Ferrari closes the first half with net profits of 100,8 million euros (+10%), revenues of 1.208 million (+11,9%) and 3.664 cars delivered (+7,4%). Trading profit, on the other hand, increased by 13%, to 152,2 million euros, while the net financial position at 30 June was equal to 895 million euros.
“The completely new range that we are able to offer to customers from all over the world allows us to forecast an increase in 2012 compared to last year – commented the president Luca di Montezemolo -. In the coming months we will be heavily involved in the creation of a revolutionary road car and on extra-European circuits in a thrilling and hard-fought Formula 1 World Championship right down to the last race”.
Strong growth in sales in the USA (+17%, 851 cars delivered), which is confirmed as the leading market with 23% of the world share. Record results in the United Kingdom, which rose by 43%, with 393 cars delivered. Germany (+18%) and Switzerland (+17%) increased significantly.
In the Far East, Greater China (China, Hong Kong and Taiwan) continues to grow (+10%) with nearly 400 cars delivered, as does the Middle East which increases by 7% with 190 cars. Against this overall picture, Italy stands out which, due to both the economic situation and the new taxation, recorded 187 cars delivered as of 30 June, 164 fewer than in the first six months of 2011.
