V8 performance was led by the ramp up of the Ferrari Portofino. The V12 performance was mainly led by the 812 Superfast, partially offset by lower sales of LaFerrari Aperta that is finishing its limited series run.

Net revenues for Q3 2018 increased to Euro 838 million, up 0.3% at current currency and up 2.2% at constant currency(1) . Revenues in Cars and spare parts(5) (Euro 616 million, +1.9% at current currency or +3.8% at constant currency(1) ) were supported by higher volumes led by the 812 Superfast, as well as the ramp up of the Ferrari Portofino, together with pricing and deliveries of the strictly limited edition Ferrari J50. Mix was negative due to higher V8 models, as well as lower sales of LaFerrari Aperta that is finishing its limited series run. Engines (6) revenues (Euro 70 million, -19.9% at current and constant currency(1) ) posted a decrease in sales to Maserati due to lower engine volumes. Sponsorship, commercial and brand(7) revenues (Euro 128 million, +3.4% at current currency or +6.5% at constant currency(1) ) were up thanks to higher 2017 championship ranking compared to 2016 as well as stronger revenues from sponsorship, partially offset by lower sales generated by brand related activities.

| 630 | 581 | 8% | 24% | Adjusted EBIT(2) | 203 | 202 | 0.4% | 10% |
Q3 2018 Adjusted EBIT(2) was Euro 203 million, +0.4% at current currency or +9.9% at constant currency(1). This was a result of higher volumes (Euro 23 million) thanks to the 812 Superfast, as well as the ramp up of the Ferrari Portofino. Mix / price was negatively impacted (Euro 12 million) by strong performance from V8 models as well as lower sales of LaFerrari Aperta that is finishing its limited series run. This was partially offset by pricing increases along with deliveries of the strictly limited edition Ferrari J50. Research and development costs / industrial costs slightly decreased (Euro 5 million), mainly due to lower spending in F1 activities. SG&A was lower than prior year (Euro 4 million) mainly due to lower costs related to the 70th anniversary celebrated in 2017. Currency(1) negatively impacted (Euro 19 million) mainly due to USD depreciation versus Euro.
The tax rate in the quarter was significantly reduced as a result of the advance agreement on Patent Box signed on September 11, 2018 with the Italian Revenue Agency. The benefit for the three-year period 2015-2017 was recognized in the quarter for Euro 141 million, of which Euro 139 million from direct and Euro 2 million from indirect use of copyrights, patents, trademarks, designs and know-how.
As a result of the items described above, earnings per share reached Euro 1.52 up 105% vs. prior year. Adjusted earnings per share(2), excluding the abovementioned Patent Box benefit were Euro 0.78 up 5% vs. prior year.
Industrial free cash flow(2) for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was Euro 100 million, driven by strong adjusted EBITDA(2) . This was partially offset by solid capex of Euro 155 million to support broadening and hybridization of our product range.
Q4 2018 industrial free cash flow(2) will benefit from the three-year period 2015-2017 Patent Box.
Net industrial debt(2) at September 30, 2018 – after Euro 30 million of share buyback already accomplished during the first quarter – reached Euro 372 million, (-21.4%) vs. Euro 473 million at December 31, 2017.

3Q 2018 highlights
Capital Markets Day: on September 18, 2018, Management outlined the plans and initiatives to achieve its key financial targets and its financial policy to 2022.
Formula 1: Scuderia Ferrari is working diligently for the 2018 season and the results are: 22 podiums in 19 races, with Sebastian Vettel winning 5 races and Kimi Räikkönen 1 race so far.
488 Pista Spider: The 50th open-top model produced by the Prancing Horse, is the company's highest ever performing Ferrari spider, with a record power-to-weight ratio of 1.92 kg/hp.
It combines the finest race-developed technological solutions with the joy of en plein air driving to deliver an exhilarating experience behind the wheel.
The model's engine, dynamics and aerodynamics are derived from two track cars: the 488 Challenge and the 488 GTE. The latter won the GT class of the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2017, thus giving Ferrari a total of five GT Manufacturers' titles since the championship's inception in 2012. Furthermore, this model has very clearly benefited from the extensive development work done to produce the coupé version, the 488 Pista.
Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2: The Ferrari Monza SP1, together with the Monza SP2, are the forerunners in a new concept, known as 'Icona' (Icon), that taps into a leitmotif of the most evocative cars in the company's history to create a new segment of special limited series cars for clients and collectors. The intention is to use a contemporary aesthetic to reinterpret a timeless style, with technologically advanced components and the highest performance possible through continuous innovation.
