Recent Company History

Key Terms

share buyback program financial
"under the Euro 360 million share buyback program announced on July 31, 2025"
A share buyback program is when a company uses its cash to repurchase its own outstanding shares from the market, reducing the number of shares available to investors. That matters because it can raise the value of remaining shares and signal management's confidence in the business—similar to a bakery buying back unsold loafs to make each remaining loaf represent a larger share of its oven’s output—though buybacks can also affect cash available for other uses.
equity incentive plan financial
"may be used to meet the obligations arising from the Company’s equity incentive plan"
An equity incentive plan is a program that gives employees, executives or directors the right to receive company stock or options to buy stock as part of their pay. Think of it as offering slices of future company profit to motivate people to boost long‑term performance; for investors it matters because it can align employee goals with shareholder value but also increases the number of shares outstanding, which can dilute existing ownership.
non-discretionary buyback agreement financial
"Ferrari has entered into a non-discretionary buyback agreement for up to Euro 200 million"
A non-discretionary buyback agreement is a legally binding promise by a company to repurchase a set amount of its own shares under predefined terms, rather than an optional or ad hoc decision. Think of it like a standing order to buy back stock that will reduce the number of shares outstanding, which can boost per-share metrics and signal support for the share price, but also commits cash and affects the company’s balance sheet and flexibility.
Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 regulatory
"in accordance with the provisions of the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014"
Regulation 596/2014, known as the Market Abuse Regulation, is the European rulebook that bans insider trading and market manipulation and requires timely public disclosure of crucial company information. It matters to investors because it helps keep prices fair and trustworthy—like rules that stop players from cheating in a game—by forcing companies and insiders to be transparent and making unlawful trading easier to detect and punish.
treasury shares financial
"The Company currently holds No. 16,644,606 common shares in treasury"
Treasury shares are a company’s own stock that it has repurchased and keeps on its books instead of canceling or leaving in the hands of outside investors. Think of them like coupons a business puts back in a drawer: they don’t vote or receive dividends while held, but they can be reissued later for employee pay or fundraising. For investors this matters because buybacks change the number of shares that count toward earnings and ownership, can boost per‑share metrics, and use corporate cash that might otherwise go to growth or dividends.

With the purchases described above the Company has completed the Eighth Tranche.

The total consideration for such Eighth Tranche was:

  • Euro 279,999,967.33 for No. 750,046 common shares purchased on the EXM
  • USD 93,077,360.20 (Euro 79,999,605.13 *) for No. 220,265 common shares purchased on the NYSE.

The Company has completed a year ahead of the stated target its multi-year share buyback program of approximately Euro 2 billion announced during the 2022 Capital Markets Day.
From July 1, 2022 until December 15, 2025, the Company has purchased a total of 5,981,331 own common shares on EXM and NYSE, including transactions for Sell to Cover, for a total consideration of Euro 2,002,569,269.82.

As previewed during its 2025 Capital Markets Day, Ferrari also announces that it intends to commence its new multi-year share buyback program of approximately Euro 3.5 billion, expected to be executed by 2030.  The first tranche of that program, for up to Euro 250 million (the “First Tranche”), is expected to start on January 5, 2026 and to end no later than May 15, 2026.

The First Tranche will be funded through the Company’s available cash, and common shares repurchased under the First Tranche may be used to meet the obligations arising from the Company’s equity incentive plan.

The First Tranche has two components.

Firstly, Ferrari has entered into a non-discretionary buyback agreement for up to Euro 200 million to be executed on the EXM market through a primary financial institution (the “Bank”). The Bank will make its trading decisions concerning the timing of the purchases of Ferrari’s common shares independently of and uninfluenced by Ferrari and it will act in compliance with applicable rules and regulations as well as in accordance with the provisions of the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (the “Regulations”). Under this agreement purchases may continue during any closed periods of Ferrari in accordance with the Regulations.

Secondly, Ferrari has entered into an additional mandate with a primary financial institution for up to Euro 50 million to be executed on the NYSE. Pursuant to such mandate Ferrari would provide the financial institution with purchase instructions from time to time in compliance with applicable rules, regulations and legal requirements. The actual timing, number and value of common shares repurchased on the NYSE will depend on a number of factors, including market and general business conditions.

The First Tranche implements the resolution adopted by the Shareholders’ Meeting (held on April 16, 2025) and duly communicated to the market, which authorized the purchase of up to 10% of the Company’s common shares during the eighteen-month period following such Shareholders’ Meeting. The repurchase authority will expire on October 15, 2026, unless extended or renewed before such date.

Details of the repurchase transactions carried out under the First Tranche will be disclosed to the market as required by applicable regulation.

The Company currently holds No. 16,644,606 common shares in treasury, net of shares assigned under the Company’s equity incentive plan, corresponding to 8.58% of the total issued common shares. Including the special voting shares, the Company holds in treasury 9.07% of the total issued share capital.

A comprehensive overview of the transactions carried out under the buyback program, as well as the details of the above transactions, are available on Ferrari’s corporate website under the Buyback Programs section (https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/corporate/buyback-programs).
