Ferrari on Thursday backed its outlook for the year after
booking higher earnings in the first quarter thanks to higher
pricing and strong sales in the Americas and China.
The Italian sportscar maker notched up net profit of 297 million
euros ($328.6 million) in the first three months of the year, 24%
higher than the same period last year, on sales that rose 20.5% to
EUR1.43 billion.
Analysts had expected the group to make quarterly revenue of
EUR1.39 billion, according to a poll of estimates compiled by
FactSet ahead of the update.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, meanwhile, rose 27% to EUR537 million.
Profitability was boosted by pricing and by the sales mix, with
more personalization and more high-end cars sold, Ferrari said.
Sales to the Americas, mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan also
boosted the performance, it said.
Looking ahead, Ferrari said it expects to meet its targets for
the year, including revenue increasing to around EUR5.7 billion
from EUR5.1 billion last year, along with an increase in the
operating margin and higher earnings.
The guidance is based on assumptions including higher prices to
offset cost inflation, Ferrari said.
