_____________________________
(1)Includes net revenues generated from shipments of our cars, any personalization generated on these cars, as well as sales of spare parts.
(2)Includes net revenues earned by our racing teams (mainly in the Formula 1 World Championship and the World Endurance Championship) through sponsorship agreements and our share of the Formula 1 World Championship commercial revenues, as well as net revenues generated through the Ferrari brand, including fashion collections, merchandising, licensing and royalty income.
(3)Primarily relates to financial services activities, management of the Mugello racetrack and other sports-related activities, as well as net revenues generated from the rental of engines to other Formula 1 racing teams and from the sale of engines to Maserati. Starting from 2024, residual net revenues generated from the sale of engines are presented within other net revenues as a result of the expiration of the supply contract with Maserati in December 2023. As a result, net revenues generated from engines of €28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 that were previously presented as “Engines” net revenues have been presented within “Other” net revenues to conform to the current presentation.
Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were €1,644 million, an increase of €100 million or 6.5 percent (an increase of 7.0 percent on a constant currency basis), compared to €1,544 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
The change in net revenues was attributable to the combination of (i) a €70 million increase in cars and spare parts, (ii) a €29 million increase in sponsorship, commercial and brand and (iii) a €1 million increase in other net revenues.
Cars and spare parts
Net revenues generated from cars and spare parts were €1,400 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of €70 million or 5.2 percent, compared to €1,330 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
The increase in net revenues from cars and spare parts was primarily attributable to a richer product and country mix, as well as a higher contribution from personalizations. Foreign currency exchange impact, including hedging transactions, was negative, mainly driven by the depreciation of the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen compared to the Euro.
Total shipments decreased by 76 cars, from 3,459 cars in the third quarter of 2023 to 3,383 cars in the third quarter of 2024. The product portfolio in the quarter included eight internal combustion engine (ICE) models and five hybrid engine models, which represented 45 percent and 55 percent of total shipments, respectively. Shipments during the quarter were driven by the Purosangue, the Roma Spider, and the 296 GTS, as well as by the increase of the SF90 XX Stradale and our first shipments of the SF90 XX Spider. The 812 Competizione A decreased and it was approaching the end of its lifecycle while the 812 Competizione and the Roma were phased out. Shipments of the Daytona SP3 increased year over year in line with our delivery plans.
The €70 million increase in net revenues from cars and spare parts was composed of: (i) a €55 million increase in Americas, (ii) a €38 million increase in EMEA, and (iii) a €9 million increase in APAC, partially offset by (iv) a €32 million decrease in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The mix of net revenues by geography primarily reflects deliberate product and volume allocation in different markets.
Sponsorship, commercial and brand
Net revenues generated from sponsorship, commercial agreements and brand management activities were €174 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of €29 million or 20.4 percent, compared to €145 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily attributable to new sponsorships.

Cost of sales | 827 | | | 50.3 | % | | 779 | | | 50.4 | % | | 48 | | | 6.2 | % |
Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was €827 million, an increase of €48 million or 6.2 percent, compared to €779 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of sales was 50.3 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 50.4 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
The increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to a change in product mix, only partially offset by lower car volumes and the end of the supply of engines to Maserati.
Selling, general and administrative costs

Selling, general and administrative costs | 135 | | | 8.2 | % | | 119 | | | 7.7 | % | | 16 | | | 13.7 | % |
Selling, general and administrative costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were €135 million, an increase of €16 million or 13.7 percent, compared to €119 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. As a
percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative costs were 8.2 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 7.7 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
The increase of €16 million in selling, general and administrative costs mainly reflects continuing initiatives for software, digital infrastructure and organizational development, as well as for marketing and brand.

Research and development costs | 212 | | | 12.9 | % | | 221 | | | 14.3 | % | | (9) | | | (3.8 | %) |
Research and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were €212 million, a decrease of €9 million or 3.8 percent, compared to €221 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. As a percentage of net revenues, research and development costs were 12.9 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 14.3 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
The decrease of €9 million was driven by a decrease in amortization of capitalized development costs of €8 million, mainly driven by the phase-out of certain models.

EBIT margin for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was 28.4 percent compared to 27.4 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
The increase in operating profit (EBIT) was primarily attributable to the combined effects of (i) negative volume impact of €10 million, (ii) €60 million of positive product mix, sustained by the Daytona SP3 and the 499P Modificata, as well as higher contribution from personalizations and positive country mix driven by the Americas, (iii) positive contribution of €9 million from research and development costs, (iv) negative contribution of €16 million from selling, general and administrative costs, (v) positive contribution of €9 million driven by new sponsorships and lower costs due to the Formula 1 in season ranking and (vi) negative foreign currency exchange impact of €8 million (including foreign currency hedging instruments), mainly driven by the depreciation of the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen compared to the Euro.

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was €91 million, a decrease of €3 million, or 2.9 percent, compared to €94 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
The decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to the decrease of the effective tax rate from 22.0 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to 19.5 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Income taxes and the effective tax rate for both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 benefited from the coexistence of two successive Patent Box tax regimes (with a greater effect of the new regime in the current year compared to the previous year), which provide tax benefits for companies using intangible assets.1
1 The Patent Box regime firstly introduced by the Italian Law No. 190/2014 was implemented by the Group from 2020 to 2024, recognizing the tax benefit over three annual installments. The new Patent Box regime regulated by Law Decree No. 146, effective from October 22, 2021, provides for a 110% super tax deduction for costs relating to eligible intangible assets and allows for a transitional period where both regimes coexist.

(1)Includes net revenues generated from shipments of our cars, any personalization generated on these cars, as well as sales of spare parts.
(2)Includes net revenues earned by our racing teams (mainly in the Formula 1 World Championship and the World Endurance Championship) through sponsorship agreements, and our share of the Formula 1 World Championship commercial revenues, as well as net revenues generated through the Ferrari brand, including fashion collections, merchandising, licensing and royalty income.
(3)Primarily relates to financial services activities, management of the Mugello racetrack and other sports-related activities as well as net revenues generated from the rental of engines to other Formula 1 racing teams and from the sale of engines to Maserati. Starting from 2024, residual net revenues generated from the sale of engines are presented within other net revenues as a result of the expiration of the supply contract with Maserati in December 2023. As a result, net revenues generated from engines of €88 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 that were previously presented as “Engines” net revenues have been presented within “Other” net revenues to conform to the current presentation.
Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were €4,941 million, an increase of €494 million or 11.1 percent (an increase of 12.8 percent on a constant currency basis), compared to €4,447 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The increase in net revenues was attributable to (i) a €426 million increase in cars and spare parts, (ii) a €65 million increase in sponsorship, commercial and brand and (iii) a €3 million increase in other net revenues.
Cars and spare parts
Net revenues generated from cars and spare parts were €4,256 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of €426 million or 11.1 percent, compared to €3,830 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The increase in net revenues from cars and spare parts was primarily attributable to a richer product and country mix, as well as a higher contribution from personalizations. Foreign currency exchange impact, including hedging transactions, was negative, mainly driven by the depreciation of the U.S. Dollar, the Japanese Yen and the Chinese Yuan compared to the Euro.
Total shipments of 10,427 cars for nine months ended September 30, 2024, were substantially in line with 10,418 cars for nine months ended September 30, 2023. The product portfolio for nine months ended September 30, 2024 included nine internal combustion engine (ICE) models and six hybrid engine models, which each represented 50 percent of shipments. Shipments were driven by the Purosangue, the Roma Spider and the 296 GTS, as well as our first shipments of the SF90 XX family, while the 812 Competizione A was approaching the end of its lifecycle and the Portofino M, the SF90 Stradale, the 812 GTS, the 812 Competizione and the Roma were phased out. Shipments of the Daytona SP3 increased in line with our delivery plans.
The €426 million increase in net revenues from cars and spare parts was composed of: (i) a €234 million increase in Americas, (ii) a €179 million increase in EMEA, and (iii) a €46 million increase in APAC, partially offset by (iv) a €33 million decrease in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The mix of net revenues by geography primarily reflects deliberate product and volume allocation in different markets.
Sponsorship, commercial and brand
Net revenues generated from sponsorship, commercial agreements and brand management activities were €487 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of €65 million or 15.4 percent, compared to €422 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily attributable to new sponsorships and lifestyle activities.

Cost of sales | 2,465 | | | 49.9 | % | | 2,216 | | | 49.8 | % | | 249 | | | 11.2 | % |
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was €2,465 million, an increase of €249 million or 11.2 percent, compared to €2,216 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of sales was 49.9 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 49.8 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to a change in product mix, only partially offset by lower car volumes and the end of the supply of engines to Maserati.

Operating profit (EBIT) | 1,420 | | 28.7% | | 1,245 | | 28.0% | | 175 | | 14.0% |
Operating profit (EBIT) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was €1,420 million, an increase of €175 million or 14.0 percent, compared to €1,245 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Operating profit (EBIT) margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 28.7 percent compared to 28.0 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The increase in operating profit (EBIT) was primarily attributable to the combined effects of (i) negative volume impact of €8 million, (ii) €305 million of positive product mix, sustained by the Daytona SP3 and the 499P Modificata, as well as higher contribution from personalizations and positive country mix driven by the Americas, (iii) negative contribution of €19 million from research and development costs, (iv) negative contribution of €56 million from selling, general and administrative costs, (v) positive contribution of €19 million driven by new sponsorships and the partial release of previously recognized car environmental provisions in the United States and (vi) negative foreign currency exchange impact of €66 million (including foreign currency hedging instruments), mainly driven by the depreciation of the U.S. Dollar, the Japanese Yen and the Chinese Yuan compared to the Euro.

Income tax expense | 277 | | | 272 | | | 5 | | | 1.7 | % |
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was €277 million, an increase of €5 million, or 1.7 percent, compared to €272 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The increase in income tax expense was primarily attributable to an increase in profit before taxes, partially offset by the decrease of the effective tax rate from 22.0 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to 19.5 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Income taxes and effective tax rate for both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 benefited from the coexistence of two successive Patent Box tax regimes (with a greater effect of the new regime in the current year compared to the previous year), which provide tax benefits for companies using intangible assets.1
1 The Patent Box regime firstly introduced by the Italian Law No. 190/2014 was implemented by the Group from 2020 to 2024, recognizing the tax benefit over three annual installments. The new Patent Box regime regulated by Law Decree No. 146, effective from October 22, 2021, provides for a 110% super tax deduction for costs relating to eligible intangible assets and allows for a transitional period where both regimes coexist.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Overview
We require liquidity in order to fund our operations, meet our obligations, make capital investments and reward our shareholders. Short-term liquidity is required, among others, to purchase raw materials, parts, components and utilities, mainly 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 portfolio renewal and expansion, as well as for research and development activities aimed at continually innovating and improving our cars, including the enrichment of our product portfolio with hybrid and electric technology. We also make investments to enhance manufacturing efficiency, improve capacity, implement sustainability initiatives, ensure environmental and regulatory compliance and carry out maintenance activities, among others. We fund our capital expenditure primarily with cash generated from our operating activities. We also use liquidity to reward our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. At our Capital Markets Day held on June 16, 2022, we announced a new multi-year share repurchase program of approximately €2 billion that is expected to be executed by 2026, as well as an increase in our expected dividend payout ratio from 30 percent to 35 percent of Adjusted Net Profit starting in 2022.
We centrally manage our operating cash management, liquidity and cash flow requirements with the objective of ensuring effective and efficient management of our funds. We believe that our cash generation together with our available liquidity, including committed credit lines granted from primary financial institutions, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements. See the “Net (Debt)/Cash and Net Industrial (Debt)/Cash” 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 arrangements are utilized by us or by our dealers), while we generally pay most suppliers between 60 and 90 days after we receive the raw materials, components or other goods and services. Additionally, we also receive advance payments from our customers, mainly for our Icona, limited edition and Special Series models, as well as certain range models in selected markets. We maintain sufficient inventory of raw materials and components to ensure continuity of our production lines, however delivery of most raw materials and components takes place monthly or more frequently in order to minimize inventories. The manufacture of one of our cars typically takes between 30 and 45 days, depending on the level of automation of the relevant production line, and the car is generally shipped to our dealers three to six days following the completion of production, although in certain regions we may warehouse cars for longer periods of time to ensure prompt deliveries. As a result of the above, including the advances received from customers for certain car models, we tend to receive payment for cars shipped before or around the time we are required to make payments for the raw materials, components or other materials used in the manufacturing of our cars.
Our investments for capital expenditure and research and development are, among other factors, influenced by the timing and number of new models launches. Our development costs, as well as our other investments in capital expenditure, generally peak in periods when we develop a significant number of new models to renew or expand our product portfolio. Our investments in research and development are also influenced by the timing of research costs for our Formula 1 activities, for which expenditure in a normal season is generally higher in the first and last quarters of the year, and also depends on the evolution of the applicable Formula 1 technical regulations, as well as the number and cadence of races during the course of the racing season. We are currently undergoing a period of structurally higher capital spending as we broaden our car architectures, prioritize innovation and advanced technologies, and add hybrid and electric powertrains to our product portfolio. We also continue to make significant capital investments in operating assets and infrastructure projects that are important for our continued growth and development, including for the ongoing construction of a new paint shop, as well as for our new e-building, which was inaugurated in June 2024 and is expected to start production in early 2025. The e-building is based on the concept of technological neutrality and flexibility, and will be used to produce and develop models with internal combustion, hybrid and full electric powertrains, as well as strategic electrical components.
The payment of income taxes also affects our cash flows. We pay the first tax advance payment in the second and/or third quarter of the year, together with the remaining tax balance due for the previous year, and the remaining part of the advance payment in the third and/or fourth quarters. Our income tax expense and tax payments for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 benefited from applying the Patent Box tax regime in Italy.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes the cash flows from/(used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. For additional details of our cash flows, see our interim consolidated statement of cash flows within our Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Interim Report.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 cash and cash equivalents held by the Group increased by €407 million compared to a decrease of €377 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily attributable to the combined effects of:
(i)a decrease in cash flows used in financing activities of €697 million, driven by (i) a decrease in repayments of debt of €556 million, (ii) an increase in proceeds from debt of €308 million, partially offset by (iii) an increase in dividends paid to owners of €111 million and (iv) an increase in share repurchases of €56 million; and
(ii)an increase in cash flows from operating activities of €242 million, primarily driven by (i) an increase in net profit excluding non-cash items of €191 million, (ii) a decrease in cash absorbed from inventories, trade receivables and trade payables of €191 million, (iii) lower net finance costs paid of €28 million, partially offset by (iv) a decrease from other operating assets and liabilities of €105 million and (v) higher income tax paid of €69 million;
partially offset by:
(iii)an increase in cash flows used in investing activities of €160 million, driven by higher investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, reflecting our initiatives for product and infrastructure development.
Operating Activities
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
Our cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were €1,431 million, primarily the result of:

partially offset by:
(ii)€210 million of cash absorbed from inventories, trade receivables and trade payables, primarily attributable to inventories for €111 million driven by production planning and an enriched product mix, trade receivables for €33 million mainly driven by product mix, as well as sponsorship agreements, and lower trade payables for €66 million;
(iii)€106 million related to cash absorbed by receivables from financing activities driven by an increase in the financial services portfolio due to volume growth;
(iv)€52 million of cash absorbed from the change in other operating assets and liabilities;
(v)€15 million of net finance costs paid; and
(vi)€221 million of income taxes paid.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Our cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were €1,189 million, primarily the result of:
(i)profit before taxes of €1,235 million adjusted for €476 million for depreciation and amortization expense, €10 million of net finance costs and net other non-cash expenses of €100 million (primarily including provisions accrued for €46 million and €17 million of share-based compensation expense); and
(ii)€53 million of cash generated from the change in other operating assets and liabilities, primarily driven by advances received for our cars.
These cash inflows were partially offset by:
(iii)€402 million of cash absorbed from the net change in inventories, trade receivables and trade payables, primarily attributable to inventories for €250 million driven by yearly production planning and an enriched product mix, trade receivables for €71 million driven by higher car volumes and racing sponsorship agreements, and a decrease in trade payables for €81 million;
(iv)€89 million related to cash absorbed by receivables from financing activities;
(v)€43 million of net finance costs paid; and

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was €313 million, primarily the result of:
(i)€443 million of dividends paid (of which €5 million was to non-controlling interests);
(ii)€431 million to repurchase common shares under the Company’s share repurchase program (including the Sell-to-Cover practice under the Group’s equity incentive plans);
(iii)€96 million for repayments of borrowings from banks and other financial institutions;
(iv)€51 million for repayments of lease liabilities and other debt; and
(v)€15 million for repayments related to our revolving securitization programs in the United States;
partially offset by:
(vi)€496 million in proceeds from the issuance of a new bond with a principal amount of €500 million due in 2030;
(vii)€120 million in proceeds related to our revolving securitization programs in the United States;
(viii)€75 million in proceeds from bank borrowings; and
(ix)€32 million in proceeds from other debt.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 net cash used in financing activities was €1,010 million, primarily the result of:
(i)€385 million for the full repayment upon maturity of a bond previously issued in 2016 and €191 million for the partial repayment of a bond due in 2025 following a tender offer by the Group;
(ii)€374 million to repurchase common shares under the Company’s share repurchase program (including the Sell to Cover practice under the equity incentive plans);
(iii)€332 million of dividends paid (of which €5 million was to non-controlling interests); and
(iv)€18 million for repayments of lease liabilities and other debt.
These cash outflows were partially offset by:
(v)€198 million in net proceeds from borrowings from banks and other financial institutions; and
(vi)€92 million of proceeds net of repayments related to our revolving securitization programs in the United States.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures are defined as additions to property, plant and equipment (including right-of-use assets recognized in accordance with IFRS 16 — Leases) and intangible assets. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were €787 million and €592 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The following table sets forth a breakdown of capital expenditures by category for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Intangible assets
Our total capital expenditures in intangible assets were €370 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (€342 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023).
The most significant investments in intangible assets relate to externally acquired and internally generated development costs. In particular, we make such investments to support the development of our current and future product offering. The capitalized development costs primarily include materials and personnel costs relating to the engineering, design and development activities focused on content enhancement of existing cars and new models, including to broaden and innovate our product portfolio and our ongoing investments in advanced technologies (including hybrid and electric), as well as the development of key components used in our cars, which are necessary to provide continuing performance upgrades to our customers and which we expect to continue to develop primarily in-house.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 we invested €352 million in externally acquired and internally generated development costs, of which €217 million related to the development of models to be launched in future years and €135 million primarily related to the development of our current product portfolio and components.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 we invested €323 million in externally acquired and internally generated development costs, of which €234 million related to the development of models to be launched in future years and €89 million primarily related to the development of our current product portfolio and components.
Property, plant and equipment
Our total capital expenditures in property, plant and equipment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, were €417 million and €250 million, respectively, of which €75 million and €39 million related to right-of-use, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we made significant investments in infrastructure in line with our growth plans and our focus on the renewal and broadening of our product portfolio and supporting future model launches. In particular, we made investments:
•for our new e-building, which was inaugurated in June 2024 and is expected to start production in early 2025;
•in car and engine production lines (including for models to be launched in future years), as well as in our personalization programs, and
•the new paint shop.
At September 30, 2024, the Group had contractual commitments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment amounting to €306 million (€115 million at December 31, 2023). The increase in contractual commitments reflects the aforementioned period of structurally higher capital spending as we make investments in infrastructure projects, including the new paint shop, as well as broaden our car architectures, prioritize innovation and advanced technologies, and enrich our product portfolio with hybrid and electric powertrains.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We monitor and evaluate our operating and financial performance and financial position using several non-GAAP financial measures including several adjusted measures which present how the underlying business has performed prior to the impact of adjusting items, which may obscure the underlying performance and impair comparability of results between periods. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and relevant information to management and investors regarding our performance and improve the 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. Management also uses these measures for budgeting and business plans, performance monitoring, management remuneration and external reporting purposes.
In particular, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures, which are further described below: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Profit (Adjusted EBIT), Adjusted Net Profit, Adjusted Basic Earnings per Common Share, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share, Net (Debt)/Cash, Net Industrial (Debt)/Cash, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities, as well as a number of financial metrics measured on a constant currency basis.
While similar measures are widely used in the industry in which we operate, the non-GAAP financial measures we use may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies nor are they intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance or financial position as prepared in accordance with IFRS.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as net profit before income tax expense, financial expenses, net, and amortization and depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA as adjusted for certain income and costs, which are significant in nature, expected to occur infrequently, and that management considers not reflective of ongoing operational activities.
The following table sets forth the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to net profit. There were no adjustments impacting EBITDA, therefore Adjusted EBITDA was equal to EBITDA for the periods presented.

Adjusted Basic Earnings per Common Share and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share
Adjusted Basic Earnings per Common Share and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share represent earnings per share, as adjusted for certain income and costs (net of tax effects) which are significant in nature, expected to occur infrequently, and that management considers not reflective of ongoing operational activities.
The following table presents Adjusted Basic Earnings per Common Share and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. There were no adjustments impacting Basic Earnings per Common Share and Diluted Earnings per Common Share, therefore Adjusted Basic Earnings per Common Share and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share were equal to basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share for the periods presented.

_____________________________
(1) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the weighted average number of common shares for diluted earnings per common share was increased to take into consideration the theoretical effect of the potential common shares that would be issued for outstanding share-based awards granted by the Group (assuming 100 percent of the target awards vested).
See Note 13 “Earnings per Share” to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this document, for the calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per common share.
Net (Debt)/Cash and Net Industrial (Debt)/Cash
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)/Cash, together with Net (Debt)/Cash, are the primary measures used by us to analyze our capital structure and financial leverage.
•Net (Debt)/Cash is defined as debt less cash and cash equivalents and is composed of Net Industrial (Debt)/Cash and Net (Debt)/Cash of Financial Services Activities, which are both defined below.
•Net Industrial (Debt)/Cash is defined as debt of our industrial activities less cash and cash equivalents of our industrial activities. Net Industrial (Debt)/Cash represents our Net (Debt)/Cash less our Net (Debt)/Cash of Financial Services Activities (as defined below). Industrial activities include all of the Group’s activities except for those relating to financial services activities, which are further described below.
•Net (Debt)/Cash of Financial Services Activities is defined as debt of our financial services activities less cash and cash equivalents of our financial services activities. The Group’s financial services activities relate to its fully owned subsidiary Ferrari Financial Services Inc., whose primary business is to offer retail client financing for the sale of Ferrari cars in the United States and to manage the related financial receivables portfolio. The Net (Debt)/Cash of Financial Services Activities primarily relates to our asset-backed financing (securitizations) of the receivables generated by our financial services activities in the United States.
The following table sets presents our Net (Debt)/Cash, Net (Debt)/Cash of Financial Services Activities and Net Industrial (Debt)/Cash at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

For additional information relating to our debt, see Note 23 “Debt” to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document.
The Net (Debt)/Cash of Financial Services Activities primarily relates to our asset-backed financing (securitizations) of the receivables generated by our financial services activities in the United States. The latter amounted to €1,531 million at September 30, 2024 and €1,451 million at December 31, 2023. For further details relating to our receivables from financing activities and our asset-backed financing (securitizations), see Note 18 “Current Receivables and Other Current Assets” and Note 23 “Debt” to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to €1,529 million at September 30, 2024 compared to €1,122 million at December 31, 2023.
At September 30, 2024, 88 percent of our cash and cash equivalents were denominated in Euro (80 percent at December 31, 2023). Our cash and cash equivalents denominated in currencies other than the Euro are available mostly to Ferrari S.p.A. and certain subsidiaries which operate in areas other than Europe. Cash held in such countries may be subject to transfer restrictions depending on the jurisdictions in which these subsidiaries operate. In particular, cash held in China (including cash held in foreign currencies), which amounted to €45 million at September 30, 2024 (€81 million at December 31, 2023), 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 €39 million at September 30, 2024 (€32 million at December 31, 2023).
Total available liquidity
Total available liquidity (defined as cash and cash equivalents plus undrawn committed credit lines) at September 30, 2024 was €2,079 million (€1,722 million at December 31, 2023).
The following table summarizes our total available liquidity:

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 and cash flow generation. These measures are not representative of residual cash flows available for discretionary purposes.
•Free Cash Flow is defined as consolidated cash flows from operating activities less investments in property, plant and equipment (excluding right-of-use assets recognized during the period in accordance with IFRS 16 — Leases), intangible assets and joint ventures. Free Cash Flow is composed of Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities and Free Cash Flow from Financial Services Activities, which are both defined below.
•Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities is defined as cash flows from operating activities of our industrial activities less investments in property, plant and equipment (excluding right-of-use assets recognized during the period in accordance with IFRS 16 — Leases), intangible assets and joint ventures of our industrial activities. Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities represents our Free Cash Flow less our Free Cash Flow from Financial Services Activities (as defined below). Industrial activities include all of the Group’s activities except for those relating to financial services activities, which are further described below.
•Free Cash Flow from Financial Services Activities is defined as cash flows from operating activities of our financial services activities less investments in property, plant and equipment (excluding right-of-use assets recognized during the period in accordance with IFRS 16 — Leases), intangible assets and joint ventures of our financial services activities. The Group’s financial services activities relate only to its fully owned subsidiary Ferrari Financial Services Inc., whose primary business is to offer retail client financing for the sale of Ferrari cars in the
United States and to manage the related financial receivables portfolio. Its cash flows from operating activities are mainly driven by the change in its financial receivables portfolio (receivables from financing activities), as well as its operating result during the period.
The following table presents our Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow from Financial Services Activities and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

___________________________
(1)For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, cash flows used in operating activities of financial services activities mainly reflects the outflows derived from the increase in the financial receivables portfolio (receivables from financing activities in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position) of €106.4 million and €88.6 million, respectively.
Free Cash Flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was €719 million, an increase of €83 million compared to €636 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For an explanation of the drivers in Free Cash Flow see “Cash Flows” above.
Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was €804 million compared to €707 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities of €97 million was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in net profit excluding non-cash items of €191 million and (ii) a decrease in cash absorbed from inventories, trade receivables and trade payables of €191 million, partially offset by (iii) an increase in investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of €159 million, reflecting our initiatives for product and infrastructure development and (iv) a decrease from other operating assets and liabilities of €105 million.
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 5 “Other Information” to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Interim Report, for information on the foreign currency exchange rates applied). Although we do not believe that these measures are a substitute for GAAP measures, we do believe that revenues excluding the impact of currency fluctuations and the impacts of hedging provide additional useful information to investors regarding the operating performance on a local currency basis.
Risk Factors
We face a variety of risks and uncertainties in our business. For a description of these risks and uncertainties please see “Risk Factors” in the Group’s Annual Report and Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the AFM and the SEC on February 22, 2024. All such risks factors should be read in conjunction with this Interim Report. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe to be immaterial, may also become important factors that affect us.
Outlook
Even more confidence in the 2024 guidance, based on the following assumptions for the year:
•Positive product and country mix, along with stronger personalizations
•Racing activities, including new sponsorships, impacted by lower Formula 1 ranking in 2023 despite higher number of races in the 2024 calendar
•Lifestyle activities expected to increase top line contribution while investing to accelerate development
•Cost inflation to persist
•Continuous brand investments and higher racing expenses
•Robust Industrial free cash flow generation, partially offset by increased capital expenditures and higher tax payment

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Background
Ferrari is among the world’s leading luxury brands. The activities of Ferrari N.V. (herein referred to as “Ferrari” or the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries the “Group”) and its subsidiaries are focused on the design, engineering, production and sale of luxury performance sports cars. The cars are designed, engineered and produced in Maranello and Modena, Italy and sold in more than 60 markets worldwide through a network of 180 authorized dealers operating 200 points of sale. The Ferrari brand is licensed to a selected number of producers and retailers of luxury and lifestyle goods, with Ferrari branded merchandise also sold through a network of 14 Ferrari-owned directly operated stores and 2 franchised stores, as well as on Ferrari’s website. To facilitate the sale of new and pre-owned cars, the Group provides various forms of financing to clients and dealers, including directly or through cooperation or other agreements with financial institutions. Ferrari also participates in the Formula 1 World Championship through its team Scuderia Ferrari and the World Endurance Championship through its Ferrari Endurance Teams. Ferrari’s racing activities are a core element of Ferrari marketing and promotional activities, as well as an important source of innovation to support the technological advancement of Ferrari’s product portfolio.
2. AUTHORIZATION OF INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
These Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Ferrari N.V. were authorized for issuance on November 5, 2024, and have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 — Interim Financial Reporting. The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”), which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and IFRS as endorsed by the European Union. There is no effect on these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements resulting from differences between IFRS as issued by the IASB and IFRS as endorsed by the European Union. The designation IFRS also includes International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) as well as the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC” and “SIC”). The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those used at December 31, 2023, except as described in the section “New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2024”.
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION FOR INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities as well as disclosures of contingent liabilities. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management’s best judgment at the date of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the period in which the circumstances change. Reference should be made to the section “Use of estimates and judgments” in the Note 2 “Material accounting policies” of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of the more significant valuation procedures used by the Group.
Moreover, in accordance with IAS 34, certain valuation procedures, in particular those of a more complex nature regarding matters such as impairment of non-current assets, are only carried out in full during the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, when all the related information necessary is available, other than in the event that there are indications of impairment, in which case an immediate assessment is required. Similarly, the actuarial valuations that are required for the determination of employee benefit provisions are also usually carried out during the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, except in the event of significant market fluctuations, or significant plan amendments, curtailments, or settlements.
New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2024
The following new standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2024 were adopted by the Group.
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. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.
In September 2022 the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 — Leases: Liability in a Sale and Leaseback to improve the requirements for sale and leaseback transactions, which specify the measurement of the liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.
In October 2022 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 — Presentation of Financial Statements: Non-current Liabilities with Covenants, that clarify how conditions with which an entity must comply within twelve months after the reporting period affect the classification of a liability. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.
In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 — Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 — Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements, that introduce new disclosure requirements to enhance the transparency and usefulness of the information provided by entities about supplier finance arrangements and are intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.
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 2025 or subsequent years are listed below:
In August 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21 — The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability, to clarify how an entity has to apply a consistent approach to assessing whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency and, when it is not, to determine the exchange rate to use and the disclosures to provide. The amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2025. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 — Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which introduces new concepts relating to: (i) the structure of the statement of profit or loss, (ii) required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity’s financial statements (management-defined performance measures), and (iii) enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general. The standard is effective on or after January 1, 2027. The Group is evaluating the potential impact from the adoption of this standard.
In May 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 19 — Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures, which permits eligible subsidiaries to use IFRS accounting standards with reduced disclosures better suited to the needs of the users of their financial statements, as well as to keep only one set of accounting records to meet the needs of both their parent company and the users of their financial statements. The standard is effective on or after January 1, 2027 and earlier application is permitted. The Group is evaluating the potential impact from the adoption of this standard.
In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments which amended IFRS 9 — Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 — Financial Instruments: Disclosures, with the aim of addressing diversity in practice by making the requirements more understandable and consistent. The amendments: (a) clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of certain financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for certain financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system to be derecognized before the settlement date if certain criteria are met; (b) clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion; (c) add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as certain instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance (ESG) targets); and (d)
update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2026 and earlier application is permitted. The Group is evaluating the potential impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In June 2024, the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards — Volume 11 which contains amendments to five standards as result of the IASB’s annual improvements project. The IASB uses the annual improvements process to make necessary, but non-urgent, amendments to IFRSs that will not be included as part of another major project. The amended standards are: IFRS 1 — First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 7 —Financial Instruments: Disclosures and its accompanying Guidance on implementing IFRS 7; IFRS 9 — Financial Instruments; IFRS 10 — Consolidated Financial Statements; and IAS 7 — Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2026 and earlier application is permitted. The Group is evaluating the potential impact from the adoption of these amendments.
Scope of consolidation
There were no changes in the scope of consolidation for the periods presented in these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
4. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS
The Group is exposed to various operational financial risks, including financial market risk (relating mainly to foreign currency exchange rates and, to a lesser extent, interest rates and commodity prices), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and disclosures on financial risk management required in the annual consolidated financial statements. For a detailed description of the financial risk factors and financial risk management of the Group, reference should be made to Note 30 “Qualitative and Quantitative Information on Financial Risks” of the Consolidated Financial Statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

21. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Equity incentive plans
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”), other members of the Ferrari Leadership Team (“FLT”) and other employees of the Group. See Note 21 “Share-Based Compensation” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details relating to the Group’s equity incentive plans.
Equity Incentive Plan 2021-2023
In the first quarter of 2024, 41,338 2021-2023 PSU awards vested (representing 122 percent of the target PSU awards) as a result of the achievement of the related performance conditions and 29,550 2021-2023 RSU awards vested upon achievement of the related service conditions As a result, 70,888 common shares, which were previously held in treasury, were assigned to participants of the plan in the first quarter of 2024. There are no further awards outstanding for the Equity Incentive Plan 2021-2023.
Equity Incentive Plan 2022-2024
The 2022-2024 PSU awards and 2022-2024 RSU awards under the Equity Incentive Plan 2022-2024 vest in 2025 based on the level of achievement of the related performance targets or service conditions.
Equity Incentive Plan 2023-2025
The PSU 2023-2025 awards and 2023-2025 RSU awards under the Equity Incentive Plan 2023-2025 vest in 2026 based on the level of achievement of the related performance targets or service conditions.
Equity Incentive Plan 2024-2026
Under a new Equity Incentive Plan 2024-2026 approved in 2024, the Company awarded approximately 40,885 2024-2026 PSUs to the Executive Chairman, CEO, members of the FLT and other employees of the Group, and approximately 15,401 2024-2026 RSUs to members of the FLT and other employees of the Group. The 2024-2026 PSUs and 2024-2026 RSUs cover the three-year performance and service periods from 2024 to 2026.
2024-2026 PSU awards
The vesting of the awards is based on the achievement of defined key performance indicators as follows:
(i)TSR Target - 40 percent of the 2024-2026 PSUs vest based on the Company’s TSR performance over the relevant performance period compared to an industry-specific peer group as summarized below:
| | | | | |
Ferrari TSR Ranking | % of Target Awards that Vest |
1 | 175% |
2 | 150% |
3 | 125% |
4 | 100% |
5 | 75% |
6 | 50% |
>6 | 0% |
The defined peer group (including the Company) for the TSR Target is presented below:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Ferrari | Aston Martin | Burberry | Estee Lauder |
Hermes | Kering | LVMH | Mercedes Benz Group AG |
Moncler | Prada | Richemont | |
(ii)EBITDA Target - 40 percent of the 2024-2026 PSUs vest based on the achievement of an EBITDA target determined by comparing Adjusted EBITDA to the Adjusted EBITDA targets derived from the Group’s business plan, as summarized below:
| | | | | |
Actual Adjusted EBITDA Compared to Business Plan | % of Awards that Vest |
+15% | 175% |
+10% | 150% |
+5% | 125% |
Business Plan Target | 100% |
-5% | 75% |
<-5% | 0% |
(iii)ESG Target - 20 percent of the 2024-2026 PSUs vest based on the achievement of defined objectives relating to environmental and social factors. In particular, 50 percent of the ESG Target is based on the reduction of CO2 carbon emissions and 50 percent is based on the maintenance of the equal salary certification.
Each target is settled independently of the other targets. The awards vest in 2027 and the total number of shares assigned upon vesting depends on the level of achievement of the targets.
2024-2026 RSU awards
The awards vest in 2027, subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company at the time of vesting.
Supplemental information relating to the Equity Incentive Plan 2024-2026 is summarized below.
Fair value and key assumptions
The fair value of the PSUs and RSUs that were awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan 2024-2026, 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: | | | | | |
Equity Incentive Plan 2024-2026 |
PSUs | €386.05 |
RSUs | €383.40 |
The fair value of the 2024-2026 PSU awards was measured at the grant date using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The fair value of the 2024-2026 RSU awards was measured using the share price at the grant date adjusted for the present value of future distributions which the recipients will not receive during the vesting period.
The key assumptions utilized to calculate the grant-date fair values of the PSUs that were awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan 2024-2026 are summarized below:
| | | | | |
Equity Incentive Plan 2024-2026 |
Grant date share price | €390.50 |
Expected volatility | 26.34% |
Dividend yield | 0.61% |
Risk-free rate | 3.00% |
The expected volatility was based on the observed volatility of the defined peer group. The risk-free rate was based on the iBoxx sovereign Eurozone yield.
Broad-based employee share ownership plan
In November 2023 the Company announced that it would launch a broad-based employee share ownership plan under which each employee will be given the option to become a shareholder of the Company, receiving a one-off grant of shares worth up to a maximum of approximately €2 thousand. If the employee holds the shares for at least 36 months, the Company will grant them an additional tranche of shares, from a minimum of one share and up to 15 percent of the value of the first allocation. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized €10,222 thousand as share-based compensation expense and an increase to other reserves within equity in relation to the shares awarded under the broad-based employee share ownership plan. In April 2024, 23,375 share awards vested, following which 1,445 share awards remain outstanding and will vest in 2024.
Other share-based compensation
During 2022, the Company awarded 15,271 share awards, which each represent the right to receive one Ferrari common share, to certain employees, of which 6,643 share awards vested immediately at the grant date. In 2023 6,838 share awards vested and 1,309 share awards were forfeited. The fair value of the awards was equal to €203 per award, measured using the share price at the grant date adjusted for the present value of future distributions which the recipients will not receive during the vesting period.
The Company also provides share-based payments for services received as part of commercial agreements with certain suppliers.

A breach of these covenants may require the early repayment of the notes. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Ferrari was in compliance with the covenants of the bonds and 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 typically associated with the related receivables. As a result, the receivables sold through securitization programs are still consolidated until collection from the customer. The securitization agreements for both programs require the maintenance of an interest rate cap.
The following table presents information relating to the revolving securitization programs:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

An analysis of other liabilities is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| At September 30, 2024 | | At December 31, 2023 |
| (€ thousand) |
Advances and security deposits | 474,202 | | | 516,096 | |
Deferred revenue | 409,012 | | | 295,683 | |
Accrued expenses | 89,253 | | | 100,305 | |
Payables to personnel | 57,134 | | | 44,880 | |

Deferred revenue primarily includes amounts received under maintenance and power warranty programs of €287,562 thousand at September 30, 2024 and €262,644 thousand at December 31, 2023, which are deferred and recognized as net revenues over the length of the related program. Deferred revenue also includes amounts collected under various other agreements, which are dependent upon the future performance of a service or other act of the Group, and which are generally
recognized in net revenues within the following year. The increase in deferred revenue primarily relates to advances received for Formula 1 sponsorship agreements.
Advances and security deposits include advances received from customers for the purchase of Ferrari cars, mainly for Icona, limited edition and Special Series models as well as certain range models in selected markets. The advances are recognized in net revenues when the cars are shipped.
25. TRADE PAYABLES
Trade payables of €859,235 thousand at September 30, 2024 (€930,560 thousand at December 31, 2023) are entirely due within one year. The carrying amount of trade payables is considered to be equivalent to their fair value.
26. 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 September 30, 2024 and at December 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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 reporting date.
The par value of cash and cash equivalents usually approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments, which consist primarily of current bank accounts.
Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis
For financial instruments represented by short-term receivables and payables, for which the present value of future cash flows does not differ significantly from carrying value, the Group assumes that carrying value is a reasonable approximation of the fair value. In particular, the carrying amount of current receivables and other current assets and of trade payables and other liabilities approximates their fair value.
The following table presents the carrying amount and the fair value for the most relevant categories of financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
