
d.the aggregate number of votes cast in favor of and against a resolution, as well as the number of abstentions.
Issuance of shares
The general meeting of shareholders or alternatively the Board of Directors, if it has been designated to do so by the
general meeting of shareholders, shall have authority to resolve on any issuance of shares and rights to subscribe for shares.
The general meeting of shareholders shall, for as long as any such designation of the Board of Directors for this purpose is in
force, no longer have authority to decide on the issuance of shares and rights to subscribe for shares.
For a period of five years from January 2, 2016 the Board of Directors has been irrevocably authorized to issue
shares and rights to subscribe for shares up to the maximum aggregate amount of shares as provided for in the company’s
authorized share capital as set out in Article 4.1 of the Articles of Association, as amended from time to time.
The general meeting of shareholders or the Board of Directors if so designated in accordance with the Articles of
Association, shall decide on the price and the further terms and conditions of issuance, with due observance of what has been
provided in relation thereto in Dutch law and the Articles of Association.
If the Board of Directors is designated to have authority to decide on the issuance of shares or rights to subscribe for
shares, such designation shall specify the class of shares and the maximum number of shares or rights to subscribe for shares
that can be issued under such designation. When making such designation the duration thereof, which shall not be for more
than five years, shall be resolved upon at the same time. The designation may be extended from time to time for periods not
exceeding five years. The designation may not be withdrawn unless otherwise provided in the resolution in which the
designation is made.
Pursuant to the resolution of the Annual General Meeting held on April 16, 2020, the Board of Directors was
authorized to issue shares in the capital of the Company and to grant rights to subscribe for shares in the capital of the
Company. This authorization is limited in respect of common shares to (i) 10 percent of the issued common shares for
general corporate purposes as of the date of the 2020 Annual General Meeting (i.e. April 16, 2020), which can be used for
any and all purposes, plus (ii) an additional 10 percent of the issued common shares as of such date if the issuance occurs on
the occasion of the acquisition of an enterprise or a corporation, or, if such issuance and/or the granting of rights to subscribe
for common shares is otherwise necessary in the opinion of the Board of Directors. This authorization is limited in respect of
special voting shares to a maximum aggregate amount of special voting shares as provided for in the Company’s authorized
share capital as set out in the Company’s Articles of Association. The authorization was granted for a period starting from the
date on which the prior authorization expired and therefore from January 2, 2021 up to and including October 15, 2021.
121
Pursuant to the resolution of the Annual General Meeting held on April 15, 2021, the Board of Directors has been further
authorized to issue shares in the capital of the Company and to grant rights to subscribe for shares in the capital of the
Company. This authorization is limited in respect of common shares to 10 percent of the issued common shares for general
corporate purposes as of the date of the 2021 Annual General Meeting (i.e. April 15, 2021), which can be used for any and all
purposes necessary in the opinion of the Board of Directors. This authorization is limited in respect of special voting shares to
up to 10% of the maximum aggregate amount of special voting shares as provided for in the Company’s authorized share
capital as set out in the Company’s Articles of Association. The authorization has been granted for a period of 18 months
starting from the date of the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on April 15, 2021 up to and including October
14, 2022.
Payment for shares shall be made in cash unless another form of consideration has been agreed. Payment in a
currency other than euro may only be made with the consent of the Company.
The Board of Directors has also been designated as the authorized body to limit or exclude the rights of pre-emption
of shareholders in connection with the authority of the Board of Directors to issue common shares and grant rights to
subscribe for common shares as referred to above.
In the event of an issuance of common shares every holder of common shares shall have a right of pre-emption with
regard to the common shares or rights to subscribe for common shares to be issued in proportion to the aggregate nominal
value of his common shares, provided however that no such right of pre-emption shall exist in respect of shares or rights to
subscribe for common shares to be issued to employees of the Company or of a group company pursuant to any option plan
of the Company.
A shareholder shall have no right of pre-emption for shares that are issued against a non-cash contribution.
In the event of an issuance of special voting shares to qualifying shareholders, shareholders shall not have any right
of pre-emption.
The general meeting of shareholders or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, shall decide when passing the
resolution to issue shares or rights to subscribe for shares in which manner the shares shall be issued and, to the extent that
rights of pre-emption apply, within what period those rights may be exercised.

The Netherlands is the Company’s home member state for the purposes of the EU Transparency Directive (Directive
2004/109/EC, as amended).
Internal Control System
The Company has in place an internal control system (the “System”), based on the model provided by the COSO
Framework (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission Report – Enterprise Risk Management
model) and the principles of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, which consists of a set of policies, procedures and
organizational structures aimed at identifying, measuring, managing and monitoring the principal risks to which the Company
is exposed. The System is integrated within the organizational and corporate governance framework adopted by the Company
and contributes to the protection of corporate assets, as well as to ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness of business
processes, reliability of financial information and compliance with laws, regulations, the Articles of Association and internal
procedures.
122
The System, which has been developed on the basis of international best practices, relies on the so called “Three
Levels of Controls Model” as referred to and outlined in the “Risk Management Process and Internal Control Systems”
section of this Report.
Principal Characteristics of the Internal Control System and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company has in place a system of risk management and internal control over financial reporting based on the
model provided by the COSO Framework, according to which the internal control system is defined as a set of rules,
procedures and tools designed to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of corporate objectives.
In relation to the financial reporting process, reliability, accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the information
contribute to the achievement of such corporate objectives. Risk management is an integral part of the internal control
system. A periodic evaluation of the system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to ensure the overall
effectiveness of the components of the COSO Framework (control environment, risk assessment, control activities,
information and communication, and monitoring) in achieving those objectives.
The Company has a system of administrative and accounting procedures in place that ensure a high degree of
reliability in the system of internal control over financial reporting.
The approach adopted by the Company for the evaluation, monitoring and continuous updating of the system of
internal control over financial reporting, is based on a ‘top-down, risk-based’ process consistent with the COSO Framework.
This enables focus on areas of higher risk and/or materiality, where there is risk of significant errors, including those
attributable to fraud, in the elements of the financial statements and related documents. The key components of the process
are:
identification and evaluation of the source and probability of material errors in elements of financial reporting;
assessment of the adequacy of key controls in enabling ex-ante or ex-post identification of potential misstatements in
elements of financial reporting; and
verification of the operating effectiveness of controls based on the assessment of the risk of misstatement in
financial reporting, with testing focused on areas of higher risk.
Identification and evaluation of the risk of misstatements which could have material effects on financial reporting is
carried out through a risk assessment process that uses a top-down approach to identify the organizational entities, processes
and the related accounts, in addition to specific activities, which could potentially generate significant errors. Under the
methodology adopted by the Company, risks and related controls are associated with the accounting and business processes
upon which accounting information is based.
Significant risks identified through the assessment process require definition and evaluation of key controls that
address those risks, thereby mitigating the possibility that financial reporting will contain any material misstatements.
In accordance with international best practices, the Group has two principal types of control in place:
controls that operate at Group or subsidiary level, such as delegation of authorities and responsibilities, separation of
duties, and assignment of access rights to IT systems; and
controls that operate at process level, such as authorizations, reconciliations, verification of consistencies, etc. This
category includes controls for operating processes, controls for financial closing processes and cross-sector controls
carried out by captive service providers. These controls can be preventive (i.e., designed to prevent errors or fraud
that could result in misstatements in financial reporting) or detective (i.e., designed to reveal errors or fraud that
have already occurred). They may also be classified as manual or automatic, such as application-based controls
relating to the technical characteristics and configuration of IT systems supporting business activities.
An assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of key controls is carried out through tests performed by the
Internal Audit department, both at group and subsidiary level, using sampling techniques recognized as best practices
internationally.
The assessment of the controls may require the definition of compensating controls and plans for remediation and
improvement. The results of monitoring are subject to periodic review by the manager responsible for the Company’s
123
financial reporting and communicated by him to senior management and to the Audit Committee (which in turn reports to the
Board of Directors).
Code of Conduct
We have adopted a Code of Conduct which applies to all of our employees, including our principal executive,
principal financial and principal accounting officers. Our Code of Conduct is posted on our website at https://
corporate.ferrari.com/sites/ferrari15ipo/files/codice_condotta_ferrari_eng_def.pdf. If the provisions of our Code of Conduct
that apply to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer are amended, or if a
waiver is granted, we will disclose such amendment or waiver.
The Code of Conduct represents a set of values recognized, adhered to and promoted by the Company which
understands that conduct based on the principles of diligence, integrity and fairness is an important driver of social and
economic development.
The Code of Conduct is a pillar of the governance system which regulates the decision-making processes and
operating approach of the Company and its employees in the interests of stakeholders. The Code of Conduct amplifies
aspects of conduct related to the economic, social and environmental dimensions, underscoring the importance of dialog with
stakeholders. Explicit reference is made to the UN’s Universal Declaration on Human Rights, the principal Conventions of
the International Labor Organization (ILO), the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act (FCPA). The Code of Conduct was amended to include specific guidelines relating to: the Environment, Health
and Safety, Business Ethics and Anticorruption, Suppliers, Human Resource Management, Respect of Human Rights,
Conflicts of Interest, Community Investment, Data Privacy, Use of IT and Communications Equipment, Antitrust and Export
Controls.
The Code of Conduct applies to the Directors and all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and other
individuals or companies that act in the name and on behalf of the Company or its subsidiaries.
The Company promotes adoption of the Code of Conduct as a best practice standard of business conduct by
partners, suppliers, consultants, agents, dealers and others with whom it has a long-term relationship. In fact, the Company’s
contracts worldwide include specific clauses relating to recognition and adherence to the principles underlying the Code of
Conduct and related guidelines, as well as compliance with local regulations, particularly those related to corruption, money-
laundering, terrorism and other crimes constituting liability for legal persons.
The Company closely monitors the effectiveness of and compliance with the Code of Conduct. Violations of the
Code of Conduct are usually determined through, among other things: periodic activities carried out by the Internal Audit
department of the Group; reports received in accordance with the whistleblowing management procedures; and checks
forming part of the standard operating procedures. The Internal Audit department investigates violations of the Code of
Conduct during standard periodic or specific audits. Periodic reporting is provided to the Chairman and CEO as well as to the
Audit Committee. For all Code of Conduct violations, the disciplinary measures taken are commensurate with the seriousness
of the case and comply with local legislation. The relevant corporate departments are notified of violations, irrespective of
whether criminal action is taken by the authorities.
Insider Trading Policy
As of January 3, 2016 the Company’s Board of Directors adopted an insider trading policy setting forth guidelines
and recommendations to all Directors, officers and employees of the Group with respect to transactions in the Company’s
securities. This policy, which also applies to immediate family members and members of the households of persons covered
by the policy, is designed to prevent insider trading or allegations of insider trading, and to protect the Company for integrity
and ethical conduct.
Diversity Policy
The Board of Directors adopted a diversity policy for the Board of Directors (the “Diversity Policy”) effective as of
December 31, 2017, since the Company believes that diversity in the composition of the Board of Directors in terms of age,
gender, expertise, professional background and nationality is an important mean of promoting debate, balanced decision
making and independent actions of the Board of Directors.
124
The Diversity Policy gives weight to the following diversity factors in Board of Directors composition: age, gender,
expertise, work and personal background and nationality. The Company considers each of these aspects key drivers to
support the above mentioned goals and to achieve sufficient diversity of views and the expertise needed for a proper
understanding of current affairs and longer-term risks and opportunities related to the Company’s business. The Board of
Directors and its ESG Committee consider such factors when evaluating nominees for election to the Board of Directors and
during the annual performance assessment process.
The Company has achieved all the following concrete targets: (a) at least 30 percent of the seats of the Board of
Directors are occupied by women and at least 30 percent by men; (b) diversity in the age of the members of the Board of
Directors by having one or more members of the Board of Directors aged under 50 at the day of their nomination; provided
that, in the candidate selection process, rules and generally accepted principles of non-discrimination (on grounds such as
ethnic origin, race, disability or sexual orientation) will be taken into account; and (c) the nationality of the members of the
Board of Directors shall be reasonably consistent with the geographic presence of the Company’s business, and that no
nationality should count for more than 60 percent of the members of the Board of Directors.
To ensure its correct implementation, the Diversity Policy will be taken into account in the nomination of executive
Directors, and in the adoption of a profile for non-executive Directors as well as in nominating and recommending non-
executive Directors. Since the financial year 2017, the targets relating to gender and age have been realized. Since 2019 also
the target relating to nationality has been achieved.
Profile of the non-executive Directors
In respect of the composition of the Board of Directors, a profile of the non-executive Directors (the “Profile”) has
been adopted by the Company. The purpose of this profile is to provide guidance with respect to the composition and
expertise of the non-executive Directors. The Profile provides that the Board of Directors shall be composed in such manner
that its composition reflects an adequate mix of technical abilities, professional background and experience, both general and
specific, gained in an international environment and pertaining to the dynamics of the macro-economy and globalization of
markets, more generally, as well as the industrial and financial sectors, more specifically. In selecting and nominating new
non-executive Directors, the Company shall ensure that such non-executive Directors complement the knowledge and
experience of the other non-executive Directors. In selecting and nominating new non-executive Directors, the Company
shall also ensure that the Diversity Policy is taken into account. In recommending prospective candidates for nomination to
the Board of Directors, the ESG Committee shall take into account the Profile. The Profile is posted on our website at https://
corporate.ferrari.com/sites/ferrari15ipo/files/e_fnv_profile_non-executive_directors_13_09_2018_clean_final_new_0.pdf.
Compliance with Dutch Corporate Governance Code
The Company endorses the principles and best practice provisions of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, except for the
following best practice provisions which are explained below:
Best practice provision 2.2.4 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code: The supervisory board should also draw up
a retirement schedule in order to avoid, as much as possible, supervisory board members retiring simultaneously.
The retirement schedule should be published on the company’s website.
The Company does not have a retirement schedule as referred to in best practice provision 2.2.4 of the Dutch
Corporate Governance Code, because the Company’s Articles of Association provide for a term of office of member of the
Board of Directors for a period of approximately one year after appointment, such period expiring on the day the first annual
general meeting of shareholders is held in the following calendar year. Short terms of office for board members are
customary for companies listed in the U.S. As the Company is listed on the NYSE, the Company also follows certain
common U.S. governance practices, one of which is the reappointment of our Directors at each annual general meeting of
shareholders. In light of this term of office, the Company does not have a retirement schedule in place.
Best practice provision 4.1.8 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code: Management board and supervisory board
members nominated for appointment should attend the general meeting at which votes will be cast on their
nomination.
Pursuant to best practice provision 4.1.8 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, every executive and non-
executive Director nominated for appointment should attend the general meeting at which votes will be cast on its
125
nomination. Since, pursuant to Article 14.3 of the Articles of Association, the term of office of Directors is approximately
one year, such period expiring on the day the first annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company is held in the
following calendar year, all members of the Board of Directors are nominated for (re)appointment each year. By publishing
the relevant biographical details and curriculum vitae of each nominee for (re)appointment, the Company ensures that the
Company’s general meeting of shareholders is well informed in respect of the nominees for (re)appointment and in practice
only the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer and the Vice-Chairman will therefore be present at the general meeting.
Best practice provision 5.1.4 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code: Neither the audit committee nor the
remuneration committee can be chaired by the chairman of the management board or by a former executive director
of the company.
Our Senior Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Board of Directors, Mr. Duca, is also the Chairperson of the
Audit Committee, which is not in line with best practice provision 5.1.4 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. The
Company believes that Mr. Duca, in light of his extensive experience with audits and his knowledge in this respect, brings a
valuable contribution to the Audit Committee and therefore believes it is in Ferrari’s best interest and appropriate for Mr.
Duca to chair the Audit Committee.
Best practice provision 5.1.4 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code: The committees referred to in best practice
2.3.2 should be comprised exclusively of non-executive directors.
Mr. Elkann, our Executive Chairman and Executive Director, has a position on the ESG Committee, to which best
practice provision 5.1.4 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code applies. The position of Mr. Elkann as executive Director
in this committee follows inter alia from the duties of the ESG Committee, which are more extensive than the duties of a
selection and appointment committee and include duties that warrant participation of an executive Director in the view of the
Company.
Italian Corporate Governance Code
As regards the Italian framework for corporate governance, the Company is aware that a new version of the corporate
governance code (the “Italian CGC”) has been issued by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., applicable (starting from January 2021) to all
companies with shares listed on the Euronext Milan (formerly named Mercato Telematico Azionario, or MTA).
As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s corporate governance structure is substantially in line with all the principles and
recommendations set forth in the Italian CGC, especially due to the fact that the Company has adopted, and complies with,
the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, which contains principles and best practice provisions largely similar to those
highlighted in the Italian CGC, exception being made for the following:
a)The independent Chair of the Board of Directors cannot chair the control and risk committee (Article 2,
Recommendation no. 7 of the Italian CGC).
Our Senior Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Board of Directors, Mr. Duca, is also the Chairperson of the
Audit Committee, which is not in line with best practice provision under Article 2, Recommendation no. 7 of the Italian
CGC. The Company believes that Mr. Duca, in light of his extensive experience with audits and his knowledge in this
respect, brings a valuable contribution to the Audit Committee and therefore believes it is in Ferrari’s best interest and
appropriate for Mr. Duca to chair the Audit Committee.
b)In large companies, the Board of Directors expresses its guidelines on the maximum number of offices that can be
considered compatible with an effective performance and the time commitment required by the role of the directors. The
relevant offices are those held in corporate bodies of other listed companies or of companies having a significant size
(Article 3, Recommendation no. 15 of the Italian CGC)
Applicable Dutch corporate law already expressly regulates the maximum number of offices that may be held by
directors. Pursuant to Dutch law, persons may not be appointed as non-executive directors if such persons are non-executive
director, member of the supervisory board or other similar bodies for five or more (Dutch) companies of a certain size and
such persons cannot be appointed as executive directors if such persons are non-executive director at more than two other
(Dutch) companies of a certain size or if such person is the chairperson of the board of supervisors or the one tier board of
another (Dutch) company of a certain size. Ferrari is compliant with the above-mentioned Dutch limits.
126
c)In large companies, the Board of Directors elaborates, with the support of the nomination committee, a plan for the
succession of the Chief Executive Officer and executive directors by identifying, at least, the procedures to be followed in the
event of an early termination of office (Article 4, Recommendation no. 24 of the Italian CGC)
The Company’s Board of Directors believes that the members of the Board of Directors itself – chosen and
appointed on the basis of their respective expertise, level of professionalism and knowledge of the Company’s business –
would be capable to carry out (in the absence, due to early termination of the office, of the Chief Executive Officer and/or
any other executive officer) the ordinary business of the Company until the appointment, by the competent corporate body, of
the new Chief Executive Officer and/or other executive officer(s).
Further, the Company’s Board of Directors believes that the decision whether to adopt a succession plan shall be
further analysed bearing in mind the sensitivity of the topic.
Furthermore, the Company believes that the overall system of delegated powers adopted by the Company is
sufficient to mitigate the risk of a vacancy for an executive director or a senior manager and ensure the continuity of the
Company’s business.  The overall system of delegated powers adopted by the Company already includes a succession plan
for the top management which in the Company is represented by the Ferrari Leadership Team. The Company believes that
the above measures help the Company achieving the objective underlying the Code’s principles and in any case contributes to
good corporate governance. Finally, it should be noted that the Company’s Board of Directors has already defined a
procedure to be applied for the appointment of, at least, the Chief Executive Officer, which provides for, inter alia, the
involvement of, inter alia, a specific committee (i.e., the CEO Search Committee), who will assist the ESG Committee with
selecting a new candidate for this office.
REPORT OF THE NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
Introduction
This is the report of the non-executive Directors of the Company over the financial year 2021, as referred to in best
practice provision 5.1.5 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code.
It is the responsibility of the non-executive Directors to supervise the policies carried out by the executive Directors
and the general affairs of the Company and its affiliated enterprise, including the implementation of the strategy of the
Company regarding long-term value creation. In so doing, the non-executive Directors act solely in the interest of the
Company. With a view of maintaining supervision on the Company, the non-executive Directors regularly discuss Ferrari’s
long-term business plans, the implementation of such plans and the risks associated with such plans with the executive
Directors.
According to the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors is a single board and consists of three or more
members, comprising both members having responsibility for the day-to-day management of Ferrari (executive Directors)
and members not having such day-to-day responsibility (non-executive Directors). The tasks of the executive and non-
executive Directors in a one-tier board such as the Company’s Board of Directors may be allocated under or pursuant to the
Articles of Association, provided that the general meeting of shareholders has stipulated whether such Director is appointed
as executive or as non-executive Director and furthermore provided that the task to supervise the performance by the
Directors of their duties can only be performed by the non-executive Directors. Regardless of an allocation of tasks, all
Directors remain collectively responsible for the proper management and strategy of the Company (including supervision
thereof in case of non-executive Directors).
Details of the current composition of the Board of Directors, including the non-executive Directors, and its
committees are set forth in the section “Board of Directors”.
Supervision by the non-executive Directors
The non-executive Directors supervise the policies carried out by the executive Directors and the general affairs of
the Company and its affiliated enterprise. In so doing, the non-executive Directors have also focused on the effectiveness of
the Company’s internal risk management and control systems, the integrity and quality of the financial reporting and Ferrari’s
long-term business plans, the implementation of such plans and the risks associated.
127
The non-executive Directors also determine the remuneration of the executive Directors and nominate candidates for
the Director appointments. Furthermore, the Board of Directors may allocate certain specific responsibilities to one or more
individual Directors or to a committee comprised of eligible Directors of the Company and subsidiaries of the Company. In
this respect, the Board of Directors has allocated certain specific responsibilities to the Audit Committee, the Compensation
Committee and the ESG Committee. Further details on the manner in which these committees have carried out their duties,
are set forth in the sections “The Audit Committee”, “The Compensation Committee” and “The ESG Committee”.
The non-executive Directors supervised the adoption and implementation of the strategies and policies by the Group,
reviewed this annual report, including the Compensation Report and the Group’s financial results, received updates on legal
and compliance matters and they have been regularly involved in the review and approval of transactions entered into with
related parties. The non-executive Directors have also reviewed the reports of the Board of Directors and its committees and
the recommendations for the appointment of Directors.
During 2021, there were four meetings of the Board of Directors. Portions of these meetings took place without the
executive Directors being present. The average attendance at those meetings was 100 percent. An overview of the attendance
of the individual Directors per meeting of the Board of Directors and its committees set out against the total number of such
meetings is set out below:

(1)Mr. Benedetto Vigna was designated as Acting Chief Executive Officer by the Board of Directors effective as of September 16, 2021.
(2)On February 16, 2021, the Company announced that Mr. Roberto Cingolani tendered his resignation from his role as Company’s non-executive
Director and member of the ESG Committee of the Board of Directors effective as of February 13, 2021.
During these meetings, key topics discussed were, amongst others: the Group’s strategy, the Group’s financial
results and reporting, sustainability, acquisitions and divestments, executive compensation, technological developments, risk
management, updates on legal and compliance, risk management, human resources with the Head of Human Resources,
implementation of the Remuneration Policy and the Compensation Report.
Independence of the non-executive Directors
The non-executive Directors are required by Dutch law to act solely in the interest of the Company. The Dutch
Corporate Governance Code stipulates the corporate governance rules relating to the independence of non-executive
Directors and requires under most circumstances that a majority of the non-executive Directors be “independent.”
Currently, eight out of eight non-executive Directors are considered to be independent under the NYSE definition
while seven non-executive Directors are considered to be independent under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. Mr.
128
Piero Ferrari is considered not to be independent under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, since he holds approximately
10 percent of our outstanding common shares. Mr. Sergio Duca, the Senior Non-Executive Director of the Board of
Directors, is independent under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code in accordance with best practice provision 2.1.9 of the
Dutch Corporate Governance Code.
Ferrari is of the opinion that the independency requirements as referred to in best practice provision 2.1.10 of the
Dutch Corporate Governance Code are met by the Company.
Evaluation by the non-executive Directors
The non-executive Directors are responsible for supervising the Board of Directors and its committees, as well as the
individual executive and non-executive Directors, and are assisted by the ESG Committee in this respect.
In accordance with the ESG Committee Charter, the ESG Committee assists and advises the Board of Directors with
respect to periodic assessment of the performance of individual Directors. In this respect, the ESG Committee has, amongst
others, the duties and responsibilities to review annually the Board of Directors’ performance and the performance of its
committees and to review each Director’s continuation on the Board of Directors at appropriate regular intervals as
determined by the ESG Committee.
In 2021, the ESG Committee’s periodic assessments took place during the meeting held on February 25. During that
meeting, the ESG Committee focused on the results of the periodic assessments and the performance of the Board of
Directors, its committees and the individual Directors, keeping also into account the self-assessment prepared by each
Director. During such meeting the ESG Committee dealt also with the directors’ nomination process, the assessment of
Directors’ qualifications, the size and composition of the Board of Directors and the committees, and the recommendations
for Directors’ election.
The non-executive Directors have been regularly informed by each committee as referred to in best practice
provision 2.3.5 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code and the conclusions of those committee were taken into account
when drafting this report of the non-executive Directors.
The non-executive Directors were able to review and evaluate the performance of the Audit Committee, the ESG
Committee and the Compensation Committee based on the assessments made by the ESG Committee. The self-assessment of
the Committees were also discussed by the Board of Directors. The outcome of the evaluations is that there is no need to
amend the size or composition of the Audit Committee, the ESG Committee and the Compensation Committee, nor is there
any reason to amend their charters on this basis. Further details on the manner in which these committees have carried out
their duties, are set forth in sections “The Audit Committee”, “The Compensation Committee” and “The ESG Committee”.
On the basis of the preparations by the ESG Committee, the non-executive Directors were able to review the Board
of Director’s assessments, the individual Directors’ assessments and the recommendation for Directors’ election. The Board
of Directors concluded that each of the Directors continues to demonstrate commitment to its respective role in the Company.
Also, pursuant to the Compensation Committee Charter, the Compensation Committee implements and oversees the
remuneration policy as it applies to non-executive Directors, executive Directors and senior officers reporting directly to the
executive Directors. The Compensation Committee administers all the equity incentive plans and the deferred compensation
benefits plans. On the basis of the assessments performed, the non-executive Directors determine the remuneration of the
executive Directors and nominate candidates for the Director appointments.
The non-executive Directors have supervised the performance of the Audit Committee, the Compensation
Committee and the ESG Committee.
129
STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Based on the assessment performed, the Board of Directors believes that, as of December 31, 2021, the Group’s and the
Company’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting is considered effective and that (i) the Board Report provides sufficient
insights into any material weaknesses in the effectiveness of the internal risk management and control systems (please refer to
section “Principal Characteristics of the Internal Control System and Internal Control over Financial Reporting” of this
Annual Report), (ii) the internal risk management and control systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the
financial reporting does not contain any material inaccuracies (please refer to section “Principal Characteristics of the Internal
Control System and Internal Control over Financial Reporting” of this Annual Report), (iii) based on the current state of
affairs, it is justified that the Group’s and the Company’s financial reporting is prepared on a going concern basis (please
refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Annual Report and Note 2 to the Company Financial
Statements of this Annual Report for additional information on the basis of preparation), and (iv) the Board Report states
those material risks and uncertainties that are, in the Board of Director’s judgment, relevant to the expectation of the
Company’s continuity for the period of twelve months after the preparation of the Board Report (please refer to the chapter
“Risk Factors” of this Annual Report).

Materiality Matrix and Stakeholder Engagement
Materiality Matrix of Ferrari Group
In 2021, we updated the analysis of the most relevant sustainability topics1 (materiality analysis) for the Group and
our stakeholders to better reflect sustainability context developments, changes in our drivers and goals, as well as our
2019-2022 plan and our sustainability strategy. The materiality analysis has been implemented in line with the GRI Standards
and consistently with the SASB Materiality Matrix, which highlighted those sustainability topics that may have financial
impacts, in line with a double materiality perspective which will be further developed in the future. In particular, this was
prepared by taking into account various stakeholder engagement initiatives carried out during the year (as described in the
“Stakeholder Engagement” paragraph) and has been complemented through a qualitative analysis performed by our Ferrari
Leadership Team (hereinafter also the “FLT”, previously referred to as the Senior Management Team, and so renamed as a
result of the organizational changes executed in January 2022), which resulted in the materiality matrix below.
MATERIALITY MATRIX OF FERRARI GROUP
The materiality matrix highlights the assessed topics that are most relevant for the Group and our stakeholders and
therefore represent our strategic sustainability priorities.
Specifically, the most relevant topics are related to product responsibility: Image and brand reputation and
Innovation: technology and design are considered a priority and are increasingly relevant to Ferrari; Quality and safety of
products and customers, Customer satisfaction, Supply chain responsible management and Emissions are also considered of
the upmost importance. Special attention is paid to Ethical business conduct and Risk management and compliance as well.
The analysis confirmed the importance of the development of Human capital and Health and safety. Compared to last year’s
materiality matrix, for our stakeholders, Environmental commitment, Diversity inclusion and non-discrimination as well as
Work-life balance and employees wellness increased their relevance, while Responsible communication and marketing
slightly decreased. 
133
1 The potentially relevant topics are identified by taking into consideration sector benchmarking analyses, UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and
relevant international studies and publications.

Stakeholder Engagement
As an international firm with ambitious corporate objectives and a complex value chain, we need to develop forms
of communication and collaboration with both our internal and external stakeholders that allow us to understand their needs,
interests and expectations. Ferrari's approach to engaging stakeholders aims for honest, clear and effective communication
and consultation, based on constant dialog. To fully understand the needs and perspectives of our stakeholders is a
fundamental part of the value generation process we continuously strive to promote both inside and outside our organization.
This Statement is addressed to all stakeholders involved in our activities, as shown in the following image:
Ferrari believes that building and honing effective communication and collaboration with its internal and external
stakeholders is a key element of sustainable and lasting growth, with a view to conciliate interests and expectations. With this
in mind, over the years we set an ongoing process of stakeholder engagement carrying out initiatives with different levels of
interaction and methods of involvement.
Our Stakeholder Engagement Practice, inspired by the values and principles of the Code of Conduct, seeks to give
all directors, managers and employees of the Ferrari Group, and anyone else working for it or on its behalf, guidelines on the
right methods and forms of interaction with different stakeholders.
In line with the Stakeholder Engagement Practice, in 2021 we carried out various specific activities to enhance the
voice of our stakeholders on sustainability themes. We engaged with our employees through two face-to-face workshops that
had a dual purpose: to further communicate the importance of the sustainability theme and explain what it stands for within
Ferrari, as well as to collect their priorities and suggestions. In addition, we organized two meetings with our employees
participating in the two Ferrari MBA courses to gather their views on the main sustainability-related risks and opportunities
that Ferrari will face in the near future, in connection with the main trends we are witnessing. Moreover, we realized an ad
hoc virtual workshop to engage the students of the Motorvehicle University of Emilia-Romagna (MUNER). Furthermore, we
collected our dealers’ expectations on ESG topics through a questionnaire. Finally, we engaged with our top investors to
better understand what they consider to be the main ESG drivers for Ferrari, as well as participating every year in a variety of
ESG questionnaires such as the SAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), ranking in the top quartile of our industry
in the last assessment, the CDP Climate Change and CDP Water questionnaires, obtaining a “B” and “C” rating respectively
in 2021. All these activities allowed us to further strengthen our materiality analysis.
137
Considering the rising environmental and social changes, these engagement activities are an important part of the
sustainability approach that helps us identify potential updates in our sustainability material topics, risks and opportunities, as
well as supporting management in achieving the Company’s objectives.
The main outcomes of the engagement activities implemented in 2021 showed an increased attention of our
stakeholders toward environmental responsibility, confirming the importance of reducing emissions, and the attention to
employee-related topics. Education was confirmed as a key element by the stakeholders involved.
Ferrari firmly believes that keeping a profitable dialog and collaboration with its stakeholders is essential and
intends to continue the path of engagement undertaken, with a view to continuous improvement.
138
Proactively fostering best practice governance
Our ESG Committee
The ESG Committee (formerly the Governance and Sustainability Committee) of our Board of Directors is
responsible for, among other things, assisting and advising the Board of Directors, and acting under authority delegated by
the Board of Directors, with respect to: (i) drawing up the selection criteria and appointment procedures for members of the
Board of Directors; (ii) periodic assessment of the size and composition of the Board of Directors and as appropriate making
proposals for a composition profile of the Board of Directors; (iii) periodic assessment of the performance of individual
directors and reporting this to the Board of Directors; (iv) proposals to the non-executive members of the Board of Directors
for the nomination and re-nomination of directors to be elected by the shareholders; (v) supervision of the policy on the
selection and appointment criteria for senior management and on succession planning; and (vi) monitoring, evaluation and
reporting on the strategy, targets, achievements, disclosures and reports relating to ESG matters globally of the Company and
its subsidiaries. On December 14, 2021 the Board of Directors changed the name of the former Governance and
Sustainability Committee into ESG Committee and approved a new committee charter effective as of the same date.
The term “ESG” refers to the following: (1) Environmental: the Company’s impact on the natural environment, its
carbon footprint and its response to the relevant challenges, including pollution, efficient use of natural resources (i.e. water
and energy), waste management and reduction, emissions and environmental impact of the Company’s supply chain; (2)
Social: the Company’s role within the society and its interaction with stakeholders and communities, including workplace
policies, employee engagement and well-being, diversity, nondiscrimination and equal treatment, responsible sourcing, social
aspects of the supply chain and engagement with the communities in which the Company operates (charitable donations and
social projects); (3) Governance: the Company’s corporate governance framework and any applicable standards, codes and
best practices.
In 2021, the ESG Committee consisted of Mr. Elkann (Chairperson), Mrs. Arnault and Mr. Cue.
The ESG Committee is elected by the Board of Directors and is comprised of at least three Directors. At least more
than half of the members shall be independent under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, and at most one of the members
may be an executive Director.
In 2021 the ESG Committee met once with 100 percent attendance of its members. The Committee reviewed, inter
alia, the Board of Directors’ and Committee’s assessments, the Sustainability achievement and objectives, and the
recommendations for Directors’ election.
Our Decision-Making Process
The FLT is responsible for reviewing the operating performance of the businesses, collaborating on certain
operational matters, supporting the Chief Executive Officer with his tasks and executing the decisions of the Board of
Directors and the day-to-day management of the Company, primarily as it relates to operational management. The FLT is led
by the Chief Executive Officer and is composed of the heads of the operating and central functions.
Starting from 2022, at management level we have defined new cross-functional committees, among which one is
responsible for the strategic positioning of the Ferrari Brand and cross-functional projects to sustain excellence in every area,
starting from our priority to reach carbon neutrality by 2030, addressing direct and indirect GHG emissions, focusing on
energy and materials, in addition to our electrification journey.
Our Chief Financial Officer, a member of the FLT, is responsible for the sustainability function, which oversees the
coordination of the sustainability activities within the Group, promoting dialog between different teams and functions, and
identifying risks and opportunities.
Integrity of Business Conduct
At Ferrari, we seek to develop a cooperative environment in which the dignity of each individual is respected and
that embodies the highest ethical standards in business conduct. We are committed to maintaining a fair, secure, productive
and inclusive workplace for all members of our workforce, in which everyone is valued for their unique contribution.
139
The foundation of Ferrari’s governance model is the Code of Conduct that embodies a set of values recognized,
adhered to and promoted by the Company. Ferrari believes that a conduct based on the principles of diligence, integrity and
fairness is a key driver for the social and economic development. Ferrari endorses the United Nations (“UN”) Declaration on
Human Rights, the International Labor Organization (“ILO”) Conventions and the Organization for Economic Co-Operation
and Development (“OECD”) Guidelines for Multinational Companies. Accordingly, our Code of Conduct aims to ensure that
all members of Ferrari Group workforce act with the highest level of integrity and comply with applicable laws, thus
contributing to build a better future for our Company and the communities in which we do business. Ferrari’s Code of
Conduct can be found on our corporate website at http://corporate.ferrari.com/en/governance/code-conduct. Ferrari’s integrity
system sets the foundation for the corporate governance of Ferrari Group and includes a framework comprised of the
following primary elements:
Principles that capture Ferrari’s commitment to important values in business and personal conduct;
Practices that are the basic rules that must guide our daily behaviors in order to achieve our overarching Principles;
Procedures that further articulate Ferrari’s specific operational approaches for achieving compliance and that may
have specific applications limited to certain geographical regions and/or businesses, as appropriate.
Our Code of Conduct is approved by the board of directors of Ferrari N.V. and is applicable to the whole Ferrari
Group. It applies to all Ferrari Group board members and officers, full-time and part-time employees, as well as to all
temporary, contract and all other individuals and companies that act on behalf of Ferrari Group, regardless of their location.
The Group Compliance and Internal Audit departments investigate possible violations of the Code of Conduct also through
the management of the Ethics Helpline, as well as during standard periodic audits and through specific Business Ethics and
Compliance (“BEC”) audits. In 2021, BEC surveys were conducted in order to measure employees’ awareness on topics such
as: Code of Conduct, Whistleblowing Procedure, Gifts and Entertainment Expenses’ Management. In light of the results,
dedicated actions, such as training and awareness activities, have been implemented.
Human Rights
Ferrari’s commitment to respect, protect and promote human rights is laid down in the Human Rights Practice,
which is inspired by the guiding principles set forth in the Code of Conduct and defines Ferrari’s main commitments to a
corporate culture dedicated to ethics and integrity. In particular, the Human Rights Practice sets out key principles such as the
prohibition of child labor, compulsory labor and forced labor, the attention to a healthy and safe working environment for our
employees, the rejection of any form of abuse, harassment and discrimination, the zero tolerance in respect of corruption and
the protection of the rights of local communities.

Anti-Bribery and Corruption
Ferrari Group is committed to the highest standards of integrity, honesty and fairness in all internal and external
affairs and does not tolerate any kind of bribery. The laws of virtually all countries in which Ferrari operates prohibit bribery
and any violation of anti-bribery and anticorruption laws would entail serious consequences for both companies and
individuals, which can result in significant fines, imprisonment of individuals and reputational damages.
Ferrari’s policy is that no one - director, officer or other employee, consultant, agent, representative,
supplier or business partner - shall, directly or indirectly, give, offer, request, promise, authorize, solicit or accept bribes or
any other perquisite (including gifts or gratuities, with the exception of commercial items universally accepted in an
international context of modest economic value, permitted by applicable laws and in compliance with the Code of Conduct
and all applicable practices and procedures) in connection with their work for Ferrari at any time or for any reason.
In this respect, Ferrari has adopted the Anticorruption Compliance Practice, which is considered the document of
reference for anticorruption matters by all worldwide Ferrari branches and subsidiaries and is applied in each country in
accordance with local legislation. The Anticorruption Compliance Practice establishes the general rules of conduct that must
be followed in order to prevent corruption-related crimes and ensure compliance with the anticorruption laws to which Ferrari
is subject. Such rules are further enhanced in internal Procedures regulating those specific areas deemed at risk from an
anticorruption perspective.
143
Furthermore, during 2021 dedicated trainings on Anticorruption and Conflict of Interests have been provided to our
employees, with the aim to promote the consistency of their behaviors with the applicable anticorruption laws and
regulations.
Dealings with Third Parties
Dealing with third parties entails inherent risks, in particular in terms of potential corporate liabilities, as well as
financial and reputational damages that Ferrari may suffer as a consequence of unlawful conducts carried out by third parties
with which it does business (“Third Parties”). Hence, Ferrari strongly believes that the capability to adequately evaluate
Third Parties, as well as promptly address any threats and risk factors, represents an essential requirement for the protection
of its assets, integrity and reputation in an overall and long-term vision.
Ferrari is committed to only collaborating with Third Parties that meet certain requirements both in terms of
compliance with applicable laws and regulations and in relation to ethics, integrity and transparency. In this respect, Ferrari
has adopted the Third Parties Compliance Practice, that establishes the general rules of conduct that must be followed at
Group level when dealing with any Third Parties, including active and passive counterparties as well as any further Third
Parties with which Ferrari may establish contractual relationships.
In particular, the Third Parties Compliance Practice underlines the importance of carrying out a “compliance
evaluation” before establishing any business relationship with a Third Party in order to examine its ethical reliability and
reputation, its involvement in a legitimate and lawful business, and its commitment to share Ferrari’s values of integrity and
fairness.
By adhering to the principles outlined in the Third Parties Compliance Practice, Third Parties are therefore expected
not only to comply with applicable laws and Ferrari’s ethical principles and standards, but also to become active parties
towards their own employees and their respective third parties in order to disseminate a culture of compliance, integrity and
transparency.
In this respect, during 2021 numerous internal Procedures governing dealings with Third Parties have been revised
in order to strengthen the preventive control activities that must be carried out prior to the establishment of the respective
business relationships.
Antitrust
Ferrari Group recognizes the paramount importance of a competitive market and is committed to fully comply with
antitrust and other pro-competition legislation in force in the countries where it operates (“Antitrust Laws”), believing that
compliance with Antitrust Laws is crucial to Ferrari Group’s reputation.
Ferrari defines and pursues its commercial activities and targets in autonomy and independence with respect to any
competitors, operating on the basis of its own strategic and commercial decisions, and strictly rejects any form of
anticompetitive conduct. The Ferrari Group and its directors, officers, and other employees shall comply with these principles
and refrain from any form of action, omission or business practices that might represent an antitrust violation.
To strengthen its commitment to a free and fair competition, Ferrari adopted the Antitrust Compliance Practice,
which outlines - at Group level - the rules and principles that all members of Ferrari’s workforce must follow, as well as the
actions and controls that they shall perform in order to prevent antitrust offences and ensure compliance with Antitrust Laws.
Furthermore, during 2021 Ferrari has started the adoption of an Antitrust Compliance Program in line with the
Guidelines on Antitrust Compliance developed by the Italian Competition Authority, which includes procedures, internal
controls, as well as training and awareness activities.
Compliance with Economic Sanctions’ Regulations
Economic Sanctions are those provisions adopted by governments and institutions for managing crisis scenarios,
such as resolution of conflicts and fight against terrorism, and guaranteeing respect for human rights and fundamental
freedoms, in the common foreign and security policy.
144
Such provisions may include export license obligations, commercial restrictions, such as the so-called trade
embargoes, financial restrictions and restrictions on movement, which can be targeted to states, organizations, natural and
legal persons.
It follows that Ferrari Group, in carrying out its activities, is required to evaluate and respect such blocks,
prohibitions and restrictive measures, in particular in relation to dealings with third parties and transactions that potentially
determine the involvement of countries for which Sanctions risks apply.
In this respect, during 2021 Ferrari adopted the Sanctions Compliance Practice, designed to formalize the internal
roles and responsibilities as well as the principles and general rules aimed at preventing conducts that may violate Economic
Sanctions laws and regulations.
Whistleblowing
Ferrari Group adopts the Ethics Helpline, a channel which allows all stakeholders (employees, customers, suppliers
and partners) to request advice and/or report concerns about alleged situations, events or actions which may be inconsistent
with values and principles set out in the Code of Conduct, Organizational Models, laws and regulations, as well as business
practices and corporate rules. The allegations are assessed by the relevant departments of Ferrari and managed in accordance
with the Whistleblowing Procedure, that has been prepared on the basis of the international best practices as well as to the
applicable laws and regulations.
The Ethics Helpline can be accessed either by phone or by web (with multiple languages available) and is an
essential element of the management process, in accordance with the Code of Conduct. It is managed by an independent
provider, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All reports are processed with the utmost confidentiality on reported
subjects and facts, so that the individuals who report an alleged violation in good faith are not subject to any form of
retaliation. In particular, stakeholders can also report alleged violations anonymously if permitted by local law.
Furthermore, Ferrari employees may also seek advice concerning the application and/or interpretation of the Code of
Conduct by contacting the reference people included in the Worldwide Ethics and Compliance Contact List.
Internal Audit and Group Compliance departments, with the support of the Legal Affairs and Human Resources
departments, as well as other business functions possibly involved, assess all the allegations. The results and potential
disciplinary actions are then reported based on the necessary escalation process (the relevant internal functions are notified of
the violations).
In addition, in order to provide maximum transparency to the entire process, a Whistleblowing Committee has been
appointed, composed of the heads of Internal Audit, Group Compliance, Legal Affairs and Human Resources departments.
The Whistleblowing Committee meets periodically to monitor the progress of the investigations and ensures that the concerns
raised are handled appropriately. Periodic reporting on whistleblowing management is provided to the CEO as well as to the
Audit Committee.
The violations are categorized according to the Principles of the Code of Conduct listed in the table below.

In this context, the reports received are a key instrument for Internal Audit and Group Compliance departments to
identify violations of the Code of Conduct. For all Code of Conduct violations, the disciplinary measures taken are
commensurate with the seriousness of the case and comply with the applicable legislation.
Furthermore, in 2021 a dedicated training on whistleblowing has been provided in favor of our employees, in order
to raise awareness on the importance of a company culture based on ethics and integrity, as well as detail the process by
which employees can report suspected or actual misconducts.
Cybersecurity, data protection and privacy
Cybersecurity
As our technology continues to evolve, we anticipate to collect and store even more data in the future, and that our
IT systems will improve security countermeasures against the risks of willful and unintentional security breaches. Much of
our value is derived from our confidential business information, including car design, proprietary technology and trade
secrets. We also collect, retain and use certain personal information, including data we gather from clients for product
development and marketing purposes, and data we obtain from employees. Any unauthorized access to our IT systems may
compromise the confidentiality of Ferrari’s intellectual property or the privacy of our customers’ information and expose us
to claims as well as reputational damage. For these reasons, Ferrari has always paid the outmost attention to cybersecurity.
We have created a system of procedures, policies, services, infrastructures and training as well as awareness to address all
facets of cybersecurity currently known.
The area that has been nurtured the most is information protection with a focus on preventing data breaches, which
has been addressed through several tools & countermeasures, for example by providing Ferrari tested and managed PCs to all
users who connect to our network, extending it to our employees as well as to third parties. The user and device
authentication has strongly increased the control over the access and management of information. As experienced during the
COVID-19 pandemic, allowing people to work from home with the same level of security as if they were in the office.
All employees are provided with specific training on information security and cybersecurity. Training is also offered
to external workers. This training is delivered both online and in classroom, and it is part of regularly launched training
campaigns. A specific session on information security and cybersecurity is also part of the two-day induction program for
new employees.
On a weekly basis, the Company performs vulnerability analysis to detect areas of weakness in the information/
cyber security system, both internally and externally. Penetration tests are executed periodically by an external provider.
Until the end of 2021, the Head of IT Security & Compliance was the function responsible for overseeing
cybersecurity. It directly reported to the Group's CIO who, in turn, reported to the Group's CFO, who is a member of the
Ferrari Leadership Team.
Starting from January 2022, the ICT department became Digital & Data department directly reporting into the CEO.
The head of IT Security & Compliance changed in Head of Cybersecurity and continues to report directly into the Chief of
Digital & Data Officer, formerly the CIO, who is a member of the Ferrari Leadership Team.
146
Cybersecurity topics are discussed in various internal Committees several times per year, as well as at the Audit
Committee level at least once a year.
Data Protection and Privacy
We care about processing data in a safe and transparent manner and act in accordance with the current legislative
framework that governs the processing of our personal data at global scale, including but not limited to the General Data
Protection Regulation “GDPR” (EU Regulation no. 2016/679) and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 “CCPA”.
The data protection legal framework has steadily developed in the recent years and has brought a new consciousness about
privacy. More than ever before, data protection and privacy have become fundamental, as they have been heavily impacted
by the COVID-19 pandemic. In these specific circumstances, processing of personal data is necessary in order to take
appropriate measures to contain the spread of the virus and subsequently mitigate its effects.
Data protection and privacy law requires, among others, the application of increased transparency obligations, the
introduction of common records of processing activities, the appointment of a Data Protection Officer “DPO”, an effective
response mechanism to data subjects’ privacy-related requests and - where advisable - privacy impact assessments before
processing personal data.
Within this context, we have adopted a progressive approach to ensure compliance with data protection and privacy
law requirements, such as the implementation of new processes (e.g. system collecting consents and privacy notices adoption
of a new Governance tool in order to periodically update the records of processing activities as well as to perform privacy
impact assessments), the creation of new internal procedures (e.g. Privacy Procedure, Privacy by Design , appointment and
management of system administrators, management of requests from data subjects etc.), the guarantee of an effective and
prompt response to requests from data subjects (e.g. implementation of an online portal which will allow consumers to make
privacy requests), the update of privacy notices, the drafting of operating instructions for authorized persons within the
Company, the designation of internal privacy referents within Company departments and the creation of an internal Privacy
Committee. Regular e-learning courses, aimed at raising the awareness on the data privacy regulations and requirements, are
organized for and addressed to the newly hired employees who are involved in the processing of personal data.
Dedicated face-to-face trainings have been delivered to the Privacy Referents and to the Customer Care.
Sustainability Risks
We are committed to creating a culture of sustainability. Creating such a culture requires effective risk management,
responsible and proactive decision-making, and innovation. Our efforts are aimed at minimizing the negative impacts of our
business. Our risk management approach is an important business driver and it is integral to the achievement of the Group’s
long-term business plan. We take an integrated approach to risk management, where risk and opportunity assessment are at
the core of the leadership team agenda. The Board of Directors is responsible for considering the ability to control and
manage risks crucial to achieving its identified business targets, and for the continuity of the Group.
Ferrari has adopted the last publication (“Enterprise Risk Management - Integrating Strategy and Performance”) of
the COSO Framework (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) as the foundation of its
enterprise risk management (ERM).
In order to ensure the adequateness of its internal risk management and control systems, Ferrari has structured its
risk management process and internal control systems based on the “Three Level of Controls Model”. Each level of controls
has different roles and responsibilities with clearly defined boundaries:
The first level of control is composed of the functional management who is responsible for embedding risk
management and internal control systems into each business process. First line of control has the ownership,
responsibility and accountability for assessing and mitigating risks. It is constituted by core business Risk Owners,
staff functions Risk Owners and by the FLT.
The second level of control is composed of the functions that oversee risk management across the company
processes, monitoring and facilitating the implementation of effective risk management and control activities by the
first line of control. It is constituted by Compliance, Strategic, Operational and Reporting functions such as
Enterprise Risk Management, Group Compliance, Sustainability, SOX, Health & Safety, Ecology & Energy,
Supplier Risk Management, Financial Risk Management, Quality, Group Financial Control and IT Security.
147
The third level of control is composed of Internal Audit that provides independent assurance on efficiency and
effectiveness of Ferrari's risk management, governance and internal control processes.
The FLT is responsible for identifying, prioritizing and mitigating risks, and for the establishment and maintenance
of a risk management system across our business functions. Our risk management framework is discussed with the Group’s
Audit Committee at least on an annual basis.
We have integrated the analysis and assessment of socio-environmental risks in our risk management framework and
are currently integrating our risk management activities with the outcomes of the materiality analysis described in the
paragraph “Materiality Matrix of Ferrari Group”.
In particular, the following key risks and risk trends are the ones related to our most material topics. Further
information on sustainability risks and the related management approaches put in place by Ferrari are reported throughout
this Statement.

Performance cars are characterized by leading-edge technology that is constantly evolving. In particular, advances in
racing technology often lead to improved technology in road cars. As technologies change, we plan to upgrade or adapt our
cars and introduce new models in order to continue to provide cars with the latest technology. However, our cars may not
compete effectively with our competitors’ cars if we are not able to develop, source and integrate the latest technology into
our cars, also taking into consideration external factors such as the shortening of raw materials and components, faster
obsolescence of components and the evolution of regulations on (for example) safety, noise, environmental and sustainability.

Our business depends on a significant number of suppliers that provide raw materials, parts and systems we require
to manufacture cars and parts to run our business. We source materials from a limited number of suppliers. In addition,
similar to other small volume car manufacturers, most of the key components we use in our cars are purchased from single
source suppliers.
We work with strategic partners in various areas of our business such as manufacturing and since their approach
might differ from our own standards, Ferrari is exposed to performance, operational, financial and reputational risks
regarding its suppliers. The COVID-19 pandemic could contribute to the financial distress for our suppliers leading to
reduction or termination of their operations.
In addition, potential unethical or improper business practices by suppliers could have a negative effect on the
company’s reputation considering the high exposure of the Ferrari brand and image.
Furthermore, the increase of components and products’ complexity and the increase of car volumes produced could
result in further pressure on suppliers’ activities.

vehicle safety and noise emission concerns, and regulatory enforcement has become more active in recent years.
A detailed description of how we respond to these risks can be found in the section “Risk Management Process and
Internal Control Systems”.
Responsible Supply Chain
Our focus on excellence, in terms of luxury, quality, aesthetics and performance, requires us to implement a
responsible and efficient supply chain management in order to select suppliers and partners that are able to meet our high
standards. Notwithstanding the low volume of cars manufactured, our production process requires a great variety of inputs
entailing a complex supply chain management to ensure continuity of production. We source a variety of components (among
which transmissions, brakes, driving-safety systems and others), raw materials (such as aluminum or special steel), supplies,
utilities, logistics and other services from numerous suppliers.
Ferrari encourages the adoption and sharing of sustainable practices among our business partners, suppliers and
dealers. All suppliers must respect the Ferrari Code of Conduct, which includes the set of values recognized, adhered to and
promoted by our Company. The Code of Conduct was updated to include specific guidelines relating to the respect of human
rights and conflicts of interest. The Group made its best effort to ensure that the Code of Conduct is regarded as a best
practice of business conduct and followed by third parties, including long lasting relationships and business partners such as
suppliers, dealers, advisors and agents. The selection of suppliers is based not only on the quality and competitiveness of their
products and services, but also their adherence to social, ethical and environmental principles.
Strategic suppliers are assessed through a risk analysis that aims at identifying critical suppliers, thanks to a mix of
financial-compliance and industrial assessments. Their growth capability is analyzed to identify where we need to support the

development of our business partners to help them meet the requests of the Group. Starting from 2020, we are strengthening
our suppliers’ qualification and selection processes in order to verify not only their technical capability and financial solidity,
but also - through a screening methodology - their reliability in terms of ethics, integrity and reputation (the so-called
“Compliance Evaluation”). Moreover, a pilot project was launched in 2021 to assess suppliers according to sustainability
criteria. A considerable part of our relevant suppliers have been engaged and assessed through a questionnaire that covered
the following topics: ethics, human rights, health and safety and environmental impact. Based on the results of the
assessment, different action plans will be undertaken. In the next few years, we aim to progressively extend the scope of this
activity. In addition, we identified and engaged 91 suppliers who were among the most impactful in terms of GHG emissions
in relation to our activities through CDP Supply Chain questionnaire. All of this aims at reducing supply chain emissions and
driving the low-carbon transition.
Before engaging a new supplier7, the competent departments of Ferrari Group conduct an adequate Compliance
Evaluation on the potential supplier in order to examine its ethical reliability and reputation, its involvement in a legitimate
and lawful business, and its commitment to share Ferrari’s values of integrity, fairness and compliance. The Compliance
Evaluation is capable of identifying potential risks for Ferrari under different perspectives, such as: anticorruption, trade
sanctions, money-laundering, conflict of interests, ethics and reputation.
Conflict minerals
Ferrari supports the goal of preventing the exploitation of minerals violating human rights, with specific reference to
tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold (collectively, “3TG” or “Conflict Minerals”) originated from high-risk or conflict affected
countries (“Covered Countries”), that may be included in our cars. As part of Ferrari’s commitment to respect and promote
human rights and the sustainability of its operations, Ferrari selects suppliers based not only on the quality and
competitiveness of their products and services, but also on their adherence to social, ethical and environmental principles, as
outlined in Ferrari’s Code of Conduct.
Therefore, we place a high priority on responsible sourcing and the integrity of our suppliers and we strive to ensure
that the livelihoods of individuals in Covered Countries are not harmed by our efforts.
In particular, Ferrari has developed actions and strategies aimed at complying with the applicable Conflict Minerals
provisions, with specific reference to those established by Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act and the subsequent rules
promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, requiring companies to determine whether 3TG in their
supply chain originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its adjoining countries, and whether the procurement
of those minerals supported the armed conflict.
Due to the complexity of our supply chain, we are dependent upon suppliers to provide the information necessary to
correctly identify the smelters and refiners that produce the 3TG contained in our products and take appropriate action to
determine that these smelters and refiners source responsibly. In accordance with the Organization for Economic Co-
operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-
Affected and High-Risk Areas, we have established an internal management system in relation to the supply of Conflict
Minerals with the objective, inter alia, of: (1) minimizing the trade in Conflict Minerals that directly or indirectly finance or
benefit armed groups anywhere in the world; and (2) enabling legitimate minerals from conflict and high-risk regions to enter
Ferrari’s global supply chain, thereby supporting the economies and the local communities that depend on the export of such
minerals.
Specifically, we:
expect our suppliers to assure that the 3TG in their products do not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed
groups in the Covered Countries; and
require all of our 3TG suppliers to conduct the necessary due diligence and provide us with adequate information on
the country of origin and source of the materials used in the products they supply to us.
In 2020, 94% of Ferrari’s direct suppliers by purchased value submitted responses to our survey. We are strongly
committed to increasing the coverage of our analysis and the response rate through targeted actions.
Exceeding expectations
151
7 In 2021, 100% of Ferrari S.p.A. new suppliers were evaluated with this screening methodology.
Innovation is in our DNA and we will continue pushing boundaries to respond to customers’ desires, always setting
new standards in the “Ferrari way”.
Research, Innovation and Technology
Innovation drives products and processes, which represents one of our key differentiating factors. This is why we are
focused on developing new technologies and distinctive designs.
Participation in the Formula 1 World Championship with Scuderia Ferrari is an important source of technological
innovation, which is then transferred or adapted into our road cars, such as the hybrid configuration of the SF90 Stradale.
Moreover, our development efforts take into account the three defining dimensions of Ferrari cars: performance, versatility
and comfort, as well as driving emotions. In addition to these internally driven factors, regulation is key in determining the
direction of technical innovation.
One of our other main focuses is on innovating our working methods, which involves stimulating the creativity of
our employees. With this in mind, we have implemented programs designed to encourage the development of ideas and
solutions that will improve products, methods and the working environment. Pole Position Evo, for instance, rewards ideas
put forward by individual staff members. In 2021, we received around 8,200 suggestions from employees.
Our focus on excellence requires a strong collaboration with our suppliers, and a handful of them are considered
“key strategic innovation partners”. Collaborations with leading universities are also in place to foster the development of
new ideas.
Technological breakthroughs are further enhanced through design. In 2010, the Ferrari Design Center was
established as a best-in-class in-house design department to improve control over the design process and to ensure long-term
continuity of the Ferrari style. A guiding principle of the Ferrari style is that each new model represents a clear departure
from prior models and introduces new and distinctive aesthetic elements, delivering constant innovation within the furrow of
tradition. Our designers, modelers and engineers work together to create car bodies that incorporate the most innovative
aerodynamic solutions within the elegant and powerful lines typical of Ferrari cars.
The R&D investments and expenses to fuel the growth of the Group, as described above, are represented in the
charts below8.
Customer Satisfaction

8 Capital expenditures (Capex) include right-of-use assets recognized in accordance with IFRS 16 – Leases within PP&E, for approx. Euro 13 million in
2021, for approx. Euro 25 million in 2020 and for approx. Euro 13 million in 2019.
We are devoted to the highest level of customer satisfaction. We have a structured process to assess the overall
customer satisfaction on product, service provided, events organized by us and the overall customer experience with the car.
Specific KPIs are constantly monitored and analyzed by the Marketing Intelligence department. The KPIs are measured
through bespoke surveys for each car launch and collected for every new model, from range vehicles to special and limited
editions. A similar approach is adopted for evaluating the quality of service and satisfaction of our events.
The results of the product and service satisfaction analyses are used to outline any necessary action plans for current
models and, additionally, to identify potential features to be added to the next generation of vehicles. Recent surveys show
that customer satisfaction for Ferrari products and services has constantly stayed at a very high level.
The chart below shows the flow between clients, dealers and Ferrari.
We have developed an integrated system between our customer care, dealers, marketing department and area
managers to track all contacts with clients, manage inquiries and share the results of customer and dealer satisfaction
analysis.
Vehicle Safety
Vehicle safety is among our top priorities and Ferrari cars are always designed and manufactured with the safety of
our customers and other road users in mind. Given the nature of our cars, the electronic equipment is developed with an
integrated approach, ensuring the best balance between safety, control and best-in-class performance, to further enhance the
Ferrari driving emotions.
All of our range models are subject to a series of tests to obtain approval from the relevant authorities. Moreover, we
start assessing all our new models at an early stage of planning and design to identify areas of improvement.
153
To guarantee the highest level of passenger safety, we develop both passive and active safety systems.
Passive safety requirements are the initial guidelines assigned to the engineers in order to define the design of every
component, from car framework to all the retain components (airbags, seat belts, etc.). Moreover, specific devices are
installed in racing cars to obtain FIA (Federation International de l’Automobile) approval.
With the aim of solving issues beforehand and reducing the environmental impact of these activities, all tests are
reproduced in a state-of-the-art virtual environment before conducting them with real cars.
Regarding active safety, we believe that the future developments of vehicle safety will be linked to Advanced Driver
Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Human-Machine Interface (HMI), capable of preventing or mitigating crash occurrences.
We are currently assessing the implementation of the most recent trends and developments in terms of simplifying and easing
the interaction between the car and the driver to avoid any distraction. ADAS are included into our entire fleet and we are
working to implement new solutions for our upcoming models, such as lane keeping assist, intelligent speed assist and
driving drowsiness.
The SF90 Stradale, the first hybrid series-production car in Ferrari’s history, encapsulates the most advanced
technologies developed in Maranello, including the HMI which, with its track-derived “eyes on the road, hands on the
steering wheel” philosophy, takes on a truly central role. The result is an HMI (Human-Machine Interface) that is a complete
departure from previous models. The “hands-on-the-steering-wheel” philosophy has consistently driven the development of
the human-machine interface in every Ferrari F1 car and its subsequent gradual transfer to our road-going sports cars. The
SF90 Stradale’s steering wheel completes the transfer process from racing and also ushers in a new era by introducing a
series of touch commands that allow the driver to control the most important performance-related aspect of the car without
ever taking their hands off the wheel. The Head Up Display is another part of the innovative HMI and allows various data to
be projected onto the windshield within the driver’s field of vision so that their attention is not distracted from driving. We
extended this innovative HMI to the Ferrari Roma and 296 GTB.
Regarding further aspects of vehicle safety, please refer to See “Overview of Our Business - Regulatory Matters –
Vehicle safety”.
Being the employer of choice
The high attention and care for our products is the foundation upon which Ferrari’s success is built and this is
feasible thanks to the efforts of the people working in Ferrari. One of the many strengths is the ability to attract, retain and
develop talents. Since 1997, we have developed the “Formula Uomo” initiative, with the intention of developing a high
quality working life for our employees. In 2021, we carried out all the initiatives for our people, always in accordance with
the most stringent COVID-19 pandemic related laws and protocols. Over the years, the project has become a pillar of our
culture, based on redesigning the working environment, enforcing a safety-first culture, enabling individual development,
enhancing teamwork and building a community now comprising 57 different nationalities.
In 2021, we started the program “Formula Insieme”, whose aim is to pursue the continuous development of Ferrari
through a “plan, do, check, act” approach, starting from our employees’ opinions, gaining awareness of their points of view
and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement. The starting point was an online survey, which took place between
April and May, through which we collected the opinions of our employees on different topics concerning the working
environment like safety, change readiness, open culture and many others. This survey reached an exceptional participation
rate of about 90%. Following this, Ferrari shared the survey results with all employees and structured an action plan based on
the employees’ proposals.
Working environment
We know that the best individual and team performance is only achieved if employees feel they are in the right
environment. We also believe that the quality of our products cannot be separated from the lives of the people working in
Ferrari.
This is why the working environment and wellbeing of the Company’s employees are among our most important
priorities, representing the key focus of our “Formula Uomo” initiatives.
154
Our complex in Maranello, a state-of-the-art work environment, was designed to reinforce the synergistic
relationship between work and results. With the needs of our employees firmly in mind, our manufacturing facilities are
specifically created to combine carefully designed lighting systems, projected to maximize the amount of natural light, and
several external and internal green areas. Thermal comfort throughout the factory is also a crucial requirement and, since
2013, the in-plant foundry is equipped with a cooling system that makes it air-conditioned and climate controlled. Special
measures aimed at reducing the environmental impact and noise through the use of advanced technologies are also in place.
As an example, the design of our Machining department is aimed at providing the workplace with maximum acoustic comfort
thanks to noise reduction solutions (source and reverberation).
To promote an active lifestyle among our employees, we rely on our “Formula Benessere” program, aimed at
providing preventative healthcare to employees and their children. A gym is available for all the employees at Maranello,
while employees at the Modena plant have free membership in one of the city gyms. Initially provided to the F1 racing team
as part of their training program for the Grand Prix activities, the initiative was subsequently rolled out to all employees.
While waiting for the reopening of the gym, virtual training classes are available on demand for all employees with the
dedicated App. As part of the “Formula Benessere” benefits, preventative healthcare is provided to all employees and their
children. Medical specialists are available for consultation in areas such as ophthalmic, cardiology, osteopathy and
dermatology, among others. A free annual check-up focusing on general health and fitness is also provided to managers and
children of all employees aged 5 to 15. For our people involved in F1 World Championship we developed the “Health Pit
Stop”. This program aims to foster people’s health by enhancing their psycho/physical performance through annual medical
check-ups and nutritional, performance and medical programs. Moreover, people can access medical and physiotherapeutic
support during trips related to the Formula 1 World Championship.
Our attention to the promotion of health and safety among our employees goes beyond what is required by law and,
to this effect, special workshops are organized for employees to raise awareness on the importance of these topics.
To foster a sense of belonging among employees and their families and to offer concrete support to working parents
with the demanding duties of childcare during school holidays, we have launched the program “Formula Estate Junior”. This
initiative consists of a free day camp for employees’ children aged 3 to 13, with various programs including sports, outdoor
activities, excursions and workshops. The program, which has reached its 13th edition, allows children to enjoy an exciting
experience with a didactic purpose: each edition of the “Formula Estate Junior” camp has an educational theme developed by
professional educators (136 in 2021) and is organized in collaboration with the local community. The 2021 edition was still
affected by COVID-19 restrictions but showed a participation of over 600 children, an increase compared to the previous one,
even if the number of educators was the same as in 2020, as the legislation changed.
Education is also the focus of a series of different initiatives that provide scholarships to talented junior high, high
school and university students. In 2021, our scholarship program, named after our founder “Enzo Ferrari”, was awarded to 85
talented students with the awards handed out by our Chairman during an outdoor event. Moreover, in 2021 we reimbursed
about 800 employees for the cost of their children’s textbooks (reimbursement is offered to all employees’ children until high
school and, in certain cases, we reimburse the cost of school textbooks for employees in continued education).
In compliance with the anti-COVID regulations, more than 1,850 Ferrari children aged 0 to 10 were able to enjoy
the collection of a Christmas gift dedicated to every age group.
We offer additional benefits to our employees in five different areas - food, free time, wellness, travel and personal
services - including personalized loans at competitive rates within the internal branch of a local bank, special rates for
housing needs and discounts at the Ferrari Museums, Ferrari Stores and at the Ferrari Company Outlet, as well as a service
that gives the opportunity to Ferrari employees to delegate their own bureaucratic practices.
Regarding sustainable mobility, we offered our employees the possibility of long-term rental of electric cars and
bicycles. In addition, Ferrari has launched a new project in collaboration with local authorities to encourage the use of
bicycles to reach the workplace.
To foster the sense of belonging, the Company usually organizes multiple events, most of which were paused in
2021 as in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, in 2021 we hosted, at
the Mugello Circuit, the Ferrari Challenge championship World Finals, an event attended by a large number of our employees
together with their guests, adopting the highest COVID-19 precautionary measures.
155
Over the last years, several culture and sport associations have been created: employees and former employees that
share a common interest have the opportunity to cultivate their passions and organize sport and recreational activities
together.
All these benefits are provided to all of our employees.
Training and talent development
Along with the need to hire, develop and retain talents, we are aware that we must manage human capital as a critical
resource to achieve the best possible results.
The success, prestige and appeal of our brand depends on the ability to attract talents and retain them. In particular,
top drivers, racing management, engineering talent and all the employees that make Ferrari unique have to be rewarded based
on their ability, determination, and expectations. This is why we offer career progression opportunities tailored to each
individual’s strengths, ambitions and our Company’s requirements, underpinned by substantial investments in training. A
total of over 70,100 hours (up 11% vs. 2020) of training have been provided to the Company’s employees in 2021. This
result was achieved mostly thanks to the high-quality volunteering training we provide to our employees, through internally
developed activities, among which the two MBA programs and the technical training projects such as “La Scuola dei
Mestieri” and the training course dedicated to all members of the purchasing department. What makes Ferrari’s craftsmanship
unique is the direct transfer of knowledge and expertise from senior to junior workers, which in our manufacturing process
takes place directly on the job because we believe in constantly maintaining excellence through “learning by doing”.
Human capital development ensures that our Company has the appropriate skill set to execute the business strategy
and improve employee attraction, retention, as well as motivation, and, as a result, enhance productivity and the quest for
innovation. Training requests for employees who receive a regular performance and career development review, are
identified during this review process in order to address the needs of both parties.
A Training Plan with three specific objectives is in place:
To protect and pass on the strategic and specific know-how of Ferrari
Among all the training initiatives in Ferrari, we are very proud of our “Scuola dei mestieri”, started in 2009.
It is a unique, in-house, technical training project for both white collars and workers, which increases the
professionalism of junior talents and motivates senior employees, recognizing their competencies by asking
them to become Maestri and to pass on Ferrari’s unique heritage to the next generation. The initiative
combines different didactic methodologies, including on the job sessions and in-classroom training, both
focused on the consolidation of competencies and skills, with a particular focus on innovation. Being a
Maestro is an aspirational position and key to the Company’s success.
In 2021, we further consolidated the activities of the previous years, with the three main areas of focus
being: product innovation (mainly with regard to hybridization, HMI and new components, in a cross-
functional training), process innovation (as in the case of low bake painting and additive manufacturing) as
well as support and induction of new colleagues. Moreover a new course on the new V6 engine was added.
As in the previous year, also in 2021, to ensure effective training opportunities to employees during the
COVID-19 pandemic, all the courses have been implemented through e-learning platforms and webinars. A
dedicated virtual library containing all the courses was created while a number of tablets were distributed
among participants to guarantee accessibility. Such an effort guaranteed all the 2021 scheduled course.
Furthermore, within “Scuola dei mestieri” we have implemented an activity called “Scuola delle
professioni”, dedicated to young engineers and all employees of the Purchasing department, in order to
provide them with an overview of all the phases of product development and to pass on the Ferrari DNA. In
2021, a new class provided participants with "technical" visits to all production departments to show the
unique manufacturing process in Ferrari.
To shape and prepare the future managerial class for the business, innovation, management and human capital
development challenges.
156
In 2021, despite the permanence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the activities concerning the Ferrari
Corporate Executive MBA were confirmed. The objective of the master’s program is to improve the
management skills of the attendees, to let them gain experience on the most recent innovation trends and to
convey the Ferrari leadership model. This master’s degree offers a unique tailor-made program to form a
critical mass within the management class that will be able to grasp the challenges of the future, while at
the same time preserving the tradition of Ferrari. During the course of study, innovation talks, leadership
scrums and site visits to production plants are carried out. This master’s degree will help to develop a group
of managers with a shared approach to leadership, while respecting and valuing individual differences. A
group on which Ferrari can rely on to tackle future challenges. In 2021, in addition to the third edition of
this master’s degree, a new program was launched for employees aged between 27 and 35. The Ferrari
Global Corporate MBA, in addition to providing participants with managerial skills, pays special attention
to the three main disruptive trends of our time: technological innovation, digital transformation and
sustainable transition.
In 2021, we completed the second edition of the managerial growth program called “Fly the Flag”, that
involved all managers of Direzione Tecnica with individual and group activities. The objective of this
program is to strengthen the peculiar characteristics of a manager: assuming responsibility, increasing
accountability and enhancing teamwork. Cross-functional groups worked on integration objectives, with
many proposals emerging at the end of the course on how to improve working activities. Moreover, we
implemented training courses for Scuderia Ferrari managers to address their specific needs, covering
Ferrari’s leadership model and other topics.
To foster and support the inclusion, growth and development of our people.
In line with business and Company requirements, and consistent with the needs expressed in the
Performance & Leadership Management system, training activities were provided with respect to
managerial, technical and language skills.
Launched in 2019, we continue to offer our employees the possibility to access the Harvard Manage
Mentor e-learning platform. The training provided through this platform has been customized according to
our needs and the following three lines of development: to integrate this platform with the Performance and
Leadership Management system; to give employees, especially newcomers, the basic managerial skills that
we consider essential requirements; and to adapt professional development paths based on employees’
career levels. Soft skills and language courses are included in this platform, as well as several training
activities on diversity topics sustaining our Equal Salary Certification.
In addition, an online training campaign is launched twice a year and includes all the corporate mandatory
trainings dedicated to new employees. These kind of campaigns are repeated periodically to provide a
training update to all employees. Among the mandatory courses, a session is dedicated to our Code of
Conduct that covers also anticorruption and human rights topics. In 2021, a mandatory online campaign
was launched on Anticorruption, Conflicts of interest, Whistleblowing and Italian Legislative Decree
231/2001, regarding the principle of corporate administrative responsibility for certain types of crimes
committed by qualified representatives of the Company in the interest or to the advantage of the Company
itself. In 2021, the training course dedicated to all members of the purchasing department, realized in
partnership with the European Institute of Purchasing Management, was concluded and the participants
were provided with a certification of completion.
In 2021, we made additional progress regarding the activities started the previous years to ensure know-how
continuity and we promoted the strengthening of employee skills to meet our ambitions for the future. Collaboration,
innovation, focus and learning, together with agility at all levels, represent some of the key values we pursue to thrive in a
rapidly changing world.
All these training activities, delivered both in presence and online, resulted in an increase in the overall number of
training hours provided compared to the previous year.

Talent Recruitment and Employee Retention
The excellence that our products and our brand embody is what attracts and retains the best talents worldwide.
At Ferrari, recruitment and selection is about sourcing the right qualities and skills that will represent the backbone
of our future success. Our recruitment process provides a platform to engage with future employees, to assess competencies
through a structured selection process and to prepare for post-recruitment integration and development.
The mission of the recruitment team is to identify, evaluate and bring onboard the individuals which are aligned with
our requirements and values. We received in excess of 46,000 applications during 2021, including specific as well as
spontaneous applications from around the world for engineering, technical, marketing and financial positions.
We also undertake partnership programs with top universities around the world to engage with students, professors,
career offices and a network of professionals in order to identify talents for the future. In 2021, we organized 53 events,
attended by almost 4,500 students. We offer Company insight presentations, testimonials by Ferrari staff, selected case
studies at university campus and, for partner universities such as the Motorvehicle University of Emilia-Romagna (MUNER),
we also offer the selected opportunity to visit the Ferrari facilities. These activities allow us to transmit the key values of the
Company, and therefore to engage directly, or indirectly through communications and social media, nourishing our
recruitment pipeline. Our program includes different graduate projects: "Ferrari GT Academy" is dedicated to the recruitment
of engineering, production and commercial personnel, with the aim of attracting, evaluating and hiring future talents and
establishing and consolidating partnerships with leading engineering universities and companies. Within this project, for the
third edition we also included our Brand Diversification team with the goal to attract the best fashion and luxury management
and master’s graduates. “Ferrari F1 Engineering Academy”, active since 2015, is dedicated to the recruitment of talented
engineers to be introduced to our F1 team. We regularly perform dedicated communication activities at universities,
integrating on-line testing as well as dedicated assessment centers managed in Maranello to ensure that the most suitable
applicants have the opportunity to join the Ferrari team. We have now reached the 7th edition of this program; retention rates
continue to be high. Moreover in 2021, we took part to an onboarding program together with three companies, also members
of MUNER, to share knowledge with students around: vehicle setup, electronics and homologations.
To ease employees into their new jobs, Ferrari provides a two-day induction program. The first day is dedicated to
introducing the Company culture and mission, as well as guiding new employees through the corporate offices and
production plants. The following day is focused on health and safety training.
To promote a responsible behavior during the assembling phase of cars and engines, we launched many years ago
the “Pit Stop” and “Fiorano Race” initiatives, where colleagues on the same shift are assigned to “teams”, with key
performance indicators in place for the improvement of quality, efficiency and environmental sustainability. The teams are
then ranked based on the data, with the best performers being rewarded. Furthermore, we organize the “Pole Position Evo”
program to evaluate individual performances.
We reward our employees, excluding senior management, through a productivity bonus called “Premio di
Competitività”, based on yearly shipments and adj. EBITDA results, as well as a product quality index adjusted for individual
absenteeism rates. In 2021, each employee received around Euro 5,500 on top of the additional Euro 2,100, as provided for in
a specific agreement signed with the trade unions.
All employees, excluding workers, receive a regular performance review based on performance and leadership
behaviors, which ends with a final evaluation from their assessors at the end of the year. Workers undergo a different review,
which is based on regular assessments, aimed at developing their career path.
In 2021, more than 2,200 employees received a performance evaluation through our specific online tool, covering
almost 100% of white collars and managers. This online tool allows us to track and share with employees and management
the results of the assessment, including strengths and improvement areas as well as their professional aspirations and the final
evaluation. Starting from 2021, the training on our Performance Management process was transformed in online training
158
video courses that are always available to all of our employees, besides delivering in-person training. On the side, Ferrari
organizes assessment classes with external psychologists and HR experts with the aim of evaluating employee potential. Due
to COVID 19 restrictions, these assessments of potential were carried out in an online format for white-collar employees,
while individual development interviews were organized for workers. In addition, for the first time in 2021, we started for our
Managers and Senior Managers the leadership development project, an individual assessment of leadership behaviors aimed
at continuous improvement and professional development, which also includes a 360 degree feedback. The results of these
assessments are a fundamental asset for succession plans in key positions, identifying career development opportunities and
defining consistent retention actions.

Thanks to our career development program, Ferrari encourages the professional growth of its employees and tries to
fill key positions with talented internal candidates before tapping into the external market. The results of the analysis carried
out on our key positions covered by our employees are used to develop specific succession plans, with a timeframe of 2-4
years, to ensure the competitiveness of Ferrari over time and to take advantage of our employees’ talents.
In 2021, Ferrari S.p.A. and Ferrari North America Inc. confirmed the Equal Salary Certificate for providing equal
pay to men and women with the same qualifications and positions in the Company. This accreditation attested the Company’s
commitment to creating an inclusive and diverse working environment while fostering career development for everybody. In
2020, Ferrari was the first Italian Company to receive this specific certification. The certification process included a detailed
statistical analysis of compensation levels, which revealed that the Prancing Horse is one of Europe’s companies having
successfully eliminated the gender pay gap. Ferrari sees this certification not as an end point but as a further stage of growth
and an opportunity to implement tangible actions to ensure that everyone can pursue their professional growth.
In 2021, Ferrari took advantage of all the training courses offered by Valore D, the association with over 240
member companies in Italy, whose commitment is to promote gender balance and an inclusive culture in organizations and
across the country: 32 Ferrari women employees were selected to get access to discussions on diversity, inclusive leadership,
language and soft skills. Moreover, on Ferrari intranet all employees can access several “open talks” on these topics.
For the third year in a row, our effort to guarantee employee attraction and retention was also recognized by the Top
Employers Institute in 2022.
Occupational Health and Safety
We are particularly focused on the safety of our people and we are dedicated to the prevention of accidents at work9.
Our hazard identification, risk assessment and incident investigation processes are developed in accordance with the highest
international and national voluntary standards and normative requirements on health and safety. In addition to formal
meetings being held with employee representatives, periodic meetings are also held with management to review safety issues.
Periodic internal health and safety audits are performed to ensure compliance with our health and safety management system,
current laws and best practices. Ferrari S.p.A. and Mugello Circuit S.p.A. health and safety management systems are certified
ISO 45001:201810, a voluntary international standard, which specifies the requirements of an occupational health and safety
management system with reference to the activities performed within the premises of the organization by its employees or
external workers.

We continue to make significant investments in safety at work: improvements in the existing structures and specific
training have allowed us to achieve significant results. Mandatory health and safety training is provided to all new hires
during the second day of the induction program, while periodic sessions are developed for all employees. We provide
employees who test our cars with specific on-track driving training to make sure they have all the skills required to perform
emergency maneuvers, if necessary. As shown in the table above, in 2021, the number of training hours increased and
returned in line with pre COVID-19 pandemic level. In addition, a constantly updated dynamic health protocol is in place and
a specific health and safety section is part of the training program of the “Department Team Leaders”.
Particularly effective has been the program to highlight the so-called “near misses”: events that could have caused
injuries but did not. Moreover, most of the buildings are provided with a defibrillator along with the standard health and
safety equipment.
The table below shows a substantially stable  trend in the lost time injuries rate over the last three years. In 2021, the
injury rate was 1.2, with 9 occurrences (6 in 2020) and no fatalities occurring.  The types of work-related injuries include
bruises and one case of a collision with a vehicle, occurred during an exhibition of the single-seaters at the Motor Valley Fest
in Modena, that resulted in high-consequence injury. Each work-related injury is analyzed to determine the cause and
appropriate measures to avoid recurrence are then implemented.

During the course of 2021, three injuries have been recorded for agency workers, two resulting in more than 3 days
of absence and one resulting in less than 3 days of absence.
During the last year, no cases of diseases arising from a work situation or activity, or from a work-related injury
have been recorded. Due to the nature of the activity conducted in Ferrari plants, workers are not considered exposed to high
risks relating to specific diseases. Every employee undergoes a regular work-related medical examination, as prescribed by
law.
Health and safety contents are covered by the CCSL (Contratto Collettivo Specifico di Lavoro), signed on March 11,
2019, and also by the Accordo Premio di Competitività Ferrari, signed on September 25, 2019, providing a specific health
and safety Commission involving, on a monthly basis, both the Company and the workers' representatives for health and
safety. CCSL and Accordo Premio di Competitività Ferrari cover 100% of Ferrari employees in Italy.
Our employees in numbers
As of December 31, 2021, Group17 employees were 4,609, an increase of 1.2% compared to December 31, 2020

Reducing environmental footprint
Our environmental responsibility
We assemble all of our cars and manufacture all the engines used in our cars or sold to Maserati at our production
facility in Maranello19 (Italy). The Carrozzeria Scaglietti plant, located in Modena (Italy), is where we manufacture aluminum
bodyworks and chassis. The two plants cover a cumulative area of approximately 850,000 m2. We also own the Mugello
racing circuit in Scarperia, near Florence (Italy), which covers an area of 1,700,000 m2 (of which approximately 1,200,000 m2
of green or tree-covered areas).
We directly operate 16 retail stores and maintain offices for our foreign subsidiaries and other smaller facilities in
Italy, such as the Museo Enzo Ferrari (MEF) in Modena and the Ferrari Museum in Maranello. The environmental impact of
these additional facilities is deemed negligible and is excluded in this chapter’s data.
The monitoring and management of the environmental performance of our productive plants is assigned to a team
that reports to our Chief Technologies & Infrastructures Officer. Their effort is aimed at minimizing the impact of our
activities on the environment, particularly in relation to the energy consumption of the production facilities. A different team
is in charge of overseeing regulatory developments while monitoring the emissions of Ferrari cars reporting to our Chief
Research & Development Officer.
In 2021, we calculated our 2019 and 2020 carbon footprint considering the GHG emissions related to all the Group
activities over our entire value chain, including both direct and indirect GHG emissions. Our carbon footprint calculation,
based on GHG protocol methodology, has been verified by a certification entity according to ISO 14064-1:2018
requirements. This analysis enhanced our awareness on our overall environmental impact, allowing us to determine priority
areas for action. Our 2019 base year carbon footprint is approximately 600 ktons CO2eq. Direct GHG emissions account for
14% of the total, while indirect upstream GHG emissions accounts for 54%, the majority referring to “Purchased goods and
services” category and indirect downstream for 32% of the total, mainly due to “Use of sold products” category.
163
18 The absenteeism rate is calculated as a ratio of hours lost for sickness divided the number of hours to be worked. The perimeter considered relates only to
Ferrari N.V., Ferrari S.p.A. and Mugello Circuit S.p.A. employees.
19 Maranello production facility is composed of the main offices and production buildings, the “Nuova Gestione Sportiva” building and the adjacent
Fiorano track (of approximately 3,000 meters).
We are committing to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 on our entire value chain, addressing direct and indirect
GHG emissions, focusing on energy and materials, in addition to our electrification journey .
Plants and circuits
Environmental management systems
We have invested heavily to minimize our environmental impact since 2001, when the Company reached the ISO
14001:2015 certification for our plants in Maranello and Modena. In 2019, we obtained the renewal of the certification of our
environmental management system according to the new standard ISO 14001:2015. In addition, in 2007, we obtained and
renewed the Integrated Environmental Authorization. As mentioned in our Environmental Policy, our effort is to minimize
the negative impact of our activities on natural resources and the global environment.
In addition, Ferrari S.p.A. has obtained the three stars of the FIA Environmental Accreditation Program. The
program development by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile aims at helping key players in the motorsport and
automotive sector measure and enhance their environmental performance by means of an independent certification process.
To further reflect our sustainability commitment, in 2021 we obtained the ISO 20121 certification, the international
standard for sustainable event management, for the Ferrari Challenge Europe, becoming the first European one-make
championship for combustion-powered cars to receive this certification. The standard applies to the planning and realization
of the 2021 Championship.  In the same year, the ISO 20121 certification was obtained also by Passione Ferrari, for SPA-
Francorchamps event. Passione Ferrari is the official program of track events for Ferrari owners and sports car lovers, hosted
by the Ferrari European Challenge series.
During 2021, we also obtained the ISO 20121 certification for Ferrari Factory Tour, a unique experience for
customers, prospects and guests of sponsors, where ad-hoc guided tours are organized to the "Cittadella Ferrari" and the
iconic places of the "Cavallino Rampante".
The Mugello Circuit S.p.A. obtained and renewed the certification for the environmental management system with
ISO 14001:2015 and EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme). Moreover, in 2020, Mugello Circuit S.p.A. obtained the
ISO 20121 certification, confirmed also in 2021. Mugello Circuit has been the first circuit in the world to obtain this
certification. This standard applies to the activities related to the events hosted and is evidence of the commitment of Mugello
Circuit to implement a responsible and sustainable management system.
Efficient energy use
Our culture embraces a rational use of energy, which is mainly utilized for the manufacturing of cars and engines.
Over the years, the Group has strived to lower its energy consumption and to minimize its environmental impact, adopting
innovative solutions and using renewable energy sources for its manufacturing facilities. In 2008, we installed our first solar
164
panels and subsequently increased capacity in 2011 and 2015. Since 2014, Ferrari has been purchasing electricity with
Guarantee of Origin certificates.
In addition, from 2009, we started using electricity along with hot and cold water generated by the trigeneration
plant20, allowing us to optimize our energy needs. In 2021, the trigeneration plant produced 78% of the electricity needed for
the Maranello plant, while the renewable sources21 cover the remaining 22%.

The total energy consumption within the Group for 2021 was 1,774 TJ, with an increase of 9.6% from 2020 (1,619
TJ). In 2021 we returned to pre COVID-19 level.
We are constantly implementing actions such as the replacement of traditional illumination systems to LED
technology and the use of high efficiency engine with inverter technology in pumps for the industrial water distribution
system. As of today, all our new buildings in Maranello are Class A-ranked and the Formula 1 team headquarters comply
with the net zero energy building protocol (NetZeb), meaning that the total amount of energy used by the building is
approximately equal to the amount of renewable energy it generates. In 2021, we completed  the new building related to new
GT sport activities, the new building for Formula 1 simulator and the renovation  of the offices of Marketing and Commercial
Direction, all of them built with high standard of energy efficiency.
Air emissions
The emissions of CO2eq deriving from the Maranello and Modena plants and from the Mugello racing circuit
(Scope 1 and Scope 2 market-based) are equal to 95,514 tCO2eq in 2021, compared to 88,380 tCO2eq in 2020, 94,615
tCO2eq in 2019, 91,773 tCO2eq in 2018, 92,609 tCO2eq in 2017 and 93,086 tCO2eq in 2016.

In 2021, our Scope 1 GHG emissions increased by 8% compared to 2020. In 2021 we managed to reduce to zero our
Scope 2 market based GHG emissions, thanks to the purchase of renewable energy by Ferrari S.p.A. and Mugello Circuit
S.p.A.. If we had not purchased Guarantee of Origin certificates these emissions would have been higher by 18,102 tons
CO2eq.
Other significant air emissions are mainly related to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released during vehicle
manufacturing. In addition, NOX, SOX and dust emissions are constantly monitored.

Waste management
We acknowledge that rational use of raw materials, together with careful waste management, helps reduce the
environmental impact of the manufacturing process. In addition, innovative solutions and advanced technical processes
minimize waste and negative environmental impact. The reuse of production scraps in our manufacturing process also has the
objective of reducing waste.
To achieve this target, a series of initiatives in the different phases of the manufacturing process have been
implemented. As an example, aluminum scraps are melted in the foundry to avoid waste, this is particularly important
considering that aluminum is the first raw material (by weight) used in our manufacturing process. Other projects aimed at
reducing waste are undergoing a feasibility analysis. In particular, according to the concept of the circular economy, in some
cases our production scraps can be used for our manufacturing processes (e.g. processed sand used in the foundry, aluminum
that cannot be smelted).
Total waste for27 2021 was equal to 9,992 tons, with an increase of 2% compared to 2020 (9,785 tons), entirely
treated offsite, increasing at a lesser pace than our production growth, also thanks to new washing water treatment that
allowed us to avoid the generation of more than 600 tons of waste.

24 Direct greenhouse gas emissions, measured in tons of CO2 equivalent, were calculated using emission factors indicated in “Emission Factors from
Cross-Sector Tools; March 2017” and “Global Warming Potential Values Guidance; May 2015”, published by The Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Gases
included in the calculation of the Scope 1 GHG emissions: CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs and other refrigerant gases.
25 Market-based indirect greenhouse gas emissions, measured in tons of CO2, were calculated using the Residual Mix emission factors indicated in “2020
European Residual Mixes, V.1.0”, published by AIB. The Group purchases Guarantee of Origin (GO) certificates in order to reduce the impact of CO2
emissions in the atmosphere.
26 Location-based indirect greenhouse gas emissions, measured in tons of CO2, were calculated using the emission factor indicated in “Confronti
internazionali; 2019”, published by Terna.
27 2021 and 2020 data includes waste generated by Ferrari S.p.A. in the plants of Maranello and Modena and warehouses and Mugello Circuit S.p.A..

Logistics
We produce all of our vehicles and spare parts in our Maranello and Modena plants, however, our network of third-
party dealers comprises 191 point of sales around the world. A meticulous work is constantly carried out to optimize
logistical operations with the aim of reducing the environmental impact and associated air emissions.
Water management
We are well aware of the importance of a responsible management of water and, even if our plants are not located in
areas exposed to high or extremely high overall water risks, nor our production process can be considered water intensive, we
have developed a series of initiatives to reduce water consumption in our manufacturing processes. This commitment was
reinforced by introducing the adiabatic cooling system in our New Technical Center, a new technology which allows us to
save more water compared to traditional methods. Moreover, we collect and reuse rainwater and condensation for sanitary
facilities.
All the water sourced comes from municipal water supplies and wells: as of today, no water bodies are directly
affected by the withdrawal of water.

Biodiversity and noise pollution
Our plants and racing circuits, as of December 2021, are not located in any protected or highly biodiverse areas and,
to our best knowledge, they do not have a significant environmental impact on such areas. Moreover, our plants and racing
circuits are not adjacent to any protected or highly biodiverse areas. This analysis is conducted annually and is based on the
World Database on Protected Areas.
However, the Mugello racing circuit is located in an extremely important natural landscaping area. Therefore, the
main tribune has been constructed using eco-active materials with zero impact on the surrounding zone to help reduce both
pollutants and bacteria.
With regard to the noise produced in proximity of the Fiorano and Mugello circuits, the acoustic monitoring of the
plant perimeter is regularly carried out and the Mugello Circuit complies with the authorization received by the appropriate
authorities.
Vehicle environmental impact
Part of the environmental impact of our activities is related to our product lifecycle, including both downstream and
upstream GHG emissions. Ferrari cars are perceived as collectibles and therefore the number of cars demolished each year is
very scarce. In addition, our cars are generally not considered means of transportation.
Vehicle emissions
We are subject to a variety of laws and regulations that, among others, are related to car emissions and fuel
consumption. Ferrari vehicles must comply with extensive regional, national and local laws and regulations, as well as
industry self-regulations (including those that regulate vehicle safety). However, we currently benefit from certain regulatory
exemptions because we qualify as a Small Volume Manufacturer or similar designation in most of the jurisdictions where we
sell our cars (for more details refer to the “Regulatory Matters” paragraph of 2021 Annual Report).

29 2021 data refers to Mugello racing circuit.
30 2020 data refers to Mugello racing circuit.
31 Total water withdrawal refers to freshwater (≤1,000 mg/L Total Dissolved Solids).
We continue focusing on researching technologies that further reduce emissions in the use phase, such as hybrid and
electric engines. We started working with hybrid technology back in 2011, when we introduced the HY-KERS (Kinetic
Energy Recovery System) technology in our F1 cars, which was transferred in 2013 to LaFerrari, our first road car to use
hybrid technology. Further enhancing the hybrid technology, in 2014, we introduced hybrid power units in our F1 cars and, in
2019, we launched the SF90 Stradale, our first hybrid series-production car.
Through innovations in areas such as turbochargers, engine downsizing, transmission, electric steering and hybrid
technology we constantly reduced our emissions on our entire fleet. Consistent with our mission to develop cutting edge
sports and GT cars, product development efforts continually focus on improving core components such as the powertrain, car
dynamics and the use of materials such as special aluminum alloys and carbon fiber. The expertise acquired in these fields
has recently enhanced our efforts to combine improved performance with reductions in CO2 emissions.
We have undertaken an important program to develop hybrid and electric technology. One of the more relevant
topics of this generation, the concept of the car in an era of climate change, will likely be an opportunity for us. Innovation
runs within Ferrari, so the challenge of building a Ferrari for a low-emissions future is one that we are already embracing. To
this effect, we have already started our journey towards carbon neutrality by 2030, addressing direct and indirect GHG
emissions, focusing on energy and materials, in addition to our electrification journey. The SF90 Stradale, our first hybrid
series-production car in Ferrari history, launched in 2019, the SF90 Spider, launched in 2020, and the 296 GTB launched in
2021, perfectly reflect our commitment to this approach. The increased offering of hybrid powertrains will allow us to meet
both specific regulatory requirements but also to satisfy customers’ desires for significantly improved emissions, while
enhancing the driving emotions that render Ferrari cars simply unique.
In 2020, we achieved a 35% reduction in CO2 emissions (compared to 2007) for our European fleet through
improvements in the car’s energy efficiency.
AVERAGE SPECIFIC NEDC BASED CO2 EMISSIONS 2007-2020 (FERRARI EU FLEET32)
In 2021 we saw an important decrease of 9% versus prior year in our EU fleet average CO2 emissions also thanks to
the SF90 family. For the purpose of the graph below, 100% of the Ferrari fleet in EU has been taken into account to
determine the average specific WLTP based emissions of CO2, despite the phase-in criteria granted in 2020, while the
previous graph considered average specific NEDC based emissions of CO2. As part of the implementation of Regulation (EC)

Raw Materials
Car makers consume large amounts of raw materials and a conscientious planning of the manufacturing process is
essential to the management of scarce resources.
Among the most used materials in our cars are light alloys, such as aluminum: to reduce the sourcing of aluminum
specific initiatives to reuse scraps have been developed (see “Our Environmental Responsibility - Waste management”).
We measure and monitor the presence of hazardous substances in our homologated vehicles, as required by local
regulations. Every Ferrari homologated vehicle, therefore, every component installed, follows the REACH prescriptions.
Every Ferrari vehicle is compliant to 2000/53/EC (End-of-life Directive), as applicable.
Our suppliers are requested to comply with 2011/65/UE (RoHS Directive) and 2000/53/EC (End-of-life Directive),
and to provide, through the International Material Data System, all the information related to the composition of substances
used in the manufacturing process. Our internal systems automatically reject non-compliant components.
Vehicle’s end of life
We are not directly involved in product take back programs due to the nature of our business: the number of Ferrari
cars demolished each year is very scarce as Ferrari cars are perceived as collectibles, which the Group also supports through
its "Ferrari Classiche" services and the active preowned market.

Further Climate-related Disclosures (TCFD)
Ferrari is conscious of the risks and opportunities related to climate change, as one of the more relevant defining
factors for long-term value creation. The following section aims at providing a transparent disclosure on climate change-
related matters, in accordance with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures
(“TCFD”). The following paragraphs summarize how Ferrari is tackling climate-change risks and opportunities in the areas
of Governance, Strategy, Risk, Management as well as Metrics and Targets. For further details, please see the TCFD
correspondence table at the end of this section. We are committed to progressively develop our environmental governance,
strategy, metrics and goals, in line with best practices and TCFD guidelines.
GOVERNANCE:
The Board of Directors as a whole is responsible for the overall strategy of the Company, including in relation to
sustainability and climate change topics.
On these matters, within the Board of Directors, the ESG Committee, is responsible for, among other things,
assisting and advising the Board of Directors, and acting under authority delegated by the Board of Directors, with respect to:
monitoring, evaluation and reporting on the strategy, targets, achievements, disclosures and reports relating to ESG matters
globally of the Company and its subsidiaries. The FLT is responsible for reviewing the operating performance of the
businesses, collaborating on certain operational matters, supporting the Chief Executive Officer with his tasks and executing
the decisions of the Board of Directors and the day-to-day management of the Company, primarily as it relates to operational
management. The FLT is led by the Chief Executive Officer and composed of the heads of the operating segments and
certain central functions. Starting from 2022, at management level we have defined new cross- functional committees, among
which one is responsible for the strategic positioning of the Ferrari Brand and cross-functional projects to sustain excellence
in every area, starting from our priority to reach sustainability journey towards carbon neutrality by 2030, addressing direct
and indirect GHG emissions, focusing on energy and materials, in addition to our electrification journey.
Our Chief Financial Officer, a member of the FLT, is responsible for the Sustainability function that is involved in
coordinating the activities within the Group with regard to sustainability, promoting the discussion between different teams
and functions, and aiming at identifying risks and opportunities regarding sustainability and climate change. The monitoring
and management of the environmental performance of our productive plants is assigned to a team that reports to our Chief
Technologies & Infrastructures Officer. Their effort is aimed at minimizing the impact of our activities on the environment,
particularly in relation to the energy consumption of the production facilities. A different team is in charge of overseeing
regulatory developments while monitoring the emissions of Ferrari cars reporting to our Chief Research & Development
Officer.
STRATEGY:
Ferrari is aware of the challenges and opportunities posed by climate change for sustainable business development.
Recently, Ferrari made significant and substantial strides on its journey to sustainability. This progress was driven by a
sustainability strategy designed around five pillars. One of the pillars of our sustainability strategy is “Reducing
environmental footprint: increase our environmental awareness to continuously set and implement related programs and
actions”. In particular, we are committing to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 on our entire value chain.  Our business
strategy is also influenced by climate change-related commitments and developments at the international, regional and
national level, such as the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In particular, we take into
consideration GHG-related normative requirements, as in many parts of the world, significant governmental regulation is
driven by environmental, fuel economy and GHG emissions concerns. In this context, our most significant environmental
efforts are deployed through a program for the reduction of polluting and GHG emissions, both direct and indirect. In
particular, we are currently working on developing hybrid powertrains and other innovations also to meet specific regulatory
requirements and preparing for a low-emission future, thanks to our DNA based on innovation. Climate change is a key
megatrend for Ferrari. In the coming years, we are planning to carry out the scenario analysis as well as setting targets
accordingly.
RISK MANAGEMENT:
Our risk management approach is an important business driver and it is integral to the achievement of the Group’s
long-term business plan. We take an integrated approach to risk management, where risk and opportunity assessment are at
171
the core of the leadership team agenda. Ferrari has adopted the last publication of the COSO Framework as the foundation of
its enterprise risk management (ERM) which also integrates the analysis and assessment of socio-environmental risks,
including climate related risks, in our risk management framework.
In order to ensure the adequateness of its internal risk management and control systems, Ferrari has structured its
risk management process and internal control systems based on the “Three Level of Controls Model”. The Board of Directors
is responsible for considering the ability to control and manage risks crucial to achieving its identified business targets, and
for the continuity of the Group.
The FLT is responsible for identifying, prioritizing and mitigating risks and for the establishment and maintenance
of a risk management system across our business functions. Our risk management framework is discussed with the Group’s
Audit Committee at least on an annual basis.
Our CFO, who directly reports to the CEO, is responsible for the risk management function that is involved, among
the other risks, in the assessment, monitoring and management of climate related risks. Operating areas represent the first line
of defense, they identify and assess climate-related risks and in collaboration with the central function of risk management
those risks are assessed, monitored and managed at corporate level. In particular, this year we have further implemented the
reporting of our climate-related risk & opportunities, included in the paragraph “Sustainability Risks” of this document.
As relevant factors for long-term value creation, Ferrari considers pivotal to manage risks related to climate change.
The fight against climate change and the preservation of the environment are becoming crucial around the world and these
concerns have resulted in rapidly evolving climate and environmental regulations emitted across international markets.
METRICS AND TARGETS:
We are committing to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 on our entire value chain looking at both direct and indirect
GHG emissions. All our functions are involved in reaching this strategic objective and we have started identifying actions to
reduce our carbon footprint, with a focus on energy consumption and materials, in addition to our electrification journey.
In 2021, we calculated our carbon footprint considering the GHG emissions related to all the Group activities over
our entire value chain, including both direct and indirect GHG emissions. Our carbon footprint calculation, based on GHG
protocol methodology, has been certified according ISO 14064-1:2018 requirements. This analysis enhanced our awareness
on our overall environmental impact, allowing us to determine priority areas for action. Our base year carbon footprint is
approximately 600 ktons CO2eq. Direct GHG emissions account for 14% of the total, while indirect upstream GHG
emissions accounts for 54%, the majority referring to “Purchased goods and services” category and indirect downstream for
32% of the total, mainly due to “Use of sold products” category.
In this Statement we disclose our impacts and performance according to the requirements of the GRI Standards,
GHG protocol and SASB. Moreover, we report two indicators to monitor our economic growth and its climate impact: the
Carbon on net revenues ratio and the Carbon on Adj. EBITDA ratio. These two indicators show that Ferrari managed to
decouple its economic growth from its environmental impact. In other words, we keep on growing our business activities
while at the same time maintaining almost stable our CO2 emissions.

EU Taxonomy
The Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (hereinafter the “Regulation”) introduced the EU Taxonomy, a classification system
that translates the EU’s climate and environmental objectives into criteria related to specific economic activities for
investment purposes. Starting from the 2021 financial year, we disclose to what extent our activities and operations are
considered in line with the criteria defined by the Regulation and related documentation, with particular reference to the
available technical annexes regarding two out of six environmental objectives (Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation)
set out in article 9 of the same Regulation. Accordingly, Ferrari has been developing specific analysis to respond to such new
disclosure requirements. A study was performed in accordance with the following methodological steps, briefly described
below:
1.General understanding of the requirements established by the Regulation and analysis of the list of economic
activities of Ferrari eligible34 for the EU Taxonomy.
We thoroughly analyzed the requirements established by the Regulation and related documentation.
We identified the economic activity 3.3 “Manufacture of low carbon technologies for transport” as the one
that correlates the most with Ferrari’s core activities and operations. Further linkages can be found with the
economic activity 6.5 “Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles”, with
particular reference to our financial services activities. Such a process was conducted by analyzing both
formal Ferrari-related NACE codes as well as its substantial business activities and operations in
comparison to the list provided by the EU Taxonomy. Further residual Ferrari activities and operations are
currently considered not pertinent to other Taxonomy-related economic activities and/or not significant for
the purpose of this disclosure.
2.Analysis of 2021 Ferrari Turnover, CapEx and OpEx, in line with the previously mentioned points and
calculation of EU Taxonomy-related KPIs.
We analyzed our turnover, capital and operating expenditure for the calculation of the KPIs requested
pursuant to the Regulation and related documentation, according to our current interpretation of the
applicable requirements35:
Turnover36 KPI:
a.Regarding the denominator, we based it on our consolidated net turnover in accordance with IAS
1.82(a). For further details on our accounting policies regarding our consolidated net turnover
please refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report.
b.Regarding the numerator, we analyzed our potential turnover derived from products or services in
line with the previous mentioned assumptions:
a.we considered as “eligible”: the revenues related to the shipments of our cars and to
financial services activities.
b.we considered as “not eligible”: the revenues generated from the sales of spare parts as
well as of engines to Maserati for the use in their cars and from the rental of engines to
other Formula 1 racing teams; the revenues earned by our Formula 1 racing team through
sponsorship agreements and our share of the Formula 1 World Championship commercial
revenues; the net revenues generated through the Ferrari brand, including merchandising,
licensing and royalty income; any other  revenue, primarily related to the management of
the Mugello racetrack and other sports-related activities.
177
34 Taxonomy-eligible economic activity means an economic activity that is described in the delegated acts supplementing the Taxonomy Regulation
irrespective of whether that economic activity meets any or all of the technical screening criteria laid down in those delegated acts.
35 The analysis was made also taking into consideration the “Draft Commission notice on the interpretation of certain legal provisions of the Disclosures
Delegated Act under Article 8 of the EU Taxonomy Regulation on the reporting of eligible economic activities and assets” published on February 2, 2022.
36 The financial data included in these KPIs are a portion of group net revenues included in our 2021 Annual Report: Consolidated Financial Statements,
note 4 and Financial Overview _Results of Operations.
CapEx37 KPI:
c.Regarding the denominator, it consists of additions to tangible and intangible fixed assets during
the financial year, before depreciation, amortization and any re-measurements, including those
resulting from revaluations and impairments, as well as excluding changes in fair value. It includes
acquisitions of tangible fixed assets (IAS 16), intangible fixed assets (IAS 38) and right-of-use
assets (IFRS 16). Additions resulting from business combinations are also included. Goodwill and
Borrowing costs are not included in denominator, as it is not defined as a tangible or intangible
asset in accordance with IAS 16 and IAS 38 . For further details on our accounting policies
regarding our Capex, please refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report.
d.Regarding the numerator, we analyzed our capital expenditures in line with the previous
mentioned assumptions:
a.we considered as “eligible”:
the additions of tangible assets related to our production facilities in Maranello
and Modena, plus our subsidiaries (excluding racetrack management and retail
business) as well as financial services activities;
the additions of intangible assets related to externally acquired and internally
generated development costs for our cars as well as patents, concessions and
licenses and  other intangible assets mainly related to the registration of
trademarks
b.we considered as “not eligible”: the remaining additions of tangible and intangible assets.
OpEx38 KPI:
e.Regarding the denominator, it consists of direct non-capitalized costs that relate to research and
development, building renovation measures, short-term lease, maintenance and repair, and any
other direct expenditures relating to the day-to-day servicing of assets of property, plant and
equipment.
f.Regarding the numerator, we analyzed our direct non-capitalized costs in line with the previous
mentioned assumptions:
a.we considered as “eligible”:
the direct non-capitalized costs that relate to research and development,
mainly including Formula 1 activities and research and development
activities to support the innovation of our product range and
components, in particular, in relation to hybrid and electric technology,
the maintenance expenditures related to the manufacturing of our
vehicles, and our subsidiaries (excluding racetrack management and
retail business) as well as those related to financial services activities;
b.we considered as “not eligible”: the remaining direct non-capitalized costs.
According to the analysis performed, we calculated the share of Ferrari turnover, capital expenditures and
operating expenditures that we currently consider to be taxonomy “eligible” and “not eligible”.

Potential double counting in the allocation in the numerator of Turnover, CapEx and OpEx has been
avoided through the use of the financial information which are at the base of the Consolidated Financial
Statements as of 31 December 2021.
Further analysis will be made over time according to the progressive evolution of the Regulation (EU) 2020/852,
with particular reference to the second delegated act for the remaining objectives, and its concrete interpretation/application
for reporting purposes in accordance with Ferrari’s strategic approach.
In order to truly understand the importance and actions that Ferrari is putting in place to achieve the climate
mitigation objective, it should be noted our unwavering pursuit of reaching carbon neutrality by 2030, addressing both direct
and indirect emissions with a focus on energy and materials. As a further step forward in this process, in 2021 we calculated
our carbon footprint considering the emissions related to all the Group activities over our entire value chain. Our calculation,
based on GHG protocol methodology, has been certified according ISO 14064-1:2018 requirements by a third-party player
and allowed us to determine priority areas for action.
179
Creating and sharing value with the community
Our goal is to create and share long-term value with our stakeholders. On the one side, the economic value generated
and distributed provides an indication on how we created wealth, on the other, there are plenty of intangible resources and
initiatives that contribute to the value creation processes. In this context, community engagement and involvement with the
local territory are of fundamental importance to us, with particular reference to Maranello and Modena, where all our cars are
manufactured. To maintain alive the spirit of Ferrari and the story of its founder Enzo Ferrari, two different museums have
been established, attracting every year thousands of visitors from all over the world to the heart of the Italian “Motor Valley”.
Ferrari & Education
We are aware of our responsibility towards the community and our efforts are directed to support its development,
mainly through collaborations with local universities and schools and thanks to the industry network in the Emilia-Romagna
region. We believe that promoting the education of young talents is an essential step to reinforce the connection with local
communities. Shaping brilliant engineers with a specific academic background that focuses on new technologies within the
automotive industry, and in particular innovative solutions for state-of-the-art performance in luxury cars, is also a
prerequisite for the Group to seize future opportunities.
Ferrari aims to promote education in the local community at high school level by establishing long-term
relationships with technical schools in Maranello, such as the istituti tecnici superiori, and other towns nearby. In 2021,
Ferrari promoted orientation activities towards STEM disciplines for students in a secondary school, by setting up a
technological lab.
Ferrari is partner of the Motorvehicle University of Emilia-Romagna (MUNER), an association which was strongly
advocated by the Emilia-Romagna region. It was created thanks to a synergistic connection between the universities of
Modena and Reggio Emilia, Bologna, Ferrara and Parma along with car companies (Lamborghini, Dallara, Ducati,
HaasF1Team, HPE COXA, Marelli, Maserati, Pagani, Scuderia AlphaTauri) in the region that represent the excellence of
Italian brands, which of course includes Ferrari.
Furthermore, in 2021, Ferrari Group around the world promoted educational and charity activities for their local
communities, in collaboration with different partners.
Ferrari Museum Maranello & Museo Enzo Ferrari (MEF)
The Ferrari Museum Maranello invites visitors to experience the Prancing Horse dream first-hand, offering them a
journey through the Group’s history, values and automotive world.
The Museo Enzo Ferrari is built around the house in which Enzo Ferrari was born in 1898. The MEF tells the story
of Enzo Ferrari as a young boy discovering the irresistible allure of the world of motor racing, his career as a driver in 1920s,
as the driving force behind the Scuderia Ferrari in the 1930s, and then as Ferrari, the Constructor, from 1947 onwards.
Scuderia Ferrari Club
We strive to maintain and enhance the power and passion we inspire in customers and the broader community of
automotive enthusiasts by continuing our rigorous production and distribution model, promoting hard-to-satisfy demand and
scarcity value in our cars. We also support our brand value by enabling a strong connection between Ferrari and our
community of enthusiasts.
Scuderia Ferrari Club is a non-profit consortium company founded in 2006 by Ferrari S.p.A. to coordinate the
activities of the Scuderia’s many fans who have founded clubs around the world. Today the Company has nearly 200
officially-recognised Clubs in over 20 countries. An incredible mix of different nationalities, cultures and lifestyles is united
by one enduring passion for Ferrari. Scuderia Ferrari Club also works with the Clubs to support the organization of their
events. Before joining Scuderia Ferrari Club, an organisation must demonstrate a significant track record and engage in a
conduct in line with Ferrari's values.

Risk Management Process and Internal Control Systems
Our risk management approach is an important business driver and it is integral to the achievement of the Group’s
long-term business plan. We take an integrated approach to risk management, where risk and opportunity assessment are at
the core of the leadership team agenda. The Board of Directors is responsible for considering the ability to control and
manage risks crucial to achieving its identified business targets, and for the continuity of the Group. For this reason, Ferrari
has developed varying appetites to achieve different strategic objectives, focusing attention at all relevant risk levels, from
risk management to internal control.
Ferrari has adopted the last publication (“Enterprise Risk Management - Integrating Strategy and Performance”) of
the COSO Framework (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) as the foundation of its
enterprise risk management (ERM).
In order to ensure the adequateness of its internal risk management and control systems, Ferrari has structured its
risk management process and internal control systems based on the “Three Level of Controls Model”. Each level of controls
has different roles and responsibilities with clearly defined boundaries:
The first level of control is composed of the functional management who is responsible for embedding risk
management and internal control systems into each business process. First line of control has the ownership,
responsibility and accountability for assessing and mitigating risks. It is constituted by core business Risk Owners,
staff functions Risk Owners and by the FLT.
The second level of control is composed of the functions that oversee risk management across the Company
processes, monitoring and facilitating the implementation of effective risk management and control activities by the
first line of control. It is constituted by Compliance, Strategic, Operational and Reporting functions such as
Enterprise Risk Management, Group Compliance, Sustainability, SOX, Health & Safety, Ecology & Energy,
Supplier Risk Management, Quality, Financial Risk Management, Group Financial Control and IT Security.
The third level of control is composed of Internal Audit that provides independent assurance on efficiency and
effectiveness of Ferrari's risk management, governance and internal control processes.
The FLT is responsible for identifying, prioritizing and mitigating risks and for the establishment and maintenance
of a risk management system across our business functions. As the decision making body led by the CEO and composed of
the heads of the operating segments and certain central functions, the FLT reviews the risk management framework and the
Company’s key global risks on a regular basis. For those risks deemed to be significant, comprehensive risk response plans
are developed and reviewed on a regular basis to ensure the actions are relevant and sufficient. Our risk management
framework is discussed with the Group’s Audit Committee at least on an annual basis.
Ferrari’s Enterprise Risk Management process
The Ferrari Enterprise Risk Management system is oriented by and structured in six different components:
1.Risk Governance: A structure through which our organization directs, manages and reports its risk management
activities. The Risk Governance structure encompasses clearly defined roles and responsibilities, decision-making
powers, a risk operating model and reporting lines.
2.Risk Culture: The values and the attitude consistent with our risk management culture are communicated to and
understood at all levels of the organization.
3.Risk Strategy & Appetite: Our risk management principles are intended to enable the achievement of our business
plan, goals and strategic objectives. Our risk appetite is balanced by risk tolerance, limits and associated protocols in
case of a breach to control risk levels within our organization.
4.Risk Assessment & Measurement: Established activities that allow Ferrari to identify, assess and quantify
potential risks on regular basis. This activity allows Ferrari to consider the potential impact that events may have on
the achievement of the Company’s objectives.
5.Risk Management & Monitoring: Management’s response to manage, mitigate or accept risk. Risk management
efforts create value through the use of information on risks and controls, in order to improve business performance.
Systematically monitoring the identified risks and management activities against established metrics permits timely
proactive response where warranted.
187
6.Risk Reporting: Reporting of risk and related information (e.g. mitigation activities) provide genuine insight into
the strengths and weaknesses of the risk management activity. Disclosure of risk management information to key
internal and external stakeholders, also supporting the decision-making processes.
Risk Appetite
The risk appetite of Ferrari, (i.e. the level of risk that Ferrari is willing to accept to achieve its objectives), has been
defined based on the parameters identified below and will be applied to our strategy, Code of Conduct, Company values and
policies. Ferrari does not rank by importance the individual types of risk reported in this section because it believes such
ranking would be an arbitrary exercise as all risks mentioned have relevance for the Group and the business. The types of risk
identified are as follows:
Risk category
Risk description
Risk appetite statement
Strategic risks (S)
Risks which affect or are
created by Ferrari’s business
strategy and could affect

Risk Trends and key risks
Ferrari assesses risks according to their potential impact, likelihood and the entity’s preparedness, which, properly
combined, determine an overall risk exposure to prioritize risks and focus the efforts on the most important ones. Ferrari
expects that the risk responses which have been implemented or that will be deployed when activated by ad-hoc triggers, will
mitigate the risks up to the level defined within the risk appetite.
Below we identify and discuss our key Company-specific risks. The risks listed and the response plans are not
exhaustive and may be adjusted from time to time. The image below shows the listed risks divided by risk category.
188
Brand Image (S/R)
The preservation and enhancement of the value of the Ferrari brand is crucial in driving revenue and demand for our
cars. The perception and recognition of the Ferrari brand are of strategic importance and depend on many factors such as the
design, technology, performance, quality and image of our cars, as well as the appeal of our dealerships and stores, the
success of our client activities, and our general profile, including our brand’s image of exclusivity.
The prestige, identity and appeal of the Ferrari brand also depend on the continued success of the Scuderia Ferrari
racing team in the Formula 1 World Championship.
Key aspects
Response plans:
Preserving brand value
Success of the Formula 1 team
Social Media management
Selective licensing of the Ferrari brand
Internal function dedicated to monitoring and maximizing residual value of Ferrari cars, monitoring
of pre-owned market and estimating evolution of residual values
Selective choice of franchising partners
Dealer score cards
Ferrari Academy (in-house training center for dealers)
Close monitoring of social media and Ferrari perception
Adoption of a Ferrari Social Media Practice
189
Unfavorable global economic conditions (S)
Deteriorating general economic conditions may affect disposable income and reduce consumer wealth, which in turn
may impact client demand, particularly for luxury goods, which may negatively impact our profitability and put downward
pressure on our prices and volumes. Furthermore, during recessionary periods, social acceptability of luxury purchases may
decrease and higher taxes may be more likely to be imposed on certain luxury goods including our cars.
In general, although our sales have historically been comparatively resilient in periods of economic turmoil, sales of
luxury goods tend to decline during recessionary periods when the level of disposable income tends to be lower or when
consumer confidence is low.
Key aspects
Response plans:
Dependency on mature
economies, particularly in
EMEA and the United States
Global economic development
Expanding in emerging markets, diversifying and monitoring economic trends; developing growth
plans in line with growth in number of High Net Worth Individuals and Ultra High Net Worth
Individuals
Closely monitoring all market developments and continuously reviewing the countries in which we
do business and their geo-political events
Monitoring budget and timing of capital expenditures
Monitoring customers’ orders and waiting lists
Planning car volumes to optimise dealer network stock levels
Incorporation of economic trends in financial forecasts
Competition (S)
We face competition in all product categories and markets in which we operate. We compete with other international
luxury performance car manufacturers which own and operate well-known brands of high-quality cars. Some of them are part
of larger automotive groups and may have greater financial resources and bargaining power with suppliers than us,
particularly in light of our policy to maintain low volumes in order to preserve and enhance the exclusivity of our cars. We
believe that we compete primarily thanks to our brand image, the performance and design of our cars, our reputation for
quality and the driving experience we offer our customers.
Several global luxury automotive manufacturers have increased competitive pressure for luxury cars particularly in
EMEA and the United States. Considering that these are mature markets, we anticipate that existing market participants will
try to aggressively protect or increase their market share. Increased competition may result in pricing pressure, reduction of
marginality and our inability to meet our shipment targets, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations and financial condition.
190
Key aspects
Response plans:
Order book and residual value
management
Margin pressure
Shipments
Customer base renewal

Definition and monitoring of waiting list targets
Internal department dedicated to monitor customer base renewal
Definition and monitoring of a customer satisfaction index
Personalization services (Atelier and Tailor Made)
Protection of our intellectual property through patents
Technological and regulatory uncertainty (S)
Performance cars are characterized by leading-edge technology that is constantly evolving. In particular, advances in
racing technology often lead to improved technology in road cars. Although we invest heavily in research and development,
we may be unable to maintain our leading position in high performance car technology and, as a result, our competitive
position may suffer. As technologies change, we plan to upgrade or adapt our cars and introduce new models in order to
continue to provide cars with the latest technology. However, our cars may not compete effectively with our competitors’
cars if we are not able to develop, source and integrate the latest technology into our cars.
Developing and applying new automotive technologies is costly, and may become even more costly in the future as
available technology advances and competition in the industry increases. If our research and development efforts do not lead
to improvements in car performance relative to the competition, or if we are required to spend more to achieve comparable
results, sales of our cars or our profitability may suffer.
External factors such as the shortages of raw materials and components, faster obsolescence of components and the
evolution or introduction of new regulations on (for example) safety, noise, environmental and sustainability require us to
further focus on defining new strategies on products and components. A failure in defining and establishing this strategy
could prejudice the preservation of individual initiatives’ profitability, our capacity to develop new attractive products and to
guarantee alignment between products’ features and customers’ preferences.
We are gradually but rapidly introducing hybrid and electric-electronic technology in our cars. In accordance with
our strategy, we believe hybrid and electric technology will be key to providing continuing performance upgrades to our
sports car customers, and will also help us capture the preferences of the urban, affluent GT cars purchasers whom we are
increasingly targeting, while helping us meet increasingly stricter emissions requirements.
We expect to increase R&D spending in the medium term particularly on hybrid and electric technology-related
projects. This transformation of our car technology creates risks and uncertainties such as the impact on driver experience,
and the impact on the cars’ residual value over time, both of which may be met with an unfavorable market reaction. Finally,
other luxury sports cars manufacturers may be more successful in implementing hybrid and electric technology.
191
Key aspects
Response plans:
Increase of complexity of products
and components
Misalignment between product
features & customer preferences
Shortening of components' and
technologies life-cycle
New dominant design/technologies
Increase of complexity in after
sales activity

experiences change
Continuous alignment between R&D department and Product Marketing department
Preparation of product briefs to provide effective guidance to all relevant functions during the new
products development phase
Monitoring of new market entrants and possible new actions adopted by existing competitors
Structured dealership network in order to offer a close after sales services to the clients
Global RRR (Retain-Recruit-Reward) project dedicated to dealerships in order to increase the
efficiency and effectiveness of dealership network
Delays in Brand Diversification strategy execution (S)
The COVID-19 pandemic conditions could influence our capacity to correctly and timely execute our Brand
Diversification strategy announced in 2019, which is centered on the strengthening the deployment of our brand in non-car
products and experiences.
Our Brand Diversification activities across different jurisdictions have been, and may continue to be, adversely
impacted, due to the temporary closure of the Ferrari stores, museums and theme parks to comply with government orders,
with an adverse impact on the our revenues originating from such activities.
Furthermore, our capacity to recruit new business partners, in the current pandemic and consequent economic
conditions, may be impacted resulting in a potential delay of our new Brand Diversification strategy expansion.
If we are unable to manage the current conditions, to monitor on a regular basis the achievement of the milestones,
to introduce new branded products that meet customers’ expectation, to monitor the potential misalignment between results
and milestones and to put in place promptly the necessary corrective actions, this may adversely affect our ability to achieve
our strategy and prevent our investments from generating the volumes and revenues estimated. In addition, if our strategy is
not successful, our brand image may be weakened or tainted.
192
Key aspects
Response plans:
Brand diversification strategies
Selection of new potential business
partners
Relationship with business
partners (e.g. licensees, franchisees,
theme parks, etc.)

Business Partners of all Health & Safety certifications
Social Audit procedures and supporting tools for conducting risk assessments and social audits to
check compliance to the Minimum Required Ethical Standards
Delay in products launch (O)
Our growth depends on the continued success of our existing cars, as well as the successful and timely introduction
of new cars. Our ability to create new cars and to sustain existing car models is affected by whether we can successfully
anticipate and respond to consumer preferences and car trends. The failure to develop successful new cars or delays in their
launch that could result in others bringing new products and leading-edge technologies to the market first, could compromise
our competitive position and hinder the growth of our business.
Our growth strategy may expose us to new business risks that we may not have the expertise, capability or the
systems to manage. This strategy will also place significant demands on us by requiring us to continuously evolve and
improve our operational, financial and internal controls. Continued expansion and continuous increasing of complexity of our
car models also could increases the challenges involved in maintaining high levels of quality, management and client
satisfaction, recruiting, training and retaining sufficient skilled management, technical and marketing personnel, supplying
new components from our suppliers.
If we are unable to manage these risks or meet these demands, our growth prospects and our business, results of
operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. In detail, we may have potential delay in new products launch
resulting in lower revenues volumes than planned.
Key aspects
Response plans:
Delay in product launch
Close monitoring of business strategy, its results and adoption of timely corrective actions
Structured internal process with assigned roles and responsibilities and defined activities for every product
development project
Project Management team in charge to define timing and monitoring every product development project
Monitoring of issues on quality and timing both at manufacturing level and at suppliers level to promptly take
corrective actions
Dependence on manufacturing facilities in Maranello and Modena and Production Costs (O)
193
All cars sold and assembled by us and all engines we use for our cars or we sell to Maserati are manufactured at our
production facility in Maranello, Italy, where we also have our corporate headquarters and Formula 1 activities. We
manufacture all our car chassis in a nearby facility in Modena, Italy.
In the event that we are unable to continue production at either of these two facilities, we would need to seek
alternative manufacturing arrangements which would take time and reduce our ability to produce sufficient cars to meet
demand.
Our Maranello or Modena plants could become unavailable either permanently or temporarily for a number of
reasons, including contamination, power shortage or labor unrest. In addition, Maranello and Modena are located in the
Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, which has the potential for seismic activity. If major disasters such as earthquakes, fires,
floods, hurricanes, wars, terrorist attacks, pandemics or other events occur, our headquarters, Formula 1 activities and
production facilities may be seriously damaged, or we may have to stop or delay the production and shipment of our cars.
Furthermore, we face risks related to supply chain disruption and to shortages of raw materials, parts, components
and systems used in our cars. Our ability to manage costs related to production activities could be impacted by general market
conditions and by the fluctuation of prices for raw materials, parts and components. If we are unable to manage a relevant
increase in our operating costs through new mitigations activities, such as hedging activities, increase in productivity or
higher cars prices, this could result in a reduction of or profitability.
Key aspects
Response plans:
Dependence on two manufacturing
facilities located in close proximity to
each other
Production and operations suspension
Shortage of critical production inputs
(e.g., raw-materials)
Investments in the last 15 years to reduce the extent of possible damage from earthquakes
IT disaster recovery plans
Insurance coverage
Safety Stock for critical components
Identification of an internal task force that monitors, identifies and address possible raw
materials, parts and components shortages
Relationship with suppliers (O)
Our business depends on a significant number of suppliers that provide raw materials, parts and systems we require
to manufacture cars and parts to run our business. We source materials from a limited number of suppliers. In addition,
similar to other small volume car manufacturers, most of the key components we use in our cars are purchased from single
source suppliers.
We work with strategic partners in various areas of our business, such as manufacturing, and since our strategic
partners’ approach might differ from our own standards, Ferrari is exposed to performance, operational, financial and
reputational risks regarding its suppliers. The COVID-19 pandemic could contribute to the financial distress for our suppliers
leading to reduction or termination of their operations. Suppliers’ default could have a negative effect on Ferrari’s business
activities resulting in additional costs, liabilities and leading to not having access to components/products supplied by the
business partner. Furthermore, potential unethical or improper business practices by suppliers could have a negative effect on
the Company’s reputation considering the high exposure of the Ferrari brand and image.
Furthermore, the increase of components and products’ complexity and the increase of car volumes produced could
result in further pressure on suppliers’ activities. If suppliers are unable to strengthen their operation or are unable to work on
multiple projects, this could lead to critical issues and lack of respect of requirements. In addition, if we are unable to monitor
suppliers’ activities, ensuring the respect of the highest standards in terms of technology, quality and timing, we could face a
potential increase of reworks, delay in car deliveries and recall/services campaigns.
194
Key aspects
Response plans:
Single source suppliers for
components
Dependence on limited number of
suppliers for raw materials, parts and
components
Critical issues from suppliers and lack

suppliers
High quality reputable suppliers assessed by the Supplier Risk Management function
Identifying alternative suppliers for critical components
KPIs’ definition for a continuous monitoring of supplier issues
A dedicated Supplier Development function with the mandate to monitor the suppliers’
conditions and encourage a continuous improvement of their activities
Attraction, development and retention of talents (O)
Our success and our innovation capacity depend on the ability of our senior executives and other members of
management to effectively manage individual areas of our business and our business as a whole.
The prestige, identity, and appeal of the Ferrari brand depend on the continued success of the Scuderia Ferrari racing
team in the Formula 1 World Championship, which depends on our ability to attract and retain top drivers, racing
management and engineering talent.
The fast technology evolution that automotive industry is experiencing requires us to always reinforce and update
our competences in new and emerging skill areas in order to guarantee a continuous alignment with market and technology
trends. Mapping current and comprehend future necessary competences has become pivotal and whenever a gap is identified,
the transition to new capabilities is pursued either through internal capabilities development or through talent acquisition on
the external market. Being unable to be ahead of technology trends or to develop new capabilities could increase the risks of
both not meeting expectations of existing and new customers and not maintaining our current competitive advantage.
If we are unable to attract, retain and incentivize senior executives, drivers, team managers and key employees to
succeed in international competitions or devote the capital necessary to fund successful racing activities, new models and
innovative technology, this may adversely affect the level of enthusiasm of Ferrari clients for the brand and their perception
of our cars, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Key aspects
Response plans:
Requirement for skilled engineers
Requirement to attract and retain the
best drivers

Training and development
195
Formula 1 revenues (O)
Revenues from our Formula 1 activities depend principally on the income from our sponsorship agreements and on
our share of Formula 1 revenues from broadcasting and other sources.
If we are unable to renew our existing sponsorship agreements or if we enter into new or renewed sponsorship
agreements with less favorable terms, our revenues would decline. Our capacity to renew our existing sponsorship
agreements and to have other more competitive sponsorship agreements also depends on our performance in Formula 1
activities and our ability to win Formula 1 championships, both drivers and constructors. Furthermore, the COVID-19
pandemic has impacted the 2021 Formula 1 season, resulting in a reduced number of Formula 1 races with spectators’
participation and corresponding lower revenues.
In addition, our share of profits related to Formula 1 activities may decline if either our team’s performance worsens
compared to other competing teams, or if the overall Formula 1 business suffers, including potentially as a result of
increasing popularity of the FIA Formula E championship.
Moreover, in order to compete effectively on track we have been investing significant resources in research and
development and competitively to compensate the best available drivers and other racing team members. These expenses also
vary based on changes in Formula 1 regulations that require modification to our racing engines and cars. These expenses are
expected to continue, and may grow further, including as a result of any changes in Formula 1 regulations, which would
negatively affect our results of operations and consequently our capacity to attract new business sponsorships.
Key aspects
Response plans:
F1 sponsorship revenues
F1 financial regulation
Internal organizational unit dedicated to F1 business partners
Definition of Branding Guidelines
Negotiation of new sponsorship contracts or renewal of current sponsorship contracts
Defining new services and custom experience and different activities to provide to our sponsors
Participation in Formula 1 Strategic Group
Continuous monitoring and implementation of required changes in the F1 regulations and
identification of early remediation plans
Cybersecurity including third parties vulnerabilities (O)
Our IT systems architecture and industrial machinery are exposed to external cyber-attacks. The number and
sophistication of attacks have dramatically increased in recent years. Furthermore, external cyber organizations are currently
better structured and organized than in the past and can more effectively perform cyber-attacks.
Also in the next years, we expect to increase the connectivity features of our cars. These new features may increase
the cyber security risk of our cars with the chance that an external attack may occur. In this case, potential impact may occur
on road users in term of safety, operational conditions of cars, financial impact and privacy damage. Furthermore, the
reputation and the integrity and value of our brand may be damaged and our business, operating results and financial
condition may be materially and adversely affected.
In addition, we have to consider also that our third parties could be subjected to external cyber-attacks. In case the
third party is connected to our system, the cyber attacker could penetrate also our IT systems. 
196
If we are unable to protect our system IT systems architecture and industrial machinery, to design a well-functioning
security architecture for our cars and to promote good practices with our third parties, we are exposed to the risk that both our
internal sensitive data and customers’ data stored in the cars can be stolen and disseminated externally. Alternatively, the data
can be encrypted and a ransom could be requested (ransomware practices).
Moreover, we have to consider that UN-ECE regulations has been introduced and we will be required to adopt a
Cyber Security Management System (“CSMS”) in order to obtain a certification to continue to register and sell our cars and
to demonstrate that we are able and aware to deal with potential cyber risk, both at car level and enterprise level. Failing in
obtaining the Cyber Security Management System Certification could result, for the countries where the regulation is
applicable, in impossibility to homologate and sell new types vehicle from July 2022 and to register and sell existing types
from July 2024.

Climate Change (H/S)
As relevant factors for long-term value creation, Ferrari considers pivotal to manage risks related to climate change.
The fight against climate change and the preservation of the environment are becoming crucial around the world and these
concerns have resulted in rapidly evolving climate and environmental regulations emitted across international markets.
Any difficulty or delay in implementing actions to become Carbon neutral by 2030, could negatively affect our
revenues, profits, image and our capacity to work with new and existing third parties that ask more attention on climate
change matters. 
Ferrari, by 2030, aims to address direct and indirect GHG emissions, focusing on energy and materials, in addition
to its electrification journey.
Ferrari aims to increase the environmental awareness to continuously set and implement new programs and actions.
We are conscious that these goals require an effort both from us and from our third parties and the Company is working on
adapting internal processes, developing components, studying materials and sharing this perspective with our partners.
Climate Change topic is also strongly connected to environmental laws’ changes and tightening. Please refer to
paragraph dedicated to “Technological and regulatory uncertainty” risk for further details on Ferrari’s view on this aspect.

We are subject to comprehensive and constantly evolving laws, regulations and policies throughout the world. We
expect the legal and regulatory requirements affecting our business and our costs of compliance to keep increasing
significantly in scope and complexity in the future. In Europe, United States and China, for example, significant
governmental regulation is driven by environmental, fuel economy, vehicle safety and noise emission concerns, and
regulatory enforcement has become more active in recent years. Evolving regulatory requirements could significantly affect
our product development plans and may limit the number and types of cars we sell and where we sell them, which may
adversely affect our revenue and operating results. 
Our compliance controls, policies, and procedures may not protect us in every instance from acts committed by our
employees, agents, contractors or collaborators that would violate the laws or regulations of the jurisdictions in which we
operate, including employment, foreign corrupt practices, environmental, competition, and other laws and regulations. In
particular, our business activities may be subject to anticorruption laws, regulations or rules of other countries in which we
operate. If we fail to comply with any of these regulations, it could adversely impact our operating results, financial condition
and reputation.

Ferrari operates in numerous markets worldwide and is exposed to market risks stemming from fluctuations in
currency and to a lesser extent interest rates and commodity prices. The exposure to currency risk is mainly linked to our cash
flows from sales which are denominated in currencies different from those connected to purchases or production activities.
We incur a large portion of our capital and operating expenses in Euro while we receive the majority of our revenues in
currencies other than Euro. 
The main foreign currency exchange rate to which Ferrari is exposed is the Euro/U.S. Dollar for sales in U.S.
Dollars in the United States and other markets where the U.S. Dollar is the reference currency. In 2021, the value of
commercial activity exposed to changes in the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate accounted for about 51 percent of the total
currency risk from commercial activity. Ferrari uses derivative financial instruments (primarily forward currency contracts
and currency options) to hedge up to 90 percent of the principal exposures to foreign currency exchange risk, typically for a
period of up to twelve months. Derivatives financial instruments are executed for hedging purposes only.
Several subsidiaries are located in countries that are outside the Eurozone exposing Ferrari to translational exchange
risk, in particular the United States, China, Japan, Australia and Singapore. The Group monitors its principal exposure to
translational exchange risk, although there was no specific hedging in this respect at the reporting date because the relative
exposure is not material.
In addition, foreign exchange movements might also negatively affect the relative purchasing power of our clients,
which could also have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.
Ferrari generally has a positive cash flow that almost offsets the exposure to liquidity risk. The Group uses various
forms of financing to cover the funding requirements of its industrial activity and for financing offered to customers and
dealers. The terms of these financings, which include bank facilities (committed and uncommitted), access to capital markets
and private placements, are intended to limit the Group exposure to interest rate fluctuation. Approximately 37 percent of the
Group’s total debt bears floating interest rates and Ferrari enters into interest rate caps as requested by certain of its asset-
backed financing agreements for its financial services activities. Considering the current capital structure of the Group,
Ferrari has not entered into any interest rate derivatives other than the interest rate caps mentioned, however, the exposure is
regularly monitored.
Ferrari’s most important financial asset is cash. It is held on bank and deposit accounts with primary financial
institutions and money market funds. Our group policy requires us to continuously monitor counterparty risk and limit
concentration of financial assets to a maximum of 25% of the total with a single financial counterpart. Ferrari owns a
financial services portfolio secured on the titles of cars or other guarantees, spread over more than 4,400 clients that are
mainly in the US. Impairment risk mainly relates to the financial services portfolio which is evaluated on an individual basis
for material or overdue credit positions. The amount of any write-down is based on an estimate of the recoverable cash flows,
their timing, recovery costs and the fair value of any guarantees received.
In addition, an increase of certain commodity prices can have a negative impact on Ferrari’s results. Ferrari uses
derivative financial instruments (primarily commodity swaps) to hedge a portion of certain exposure to commodity price risk.
Further information is included in Note 30 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Starting from October 2015 Ferrari N.V. is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), while from January
2016 Ferrari N.V. is also listed on the Euronext Milan (previously named Mercato Telematico Azionario).
Our shares’ listing on regulated markets involves being compliant with the related securities regulations and listing
rules. In particular, publicly traded companies filing financial statements with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
are required to comply with the Sarbanes Oxley Act requirements, in particular sections 302, 404 and 906 that involve a
periodical management assessment of internal controls and CEO and CFO Certifications of Periodic Financial Reports and
SEC Filings. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm is also required to report on the effectiveness of
the internal control over financial reporting.
Under the COSO Internal Control-Integrated Framework, according to which the internal control system is defined
as a set of rules, procedures and tools designed to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of corporate objectives,
Ferrari has developed an Internal Control System over the Financial Reporting in order to assure completeness, accuracy and
reliability of the group financial reporting.
Within the above mentioned context, identification and evaluation of the risk of misstatements which could have
material effects on financial reporting is carried out through a risk assessment process that uses a top-down approach to
identify the organizational entities, processes and the related accounts, in addition to specific activities that could potentially
generate significant errors. Under the methodology adopted by the Company, risks and related controls are associated with
the accounting and business processes upon which accounting information is based.
Significant risks identified through the assessment process require definition and evaluation of key controls that
address those risks, thereby mitigating the possibility that financial reporting will contain any material misstatements.
In accordance with international best practices, the Group has two principal types of control in place:
controls that operate at Group or subsidiary level, such as delegation of authorities and responsibilities, separation of
duties, and assignment of access rights to IT systems; and
controls that operate at process level, such as authorizations, reconciliations, verification of consistencies, etc. This
category includes controls for operating processes, controls for financial closing processes and controls carried out
by specific service providers. These controls can be preventive (i.e., designed to prevent errors or fraud that could
result in misstatements in financial reporting) or detective (i.e., designed to reveal errors or fraud that have already
occurred). These controls may also be classified as manual or automatic, such as application-based controls relating
to the technical characteristics and configuration of IT systems supporting business activities.
An assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of key controls is carried out through tests performed
periodically during the year, both at Group and subsidiary level, using sampling techniques recognized as best practices
internationally.
The assessment of the controls may require the definition of compensating controls and plans for remediation and
improvement. The results of monitoring are subject to periodic review by the manager responsible for the Company’s
financial reporting and communicated by him to senior management and to the Audit Committee.

Remuneration of Directors
Introduction
The description below summarizes the guidelines and the principles followed by Ferrari in order to define and
implement the remuneration policy applicable to the executive directors and non-executive directors of the Company, as well
as members of the Ferrari Leadership Team (FLT). In addition, this section provides the remuneration paid to these
individuals for the year ended December 31, 2021. The form and amount of compensation received by the directors of Ferrari
for the year ended December 31, 2021 was determined in accordance with the remuneration policy. The Compensation
Committee oversees the remuneration policy, remuneration plans and practices of Ferrari and recommends changes when
appropriate. The Committee is solely comprised of non-executive directors from the Board of Directors who are independent
pursuant to the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. Through this document, Ferrari aims to provide its stakeholders with a
high level of transparency and disclosure in order to strengthen the trust they and the market place in Ferrari, as well as
provide them with the information they need to assess the Company’s remuneration principles and exercise shareholders’
rights in an informed manner. The Company may from time to time amend the remuneration policy, subject to our
shareholders’ approval when necessary.
This Compensation Report consists of two sections:
1.Remuneration strategy: our current remuneration policy (which is available on our corporate website)
governs compensation for both executive and non-executive directors. In 2020, Ferrari confirmed these
remuneration features through the positive vote expressed by shareholders in the Annual General Meeting
held on April 16, 2020 (the “2020 AGM”).
Our current remuneration strategy further strengthens the alignment with shareholders’ interests and long-
term sustainability of our business, adopting certain updates to reflect developing best practices in the
Dutch Corporate Governance Code.
2.Implementation of remuneration strategy: details how remuneration features have been implemented during
the 2021 financial year and actual remuneration received by each executive and non-executive director. In
2021, there was no deviation from the remuneration policy.
1. Remuneration Strategy for the 2021 Financial Year
Remuneration principles
The main goal of Ferrari’s remuneration strategy is to develop a system which consistently supports the business
strategy and value creation for all shareholders, establishing a compensation structure that allows us to attract and retain the
most highly qualified executive talent and motivate such executives to achieve business and financial goals that create long-
term value for shareholders in a manner consistent with our core business and leadership values and taking into account the
social context around the Company.
In defining the remuneration strategy, the Compensation Committee has taken into account certain principles which
characterize Ferrari’s remuneration policy, such as:
1.the identity, mission and values of the Company, to attract, retain and reward skilled women and men who constitute
the soul of the Company. Their passion, courage, creativity, ambition and pride constitute the essence of Ferrari and
fuel its legend to ever greater heights. Being Ferrari means being part of a unique future-focused team in which
people are the most valuable resource. Together with all our employees we have crafted the vision, mission and
values that are the very essence of being part of Ferrari and which guide our employees as we tackle our day-to-day
challenges;
2.the provision of statutory requirements, with specific focus on the Shareholder Rights Directive (Directive (EU)
2017/828) and the implementation thereof into Dutch law;
3.international competitive remuneration market trends, based on the idea that it is becoming increasingly challenging
to attract and retain employees in today’s competitive labor market. For our executive directors and members of the
201
FLT, fixed remuneration, short-term incentive opportunities and long-term incentive opportunities are calculated
based on the position and responsibilities assigned to each, taking into account average remuneration levels on the
market for positions with similar levels of responsibility and managerial complexity in large international
companies, in order to maintain high levels of competitiveness and engagement;
4.corporate governance and executive remuneration best practices as expressed by institutional investor guidelines,
developing a remuneration policy compliant with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code and the interest of Ferrari’s
shareholders. We analyze any gaps in each of our remuneration components in order to provide a high level of
alignment with the main guidelines of our stakeholders;
5.the societal context around and social support in respect of the Company, developing a specific focus on trends in
sustainability among our employees. We are committed to provide a healthy and safe workplace for all employees
and stakeholders by implementing a high level of safety standards to avoid potential risks to people, assets or the
environment, in order to guarantee an optimal working environment for all employees and attract the best talents.
Our results in this field reflect, once again, our strategic commitment to protecting the environment and ensuring
personal safety;
6.the views of the Board of Directors, members of the FLT, other senior leaders and all employees, in order to make
the health and safety of the Company’s employees essential to the successful conduct and future growth of the
Company. In this respect and in line with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, the internal pay ratio is an
important input for determining the remuneration for the Board of Directors; and
7.the centrality for Ferrari of value creation and the interest of our shareholders, the importance of which is recognized
through the use of Total Shareholder Return (TSR) as a performance metric in the Company’s long-term incentive
plans. The Compensation Committee considers that the use of relative TSR remains one of the most appropriate
measures of long-term performance for Ferrari. The structure of our PSU awards demonstrates the centrality of this
factor and helps to promote a strong correlation between pay and performance for our Executives.
The main principles of Ferrari’s remuneration policy are outlined in the chart below:
Overview of remuneration elements
As anticipated above, Ferrari’s current remuneration policy was approved by shareholders at the 2020 AGM and
will be resubmitted to a vote by the Company’s General Meeting at least every four years. The structure of the remuneration
applicable to our executive directors, non-executive directors and other key management under Ferrari’s remuneration policy
has not changed in 2021 and consists of the following elements:
202
(i)fixed remuneration linked to the third pillar of Ferrari’s remuneration policy (Competitiveness) with the objective
of attracting, retaining and motivating our qualified executives and effective leaders. For this reason, we periodically
benchmark comparable salaries paid to executives with similar experience by comparable companies;
(ii)short-term incentives linked to the first and second pillars of Ferrari’s remuneration policy (Alignment with
Ferrari’s Strategy and Pay for Performance) and tied to specific financial targets which are set at challenging levels;
short-term incentives are also linked to the contribution of the individual member (Individual Performance Factor)
in order to motivate its beneficiaries to achieve challenging targets. In particular, Ferrari’s 2021 achievements,
success and developments were driven by organization-wide alignment with the Company’s strategy and values,
through incentives that reward the achievement of those goals;
(iii)long-term incentives linked to the first and fourth pillars of Ferrari’s remuneration policy (Alignment with Ferrari’s
Strategy and Long-Term Shareholder Value Creation) with the aim to align the behavior of executives critical to the
business with shareholders’ interests, motivate executives to achieve long-term strategic objectives, and enhance
retention of key resources;
(iv)non-monetary benefits which are related to the overall remuneration and linked to the third pillar of Ferrari’s
remuneration policy (Competitiveness).
Ferrari’s remuneration policy provides that a substantial portion of the compensation of our executive directors and
members of the FLT should be “at-risk”, meaning that each will receive a certain percentage of his or her total compensation
only to the extent Ferrari and the executive accomplish short and long-term goals established by the Compensation
Committee.
Stakeholder engagement
The Compensation Committee regularly reviews the directors’ remuneration policy against the best corporate
governance practices adopted by institutional shareholders and the recommendations of the main proxy advisors, considering
also the view of the stakeholders on the remuneration policy and main features of the compensation report.
In this respect, the Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on April 15, 2021 approved the remuneration
report for the year 2020 (the “Ferrari Remuneration Report 2020”) and the voting results are reflected in the following table:

207,876,928
158,295
Considering the previous vote of the Annual General Meeting of shareholders and to further understand
shareholders’ feedback to the Ferrari Remuneration Report 2020, we engaged with our stakeholders prior to drafting the
Compensation Report for the year 2021. We believe that those conversations have been very constructive and have led to
improvements in our Compensation Report. In particular, our reporting on both short term and long-term incentive plans was
identified as an area for improvement for the below reasons:
some stakeholders issued negative voting advice on the Ferrari Remuneration Report 2020 due to (i) the
accelerated vesting of PSU awards pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan 2019-2021 of the former CEO, Louis
Camilleri, upon his resignation; (ii) the vesting below median of the Equity Incentive Plan with reference to the
TSR metric; and (iii) the argued lack of link between one-third of the awards granted under the Equity Incentive
Plan (33% of RSUs) to any performance targets;
some stakeholders also issued negative voting advice on the Ferrari Remuneration Report 2020 due to the lack of
short-term incentive plans for executive directors, based on an annual performance assessment of collective and
individual indicators.
Since we constantly work on the improvement of our remuneration strategies, we have taken into account the
previous vote of the general meeting in the process of reviewing of our variable incentive schemes which will become
effective in 2022, as further described below in this Compensation Report. More specifically, (i) we included short-term
incentives in the Chairman’s and the CEO’s compensation packages for 2022, in order to better align executive directors’
actions to Ferrari’s strategy and performance and in line with best market practices, and (ii) we are re-designing our long-
203
term incentive structure by further improving some elements and with a specific view on sustainability-linked performance
indicators.
Through this Compensation Report we continue to pursue our objective to provide our stakeholders each year with
clear and comprehensive disclosure of the decisions relating to the remuneration of our executive and non-executive directors
and members of the FLT.
We trust that stakeholders will consider these changes positively and appreciate the spirit of transparency and
continuous improvement which drives them.
The Compensation Report for the financial year 2021 is subject to a consultative vote at the Annual General Meeting
of Shareholders scheduled for April 2022.

Executive directors’ pay-mix
In light of the foregoing considerations, our Executive Chairman’s and CEO’s compensation packages are structured
as follows:
2021
As shown in the charts above, our compensation structure places an appropriate amount of compensation
opportunities for our Executive Chairman and CEO at risk, based on financial and non-financial performance measures and
relative TSR. A significant portion of the compensation opportunities is delivered in equity, the vesting and value of which
are intended to align the executive’s interests with shareholder returns. The Chairman and Acting CEO compensation
package for 2021 did not include any short-term incentives, which have been included in the Chairman’s and CEO’s
compensation packages for 2022 (as shown in the charts below), in order to better align executive directors’ action to
Ferrari’s performance and strategy and in line with best market practices (see the section “2021 remuneration of executive
directors and FLT members” in the paragraph about benchmarking):
208
2022
Our remuneration policy is aligned with Dutch law and the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. In particular, the
Dutch Corporate Governance Code (the "Code") requires listed companies to disclose certain information about the
compensation of their Board and executive directors. Through this remuneration strategy, Ferrari fulfills the requirements of
the Code ensuring full transparency with our shareholders.
2021 remuneration of executive directors and FLT members
The Board of Directors determines the compensation for our executive directors following the recommendation of
the Compensation Committee and with reference to the remuneration policy. The compensation structure for executive
directors and FLT members includes a fixed component and a variable component based on short and long-term performance.
As anticipated above, the Chairman’s and Acting CEO’s compensation package for 2021 did not include any short-term
incentives, which have been included in the Chairman’s and CEO’s compensation packages for 2022 in order to make their
compensation packages more competitive with the relevant market (considering the companies belonging to the Reference
Panel described below).
We believe that this compensation structure promotes the interests of Ferrari in the short and the long-term and is
designed to encourage the executive directors and FLT members to act in the best interests of Ferrari. In determining the level
and structure of the compensation of the executive directors, the non-executive directors will take into account, among other
things, Ferrari’s financial and operational results and other business objectives, while considering the executive directors’
view concerning the level and structure of their own remuneration. Performance targets are set by the Compensation
Committee to be both achievable and stretching, considering Ferrari’s strategic priorities and the automotive landscape. The
209
performance measures that are used for variable components have been chosen to support Ferrari’s strategy, long-term
interests and sustainability. We establish target compensation levels using a market-based approach and we monitor
compensation levels and trends in the market. We also periodically benchmark our executive compensation program against
peer companies.
In particular, Ferrari identified for the role of CEO an ad hoc Reference Panel composed of 15 companies. Ferrari
benchmarked its CEO’s total remuneration with those of listed companies deemed comparable with Ferrari in light of some
or all of the following criteria: a) representing excellence and luxury in their respective sectors; b) operating in the same
business as Ferrari; c) acting in similar sectors ; d) presenting overall a similar Market Cap, Revenues and number of
Employees with Ferrari. The companies in the Reference Panel used by Ferrari for the CEO’s compensation benchmarking
are listed below:
Chief Executive Officer Reference Panel
Aston Martin Lagonda
Brembo

The Executive Chairman’s Reference Panel comprises the companies of the CEO’s Reference Panel which have a
Chairman with powers and delegations comparable to Ferrari (5 Companies out of 15 of those inserted in CEO’s Reference
Panel), along with two additional companies (added in order to benchmark a statistically significant number of peers and
determined based on companies that have a chairman with powers and authority comparable to the powers and authority of
the Executive Chairman). The companies forming part of the Reference Panel for the Executive Chairman target
compensation benchmarking are listed below:

Brembo
Compagnie Financiere Richemont
Ford Motors
Hermes International
Salvatore Ferragamo
The Estèe Lauder Companies
The Executive Chairman’s and the Acting CEO’s Reference Panels remained unchanged in 2021. The level and
structure of the Executive Chairman’s and CEO’s compensation packages for 2022 have been determined taking into account
the results of benchmarking conducted on the practices of the companies belonging to the abovementioned Reference Panels.
In particular, the current Executive Chairman’s and CEO’s compensation packages (i) have been adjusted in order to
result in line with the best market practice, in terms of level of compensation and structure, and with the Ferrari’s
remuneration policy as approved by shareholders at the 2020 AGM; and (ii) are competitive with the companies belonging to
the identified Reference Panel. More in detail, the CEO’s base salary is aligned to the median of the abovementioned
Reference Panel (in 2020, it was below the 25th percentile) while the Executive Chairman’s base salary is slightly below the
25th percentile of the relevant Reference Panel (in the 2020 was far below the 25th percentile); the total target compensation
for both of them is aligned to the median of the Reference Panel (in the 2020 were both below the 25th percentile). The same
applies for the pay mix (considered as ratio between base salary, LTI and STI components) which is aligned to the best
market practice.
On the basis of the remuneration policy objectives, compensation of executive directors and FLT members consists,
inter alia, of the elements discussed below.
210
Fixed component
The primary objective of the base salary (the fixed part of the annual cash compensation) for executive directors and
FLT members is to attract and retain highly qualified senior executives. Our policy is to periodically benchmark comparable
salaries paid to executives with similar experience by comparable companies.
Variable components
Executive directors and FLT members are also eligible to receive variable compensation subject to the achievement
of pre-established financial and other identified performance targets. The short and long-term components of executive
directors’ and FLT members’ variable remuneration are linked to predetermined, assessable targets in order to create long-
term value for the shareholders.
Our variable compensation programs are designed to recruit, motivate and reward executive directors and members
of the FLT delivering operational and strategic performance over time. The provisions and financial objectives of our variable
compensation programs are evaluated on an annual basis and modified in accordance with industry and business conditions.
Short-term incentives (STI)
The primary objective of our performance-based short-term variable cash-based incentives is to incentivize the
members of the FLT to focus on the business priorities for the current or next year. The short-term incentive plan is designed
to motivate its beneficiaries to achieve challenging targets, by recognizing individual contributions to the Group’s results on
an annual basis. The Compensation Committee believes that it is appropriate to use a balance of corporate financial targets,
strategic objectives and individual performance objectives.
The methodology for Short Term Incentive Calculation is the following:
The target level for both the Company Performance Factor and the Individual Performance Factor is 100%, reaching
a possible maximum level which is equal to the 150% of target set level, resulting in a maximum pay-opportunity equal to
225% of base salary.
To determine the executive directors’ annual performance bonus, the non-executive directors, upon proposal of the
Compensation Committee:
approve the executive directors’ targets and maximum allowable bonuses;
select the appropriate metrics and their weighting;
set the stretch objectives;
consider any unusual items in a performance year to determine the appropriate measurement of achievement;
and
approve the final bonus determination.
211
In 2021, the Compensation Committee defined the Company Performance Factor by reference to four metrics:
Net Revenues (20%)
Consolidated Adjusted EBIT (20%)
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin (20%)
Industrial Free Cash Flow (40%)
The Compensation Committee established challenging goals for each metric, each of which pays out independently.
There is no minimum bonus payout; as a result, if none of the threshold objectives are satisfied, there is no bonus payment.
In addition, upon proposal of the Compensation Committee, the non-executive directors have authority to grant
special bonuses for specific transactions that are deemed exceptional in terms of strategic importance and effect on Ferrari’s
results, taking into account standards of reasonableness and fairness. The form of any such bonus (cash, common shares of
Ferrari or options to purchase common shares) is determined by the non-executive directors from time to time.
In particular, during 2021, a special bonus was awarded to Benedetto Vigna (subject to approval by shareholders at
the 2022 Annual General Meeting) for having joined Ferrari (the “Welcome Bonus”). The attraction and the appointment of
the new CEO - considering his deep understanding of the technologies driving the change in the Company’s industry, and his
proven innovation, business-building and leadership skills – was considered a transaction of strategic importance and effect
for Ferrari’s results.
Pursuant to the Welcome Bonus, the CEO has been granted (i) an extraordinary cash lump sum of €1,000,000 and
(ii) 16,256 Ferrari common shares, in each case subject to approval by shareholders at the 2022 Annual General Meeting.
Subject to approval by shareholders at the 2022 Annual General Meeting, the shares have been granted by Ferrari without the
obligation to hold the shares for a least five years, because the attraction and the appointment of the new CEO – considering
his deep understanding of the technologies driving the change in the Company’s industry, and his proven innovation,
business-building and leadership skills – was considered a transaction of strategic importance and effect for Ferrari’s results.
With the exception of the Welcome Bonus, no special bonuses were awarded to the executive directors or members
of the FLT for 2021.
As described above, our executive directors (Executive Chairman and CEO) were not included in the Short-Term
Incentive Plan in 2021, but they will be included in the Short-Term Incentive Plan for 2022, in order to better align executive
directors’ action to Ferrari’s strategy and performance and in line with best market practice.
Long-term incentives (LTI)
We believe that the equity incentive plan discussed below increases the alignment between the Company’s
performance and shareholder interests, by linking the compensation opportunity of the executive directors and members of
the FLT to increasing shareholder value.
During 2021, Ferrari had three long-term equity incentive plans in place, consistent with the Company’s business
plan presented at the Capital Markets Day in September 2018 and awarding to their beneficiaries a combination of
performance share units (“PSUs”) and restricted share units (“RSUs”), each representing the right to receive one Ferrari
common share:
(i)Equity Incentive Plan 2019-2021, approved on February 26, 2019 by the Board of Directors, covering a performance
period from 2019 to 2021, having the Executive Chairman and the former CEO of the Company, as well as members
of the FLT and other key employees of the Group, as beneficiaries; this plan ended on December 31, 2021;
(ii)Equity Incentive Plan 2020-2022, approved on February 17, 2020 by the Board of Directors, covering a performance
period from 2020 to 2022, having the Executive Chairman, as well as members of the FLT and other key employees
of the Group as beneficiaries. The former CEO was not eligible for the Equity Incentive Plan 2020-2022;
(iii)Equity Incentive Plan 2021-2023, approved on February 26, 2021 by the Board of Directors, covering a performance
period from 2021 to 2023, having the Executive Chairman and Interim CEO of the Company, as well as members of
the FLT and other key members of the Group as beneficiaries.
212
The PSU awards are earned based on the level of achievement of defined key performance indicators relating to: i) a
relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) target (which is relative to the TSR of a defined peer group (“Peer Group”)), ii) an
EBITDA target, and iii) an innovation target. Each target is measured independently of the other targets and relates to
separate portions of the aggregate awards. The RSU awards are service-based and vest conditional on the executive directors’
continued employment with the Company at the time of vesting.

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

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

vesting period in 2022, while the RSUs granted under the Equity Incentive Plan 2020-2022 and the Equity Incentive Plan
2021-2023 will vest in 2023 and 2024 at the end of the three-years cliff vesting period, subject to continued employment with
the Company.

that were granted to Mr. Elkann in 2020 is €139.39 per share and the fair value of the RSUs that were granted to the
Chairman and Interim CEO in 2021 is €171.86 per share.
Equity Incentive Plan 2022-2024 design main features
The design of the new Equity Incentive Plan 2022-2024, which Ferrari will implement in 2022, subject to the
approval of the next Annual General Meeting, provides for significant changes compared to the former Long-Term Equity
Incentive Plans. The main changes, which will be better illustrated in the Agenda and Explanatory Notes of the Annual
General Meeting to be held in April 2022, include:
216
Combination of PSUs and RSUs: different weight of their distribution in relation to the responsibilities and the
level of contribution to the results of each cluster of beneficiaries. Executive Directors will be entitled only to PSUs
in order to strengthen the alignment of their long-term interests with those of shareholders;
Financial criteria related to the vesting of PSUs: TSR Peer Group will be updated in order to consider more
comparable companies to Ferrari and the pay-out scale will be amended accordingly, requiring performance at the
benchmark median before rewarding beneficiaries;
Non-financial criteria: the Innovation Performance Factor will be replaced by two ESG-related criteria.
Other benefits
Executive directors may also be entitled to customary fringe benefits such as personal use of aircraft, company cars
and drivers, personal/home security, medical insurance, accident insurance, tax preparation and financial counselling. The
Compensation Committee may grant other benefits to the executive directors in particular circumstances.
Severance
The terms of service of the CEO provide that termination of the contract by either party is subject to six months’
notice period. However, if the Company terminates his services for reasons other than for just cause (as defined) or if he
terminates his services due to the reduction or limitations of his managing powers or following his dismissal in case of
change of control, the Company shall pay the CEO an amount equal to 18 monthly installments of his base monthly salary,
including any amount due for the six months’ notice period (which means that the severance amount does not exceed 12
months’ salary, in line with the Code), plus the accrued pro rata of the Company's contribution to the pension fund as well as
STI and LTI variable compensation accrued at the date of termination of employment. If an actual severance payment will be
made at the termination of employment and such severance payment would exceed 12 months’ base salary, then a disclosure
will be made in line with the Code.
If within twenty-four months following a change of control (as defined), the Chairman’s services are terminated by
the Company (other than for cause), or are terminated by the Chairman for good reason, the Chairman is entitled to receive
the accelerated vesting of awards under his long-term incentive plan.
217
Internal pay ratios
In line with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, the internal pay ratio is an important input for determining the
Remuneration Policy for the Board of Directors. In addition, also in line with new guidance on methodology, the Company
has applied a different methodology when compared to previous years. For the financial year 2021 the internal pay ratio (the
ratio between (i) the total annual remuneration of the CEO and (ii) the average annual remuneration of the employees of the
company and the group companies of which the company consolidates the financial data) is as follows: using the CEO’s total
annual remuneration41 provided for 2021 (€4,486,151), the resulting CEO pay ratio versus the average employee annual
remuneration42 was 48.4 (in 2020: 87.4). The value of the CEO pay ratio as compared with the pay ratios disclosed in the
previous years is not representative due to the change of the calculation methodology, as explained above. For this reason and
in order to provide a comparison, the table below reports the pay ratios of the previous years calculated following the current
calculation methodology.
2021
2020
2019
CEO Total Remuneration Costs (A)
4,486,151
6,835,721

92,656
78,193
83,780
PAY RATIO (A/B)
48.4
87.4
103.0
The decrease in the pay ratio in 2021 when compared to 2020 can be explained, inter alia, by the fact that for 2020
and 2019 the pay ratio is calculated considering the remuneration of the former CEO, Louis Camilleri, whose compensation
package was different from that of the current CEO and included a large portion of LTI variable compensation.
For 2021 the pay ratio is calculated considering the remuneration of the current CEO, Benedetto Vigna payable for
the period from September 16, 2021 which includes a one-off Welcome Bonus. There is no significant difference between the
pay ratio so calculated and the pay ratio calculated based on the target remuneration elements pro rated on a full year basis. In
addition, the compensation payable to Mr. Elkann as interim CEO during 2021 is not included in the calculation of the pay
ratio, because such compensation has been forfeited by Mr. Elkann (see “—Implementation of Remuneration Strategy in 2021
—Directors’ Compensation” below).
Recoupment of incentive compensation (claw back policy)
The Equity Incentive Plans (the Equity Incentive Plan 2019-2021, the Equity Incentive Plan 2020-2022 and the
Equity Incentive Plan 2021-2023) include a claw back clause, which allows the Company to claim the refund of part or all of
the variable component of remuneration awarded or paid on the basis of information or data that subsequently prove
manifestly incorrect, if the Board of Directors determines that circumstances that would have constituted “cause” (as defined)
existed while the remuneration remained unvested or due to the beneficiaries’ fraud or negligence (each, a “Recovery
Event”).
In particular, if a Recovery Event occurs within two years after the payment of cash or delivery of any shares in
respect of the PSUs or RSUs, a participant will be required to repay the net amount received, as determined by the Board of
Directors in its discretion.
Stock ownership
In 2019 the Board of Directors determined stock ownership guidelines applicable to Ferrari’s directors and certain
employees, recognizing the critical role that stock ownership has in aligning the interests, in particular, of Ferrari’s Executive
Chairman, CEO, FLT members and senior leaders and key employees with those of the shareholders. As of the end of the
2021 financial year, covered employees should own Ferrari common shares in the following minimum amounts (as a multiple
of net base salary):
218
41 The total annual remuneration of the CEO includes all remuneration components (such as fixed remuneration, variable remuneration in cash (bonus), the
share-based portion of the remuneration (value of the share-based payment is determined at the time of allocation in line with the applicable regulations
under IFRS), social premiums, pension, expense allowance, et cetera), as included in the (consolidated) financial statements on an IFRS basis.
42 The average annual remuneration of the employees is determined by dividing the total wage costs in the financial year (as included in the (consolidated)
financial statements on an IFRS basis) by the average number of FTEs during the financial year. Hiring of external employees is taken into account on a pro
rata basis, insofar as these are hired for at least three months during the financial year.
Incumbent
Share Ownership Guideline
Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
6 times net base salary
Other FLT members
3 times net base salary
Other senior leaders
1.5 times net base salary
Other key employees
1 times net base salary
The above listed covered employees are required to achieve the applicable ownership threshold within five years,
through acquisitions of Ferrari common shares as a result of the vesting of PSUs or RSUs until the required ownership level
has been met, excluding any shares sold to pay taxes in connection with the granting of those shares. In addition to the stock
ownership guidelines, the Executive Chairman and the CEO are each required to retain one hundred percent (100%) of the
number of shares of common stock issued, on a net, after-tax basis, upon vesting and settlement of any equity awards granted
to such individual until the fifth anniversary of the grant date of such award other than in the event of death, termination of
service due to total disability, approved leave of absence or retirement.
Scenario analysis
On an annual basis, the non-executive directors, upon proposal of the Compensation Committee, examine the
relationship between the performance criteria chosen and the possible outcomes for the variable remuneration of our
executive directors (scenario analysis). To date, the non-executive directors believe the remuneration policy has proven
effective in terms of establishing a correlation between Ferrari’s strategic goals and the chosen performance criteria, as the
main key performance criteria of our executive directors’ long-term incentive plan (i.e. the TSR, EBITDA and Innovation
Performance Factor), which represents a significant part of the Chairman’s and the CEO’s compensation package, supports
both Ferrari’s business strategy and value creation for our shareholders. As specified above, in 2022 the non-financial criteria
will be updated, replacing the Innovation Performance Factor with two ESG-related factors.
The Compensation Committee evaluates the mix of variable compensation linked to financial and non-financial
performance, as well as shareholder returns, taking also into account the wages and employment conditions of our employees.
Our incentive plans are based on peer and market benchmarked performance metrics.
In the event that specific long-term threshold performance targets are not achieved, there will be no variable pay
vesting or payout for executive directors for the relevant period.
The following table and chart describe compensation levels that the Executive Chairman and the CEO could receive
in 2022 (2021 has not been considered since less representative) under the compensation packages to be implemented and
different scenarios in a calendar year, assuming a constant share price (i.e. no appreciation):

Details of assumption
Fixed remuneration
This comprises base salary with effect from January 1, 2022. The Executive
Chairman salary is €500,000 (starting from October 1, 2021) and the CEO
annualized salary is €1,500,000.
Short-term Incentive Plan
Subject to approval by the next Annual General Meeting, the compensation
packages for 2022 for the Chairman  and the CEO will include a short-term
incentive plan with a target pay-opportunity equal to 100% of base salary and
maximum pay-opportunity equal to 225% of base salary.
Long-term Incentive Plan
The new LTI Plan 2022-2024 will introduce significant changes as to the
amount of PSUs and RSUs to be awarded to the executive directors (which will
be awarded only with PSUs) and as to the metrics to which PSUs are linked.
Executive Chairman and CEO:
in case of failure to achieve any of the performance criteria the scenario
assumes no award of PSUs;
in case of achievement of the targets for each of the performance
criteria, the scenario assumes an award equal to target pay opportunity
(200% of base salary);
in case of achievement of the maximum level of each performance
criteria the scenario assumes the award equal to maximum pay
opportunity (274% of base salary).
220
N.B. Details about the Chairman and the CEOs actual 2021 remuneration are included in section 2. Implementation of remuneration policy in 2021
Remuneration policy for Non-Executive Directors
Remuneration of non-executive directors is approved by the Company’s shareholders and periodically reviewed by
the Compensation Committee.
Remuneration of non-executive directors is fixed and not dependent on the Company’s financial results. Non-
executive directors are not eligible for variable compensation and do not participate in any incentive plans.
The current annual remuneration for the non-executive directors (which was approved at the AGM, held on April
15, 2020) is shown in the table below:
Non-Executive Director Compensation

Remuneration of other employees
Ferrari aims to provide a market-competitive and fair remuneration package for its workforce, in line with the
remuneration policy and in order to better pursue the Company’s strategy and purpose and contribute to long-term value
creation.
221
Furthermore, Ferrari operates a merit-based remuneration policy, not discriminating on the basis of gender, age,
nationality, social status or cultural background. In 2020, Ferrari S.p.A. started an in-depth analysis on equal remuneration,
which led, in July 2020, to the award of the Equal Salary Certificate for providing equal pay to men and women with the
same qualifications and positions in the Company which has been maintained also in 2021. This award is a testament to the
Company’s commitment to creating an inclusive and diverse working environment while fostering career development for
all. Ferrari was the first Italian Company to receive this award The certification process included a detailed statistical analysis
of compensation levels, which revealed that Ferrari is one of Europe’s companies successfully eliminating the gender pay
gap. Ferrari sees this certification not as an end point but as a further stage of growth and an opportunity to implement
tangible actions to ensure that everyone can pursue his own professional growth.
The same process was conducted in 2020 also for Ferrari North America Inc. which has been awarded with the
Equal Salary Certification as well as Ferrari S.p.A. and maintains it in 2021.
2. Implementation of Remuneration Strategy in 2021
Introduction
This section sets out the implementation of Ferrari’s remuneration strategy for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The remuneration granted in the year ended December 31, 2021 is in accordance with the substance and the procedures of the
remuneration strategy (as set out above) and therefore we believe it allows us to seek to attract and retain the most highly
qualified executive talent and motivate such executives to achieve business and financial goals that create long-term value for
shareholders in a manner consistent with our core business and leadership values and taking into account the social context
around the Company.

an education fund with the mandate to provide locally quality, fair and inclusive education as well as equal learning
opportunities.

Compensation of the members of the FLT
The compensation paid to or accrued during the year ended December 31, 2021 by Ferrari and its subsidiaries to the
members of the FLT (excluding the CEO) amounted to €18.7 million in aggregate, €14.1 million for salary and other short-
term benefits (which is linked to the FY 2021 performance and represents slightly more than the target set levels), €4.2
million for share-based compensation in relation to PSUs and RSUs awarded under the Group’s Equity Incentive Plans
(2019-2021; 2020-2022; 2021-2023) and €0.4 million for the Group’s contributions to pension funds. The PSU and RSU
awards will vest in March 2022, 2023 and 2024, subject to continued employment and, for the PSU awards, to the
achievement of performance conditions related to TSR, EBITDA and Innovation, as described above. Given Ferrari’s third 
place positioning in the TSR ranking against the Peer Group (corresponding to the vesting of 100 per cent. of the target PSUs
awarded) for the vesting of the Equity Incentive Plan 2016-2020, which covers the performance period from 2018 to 2020,
ending at December 31, 2020, 37,082 PSUs and 19,812 RSUs had vested for FLT members.
Director and Officer Overlaps
There are overlaps among certain directors and officers of Stellantis (formerly FCA) and our directors and officers.
These individuals owe duties both to us and to the other companies that they serve as officers and/or directors. This may raise
certain conflicts of interest as, for example, these individuals review opportunities that may be appropriate or suitable for both
Ferrari and such other companies, or business transactions are pursued in which both Ferrari and such other companies have
an interest, such as Ferrari’s arrangement to supply engines for Maserati cars. For example, Mr. John Elkann our Chairman, is
also the Chairman of Stellantis and the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Exor. At February 14, 2022, Exor held
approximately 24.21 percent of our outstanding common shares and approximately 36.00 percent of the voting power in the
Company, while it holds approximately 14.4 percent of the outstanding common shares in Stellantis, based on SEC filings.
The percentages of ownership and voting power above are calculated based on the number of outstanding shares net of
treasury shares. See “Risk Factors - Risks related to our Common Shares - We may have potential conflicts of interest with
Stellantis and Exor and its related companies”.

1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
Background
Ferrari is among the world’s leading luxury brands. The activities of Ferrari N.V. (herein referred to as “Ferrari” or
the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries the “Group”) and its subsidiaries are focused on the design, engineering,
production and sale of luxury performance sports cars. The cars are designed, engineered and produced in Maranello and
Modena, Italy and sold in more than 60 markets worldwide through a network of 172 authorized dealers operating 191 points
of sale. The Ferrari brand is licensed to a selected number of producers and retailers of luxury and lifestyle goods, with
Ferrari branded merchandise also sold through a network of 16 Ferrari-owned stores and 14 franchised stores (including 12
Ferrari Store Junior), as well as on Ferrari’s website. To facilitate the sale of new and pre-owned cars, the Group provides
various forms of financing to clients and dealers, including through cooperation and other agreements with certain financial
institutions. Ferrari also participates in the Formula 1 World Championship through Scuderia Ferrari. The activities of
Scuderia Ferrari are a core element of Ferrari marketing and promotional activities and an important source of innovation to
support the technological advancement of Ferrari range models.
Basis of preparation
Authorization of consolidated financial statements and compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
These consolidated financial statements of Ferrari N.V. were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on
February 25, 2022.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), as well as IFRS as adopted by the
European Union. There is no effect on these consolidated financial statements resulting from differences between IFRS as
issued by the IASB and IFRS as adopted by the European Union. The designation IFRS also includes International
Accounting Standards (“IAS”) as well as the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations
Committee (“IFRIC” and “SIC”).
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and applying the historical cost method,
modified as required for the measurement of certain financial instruments, which are generally measured at fair value.
The Group’s presentation currency is the Euro, which is also the functional currency of the Company, and unless
otherwise stated information is presented in thousands of Euro.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Format of the financial statements
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of
comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of cash flows, consolidated
statement of changes in equity and the accompanying notes (referred to collectively as the “Consolidated Financial
Statements”).
For presentation of the consolidated income statement, the Group uses a classification based on the function of
expenses, as it is more representative of the format used for internal reporting and management purposes and is consistent
with international practice.
In the consolidated income statement, the Group presents a subtotal for Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT).
EBIT distinguishes between the profit before taxes arising from operating items and those arising from financing activities.
EBIT is one of the primary measures used by the Board of Directors (the Group’s “Chief Operating Decision Maker” as
defined in IFRS 8 Operating Segments) to assess performance.
Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
232
For presentation of the consolidated statement of financial position, a mixed format has been selected to present
current and non-current assets and liabilities, as permitted by IAS 1 paragraph 60. More specifically, the Consolidated
Financial Statements include both industrial and financial services activities. Receivables from financing activities are
included in current assets as the investments will be realized in their normal operating cycle. The funding for financial
services activities is primarily obtained through securitization programs and funding from certain of the Group’s operating
companies. This financial service structure within the Group does not allow the separation of financial liabilities funding the
financial services operations (whose assets are reported within current assets) and those funding the industrial operations.
Presentation of financial liabilities as current or non-current based on their date of maturity would not facilitate a meaningful
comparison with financial assets, which are categorized on the basis of their normal operating cycle. Disclosure as to the due
date of the various components of debt is provided in Note 24.
The consolidated statement of cash flows is presented using the indirect method.
New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2021
The following new amendments that are applicable on or subsequent to January 1, 2021 were adopted by the Group
for the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Group adopted a package of amendments to IFRS 9 — Financial Instruments, IAS 39 — Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, IFRS 7 — Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 4 — Insurance Contracts
and IFRS 16 — Leases in response to the reform of inter-bank offered rates (IBOR) and other interest rate benchmarks. The
amendments aim at helping companies to provide investors with useful information about the effects of the reform on those
companies’ financial statements. These amendments focus on the effects on financial statements when a company replaces
the old interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate as a result of the reform. The new amendments relate to:
changes to contractual cash flows – a company is not be required to derecognize or adjust the carrying amount of
financial instruments for changes required by the interest rate benchmark reform, but will instead update the
effective interest rate to reflect the change to the alternative benchmark rate;
hedge accounting – a company does not have to discontinue its hedge accounting solely because it makes changes
required by the interest rate benchmark reform if the hedge meets other hedge accounting criteria; and
disclosures – a company is required to disclose information about new risks that arise from the interest rate
benchmark reform and how the company manages the transition to alternative benchmark rates.
There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.
The Group adopted the amendments to IFRS 4 — Insurance Contracts which deferred the expiry date of the
temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. There was no effect
from the adoption of these amendments.
The Group adopted the amendments to IFRS 16 for COVID-19-related rent concessions beyond 30 June 2021. The
amendment extended the applicability of a previous amendment to IFRS 16 in 2020 that permits lessees, as a practical
expedient, not to assess whether particular rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic are
lease modifications and instead to account for those rent concessions as if they are not lease modifications, thus giving the
possibility to the lessees to recognize the entire economic benefit of such discounts immediately through profit or loss. There
was no significant effect from the adoption of this amendment.
New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet effective
The standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”)
that will have mandatory application in 2022 or subsequent years are listed below:
In May 2017 the IASB issued IFRS 17 — Insurance Contracts, which establishes principles for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts issued as well as guidance relating to reinsurance contracts
held and investment contracts with discretionary participation features issued. In June 2020 the IASB issued amendments to
Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
233
IFRS 17 aimed at helping companies implement IFRS 17 and make it easier for companies to explain their financial
performance. The new standard and amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Group does not expect any
material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In January 2020 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 — Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of
Liabilities as Current or Non-Current to clarify how to classify debt and other liabilities as current or non-current, and in
particular how to classify liabilities with an uncertain settlement date and liabilities that may be settled by converting to
equity. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Group does not expect any material impact from the
adoption of these amendments.
In May 2020 the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 — Business combinations to update a reference in IFRS 3 to
the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations.
These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2022. The Group does not expect any material impact from the
adoption of these amendments.
In May 2020 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 16 — Property, Plant and Equipment. The amendments prohibit
a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced
while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company should recognize such sales proceeds and
the related cost in the income statement. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2022. The Group does not
expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In May 2020 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 37 — Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets,
which specify which costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making. These amendments
are effective on or after January 1, 2022. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these
amendments.
In May 2020 the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018 - 2020 Cycle. The improvements have amended
four standards with effective date January 1, 2022: i) IFRS 1 — First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting
Standards in relation to allowing a subsidiary to measure cumulative translation differences using amounts reported by its
parent, ii) IFRS 9 — Financial Instruments in relation to which fees an entity includes when applying the ‘10 percent’ test for
derecognition of financial liabilities, iii) IAS 41 — Agriculture in relation to the exclusion of taxation cash flows when
measuring the fair value of a biological asset, and iv) IFRS 16 — Leases in relation to an illustrative example of
reimbursement for leasehold improvements. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these
amendments.
In February 2021 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 — Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice
Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies which require companies to disclose their material accounting policy
information rather than their significant accounting policies and provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality
to accounting policy disclosures. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Group does not expect any
material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In February 2021 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8 — Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates
and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates which clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting
policies from changes in accounting estimates. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Group does
not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In May 2021 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 — Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and
Liabilities Arising From a Single Transaction that clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as
leases and decommissioning obligations. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Group does not
expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In December 2021 the IASB issued an amendments to IFRS 17 — Insurance Contracts: Initial Application of IFRS
17 and IFRS 9 - Comparative Information, which provides a transition option relating to comparative information about
financial assets presented on initial application of IFRS 17. The amendment is aimed at helping entities to avoid temporary
accounting mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract liabilities, and therefore improve the usefulness of

comparative information for users of financial statements. The amendment is effective on or after January 1, 2023. The
Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of this amendment.
Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. Control is achieved when the Group has power over the
investee, when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and has the ability to
use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated on a line by line
basis from the date on which the Group achieves control. The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts
and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
The Group recognizes any non-controlling interests (“NCI”) in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis,
either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Net profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income/(loss) are attributed to the owners of the parent and to
the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income/(loss) of subsidiaries is attributed to owners of the parent and to
the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
All significant intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealized gains and losses arising from intra-group
transactions are eliminated in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Subsidiaries are deconsolidated from the date when control ceases. When the Group ceases to have control over a
subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary at their carrying amounts,
derecognizes the carrying amount of non-controlling interests in the former subsidiary and recognizes the fair value of any
consideration received from the transaction. Any retained interest in the former subsidiary is then remeasured to its fair value.
In 2016 the Group sold a majority stake in Ferrari Financial Services GmbH. From such date, the Group’s remaining
interest has been remeasured at fair value and accounted for using the equity method.
Interests in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to
participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but without having control or joint control over
those policies. Associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting from the date significant influence is
obtained.
Under the equity method, the investments are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the
Group’s share of the profit/(loss) and other comprehensive income/(loss) of the investee. The Group’s share of the investee’s
profit/(loss) is recognized in the consolidated income statement. Distributions received from an investee reduce the carrying
amount of the investment. Post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income/(loss) are recognized in other
comprehensive income/(loss) with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment.
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s
interest in the associate. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of
the asset transferred.
When the Group’s share of the losses of an associate exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate, the Group
discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to
the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date the investment ceases to be an associate or when
it is classified as available-for-sale.
Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated
impairment losses.
Development costs
Development costs for car project production and related components, engines and systems are recognized as an
asset if, and only if, both of the following conditions under IAS 38 Intangible Assets are met: that development costs can
be measured reliably and that the technical feasibility of the product, volumes and pricing support the view that the
development expenditure will generate future economic benefits. Capitalized development costs include all direct and indirect
costs that may be directly attributed to the development process. All other research and development costs are expensed as
incurred, net of any government grants received.
Capitalized development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis from the start of production over the estimated
lifecycle of the model or the useful life of the related components or other assets (generally between four and eight years).
The Group incurs significant research and development costs through the Formula 1 racing activities. These costs
are considered fundamental to the development of the range and track car models and prototypes. Technological
developments and changes in the regulations of the Formula 1 World Championship generally require the Group to design,
develop and construct a new racing car to be used for one year only. The costs incurred for the design, development and
construction of a new racing car are generally expensed as incurred unless the technology will be used for more than one year
and the costs meet the capitalization criteria in IAS 38.
Patents, concessions and licenses
Separately acquired patents, concessions and licenses are initially recognized at cost. Patents, concessions and
licenses acquired in a business combination are initially recognized at fair value. Patents, concessions and licenses are
amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful economic lives, which is generally between three and five years.
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets mainly relate to the registration of trademarks and have been recognized in accordance with
IAS 38 Intangible Assets, where it is probable that the use of the asset will generate future economic benefits for the Group
and where the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Other intangible assets are measured at cost less any impairment
losses and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated life, which is generally between three and five years.
Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
237
Property, plant and equipment
Cost
Property, plant and equipment is initially recognized at cost which comprises the purchase price, any costs directly
attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary to be capable of operating in the manner intended by
management, capitalized borrowing costs and any initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and
restoring the site on which it is located. Self-constructed assets are initially recognized at production cost. Subsequent
expenditures and the cost of replacing parts of an asset are capitalized only if they increase the future economic benefits
embodied in that asset. All other expenditures are expensed as incurred. When such replacement costs are capitalized, the
carrying amount of the parts that are replaced is recognized as a loss in the period of replacement in the consolidated income
statement.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Depreciation rates
Industrial buildings
3% - 20%
Plant, machinery and equipment
5% - 22%
Other assets
12% - 25%
Land is not depreciated.
If the asset being depreciated consists of separately identifiable components whose useful lives differ from that of
the other parts making up the asset, depreciation is charged separately for each of its component parts through application of
the ‘component approach’.
Leases
With the adoption of IFRS 16, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the
date at which the leased asset is available for use. Each lease payment is allocated between the principal liability and finance
costs. Finance costs are charged to the income statement over the lease period using the effective interest rate method. The
right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: (i) the amount of the initial measurement of lease
liability; (ii) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received; (iii) any initial
direct costs and, if applicable, (iv) restoration costs. Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value
assets are recognized as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis.
Lease liabilities are measured at the net present value of the following: (i) fixed lease payments, (ii) variable lease
payments that are based on an index or a rate and, if applicable, (iii) amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under
residual value guarantees, and (iv) the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that
option. Lease liabilities do not include any non-lease components that may be included in the related contracts.
Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the
Group’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the Group would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to
obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
Some lease contracts contain variable payment terms that are linked to sales generated from Ferrari stores. Variable
lease payments that depend on sales are recognized in the income statement in the period in which the condition that triggers
those payments occurs.
Extension and termination options are included in a number of leases related to Ferrari stores, warehouses and
machinery and equipment of the Group. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that
Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
238
create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or
periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not
terminated).
Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying
assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, are added to the
cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in net financial expenses if related to the Group’s industrial activities or cost
of sales if related to the Group’s financial services activities in the consolidated income statement, as incurred.
Impairment of assets
The Group continuously monitors its operations to assess whether there is any indication that its intangible assets
(including development costs) and its property, plant and equipment may be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment
annually or more frequently, if there is an indication that an asset may be impaired.
If indications of impairment are present, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount, which
is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for the individual
asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or
groups of assets, in which case the asset is tested as part of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. A
CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows
from other assets or groups of assets. In assessing the value in use of an asset or CGU, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and
the risks specific to the asset or CGU. An impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying
amount.
Where an impairment loss for assets other than goodwill, subsequently no longer exists or has decreased, the
carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the
carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized. The reversal of an impairment loss
is recognized in the consolidated income statement immediately.
Financial instruments
Presentation
Current financial assets include trade receivables, receivables from financing activities, derivative financial
instruments, other current financial assets and cash and cash equivalents.
Investments and other financial assets include investments accounted for using the equity method as well as other
securities and non-current financial assets.
Financial liabilities include debt (which primarily includes bonds, notes, asset-backed financing (securitizations) and
borrowings from banks), trade payables and other financial liabilities, which mainly include derivative financial instruments.
Measurement
Financial assets, other than investments accounted for using the equity method, and financial liabilities are measured
in accordance with IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments.
Except for investments accounted for using the equity method, the Group initially measures financial assets at fair
value plus, in the case of financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs.
Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
239
Equity instruments held by the Group are recognized at fair value through profit or loss. When market prices are not
directly available, the fair value is measured using appropriate valuation techniques (e.g. discounted cash flow analysis based
on market information available at the balance sheet date). As permitted by IFRS 9, equity investments for which there is no
quoted market price in an active market and there is insufficient financial information in order to determine fair value may be
measured at cost as an estimate of fair value.
Trade receivables and receivables from financing activities are originated in the ordinary course of business and held
within a business model with the objective to hold the receivables in order to collect contractual cash flows that meet the
‘solely payments of principal and interest’ criterion under IFRS 9, therefore they are measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest rate method. Receivables with maturities greater than one year are discounted to present value. Assessments
are made regularly as to whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets may be
impaired and, if any such evidence exists, an impairment loss is recognized within financial expenses. Under IFRS 9, a
forward-looking expected credit loss model must be applied when assessing impairment. In making impairment assessments,
the Group applies the standard simplified approach to estimate the lifetime expected credit losses and considers its historical
credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the nature of the Group’s receivables and economic
environment, which may be different for the Group’s trade receivables compared to receivables from financing activities. If
any such evidence exists, an impairment loss is recognized within financial expenses.
The Group considers a default to occur and a significant increase in credit risk to occur when the counterparty fails
to make contractual payments within a certain number of days of when they fall due. For example, for receivables from
financing activities this typically occurs when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 60 days of when the
related receivables fall due, while for trade receivables this is assessed on a case by case basis.
Financial assets and trade receivable are written off when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments and
there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, and in any circumstance no later than 360 days. When trade receivables or
receivables from financing activities have been written off, the Company may continue to engage in enforcement actions to
attempt to recover the receivables.
Financial liabilities, with the exception of derivative financial instruments, are measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest rate method.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are used for economic hedging purposes only in order to reduce financial risks and
in particular, foreign currency risks. Derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting only when at the inception
of the hedge there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship, the hedge is expected to be highly
effective, its effectiveness can be reliably measured and it is highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for
which it is designated.
All derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value.
When derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting, the following accounting treatments apply:
Cash flow hedges — Where a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the exposure to variability
in future cash flows of a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecasted transaction and could affect the
consolidated income statement, the effective portion of any gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument is
recognized directly in other comprehensive income/(loss). The cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from other
comprehensive income/(loss) to the consolidated income statement at the same time as the economic effect arising
from the hedged item affects the consolidated income statement. The gain or loss associated with a hedge or part of
a hedge that has become ineffective is recognized in the consolidated income statement immediately within net
financial income/expenses. When a hedging instrument or hedge relationship is terminated but the hedged
transaction is still expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss realized to the point of termination remains in other
comprehensive income/(loss) and is recognized in the consolidated income statement at the same time as the
underlying transaction occurs. If the hedged transaction is no longer probable, the cumulative unrealized gain or loss
held in other comprehensive income/(loss) is recognized in the consolidated income statement immediately.
The Group does not use fair value hedges or hedges of a net investment.
Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
240
If hedge accounting cannot be applied, the gains or losses from the fair value measurement of derivative financial
instruments are recognized immediately within financial expenses.
Transfers of financial assets
The Group sells certain of its receivables from financing activities under securitization programs. Securitization
transactions involve the sale of a financial receivables portfolio to a special purpose vehicle, which in turn finances the
purchase of such financial receivables by issuing asset-backed securities in the form of notes whose repayment of principal
and interest depends on the cash flows generated by the related financial receivables. The receivables sold as part of
securitization programs are consolidated until collection from the customer as they do not meet the requirements for
derecognition in accordance with IFRS 9.
The Group may also sell certain of its trade receivables through factoring transactions without recourse. The Group
derecognizes the financial assets when, and only when, the contractual rights and risks to the cash flows arising from the
related financial assets are no longer held or the Group has transferred the financial assets. In the case of a transfer of
financial assets, if the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets, it
derecognizes such assets and separately recognizes as assets or liabilities any rights and obligations created or retained in the
transfer. On derecognition of financial assets, the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and the consideration
received or receivable for the transfer of the assets is recognized within cost of sales in the consolidated income statement.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from clients for goods sold or services provided in the ordinary course of
business. Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest rate method, less any provision for allowances.
Inventories
Inventories of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net
realizable value, cost being determined on a first-in first-out (FIFO) basis. The measurement of inventories includes the direct
costs of materials, labor and indirect costs (variable and fixed). Purchase costs include ancillary costs. Prototypes are
recognized at their estimated realizable value, if lower than production cost. Provision is made for obsolete and slow-moving
raw materials, finished goods, spare parts and other supplies based on their expected future use and realizable value. Net
realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the
estimated costs for sale and distribution.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Employee benefits
Defined contribution plans
Costs arising from defined contribution plans are expensed as incurred.
Defined benefit plans
The Group’s net obligations are determined separately for each plan by estimating the present value of future
benefits that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, and deducting the fair value of any plan assets. The
present value of the defined benefit obligation is measured using actuarial techniques and actuarial assumptions that are
unbiased and mutually compatible and attributes benefits to periods in which the obligation to provide post-employment
benefits arise by using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
241
The components of the defined benefit cost are recognized as follows:
the service costs are recognized in the consolidated income statement by function and presented in the relevant
line items (cost of sales, selling, general and administrative costs, research and development costs, etc.);
the net interest on the defined benefit liability is recognized in the consolidated income statement as net
financial income /(expenses), and is determined by multiplying the net liability/(asset) by the discount rate used
to discount obligations taking into account the effect of contributions and benefit payments made during the
year; and
the remeasurement components of the net obligations, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and any
change in the effect of the asset ceiling are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income/(loss).
These remeasurement components are not reclassified in the consolidated income statement in a subsequent
period.
Other long-term employee benefits
The Group’s obligations represent the present value of future benefits that employees have earned in return for their
service during the current and prior periods. Remeasurement components on other long-term employee benefits are
recognized in the consolidated income statement in the period in which they arise.
Share-based compensation
The Group has implemented equity incentive plans that provide for the granting of share-based compensation to the
Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, all other members of the Ferrari Leadership Team and other key employees of the
Group. The Group also provides share-based compensation as part of commercial agreements with certain suppliers. The
share-based compensation arrangements are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 — Share-based Payment, which
requires the Company to recognize share-based compensation expense based on fair value of awards granted. Compensation
expense for the equity-settled awards containing market performance conditions is measured at the grant date fair value of the
award using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected
volatility of the Company’s common stock, the dividend yield, interest rates and a correlation coefficient between the
common stock and the relevant market index. The fair value of the awards which are conditional only on a recipient’s
continued service to the Company is measured using the share price at the grant date adjusted for the present value of future
distributions which employees will not receive during the vesting period.
Share-based compensation expense relating to the equity incentive plans is recognized over the service period within
selling, general and administrative costs or cost of sales in the consolidated income statement depending on the function of
the employee, with an offsetting increase to equity. Share-based compensation expense relating to commercial agreements
with certain suppliers is recognized over the period in which the supplier’s services are received and classified within the
consolidated income statement depending on the function of the supplier’s services, with an offsetting increase to equity.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event,
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
Warranty and recall campaigns provision
All cars are sold with warranty coverage. The warranty coverage generally applies to defects that may become
apparent within a certain period from the purchase of the car.
The warranty provision is recognized at the time of the sale of the car, based on the present value of management’s
estimate of the expected cost to fulfill the obligations over the contractual warranty period. Estimates are principally based on
the Group’s historical claims or costs experience and the cost of parts and services to be incurred in the activities. The costs
related to these provisions are recognized within cost of sales at the time when they are probable and reasonably estimable.
Ferrari N.V.

See “Use of estimates” below for further details.
Deferred income
Deferred income relates to amounts received by the Group under various agreements, which are reliant on the future
performance of a service or other act of the Group. Deferred income is recognized as net revenues when the Group has
fulfilled its obligations under the terms of the various agreements.
Range models (models belonging to the Ferrari product portfolio, excluding special series, Icona, limited edition
hypercars and one-off models) are sold with a scheduled maintenance program to ensure that the cars are maintained to the
highest standards to meet the Group’s strict requirements for performance and safety. Amounts attributable to the
maintenance program are not recognized as income immediately, but are deferred over the maintenance program term. The
amount of the deferred income related to this program, is based on the estimated fair value of the service to be provided.
Advances
Advances relate to amounts received from or billed to customers in advance of having delivered the related cars or
provided the related services.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when control over a product or service is transferred to a customer. Revenue is measured at
the transaction price which is based on the amount of consideration that the Group expects to receive in exchange for
transferring the promised goods or services to the customer and excludes any sales incentives as well as taxes collected from
customers that are remitted to government authorities. The transaction price will include estimates of variable consideration
to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. The Group enters into contracts
that may include both products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate
performance obligations.
The Group generates revenue from the sale of cars, spare parts and engines as well as from sponsorship, commercial
and brand activities. The Group accounts for a contract with a customer when there is a legally enforceable contract between
the Group and the customer, the rights of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability
of the contract consideration is probable. Payments from customers are typically due within 30 and 40 days of invoicing.
The Group does not recognize any assets associated with the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a
customer that are expected to be recovered. The majority of revenue is recognized at a point-in-time or over a period of one
year or less, and the Group applies the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an
expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that would otherwise be recognized is one year or less.
Cars, spare parts and engines
The sales of cars, spare parts and engines have multiple performance obligations that include products, services, or a
combination of products and services as contracts may include maintenance programs and extended warranties that are
separately priced or not separately priced. Contracts may also include variable consideration for discounts such as sales
incentives and performance based bonuses and product returns. The cost of incentives is estimated at the inception of a
contract at the expected amount that will ultimately be paid and is recognized as a reduction to revenue at the time of the sale.
Revenues recognized are limited to the amount of consideration the Group expects to receive. The Group allocates the
transaction price to the performance obligations based on the stand alone selling prices (SSP) for each obligation. When the
SSP does not exist, the Group estimates the SSP based on the adjusted market approach.
Revenues for the sale of cars, spare parts and engines are recognized at a point in time when control of the cars,
spare parts or engines is transferred to the customer based on shipping terms, which generally corresponds to the date when
the cars, spare parts and engines are released to the carrier responsible for transportation to dealers or Maserati. Revenues
relating to the maintenance program are recognized over time based on the input method of measuring progress towards
complete satisfaction of the related performance obligation, calculated as a proportion of overall revenues expected during
the maintenance period equal to the ratio of costs incurred in the reporting period compared to the overall costs to be incurred
Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
243
during the maintenance period. Revenues relating to the extended warranties are recognized on a straight-line basis over the
extended warranty period. Revenues from the supply of engines and related services to other Formula 1 racing teams are
recognized over time on a time and materials basis when the services are provided.
Management has exercised judgment in determining performance obligations, variable consideration, allocation of
transaction price and the timing of revenue recognition.
Sponsorship, commercial and brand activities
Revenues from sponsorship agreements are generally recognized ratably over the contract term as the customer
benefits from the service throughout the service period. For sponsorship agreements that contain variable consideration based
on performance of the racing team, the related revenues are estimated and recognized over the relevant period to the extent
that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur, which
is typically when it is considered highly probable that the related conditions associated with the variable consideration will be
achieved.
Revenues from commercial activities primarily relate to the revenues from participating in the Formula 1 World
Championship. The revenues attributable to each racing team are governed by a specific agreement and depend upon, among
other factors, the prior year ranking of each of the racing teams. Revenues of the commercial activities are recognized ratably
over the contract term.
Revenues from brand licensing agreements where the customer has a right to access the Group’s brands or the
contract includes minimum guaranteed payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Licensing
revenues in excess of the minimum guaranteed payments are recognized when the related conditions are satisfied. Revenues
from sales-based licensing agreements are recognized when the sales occur.
Management has exercised judgment in determining variable consideration.
Other revenues
Interest income generated by our financial service activities from the provision of client and dealer financing is
reported within revenues using the effective interest rate method and not within net financial income/expenses.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales comprises expenses incurred in the manufacturing and distribution of cars and parts, including the
engines rented to other Formula 1 racing teams, of which, cost of materials, components and labor costs are the most
significant portion. The remaining costs principally include depreciation, amortization, insurance and transportation costs.
Cost of sales also includes warranty and product-related costs, which are estimated and recorded at the time of sale of the car.
Expenses which are directly attributable to the financial services companies, including the interest expenses related
to their financing as a whole and provisions for risks and write-downs of assets, are also reported in cost of sales.
Other expenses and other income
Other expenses consist of miscellaneous costs which cannot be allocated to specific functional areas, such as indirect
taxes, accruals for provisions not attributable to cost of sales or selling, general and administrative costs, and other
miscellaneous expenses.
Other income consists of miscellaneous income that is not directly attributable to the sale of goods or services, such
as gains on the disposal of property plant and equipment, the release of certain provisions originally recognized as other
expenses, rental income and other miscellaneous income.

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

Rounding of amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest thousand Euro
unless otherwise stated.
Segment reporting
The Group has determined that it has one operating and one reportable segment based on the information reviewed
by the Board of Directors (the Group’s “Chief Operating Decision Maker” as defined in IFRS 8 — Operating Segments) in
making decisions regarding the allocation of resources and to assess performance.
Use of estimates
The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS which require the use of estimates,
judgments and assumptions that affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities and the amounts of income and expenses recognized. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on
elements that are known when the financial statements are prepared, on historical experience and on any other factors that are
considered to be relevant.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed periodically and continuously by the Group. If the items
subject to estimates do not perform as assumed, then the actual results could differ from the estimates, which would require
adjustment accordingly. The effects of any changes in estimate are recognized in the consolidated income statement in the
period in which the adjustment is made, or prospectively in future periods.
The items requiring estimates for which there is a risk that a material difference may arise in respect of the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities in the future are discussed below.
Recoverability of non-current assets with definite useful lives
Non-current assets with definite useful lives include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Intangible
assets with definite useful lives mainly consist of capitalized development costs.
The Group periodically reviews the carrying amount of non-current assets with definite useful lives when events and
circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. Impairment tests are performed by comparing the carrying amount and
the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”). The recoverable amount is the higher of the CGU’s fair value
less costs of disposal and its value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the CGU.
For the period covered by these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Group has not recognized any impairment
charges for non-current assets with definite useful lives.
Recoverability of goodwill
In accordance with IAS 36 — Impairment of Assets, goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment annually
or more frequently if facts or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.
As the Group is composed of one operating segment, goodwill is tested at the Group level, which represents the
lowest level within the Group at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes in accordance with IAS 36.
The impairment test is performed by comparing the carrying amount (which mainly comprises property, plant and equipment,
goodwill and capitalized development costs) and the recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount of the CGU is
the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
246
For the period covered by these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Group has not recognized any impairment
charges for goodwill.
Development costs
Development costs are capitalized if the conditions under IAS 38 — Intangible Assets have been met. The starting
point for capitalization is based upon the technological and commercial feasibility of the project, which is usually when a
product development project has reached a defined milestone according to the Group’s established product development
model. Feasibility is based on management’s judgment which is formed on the basis of estimated future cash flows.
Capitalization ceases and amortization of capitalized development costs begins on start of production of the relevant project.
The amortization of development costs requires management to estimate the lifecycle of the related model or assets.
Any changes in such assumptions would impact the amortization charge recorded and the carrying amount of capitalized
development costs. The periodic amortization charge is derived after determining the expected lifecycle of the related model
or assets and, if applicable any expected residual value at the end of its life. Increasing an asset’s expected lifecycle or its
residual value would result in a reduced amortization charge in the consolidated income statement.
The useful lives and residual values of the Group’s models are determined by management at the time of
capitalization and reviewed annually for appropriateness and recoverability. The lives are based on historical experience with
similar assets as well as anticipation of future events which may impact their life such as changes in technology. Historically
changes in useful lives and residual values have not resulted in material changes to the Group’s amortization charge or
estimated recoverability of the related assets.
Product warranty liabilities
The Group establishes reserves for product warranties at the time the sale is recognized. The Group issues various
types of product warranties under which the performance of products delivered is generally guaranteed for a certain period or
term, which is generally defined by the legislation in the country where the car is sold. The reserve for product warranties
includes the expected costs of warranty obligations imposed by law or contract, as well as the expected costs for policy
coverage. The estimated future costs of these actions are principally based on assumptions regarding the lifetime warranty
costs of each car line and each model year of that car line, as well as historical claims experience for the Group’s cars. In
addition, the number and magnitude of additional service actions expected to be approved, and policies related to additional
service actions, are taken into consideration. Due to the uncertainty and potential volatility of these estimated factors, changes
in the assumptions used could materially affect the results of operations.
The Group periodically initiates voluntary service actions to address various client satisfaction, safety and emissions
issues related to cars sold. Included in the reserve is the estimated cost of these services and recall actions. The estimated
future costs of these actions are based primarily on historical claims experience for the Group’s cars and the cost of parts and
services to be incurred in the specified activities, and are recognized at the time when they are probable and reasonably
estimable. Estimates of the future costs of these actions are inevitably imprecise due to several uncertainties, including the
number of cars affected by a service or recall action. It is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost of these service and recall
actions may require the Group to make expenditures in excess of (or less than) established reserves over an extended period
of time. The estimate of warranty and additional service obligations is periodically reviewed during the year.
In addition, the Group makes provisions for estimated product liability costs arising from property damage and
personal injuries including wrongful death, and potential exemplary or punitive damages alleged to be the result of product
defects. By nature, these costs can be infrequent, difficult to predict, and have the potential to vary significantly in amount.
Costs associated with these provisions are recorded in the consolidated income statement and any subsequent adjustments are
recorded in the period in which the adjustment is determined.
Share-based compensation
The Group accounts for share-based compensation relating to its equity incentive plans and commercial agreements
with certain suppliers in accordance with IFRS 2 — Share-based Payment, which requires the recognition of share-based
compensation expense based on the fair value of the awards granted. Share-based compensation for equity-settled awards
containing market performance conditions is measured at the grant date of the awards using a Monte Carlo simulation model,
Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
247
which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of our common stock, the dividend yield,
interest rates and the correlation coefficient between our common stock and the relevant market index. The probability that
the Group will achieve a certain level of Total Shareholder Return performance compared to the defined peer group (“Peer
Group”) is also considered. As a result, at the grant date management is required to make key assumptions and estimates
regarding conditions that will occur in the future, which inherently involves uncertainty. Therefore, the amount of share-
based compensation recognized has been affected by the significant assumptions and estimates used.
Other contingent liabilities
The Group makes provisions in connection with pending or threatened disputes or legal proceedings when it is
considered probable that there will be an outflow of funds and when the amount can be reasonably estimated. If an outflow of
funds becomes possible but the amount cannot be estimated, the matter is disclosed in the notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. The Group is the subject of legal and tax proceedings covering a wide range of matters in various jurisdictions.
Due to the uncertainty inherent in such matters, it is difficult to predict the outflow of funds that could result from such
disputes with any certainty. Moreover, the cases and claims against the Group often derive from complex legal issues which
are subject to a differing degree of uncertainty, including the facts and circumstances of each particular case and the manner
in which applicable law is likely to be interpreted and applied to such fact and circumstances, and the jurisdiction and the
different laws involved. The Group monitors the status of pending legal proceedings and consults with experts on legal and
tax matters on a regular basis. It is therefore possible that the provisions for the Group’s legal proceedings and litigation may
vary as the result of future developments in pending matters.
Litigation
Various legal proceedings, claims and governmental investigations are pending against the Group on a wide range of
topics, including car safety, emissions and fuel economy, early warning reporting, dealer, supplier and other contractual
relationships, intellectual property rights and product warranties matters. Some of these proceedings allege defects in specific
component parts or systems (including airbags, seatbelts, brakes, transmissions, engines and fuel systems) in various car
models or allege general design defects relating to car handling and stability, sudden unintended movement or
crashworthiness. These proceedings seek recovery for damage to property, personal injuries or wrongful death and in some
cases could include a claim for exemplary or punitive damages. Adverse decisions in one or more of these proceedings could
require the Group to pay substantial damages, or undertake service actions, recall campaigns or other costly actions.
Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance.
An accrual is established in connection with pending or threatened litigation if a loss is probable and a reliable estimate can
be made. Since these accruals represent estimates, it is reasonably possible that the resolution of some of these matters could
require the Group to make payments in excess of the amounts accrued. It is also reasonably possible that the resolution of
some of the matters for which accruals could not be made may require the Group to make payments in an amount or range of
amounts that could not be reasonably estimated.
The term “reasonably possible” is used herein to mean that the chance of a future transaction or event occurring is
more than remote but less than probable. Although the final resolution of any such matters could have a material effect on the
Group’s operating results for the particular reporting period in which an adjustment of the estimated reserve is recorded, it is
believed that any resulting adjustment would not materially affect the consolidated financial position of the Group.
Current and deferred taxes
The calculation of current and deferred income taxes, including various tax benefits, exemptions or credits (such as
patent box tax benefits, asset revaluations and research and development credits), involves the interpretation of applicable tax
laws and regulations that could be subject to changes or application directives from tax authorities. As a result, the calculation
of current and deferred taxes, including those related to uncertain tax positions, may require complex management estimates
and judgments that are periodically reviewed for any changes in facts and circumstances or changes in tax regulations and
interpretations. Such judgments are primarily related to the recoverability of deferred long-term tax assets, which involves the
assessment of the ability to generate sufficient future taxable profit over the period in which the deductible temporary
differences or unused tax losses are expected to be utilized, as well as to the calculation of certain tax benefits and liabilities.

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

The Italian Group’s entities participate in a group Italian tax consolidation under Ferrari N.V.
Income tax expense amounted to €209,095 thousand, €58,155 thousand and €176,656 thousand for the years ended
December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 benefited from the application of the Patent
Box tax regime, which provides tax benefits for companies that generate income through the use, both direct and indirect, of
intangible assets. Starting in 2020 the Group has applied the Patent Box tax regime for the period from 2020 to 2024, in line
with the tax regulations applicable in Italy, and determined the income eligible for the Patent Box regime with recognition of
the Patent Box tax benefit in three equal annual installments.
The Law Decree (Decree) n. 146 enacted by the Italian authorities, effective from October 22, 2021 and as amended
by the 2022 Italian budget law, introduces a series of urgent economic and tax measures and will replace the current Patent
Box tax regime with a 110% “super tax deduction” for certain costs related to eligible intangible assets. The Decree provides
for a specific transitional procedure between the two regimes. The Decree and related amendments should not have any
impact on income taxes of the Group for the years ended December 31, 2021 and management will continue to follow
updates in the legislation as they become known.
In the fourth quarter of 2020, Ferrari benefited from the measures introduced in Italy by the art. 110 of the Law
Decree n. 104/2020, converted in the Law n. 126/2020, enacting “Urgent measures to support and relaunch the economy”,
which reopened the voluntary step up of tangible and intangible assets, with the application of a substitute tax at a rate of 3
percent. In particular, Ferrari S.p.A. benefited from the one-time partial step-up of its trademark for tax purposes, which
resulted in the recognition in 2020 of deferred tax assets for €83,700 thousand and a substitute tax liability for €9,000
thousand, resulting in a net tax benefit of €74,700 thousand. There was no cash effect in 2020 from the step-up of the
trademark. The deferred tax asset will be utilized over a 50-year period (following the introduction of the 2022 Italian budget
law (Law 234/2021) which provides for an extension from 18 years to 50 years of the amortization period for tax purposes
for any trademarks and goodwill that benefited from the step-up regime) and the substitute tax will be paid in three equal
annual installments starting in 2021.

The increase in the effective tax rate from 8.7 percent in 2020 to 20.1 percent in 2021 was primarily attributable to
the tax benefits from the measures introduced in Italy by the art. 110 of the Law Decree No. 104/2020, converted in the Law
n. 126/2020, enacting Urgent measures to support and relaunch the economy”, which allowed Ferrari a one-time partial
step-up of its trademark for tax purposes resulting in a net tax benefit of €74,700 thousand in 2020 (as further described
above) and to a lesser extent, the effects of deductions for eligible research and development costs. The net benefit from the
step up is included within “permanent and other differences” for 2020 in the tax rate reconciliation above. The Patent Box
benefit relating to 2021, 2020 and 2019 is included within “permanent and other differences” in the tax rate reconciliation
above.
The Italian Regional Income Tax (“IRAP”) is only applicable to Italian entities and is calculated on a measure of
income defined by the Italian Civil Code as the difference between operating revenues and costs, before financial income and
expense, and in particular before the cost of fixed-term employees, credit losses and any interest included in lease payments.
IRAP is calculated using financial information prepared under Italian accounting standards. IRAP is applied on the tax base
at 3.9 percent for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

The decision to recognize deferred tax assets is made for each company in the Group by assessing whether the
conditions exist for the future recoverability of such assets by taking into account the basis of the most recent forecasts from
budgets and business plans.
Deferred taxes on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries have not been recognized, except in cases where it is
probable the distribution will occur in the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of temporary
differences related to remaining distributable earnings of the Group’s subsidiaries where deferred tax liabilities have not been
recognized amounted to €186,806 thousand (€164,803 thousand at December 31, 2020).
11. OTHER INFORMATION BY NATURE
Personnel costs in 2021, 2020 and 2019 amounted to €483,747 thousand, €389,927 thousand and €385,182
thousand, respectively. These amounts include costs that were capitalized in connection with product development activities.
In 2021, 2020 and 2019 the Group had an average number of employees of 4,571, 4,428 and 4,164, respectively.
Depreciation amounted to €230,097 thousand, €217,952 thousand and €191,482 thousand for the years ended
December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and amortization amounted to €225,892 thousand, €208,685 thousand and

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

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

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

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

The loyalty voting structure
The purpose of the loyalty voting structure is to reward ownership of the Company’s common shares and to promote
stability of the Company’s shareholder base by granting long-term shareholders of the Company with special voting shares.
Following the separation of Ferrari from the Stellantis Group (previously referred to as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. or
FCA prior to the merger between FCA and Peugeot S.A. completed on January 16, 2021, which resulted in the creation of
Stellantis N.V.) in 2016, Exor N.V. (“Exor”) and Piero Ferrari participate in the Company’s loyalty voting program and,

therefore, effectively hold two votes for each of the common shares they hold. Investors who purchase common shares may
elect to participate in the loyalty voting program by registering their common shares in the loyalty share register and holding
them for three years. The loyalty voting program will be affected by means of the issue of special voting shares to eligible
holders of common shares. Each special voting share entitles the holder to exercise one vote at the Company’s shareholder
meetings. Only a minimal dividend accrues to the special voting shares allocated to a separate special dividend reserve, and
the special voting shares do not carry any entitlement to any other reserve of the Group. The special voting shares have only
immaterial economic entitlements and, as a result, do not impact the Company’s earnings per share calculation.
Retained earnings and other reserves
Retained earnings and other reserves includes:
a share premium reserve of €5,768,544 thousand at December 31, 2021 (€5,768,544 thousand at December 31,
2020).
a legal reserve of €93 thousand at December 31, 2021 and €19 thousand at December 31, 2020, determined in

a share-based compensation reserve of €28,379 thousand at December 31, 2021 and €43,482 thousand at
December 31, 2020.
Following approval of the annual accounts by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders
on April 15, 2021, a dividend distribution of €0.867 per common share was approved, corresponding to a total distribution of
€160,272 thousand (of which €160,101 thousand was paid in 2021). The distribution was made from the retained earnings
reserve.
Following approval of the annual accounts by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders

21. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Group has several equity incentive plans under which a combination of performance share units (“PSUs”) and
retention restricted share units (“RSUs”), which each represent the right to receive one Ferrari common share, have been
awarded to the Executive Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), members of the Ferrari Leadership Team
(hereinafter also the “FLT”, formerly Senior Management Team, and so renamed as a result of the organizational changes

In the first quarter of 2021, 212,243 PSU awards vested (representing 100 percent of the target PSU awards) as a
result of Ferrari’s third place ranking in Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) within the defined Peer Group for the performance
period from 2016 to 2020, and 31,120 RSU awards vested upon achievement of the related service conditions. As a result,
243,363 common shares, which were previously held in treasury, were assigned to participants of the plan in the first quarter
of 2021. There are no further awards outstanding for the Equity Incentive Plan 2016-2020.
Equity Incentive Plan 2019-2021
Under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019-2021 the Company awarded approximately 174 thousand 2019-2021 PSUs
and approximately 111 thousand 2019-2021 RSUs to the Executive Chairman, the former CEO, members of the FLT and
other key employees of the Group. The PSUs and RSUs cover the three-year performance and service periods from 2019 to
2021.
2019-2021 PSU awards
The vesting of the awards is based on the achievement of defined key performance indicators as follows:
i)TSR Target - 50 percent vest based on the achievement of the TSR ranking of Ferrari compared to an
industry specific Peer Group of eight;
ii)EBITDA Target - 30 percent vest based on the achievement of an EBITDA target determined by comparing
Adjusted EBITDA to the Adjusted EBITDA targets derived from the business plan;
iii)Innovation Target - 20 percent vest based on the achievement of defined objectives for technological
innovation and the development of the new model pipeline over the performance period.
Each target is settled independently of the others targets. The total number of shares assigned upon vesting of the
PSU awards depends on the level of achievement of the targets.
Ferrari ranked third in the TSR ranking within the defined Peer Group for the TSR Target and met the EBITDA
Target and the Innovation Target for the performance period covering 2019, resulting in the vesting of 100 percent of the
target awards. As a result 17,572 awards vested and an equal number of common shares, which were previously held in

Fair values and key assumptions
The fair value of the PSU awards used for accounting purposes was measured at the grant date using a Monte Carlo
Simulation model. The fair value of the RSU awards was measured using the share price at the grant date adjusted for the
present value of future distributions which employees will not receive during the vesting period.
The fair value of the PSUs and RSUs that were awarded under the equity incentive plans, which is determined based
on actuarial calculations that apply certain assumptions and take into consideration the specific characteristics of the awards
granted, is summarized in the following table.

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

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

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

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

€150,091 thousand, including accrued interest of €576 thousand.
The abovementioned bonds and notes impose covenants on Ferrari including: (i) negative pledge clauses which
require that, in case any security interest upon assets of Ferrari is granted in connection with other notes or debt securities
with the consent of Ferrari are, or are intended to be, listed, such security should be equally and ratably extended to the
outstanding notes, subject to certain permitted exceptions; (ii) pari passu clauses, under which the notes rank and will rank
pari passu with all other present and future unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of Ferrari; (iii) events of default for
failure to pay principal or interest or comply with other obligations under the notes with specified cure periods or in the event
of a payment default or acceleration of indebtedness or in the case of certain bankruptcy events; and (iv) other clauses that are
customarily applicable to debt securities of issuers with a similar credit standing. A breach of these covenants may require the
early repayment of the notes. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, Ferrari was in compliance with the covenants of the notes.
Asset-backed financing (Securitizations)
As a means of diversifying its sources of funds, the Group sells certain of its receivables originated by its financial
services activities in the United States through asset-backed financing or securitization programs (the terms asset-backed
financing and securitization programs are used synonymously throughout this document), without transferring the risks

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

typically associated with the related receivables. As a result, the receivables sold through securitization programs are still
consolidated until collection from the customer. During 2021, the following revolving securitization programs were in place:
revolving securitization program for funding of up to $750 million, which was renewed in December 2020 for a
tenor of 24 months and increased up to $800 million in December 2021, by pledging retail financial receivables in
the United States as collateral. The notes bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the aggregate of a synthetic base
rate substantially replicating the LIBOR plus a margin of 75 basis points. At December 31, 2021 total proceeds net
of repayments from the sales of financial receivables under the program amounted to $775 million ($629 million at
December 31, 2020). The securitization agreement requires the maintenance of an interest rate cap.
revolving securitization program for funding of up to $285 million, which was renewed in November 2021 for a
tenor of 24 months, by pledging leasing financial receivables in the United States as collateral. The notes bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the aggregate of LIBOR plus a margin of 65 basis points. At December 31, 2021
total proceeds net of repayments from the sales of financial receivables under the program amounted to $245 million
($244 million at December 31, 2020). The securitization agreement requires the maintenance of an interest rate cap.
the revolving securitization program for funding of up to $110 million by pledging credit lines to Ferrari customers
secured by personal vehicle collections and personal guarantees in the United States as collateral terminated in April
2021. The notes bore interest at a rate per annum equal to the aggregate of LIBOR plus a margin of 115 basis points.
The consolidated total amount of the revolving securitization programs has been progressively increased since
inception as the underlying receivables portfolios have increased.
Cash collected from the settlement of receivables under securitization programs is subject to certain restrictions
regarding its use and is primarily applied to repay principal and interest of the related funding. Such cash amounted to
€47,742 thousand at December 31, 2021 (€36,935 thousand at December 31, 2020).
Lease liabilities
The Group recognizes lease liabilities in relation to right-of-use assets in accordance with IFRS 16 — Leases. At
December 31, 2021 lease liabilities amounted to €56,210 thousand (€62,290 thousand at December 31, 2020).
Borrowings from banks and other financial institutions
Borrowings from banks at December 31, 2021 include (i) an amortized term loan of €63 million borrowed in June
by Ferrari S.p.A. for a tenor of 36 months and bearing fixed interest at 0.118 percent and (ii) financial liabilities of FFS Inc to
support financial services activities, and in particular €61,919 thousand (€28,553 thousand at December 31, 2020) relating to
a U.S. Dollar committed credit facility for up to $100 million, (drawn down for $70 million at December 31, 2021) for a tenor
of 24 months and bearing interest at LIBOR plus 75 basis points.
In April 2020, additional committed credit lines of €350 million were secured with tenors ranging from 18 to 24
months, doubling total committed credit lines available to €700 million. In March 2021 the Group cancelled a credit line of
€100 million and simultaneously replaced it with a new credit line for €150 million with a tenor of 23 months. In April 2021,
the Group replaced an uncommitted credit line of $50 million, which was terminated, with a new committed credit line for
$100 million with a tenor of 24 months bearing interest at LIBOR plus 75 basis points. At December 31, 2021 the line had
been drawn down for $70 million (€62 million), representing the only committed credit line that has been drawn down by the
Group. The new credit line replaces the funding previously provided by one of securitization programs in the US for funding
of up to $110 million that expired in April 2021 and was interest-bearing at LIBOR plus 115 basis points, as noted above.  In
October 2021 an undrawn committed credit line previously negotiated in April 2020 for €100 million expired. At December
31, 2021 the Group had total committed credit lines available and undrawn amounted to €676 million (€700 million at
December 31, 2020).
In December 2019, the Company negotiated a €350 million unsecured committed revolving credit facility (the
“RCF”), which is intended for general corporate and working capital purposes. The RCF has a 5 year-tenor with two further
one-year extension options, exercisable on the first and second anniversary of the signing date on the Company’s request and

the approval of each participating bank. In December 2020 and in December 2021 the first and the second one-year extension
option were exercised by the Company and approved by all participating banks. At December 31, 2021 the RCF was
undrawn.

27. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
IFRS 13 — Fair Value Measurement establishes a three level hierarchy for the inputs to the valuation techniques
used to measure fair value by giving the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
and liabilities (level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 inputs). In some cases, the inputs used to
measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In
those cases, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy at the lowest
level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
Levels used in the hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Group can
access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the assets or
liabilities, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets and liabilities.
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis
The following table shows the fair value hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value
on a recurring basis at December 31, 2021 and 2020:

There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels for the periods presented.
The fair value of current financial assets and other financial liabilities relates to derivative financial instruments and
is measured by taking into consideration market parameters at the balance sheet date, using widely accepted valuation
techniques. In particular, the fair value of foreign currency derivatives (forward contracts, currency swaps and options) and
interest rate caps is determined by taking the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, as applicable, at
the balance sheet date.
The par value of cash and cash equivalents usually approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these
instruments, which consist primarily of current bank accounts.
Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis
For financial instruments represented by short-term receivables and payables, for which the present value of future
cash flows does not differ significantly from carrying value, the Group assumes that carrying value is a reasonable
approximation of the fair value. In particular, the carrying amount of current receivables and other current assets and of trade
payables and other liabilities approximates their fair value.

and financial liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

30. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL RISKS
The Group is exposed to the following financial risks connected with its operations:
financial market risk (principally relating to foreign currency exchange rates and to a lesser extent, interest rates
and commodity prices), as the Group operates internationally in different currencies;
liquidity risk, with particular reference to the availability of funds and access to the credit markets, should the
Group require them, and to financial instruments in general;
credit risk, arising from normal commercial relations with final clients and dealers, as well as the Group’s
financing activities.
These risks could significantly affect the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and for
this reason the Group identifies and monitors these risks, in order to detect potential negative effects in advance and take the
necessary action to mitigate them, primarily through the Group’s operating and financing activities and if required, through
the use of derivative financial instruments.
The following section provides qualitative and quantitative disclosures on the effect that these risks may have upon
the Group. The quantitative data reported in the following section does not have any predictive value. In particular, the
sensitivity analysis on financial market risks does not reflect the complexity of the market or the reaction which may result
from any changes that are assumed to take place.
Financial market risks
Due to the nature of the Group’s business, the Group is exposed to a variety of market risks, including foreign
currency exchange rate risk and to a lesser extent, interest rate risk and commodity price risk.
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk arises from the geographic distribution of the Group’s
shipments, as the Group generally sells its models in the currencies of the various markets in which the Group operates, while
the Group’s industrial activities are all based in Italy, and primarily denominated in Euro.
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from the need to fund certain activities and the necessity to deploy
surplus funds. Changes in market interest rates may have the effect of either increasing or decreasing the Group’s net profit/
(loss), thereby indirectly affecting the costs and returns of financing and investing transactions.
Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
290
The Group has in place various risk management policies, which primarily relate to foreign exchange and
commodity price, interest rate and liquidity risks. The Group’s risk management policies permit derivatives to be used for
managing such risk exposures at risk. Counterparties to these agreements are major financial institutions. Derivative financial
instruments can only be executed for hedging purposes.
In particular, the Group used derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges primarily for the purpose of
limiting the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted transactions denominated in foreign
currencies. Accordingly, as a result of applying risk management policies with respect to foreign currency exchange
exposure, the Group’s results of operations have not been fully exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
However, despite these risk management policies and hedging transactions, sudden adverse movements in foreign currency
exchange rates could have a significant effect on the Group’s earnings and cash flows.
The Group also enters into interest rate caps as required by certain of its securitization agreements.
Information on the fair value of derivative financial instruments held is provided in Note 19.
Information on foreign currency exchange rate risk
The Group is exposed to risks resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which can affect its
earnings and equity. In particular:
Where a Group company incurs costs in a currency different from that of its revenues, any change in foreign
currency exchange rates can affect the operating results of that company. In 2021, the total trade flows exposed
to foreign currency exchange rate risk amounted to the equivalent of 58 percent of the Group’s net revenues (58
percent in 2020 and 53 percent in 2019).
The main foreign currency exchange rate to which the Group is exposed is the Euro/U.S. Dollar for sales in U.S.
Dollar in the United States and other markets where the U.S. Dollar is the reference currency. In 2021, the value
of commercial activities exposed to fluctuations in the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate accounted for
approximately 51 percent (53 percent in 2020 and 53 percent in 2019) of the total currency risk from
commercial activities. In 2021 and 2020, the commercial activities exposed to the Euro/Japanese Yen exchange
rate and to the Euro/Pound Sterling exchange rate exceeded 10 percent (in 2019 the Euro/Japanese Yen and 
Euro/Pound Sterling exceeded 10 percent) of the total currency risk from commercial activities. Other
significant exposures included the exchange rate between the Euro and the following currencies: Chinese
Renminbi, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar and Australian Dollar. None of these exposures, taken individually,
exceeded 10 percent of the Group’s total foreign currency exchange rate exposure for commercial activities in
2021, 2020 and 2019. It is the Group’s policy to use derivative financial instruments (primarily forward
currency contracts and currency options) to hedge up to 90 percent of the principal exposures to foreign
currency exchange risk, typically for a period of up to twelve months.
Several subsidiaries are located in countries that are outside the Eurozone, in particular the United States, the
United Kingdom (branch), Switzerland, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia and Singapore. As the
Group’s reporting currency is the Euro, the income statements of those companies are translated into Euro using
the average exchange rate for the period and, even if revenues and margins are unchanged in local currency,
changes in exchange rates can impact the amount of revenues, costs and profit as translated into Euro.
The amount of assets and liabilities of consolidated companies that report in a currency other than the Euro may
vary from period to period as a result of changes in exchange rates. The effects of these changes are recognized
directly in equity as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss) under gains/(losses) from currency
translation differences.
The Group monitors its principal exposure to translation exchange risk, although the Group did not engage in any
specific hedging activities in relation to translation exchange risk for the periods presented.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on reporting monetary items at rates different
from those at which they were initially recorded during the period or in previous financial statements, are recognized in the
consolidated income statement within the net financial income/(expenses) line item or as cost of sales for charges arising
from financial services companies. The Group uses specific financial derivatives to hedge these exposures.
Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
291
The impact of foreign currency exchange rate differences recorded within financial income/(expenses) for the year
ended December 31, 2021, including the costs of hedging foreign currency exchange rate risk, amounted to net losses of
€11,407 thousand (net losses of €27,029 thousand and €24,237 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively).
All of the Group’s financial services activities are conducted in the functional currencies of the related financial
services companies, therefore the impact of foreign currency exchange rate differences arising from financial services
activities was zero in all periods presented.
Except as noted above, there have been no substantial changes in 2021 in the nature or structure of exposure to
foreign currency exchange rate risks or in the Group’s hedging policies.
The potential decrease in fair value of derivative financial instruments held by the Group at December 31, 2021 to
hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks, which would arise in the case of a hypothetical, immediate and adverse
change of 10 percent in the exchange rates of the major foreign currencies with the Euro, would be approximately €98,165
thousand (€102,674 thousand at December 31, 2020). Receivables, payables and future trade flows for which hedges have
been put in place were not included in the analysis. It is reasonable to assume that changes in foreign currency exchange rates
will produce the opposite effect, of an equal or greater amount, on the underlying transactions that have been hedged. The
sensitivity analysis is based on currency hedging in place at the end of the period, which can vary during the period and
assumes unchanged market conditions other than exchange rates, such as volatility and interest rates. For this reason, it is
purely indicative.
Information on interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, though less significant, arises from the need to fund financial services
activities and the necessity to deploy surplus funds. Changes in market interest rates may have the effect of either increasing
or decreasing the Group’s net profit/(loss), thereby indirectly affecting the costs and returns of financing and investing
transactions.
The Group’s most significant floating rate financial assets at December 31, 2021 were cash and cash equivalents and
certain receivables from financing activities (related to client and dealer financing), while 37 percent of the Group’s gross
debt bears floating rates of interest. At December 31, 2021, a decrease of 10 basis points in interest rates on floating rate
financial assets and debt, with all other variables held constant, would have resulted in a decrease in profit before taxes of
€486 thousand on an annual basis (a decrease of €652 thousand at December 31, 2020). The analysis is based on the
assumption that floating rate financial assets and debt which expire during the projected 12-month period will be renewed or
reinvested in similar instruments, bearing the hypothetical short-term interest rates.
Information on commodity price risk
The Group’s exposure to commodity price risk, though much less significant than foreign exchange rate risk and
interest rate risk, arises from the need to use a variety of raw materials in the Group’s operations, including aluminum and
precious metals such as palladium and rhodium. The Group monitors its exposure to commodity price risk and may hedge a
portion of such exposure through derivative financial instruments (primarily commodity swaps).
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises if the Group is unable to obtain the funds needed to carry out its operations and meet its
obligations. The main determinant of the Group’s liquidity position is the cash generated by or used in operating and
investing activities.
From an operating point of view, the Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring cash flows and keeping an
adequate level of funds readily available. The main funding operations and investments in cash and marketable securities of
the Group are centrally managed or supervised by the treasury department with the aim of ensuring effective and efficient
management of the Group’s liquidity. The Group has established various policies which are managed or supervised centrally
by the treasury department with the purpose of optimizing the management of funds and reducing liquidity risk which
include:
Ferrari N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
292
centralizing liquidity management through the use of cash pooling arrangements
maintaining a conservative level of available liquidity
diversifying sources of funding
obtaining adequate credit lines
monitoring future liquidity requirements on the basis of business planning
Intercompany financing between Group entities is not restricted other than through the application of covenants
requiring that transactions with related parties be conducted at arm’s length terms.
Details on the maturity profile of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities and on the structure of derivative
financial instruments are provided in Notes 19 and 24. Details of the repayment of derivative financial instruments are
provided in Note 19.
To preventively and prudently manage potential liquidity or refinancing risks in the foreseeable future, the Group
has available undrawn committed credit lines of €676 million which amounted to €700 million at December 31, 2020.
The Group believes that its total available liquidity (defined as cash and cash equivalents plus undrawn committed
credit lines), in addition to funds that will be generated from operating activities, will enable Ferrari to satisfy the
requirements of its investing activities and working capital needs fulfill its obligations to repay its debt and ensure an
appropriate level of operating and strategic flexibility. The Group therefore believes there is no significant risk of a lack of
liquidity.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of economic loss arising from the failure to fully collect receivables. Credit risk encompasses
the direct risk of default and the risk of a deterioration of the creditworthiness of the counterparty.
The maximum credit risk to which the Group is theoretically exposed at December 31, 2021 is represented by the
carrying amounts of the financial assets presented in the consolidated statement of financial position sheet and the nominal
value of the guarantees provided.
Dealers and clients are subject to a specific evaluation of their creditworthiness. Additionally, it is Group practice to
obtain financial guarantees against risks associated with credit granted for the purchase of cars and parts. These guarantees
are further strengthened, where possible, by retaining title on cars subject to financing agreements.
Credit positions of material significance are evaluated on an individual basis. Where objective evidence exists that
they are uncollectible, in whole or in part, specific write-downs are recognized. The amount of the write-down is based on an
estimate of the recoverable cash flows, the timing of those cash flows, the cost of recovery and the fair value of any
guarantees received.
Receivables from financing activities amounting to €1,143,968 thousand at December 31, 2021 (€939,607 thousand
at December 31, 2020) are shown net of the allowance for doubtful accounts amounting to €11,204 thousand (€13,195
thousand at December 31, 2020). After considering the allowance for doubtful accounts, €52,733 thousand of receivables
were overdue (€65,554 thousand at December 31, 2020). Therefore, overdue receivables represent a minor portion of
receivables from financing activities.
Receivables from financing activities relate entirely to the financial services portfolio in the United States and such
receivables are generally secured on the titles of cars or other guarantees.
Trade receivables amounting to €185,000 thousand at December 31, 2021 (€184,260 thousand at December 31,
2020) are shown net of the allowance for doubtful accounts amounting to €25,984 thousand (€28,312 thousand at
December 31, 2020). After considering the allowance for doubtful accounts, €47,237 thousand of receivables were overdue
(€46,627 thousand at December 31, 2020).

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
Ferrari N.V. (the “Company” or “Ferrari” and together with its subsidiaries the “Ferrari Group” or the “Group”) was
incorporated as a public limited company (naamloze vennootschap) under the laws of the Netherlands on September 4, 2015.
The Company was formed to ultimately act as a holding company for Ferrari S.p.A., which, together with its subsidiaries, is
focused on the design, engineering, production and sale of luxury performance sports cars.
The Company is listed under the ticker symbol RACE on the New York Stock Exchange and on the Euronext Milan
(previously named Mercato Telematico Azionario).
The Company’s official seat (statutaire zetel) is in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and the Company’s corporate
address is in Maranello, Italy at Via Abetone Inferiore 4. The Company is registered with the Dutch trade register under
number 64060977.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Date of authorization for issuance
The separate financial statements of the Company (the “Company Financial Statements”) as of and for the years
ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were authorized for issuance on February 25, 2022.
Basis of preparation
The Company Financial Statements are prepared on a going concern basis using the historical cost method, modified
as required for the measurement of certain financial instruments.
Statement of compliance
The Company Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted by the European Union (“EU IFRS”) and with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.
Measurement basis
The Company Financial Statements were prepared using the same accounting policies as set out in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2021 (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”), except for the
measurement of the investments as presented under “Investments in subsidiaries” in the Company Financial Statements.
Management considers the primary focus of these Company Financial Statements to be the legal entity perspective
and considers that these Company Financial Statements should reflect the cost of the subsidiaries as well as the amounts that
are eligible for distribution to the Company’s shareholders. Management believes that the measurement of its subsidiaries at
cost, as permitted under EU IFRS, provides the best insight into the Company’s financial position and results, in addition to
the information provided in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The accounting policies were consistently applied to all periods presented with the exception of the new standards
and amendments effective from January 1, 2021 as noted below.
The amounts in the Company Financial Statements are presented in thousands of Euro (€), except where otherwise
indicated.
Format of the Company Financial Statements
The Company presents the income statement by function and uses a current/non-current classification for assets and
liabilities in the statement of financial position.
301
Statement of cash flows
The statement of cash flows is prepared using the indirect method with a breakdown into cash flows from or used in
operating, investing and financing activities. Cash inflows or outflows related to taxes are reported as changes in other
operating assets and liabilities as they are primarily settled through transactions with related parties as a result of the Ferrari
Group Italian tax consolidation. Dividends received are included as part of operating activities.
New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2021
The following new standards, interpretations and amendments were effective on or subsequent to January 1, 2021
and were adopted by the Company for the purpose of the preparation of the Company Financial Statements:
Amendments to IFRS 9 — Financial Instruments, IAS 39 — Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement,
IFRS 7 — Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 4 — Insurance Contracts and IFRS 16 — Leases;
Amendments to IFRS 4 — Insurance Contracts;
Amendments to IFRS 16 for COVID-19-related rent concessions beyond 30 June 2021.
There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments. Further information on these standards is provided in
Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
New standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and endorsed by the
European Union (“EU”) but not yet effective
The standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB that will have mandatory application in 2022 or
subsequent years are listed below:
In May 2017 the IASB issued IFRS 17 — Insurance Contracts, which establishes principles for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts issued as well as guidance relating to reinsurance contracts
held and investment contracts with discretionary participation features issued. In June 2020 the IASB issued amendments to
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.
In May 2020 the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 — Business combinations to update a reference in IFRS 3 to
the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations.
These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2022. The Company does not expect any material impact from the
adoption of these amendments.
In May 2020 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 16 — Property, Plant and Equipment. The amendments prohibit a
company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while
the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company should recognize such sales proceeds and the
related cost in the income statement. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2022. The Company does not
expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In May 2020 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 37 — Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets,
which specify which costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making. These amendments
are effective on or after January 1, 2022. The Company does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these
amendments.
In May 2020 the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018 - 2020 Cycle. The improvements have amended
four standards with effective date January 1, 2022: i) IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting
Standards in relation to allowing a subsidiary to measure cumulative translation differences using amounts reported by its
parent, ii) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments in relation to which fees an entity includes when applying the ‘10 percent’ test for
derecognition of financial liabilities, iii) IAS 41 Agriculture in relation to the exclusion of taxation cash flows when
measuring the fair value of a biological asset, and iv) IFRS 16 Leases in relation to an illustrative example of
302
reimbursement for leasehold improvements. The Company does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these
amendments.
New standards, amendments, clarifications and interpretations issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the
EU
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 rate and liabilities that may be settled by converting to
equity. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Company does not expect any material impact from
the adoption of these amendments.
In February 2021 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 — Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice
Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies which require companies to disclose their material accounting policy
information rather than their significant accounting policies and provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality
to accounting policy disclosures. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Company does not expect
any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In February 2021 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8 — Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates
and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates which clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting
policies from changes in accounting estimates. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Company
does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In May 2021 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 — Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and
Liabilities Arising From a Single Transaction that clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as
leases and decommissioning obligations. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Company does not
expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In December 2021 the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 17 — Insurance Contracts: Initial Application of IFRS
17 and IFRS 9 - Comparative Information, which provides a transition option relating to comparative information about
financial assets presented on initial application of IFRS 17. The amendment is aimed at helping entities to avoid temporary
accounting mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract liabilities, and therefore improve the usefulness of
comparative information for users of financial statements. The amendment is effective on or after January 1, 2023. The
Company does not expect any material impact from the adoption of this amendment.
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost, less impairment (if any). Dividend income from the Company’s
subsidiaries is recognized in the income statement when the right to receive payment is established.
Impairment of investments in subsidiaries
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is an indication that investments in subsidiaries may be
impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount is defined as the higher of the fair value of the investment less costs of disposal and its value in use. Where the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its
recoverable amount. Any resulting impairment is recognized in the income statement. An assessment is made at each
reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may
have decreased. If such an indication exists, the Company makes an estimate of the recoverable amount. A previously
recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s
recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is
increased to its recoverable amount, up to a maximum of the carrying amount that would have been determined if no
impairment loss had been recognized for the asset in prior periods. Such a reversal is recognized in the income statement.
There was no impairment of investments in subsidiaries for the periods presented in these Company Financial Statements.
303
Foreign currency transactions
The financial statements are prepared in Euro, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the
foreign currency exchange rate prevailing at that date. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on
reporting monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the period or in previous
financial statements are recognized in the income statement.
Foreign currency translation
The Company has a branch in the United Kingdom (UK) that operates in Pound Sterling. At each reporting period,
the assets and liabilities within the UK branch are translated to Euro using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date and the
income statement is translated using the average exchange rate for the period. Translation differences resulting from the
application of this method are classified as translation differences within other comprehensive income/(loss) until the disposal
of the branch. The cumulative translation differences at December 31, 2021 amounted to gains of €75 thousand (losses of €47
thousand at December 31, 2020). The principal foreign currency exchange rates used to translate other currencies into Euro
were as follows:
2021

Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is recognized at cost net of accumulated depreciation and, if applicable, impairment.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the useful lives of the assets as follows:
Asset Category
Depreciation Rates
Buildings
10%
Office equipment
20% - 22%
Other assets
20% - 25%
Leases
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset
is available for use. Each lease payment is allocated between the principal liability and finance costs. Finance costs are
charged to the income statement over the lease period using the effective interest rate method. The right-of use asset is
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: (i) the amount of the initial measurement of lease
liability, (ii) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, (iii) any initial
direct costs and, if applicable, (iv) restoration costs. Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value
assets are recognized as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis.
Lease liabilities are measured at the net present value of the following: (i) fixed lease payments, (ii) variable lease
payments that are based on an index or a rate and, if applicable, (iii) amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under
residual value guarantees, and (iv) the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that
option. Lease liabilities do not include any non-lease components that may be included in the related contracts.
304
Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the
Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow the funds
necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive
to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options)
are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due for goods sold or services provided in the ordinary course of business. Trade
receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate
method, less any provision for allowances.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term, highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less. There are no liens, pledges, collateral or restrictions on cash and
cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents do not include amounts in Ferrari Group cash management pools.
Debt
Debt is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables
Trade payables are amounts payable for services, legal and professional fees and other expenses incurred. Trade
payables are all due within one year.
Deferred income
Deferred income relates to amounts received in advance under certain agreements, primarily relating to marketing-
related events hosted for third party dealers, which are reliant on the future performance of a service or other act of the
Company. Deferred income is recognized as net revenues or other income when the Company has fulfilled its obligations
under the terms of the various agreements. Deferred income is recorded on the statement of financial position within “other
liabilities”.
Net revenues
Net revenues relate to the sale of demo vehicles and spare parts to third party dealers as well as revenues generated
for marketing-related events hosted by the Company on behalf of third party dealers, such as new car launches. Revenue is
recognized when control over a product or service is transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured at the transaction price
which is based on the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the promised
goods or services to the customer and excludes any sales incentives as well as taxes collected from customers that are
remitted to government authorities. The transaction price includes estimates of variable consideration to the extent it is
probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. The Company enters into contracts that may include
both products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance
obligations where appropriate. The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when there is a legally enforceable
contract between the Company and the customer, the rights of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial
substance, and collectability of the contract consideration is probable.
Other income
Other income primarily relates to services performed by the Company on behalf of its subsidiaries for certain
corporate services rendered and other recharge fees.
305
Income taxes
Current and deferred taxes are recognized as income tax benefit or income tax expense and are included in the
income statement for the period, except tax arising from a transaction or event which is recognized, in the same or a different
period, either in other comprehensive income/(loss) or directly in equity. Tax uncertainties are accounted for in accordance
with IFRIC 23.
Dividends
Dividends payable by the Company are reported as a change in equity in the period in which they are approved by
the shareholders as applicable under local rules and regulations. Dividend income is recognised in the income statement on
the date that the right to receive payment is established.
Share-based compensation
The Company has implemented equity incentive plans that provide for the granting of share-based compensation to
the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, all other members of the Ferrari Leadership Team and other key employees of the
Group. The Company also provides share-based compensation as part of commercial agreements with certain suppliers. The
share-based compensation arrangements are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 — Share-based Payments, which
requires the Company to recognize share-based compensation based on fair value of awards granted. Share-based
compensation for the equity-settled awards containing market performance conditions is measured at the grant date fair value
of the award using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the
expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, the dividend yield, interest rates and a correlation coefficient between
the common stock and the relevant market index. The fair value of the awards which are conditional only on a recipient’s
continued service to the Company is measured using the share price at the grant date adjusted for the present value of future
distributions which employees will not receive during the vesting period.
Share based compensation is recognized over the service period. Pursuant to an agreement between the Company
and various subsidiaries of the Group, the Company recharges subsidiaries for share-based compensation relating to equity
instruments awarded to employees of the subsidiaries under the equity incentive plans. The Company’s portion of the share-
based compensation for the equity incentive plans is recognized as an expense within selling, general and administrative costs
or cost of sales in the income statement depending on the function of the employee with an offsetting amount recorded as an
increase to equity, whilst share-based compensation recharged to the subsidiaries of the Group is recognized as a financial
receivable (until payment is received) with an offsetting amount recorded as an increase to equity. Share-based compensation
expense relating to commercial agreements with certain suppliers is recognized over the period in which the supplier’s
services are received and classified within the consolidated income statement depending on the function of the supplier’s
services, with an offsetting increase to equity.
Segment reporting
As disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Group has determined that it has one operating and one
reportable segment based on the information reviewed by its Chief Operating Decision Maker in making decisions regarding
the allocation of resources and to assess performance.
Use of estimates
The Company Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with EU IFRS, which requires the use of estimates,
judgments, and assumptions that affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities and the amounts of income and expenses recognized. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on
elements that are known when the financial statements are prepared, on historical experience and on any other factors that are
considered to be relevant. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed periodically and continuously by the
Company. If the items subject to estimates do not perform as assumed, then the actual results could differ from the estimates,
which would require adjustment accordingly. The effects of any changes in estimate are recognized in the income statement
in the period in which the adjustment is made, or prospectively in future periods. The estimates and assumptions that
management considers most critical for the Company Financial Statements relate to investments in subsidiaries and in
particular, relating to impairment indicators. See Note 9 for further details.

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

(1)The percentage of shares held in treasury compared to total issued share capital remains substantially the same if calculated considering only common
shares held in treasury or if calculated considering common shares and special voting shares held in treasury.

(5)Relates to the deregistration of certain special voting shares under the Company’s special voting shares term and conditions.
The loyalty voting structure
The purpose of the loyalty voting structure is to reward ownership of the Company’s common shares and to promote
stability of the Company’s shareholder base by granting long-term shareholders of the Company with special voting shares.
Following the separation of Ferrari from the Stellantis Group (previously referred to as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. or
FCA prior to the merger between FCA and Peugeot S.A. completed on January 16, 2021, which resulted in the creation of
Stellantis N.V.) in 2016, Exor N.V. (“Exor”) and Piero Ferrari participate in the Company’s loyalty voting program and,
therefore, effectively hold two votes for each of the common shares they hold. Investors who purchase common shares may
elect to participate in the loyalty voting program by registering their common shares in the loyalty share register and holding
them for three years. The loyalty voting program will be affected by means of the issue of special voting shares to eligible
holders of common shares. Each special voting share entitles the holder to exercise one vote at the Company’s shareholder
meetings. Only a minimal dividend accrues to the special voting shares allocated to a separate special dividend reserve, and
the special voting shares do not carry any entitlement to any other reserve of the Group. The special voting shares have only
immaterial economic entitlements and, as a result, do not impact the Company’s earnings per share calculation.
Share premium
The share premium reserve amounted to €5,768,544 thousand at both December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Retained earnings
Following approval of the annual accounts by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders
on April 15, 2021, a dividend distribution of €0.867 per common share was approved, corresponding to a total distribution of
313
€160,272 thousand (of which €160,101 thousand was paid in 2021). The distribution was made from the retained earnings
reserve.
Following approval of the annual accounts by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders
on April 16, 2020, a dividend distribution of €1.13 per common share was approved, corresponding to a total distribution of
€208,765 thousand (of which €208,100 thousand was paid in 2020). The distribution was made from the retained earnings
reserve.
Other reserves
Other reserves includes, among others:
a treasury reserve of €847,525 thousand at December 31, 2021 and €616,629 thousand at December 31, 2020.
a share-based compensation reserve of €28,379 thousand at December 31, 2021 and €43,482 thousand at
December 31, 2020.
a legal reserve of €93 thousand at December 31, 2021 and €19 thousand at December 31, 2020, determined in
accordance with Dutch law.
Pursuant to Dutch law, limitations exist relating to the distribution of shareholders’ equity up to at least the total
amount of the legal reserve, as well as other reserves mandated per the Company Articles of Association. At December 31,
2021, the legal and non-distributable reserves of the Company amounted to €93 thousand (€19 thousand at December 31,
2020) and included the following:
The UK Branch operates in the Pound Sterling. At each reporting period end, the assets and liabilities within the UK
branch are translated to Euro and the respective foreign currency translation gain or loss is recorded in other
comprehensive income. At December 31, 2021, the cumulative translation reserve amounted to €87 thousand (€13
thousand at December 31, 2020).
The Company records a statutory non-distributable reserve equal to 1 percent of the nominal value of the special
voting shares. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, this reserve amounted to €6 thousand.

with the consent of Ferrari are, or are intended to be, listed, such security should be equally and ratably extended to the
outstanding notes, subject to certain permitted exceptions; (ii) pari passu clauses, under which the notes rank and will rank
pari passu with all other present and future unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of Ferrari; (iii) events of default for
failure to pay principal or interest or comply with other obligations under the notes with specified cure periods or in the event
of a payment default or acceleration of indebtedness or in the case of certain bankruptcy events; and (iv) other clauses that are
customarily applicable to debt securities of issuers with a similar credit standing. A breach of these covenants may require the
early repayment of the notes. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, Ferrari was in compliance with the covenants of the notes.

During 2021, certain debt agreements with Ferrari S.p.A. were renewed. Net proceeds from financial liabilities
with related parties amounted to €460,000 thousand in 2021 (net repayments of €178,000 thousand in 2020).
At December 31, 2021 a 10 basis point increase in interest rates on the floating rate financial liabilities, with all
other variables held constant, would have resulted in a decrease in profit before tax of €2,140 thousand on an annualized
basis (decrease of €1,680 thousand at December 31, 2020).
The carrying amount of the financial liabilities with related parties approximates fair value. Information on
covenants of the notes, fair value measurement and qualitative and quantitative information on financial risks are provided
in Note 24, Note 27 and Note 30, respectively, to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Further information on the
Group’s liquidity is provided in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this Annual Report. Based on this
information the Company deems the going concern assumption adequate.

months, doubling total committed credit lines available to €700 million. In March 2021 the Company cancelled a credit line
319
of €100 million and simultaneously replaced it with a new credit line for €150 million with a tenor of 23 months. In October
2021 an undrawn committed credit line previously negotiated in April 2020 for €100 million expired. At December 31, 2021
the Company had total committed credit lines available and undrawn amounted to €650 million (€700 million at December
31, 2020).
In December 2019, the Company negotiated a €350 million unsecured committed revolving credit facility (the
“RCF”), which is intended for general corporate and working capital purposes. The RCF has a 5 year-tenor with two further
one-year extension options, exercisable on the first and second anniversary of the signing date on the Company’s request and
the approval of each participating bank. In December 2020 and in December 2021 the first and the second one-year extension
option were exercised by the Company and approved by all participating banks. At December 31, 2021 the RCF was
undrawn.

OTHER INFORMATION
Independent Auditor’s Report
The report of the Company’s independent auditor, Ernst & Young Accountants LLP, the Netherlands, is set forth at
the end of this Annual Report.
Dividends
Dividends will be determined in accordance with article 23 of the Articles of Association of Ferrari N.V. The
relevant provisions of the Articles of Association read as follows:
1.The Company shall maintain a special capital reserve to be credited against the share premium exclusively for the
purpose of facilitating any issuance or cancellation of special voting shares. The special voting shares shall not carry
any entitlement to the balance of the special capital reserve. The Board of Directors shall be authorized to resolve
upon (i) any distribution out of the special capital reserve to pay up special voting shares or (ii) re-allocation of
amounts to credit or debit the special capital reserve against or in favor of the share premium reserve.
2.The Company shall maintain a separate dividend reserve for the special voting shares. The special voting shares
shall not carry any entitlement to any other reserve of the Company. Any distribution out of the special voting rights
dividend reserve or the partial or full release of such reserve will require a prior proposal from the Board of
Directors and a subsequent resolution of the meeting of holders of special voting shares.
3.From the profits, shown in the annual accounts, as adopted, such amounts shall be reserved as the Board of Directors
may determine.
4.The profits remaining thereafter shall first be applied to allocate and add to the special voting shares dividend
reserve an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate nominal value of all outstanding special voting shares.
The calculation of the amount to be allocated and added to the special voting shares dividend reserve shall occur on
a time-proportionate basis. If special voting shares are issued during the financial year to which the allocation and
addition pertains, then the amount to be allocated and added to the special voting shares dividend reserve in respect
of these newly issued special voting shares shall be calculated as from the date on which such special voting shares
were issued until the last day of the financial year concerned. The special voting shares shall not carry any other
entitlement to the profits.
5.Any profits remaining thereafter shall be at the disposal of the general meeting of Shareholders for distribution of
profits on the common shares only, subject to the provision of paragraph 8 of this article.
6.Subject to a prior proposal of the Board of Directors, the general meeting of Shareholders may declare and pay
distribution of profits and other distributions in United States Dollars. Furthermore, subject to the approval of the
general meeting of Shareholders and the Board of Directors having been designated as the body competent to pass a
resolution for the issuance of shares in accordance with Article 6, the Board of Directors may decide that a
distribution shall be made in the form of shares or that Shareholders shall be given the option to receive a
distribution either in cash or in the form of shares.
7.The Company shall only have power to make distributions to Shareholders and other persons entitled to distributable
profits to the extent the Company’s equity exceeds the sum of the paid in and called up part of the share capital and
the reserves that must be maintained pursuant to Dutch law and the Company’s Articles of Association. No
distribution of profits or other distributions may be made to the Company itself for shares that the Company holds in
its own share capital.
8.The distribution of profits shall be made after the adoption of the annual accounts, from which it appears that the
same is permitted.
9.The Board of Directors shall have power to declare one or more interim distributions of profits, provided that the
requirements of paragraph 7 hereof are duly observed as evidenced by an interim statement of assets and liabilities
325
as referred to in Section 2:105 paragraph 4 of the Dutch Civil Code and provided further that the policy of the
Company on additions to reserves and distributions of profits is duly observed. The provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3
hereof shall apply mutatis mutandis.
10.The Board of Directors may determine that distributions are made from the Company’s share premium reserve or
from any other reserve, provided that payments from reserves may only be made to the Shareholders that are entitled
to the relevant reserve upon the dissolution of the Company.
11.Distributions of profits and other distributions shall be made payable in the manner and at such date(s) - within four
(4) weeks after declaration thereof - and notice thereof shall be given, as the general meeting of Shareholders, or in
the case of interim distributions of profits, the Board of Directors shall determine.
12.Distributions of profits and other distributions, which have not been collected within five (5) years and one (1) day
after the same have become payable, shall become the property of the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To: the shareholders and audit committee of Ferrari N.V.

Our opinion
We have audited the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 of Ferrari N.V. (herein referred to as the
company and together with its subsidiaries the group), based in Amsterdam.
In our opinion the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Ferrari N.V. as at
December 31, 2021 and of its result and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (EU-IFRS) and with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.
The financial statements comprise:
the consolidated and company statement of financial position as at December 31, 2021
the following statements for 2021: the consolidated and company income statement and the consolidated and
company statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows

Basis for our opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Dutch law, including the Dutch Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.
We are independent of Ferrari N.V. in accordance with the EU Regulation on specific requirements regarding statutory audit
of public-interest entities, the Wet toezicht accountantsorganisaties (Wta, Audit firms supervision act), the Verordening
inzake de onafhankelijkheid van accountants bij assurance-opdrachten (ViO, Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, a
regulation with respect to independence) and other relevant independence regulations in the Netherlands. Furthermore we
have complied with the Verordening gedrags- en beroepsregels accountants (VGBA, Dutch Code of Ethics).
We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Information in support of our opinion
We designed our audit procedures in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and in forming our
opinion thereon. The following information in support of our opinion and any findings were addressed in this context, and we
do not provide a separate opinion or conclusion on these matters.
Our understanding of the business
Ferrari N.V. is among the world’s leading luxury brands. The activities of Ferrari N.V. comprise of the design, engineering,
production and sale of luxury performance sports cars. The Ferrari group is structured in group entities and we tailored our
group audit approach accordingly. We paid specific attention in our audit to a number of areas driven by the operations of the
group and our risk assessment.
We start by determining materiality and identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error in order to design audit procedures responsive to those risks, and to obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
327
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Materiality
Materiality
€50 million (2020: €33 million)
Benchmark applied
5% of profit before taxes
Explanation
We consider an earnings-based measure, particularly profit before taxes, an appropriate basis for
determining our materiality because the users of the financial statements of profit-oriented entities
like Ferrari tend to focus on the financial performance of the company.
We have also taken into account misstatements and/or possible misstatements that in our opinion are material for the users of
the financial statements for qualitative reasons.
We agreed with the audit committee that misstatements in excess of €2,5 million, which are identified during the audit, would
be reported to them, as well as smaller misstatements that in our view must be reported on qualitative grounds.
Scope of the group audit
As Ferrari N.V. is the parent of a group of entities, the financial information of this group is included in the consolidated
financial statements.
Because we are ultimately responsible for the opinion, we are also responsible for directing, supervising and performing the
group audit. In this respect we have determined the nature and extent of the audit procedures to be carried out for group
entities. Decisive were the size and/or the risk profile of the group entities or operations. On this basis, we selected group
entities for which an audit or review had to be carried out on the complete set of financial information or on specific items.
All group entities were included in the scope of our group audit. We identified Ferrari S.p.A. and
Ferrari North America Inc. as two group entities, which, in our view, required an audit of their complete financial
information. Specific scope audit procedures on certain balances and transactions were performed on four other entities. Risk-
based analytical procedures were performed on the remaining entities.
In establishing the overall approach to the audit, we determined the work to be performed by us, as group auditors, and by
component auditors from Ernst & Young Global member firms and operating under our coordination and supervision. We
have performed the following procedures:
We have had regular virtual team meetings with EY Italy, all component auditors and management and reviewed the
audit work performed on the group consolidation, financial statements and related disclosures, assessed the effect of
COVID-19 and the key audit matter related to Ferrari S.p.A.: warranty and recall campaigns provision. We reviewed
the audit files of the component auditor and determined the sufficiency and appropriateness of the work performed.
Other component auditors included in the group audit scope received detailed instructions, including key risks and
audit focus areas, and we determined the sufficiency and appropriateness of the work performed.
In total these procedures represent 98% of the group’s total assets, 97% of net revenues and 100% of profit before taxes.
328
By performing the procedures mentioned above at components of the group, together with additional procedures at group
level, we have been able to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence about the group’s financial information to
provide an opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
Teaming and use of specialists
We ensured that the audit teams both at group and at component levels included the appropriate skills and competences
which are needed for the audit of a listed client in the automotive industry. We included specialists in the areas of IT audit,
forensics, sustainability, treasury, share based payments and income tax and have made use of our own experts in the areas of
valuations and actuaries.
Our focus on climate risks and the energy transition
Climate objectives will be high on the public agenda in the next decades. Issues such as CO2 reduction impact financial
reporting, as these issues entail risks for the business operation, the valuation of assets ('stranded assets') and provisions or the
sustainability of the business model and access to financial markets of companies with a larger CO2 footprint.
As part of our audit of the financial statements, we evaluated the extent to which climate-related risks and the possible effects
of the energy transition are taken into account in estimates and significant assumptions, as well as in the design of relevant
internal control measures by Ferrari N.V. Furthermore, we read the report of the board of directors and considered whether
there is any material inconsistency between the non-financial information in section Risk Management Process and Internal
Control Systems and, the Non Financial Statement and the financial statements.
Our audit procedures to address the assessed climate-related risks and the possible effects of the energy transition did not
result in a key audit matter.
Our focus on fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations
Our responsibility
Although we are not responsible for preventing fraud or non-compliance and we cannot be expected to detect non-
compliance with all laws and regulations, it is our responsibility to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements,
taken as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error.
Our audit response related to fraud risks
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud. During our audit we
obtained an understanding of the entity and its environment and the components of the system of internal control, including
the risk assessment process and the board of director’s process for responding to the risks of fraud and monitoring the system
of internal control and how the audit committee exercises oversight, as well as the outcomes.
329
We refer to section Risk Management Process and Internal Control Systems of the board of directors report for its (fraud) risk
assessment.
We evaluated the design and relevant aspects of the system of internal control and in particular the fraud risk assessment, as
well as the code of conduct, whistle blower procedures and incident registration. We evaluated the design and the
implementation and, where considered appropriate, tested the operating effectiveness, of internal controls designed to
mitigate fraud risks.
As part of our process of identifying fraud risks, we evaluated fraud risk factors with respect to financial reporting fraud,
misappropriation of assets and bribery and corruption in co-operation with our forensic and legal specialists. We evaluated
whether these factors indicate that a risk of material misstatement due to fraud is present.
We incorporated elements of unpredictability in our audit. We also considered the outcome of our other audit procedures and
evaluated whether any findings were indicative of fraud or non-compliance.
As in all of our audits, we addressed the risks related to management override of controls, however, when identifying and
assessing fraud risks, we rebutted the presumption that there are risks of fraud in revenue recognition. For the risk related to
management override of controls we have performed procedures among others to evaluate key accounting estimates for
management bias that may represent a risk of material misstatement due to fraud, in particular relating to important judgment
areas and significant accounting estimates as disclosed in Note 2 and Note 23 to the financial statements. We have also used
data analysis to identify and address high-risk journal entries.
These risks did however not require significant auditor’s attention in addition to the following fraud risk identified during our
audit.
Risks related to management override of controls
Fraud Risk
In our audit approach we considered that the risks related to management override of controls would
primarily impact the warranty and recall campaigns provision due to the complexity of the process and
assumptions involved in estimating the warranty liabilities for new models (and recall campaign) for which
management does not have sufficient historical data and for which management performs an estimation of
reasonably expected costs based on available data. We considered whether these assumptions in the
determination of the warranty and recall campaigns provision indicate a management bias that may
represent a risk of material misstatement due to fraud and determined this as  key audit matter.
Our audit
approach
We describe the audit procedures responsive to the risk of management override in the description of our
audit approach for the key audit matter ’Warranty and recall campaigns provision’.
We considered available information and made enquiries of relevant executives, directors (including internal audit, legal,
compliance, human resources and regional directors) and the audit committee.
The fraud risk we identified, enquiries and other available information did not lead to specific indications for fraud or
suspected fraud potentially materially impacting the view of the financial statements.
Our audit response related to risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations
We assessed factors related to the risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to
have a material effect on the financial statements from our general industry experience, through discussions with the board of
directors, reading minutes, inspection of internal audit and compliance reports, and performing substantive tests of details of
classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures.
330
We also inspected lawyers’ letters and correspondence with regulatory authorities and remained alert to any indication of
(suspected) non-compliance throughout the audit. Finally we obtained written representations that all known instances of
non-compliance with laws and regulations have been disclosed to us.
Our audit response related to going concern
As disclosed in section ‘Going concern’ in Note 1 to the financial statements, the board of directors made a specific
assessment of the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to continue its operations for at least the next 12
months.
We discussed and evaluated the specific assessment with the board of directors exercising professional judgment and
maintaining professional skepticism.
We considered whether the board of directors’ going concern assessment, based on our knowledge and understanding
obtained through our audit of the financial statements or otherwise, contains all events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures
are inadequate, to modify our opinion.
Based on our procedures performed, we did not identify serious doubts on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern
for the next 12 months.
Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause a company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Our key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements. We have communicated the key audit matter to the audit committee. The key audit matter is not a comprehensive
reflection of all matters discussed.
In comparison with previous year, our key audit matter did not change.
331
Warranty and recall campaigns provision 
Risk
As more fully described in the notes 2 and 23 to the consolidated financial statements, the group
establishes a provision for product warranties at the time a sale is recognized to guarantee the performance
of vehicles from defects that may become apparent within a certain period or term. In addition, the group
periodically initiates recall campaigns to address various client satisfaction, safety and emissions issues
related to cars sold. The provision includes the management’s estimate of the expected cost to fulfill the
obligations over the contractual warranty or campaign period. Such estimate is developed using
assumptions related to expected costs to be incurred based on the group’s historical claims or costs
experience, including the costs of parts and services. As part of our risk assessment we considered the risk
of management override of controls. As at December 31, 2021, the warranty and recall campaigns
provision amounts to €109 million.
Future costs of these actions are subject to numerous uncertainties, including the enactment of new laws
and regulations, the number of vehicles affected by warranty actions or recall campaigns and the nature of
the corrective action that may result in the reassessment of the established provision. The costs related to
this provision are recognized within cost of sales. Auditing the warranty and recall campaign provision was
complex in consideration of the judgment required to develop assumptions around future costs to be
incurred for warranty and recall campaigns, especially for newly launched models or vehicles, and the
complexity of the calculation involved.
Our audit
approach
The procedures performed to address the matter in our audit included, among others, obtaining an
understanding of the warranty and recall campaign provisioning process and evaluating the group’s
accounting policy thereon. We evaluated the design and tested operating effectiveness of internal controls
relevant to this area, specifically related to the management’s assumptions developed to estimate future
costs to be incurred. We evaluated the methodology, including calculation, and assumptions used by the
management in estimating future costs for warranty programs and recall campaigns, and assessed any
changes, or the lack thereof, from the prior year. We tested the completeness and accuracy of the
underlying data and the journal entries recorded by the management. We further completed analytical
procedures over the accrued provision and retrospective analyses comparing the provisions recorded by the
group against actual spending for warranty and recall service costs to evaluate the cost assumptions used
by the management. Lastly, we evaluated the adequacy of the warranty and recall campaign disclosures
included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including significant judgements made by
the management.
Key
observations
We concur with the assessment and recording of the warranty and recall campaigns provision and the
related disclosures as included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Report on other information included in the annual report
The annual report contains other information in addition to the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Based on the following procedures performed, we conclude that the other information:
is consistent with the financial statements and does not contain material misstatements
contains the information as required by Part 9 of Book 2 for the management report and the other information as
required by Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and as required by Sections 2:135b and 2:145 sub section 2 of
the Dutch Civil Code for the remuneration report.
We have read the other information. Based on our knowledge and understanding obtained through our audit of the financial
statements or otherwise, we have considered whether the other information contains material misstatements. By performing
these procedures, we comply with the requirements of Part 9 of Book 2 and Section 2:135b sub-Section 7 of the Dutch Civil
Code and the Dutch Standard 720. The scope of the procedures performed is substantially less than the scope of those
performed in our audit of the financial statements.
332
The board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information, including the management report in
accordance with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and other information required by Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch
Civil Code. The board of directors  is responsible for ensuring that the remuneration report is drawn up and published in
accordance with Sections 2:135b and 2:145 sub section 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements and ESEF
Engagement
We were engaged by the audit committee as auditor of Ferrari N.V. on September 29, 2015, as of the audit for the year 2015
and have operated as statutory auditor ever since that date.
No prohibited non-audit services
We have not provided prohibited non-audit services as referred to in Article 5(1) of the EU Regulation on specific
requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities.
European Single Electronic Reporting Format (ESEF)
Ferrari N.V. has prepared the annual report in ESEF. The requirements for this are set out in the Delegated Regulation (EU)
2019/815 with regard to regulatory technical standards on the specification of a single electronic reporting format
(hereinafter: the RTS on ESEF).
In our opinion, the annual report, prepared in the XHTML format, including the partially marked-up consolidated financial
statements, as included in the reporting package by Ferrari N.V., complies in all material respects with the RTS on ESEF.
The board of directors is responsible for preparing the annual report, including the financial statements, in accordance with
the RTS on ESEF, whereby the board of directors combines the various components into a single reporting package.
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance for our opinion whether the annual report in this reporting package
complies with the RTS on ESEF.
Our procedures, taking into account Alert 43 of the NBA (the Netherlands Institute of Chartered Accountants), included
amongst others:
obtaining an understanding of the company’s financial reporting process, including the preparation of the reporting
package
obtaining the reporting package and performing validations to determine whether the reporting package containing
the Inline XBRL instance document and the XBRL extension taxonomy files, has been prepared in accordance with
the technical specifications as included in the RTS on ESEF
examining the information related to the consolidated financial statements in the reporting package to determine
whether all required mark-ups have been applied and whether these are in accordance with the RTS on ESEF.
Description of responsibilities regarding the financial statements
Responsibilities of board of directors for the financial statements
The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with
EU-IFRS and Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. Furthermore, the board of directors is responsible for such internal
control as it determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
333
As part of the preparation of the financial statements, the board of directors is responsible for assessing the company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. Based on the financial reporting frameworks mentioned, the board of directors should prepare
the financial statements using the going concern basis of accounting unless the board of directors either intends to liquidate
the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The board of directors should disclose events
and circumstances that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the financial
statements.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objective is to plan and perform the audit engagement in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and appropriate
audit evidence for our opinion.
Our audit has been performed with a high, but not absolute, level of assurance, which means we may not detect all material
errors and fraud during our audit.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The
materiality affects the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and the evaluation of the effect of identified
misstatements on our opinion.
We have exercised professional judgment and have maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit, in accordance
with Dutch Standards on Auditing, ethical requirements and independence requirements. The ‘Information in support of our
opinion’ section above includes an informative summary of our responsibilities and the work performed as the basis for our
opinion.
Our audit further included among others:
performing audit procedures responsive to the risks identified, and obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion
obtaining an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
company’s internal control
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the board of directors
evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures
evaluating whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
Communication
We communicate with the audit committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant findings in internal control that we identify during our audit.
In this respect we also submit an additional report to the audit committee in accordance with Article 11 of the EU Regulation
on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities. The information included in this additional
report is consistent with our audit opinion in this auditor’s report.
We provide the audit committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on
our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
334
From the matters communicated with the audit committee, we determine the key audit matters: those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the financial statements. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, not communicating the
matter is in the public interest.
