Significant events in 2023

On March 21, 2023, the first Capital Markets Day organized by the Group was held in Milan, where it provided medium-term guidance.

The Group has reached an agreement with Rosetti Marino S.p.A. to acquire the 70,000 square-meters San Vitale Shipyard in Ravenna in order to increase the production capacity by 20%.

On June 27, 2023, the Company’s shares were also listed on the Euronext Milan, managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., and thereby completing the first dual listing between the Euronext Milan and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Significant events after 31 December 2023

In the second half of January 2024, the Company signed an agreement for the acquisition of an additional 30,000 square meters adjacent to the San Vitale Shipyard, bringing the entire new production area in Ravenna to approximately 100,000 square meters to produce the Made-to-measure, Composite and Sail segments of the Ferretti Yachts and Wally brands.

This latest acquisition is equivalent to an investment of approximately €14 million already paid in 2023, and further increases the Group's production capacity by 10%.

In January 2024, at the Düsseldorf boat show, the Group presented Riva El-Iseo, a fusion of evergreen elegance with latest-generation technology and a focus on sustainability. After the presentation of the prototype in September 2022 at the Monaco Yacht Show, followed by successful completion of a cycle of complex technical and reliability tests, the official version of the first Riva model created for the E-Luxury segment is now ready for sale.

On March 1st Ferretti Group announced its withdrawal from the reclamation and industrial conversion of the site of the former Belleli Yard in Taranto’s port area. The Group remains

committed to the strategy of verticalization of key production processes such as the internalization of part of the production of fiberglass hulls and superstructures, to which the Taranto area had been designated, thanks to other opportunities such as the recently purchased area in Ravenna to expand the shipyard and other areas near the Group’s shipyards.

Outlook

The global luxury yacht industry continued to grow solidly throughout 2022 and 2023. Once again, the global luxury yacht industry proved resilient in the face of geopolitical uncertainty, underscoring its stability and strength. Against this backdrop, the Group continued to deliver an outstanding performance, steadily gaining market share and strengthening its strategic position not only in high-value segments, but also in new emerging and high-growth segments. To continue to take advantage of the expected growth trends in the global luxury yacht industry, enhancing its value proposition and strengthening its overall resilience, the Group's future plans are based on the following strategic pillars:

  • Improve and expand its offering and product mix in anticipation of evolving market trends and customer expectations, with the aim of consolidating its market leadership that in 2023 grew further moving from 14.9% in 2022 to 15.8% in 2023 in both the Composite yachts and Made-to-measure yachts segments, focusing on the segments with the highest growth and margin potential.
  • Continue to invest in innovation, technologies, and products with the goal of providing a more environmentally responsible browsing experience through the skillful use of more sustainable materials and processes which reduce the environmental impact of products.
  • Expand its Made-to-measure offering to larger alloy yachts, developing new alloy-hulled super yacht models under the iconic Riva, Wally, Pershing, and Custom Line brands.
  • Expand yacht brokerage, chartering and management services and after-sales and refitting services, expand brand extension and licensing activities, and further expand into the security and patrol market.
  • Continue to invest in the internalization of high value-added activities to support its future growth and product portfolio expansion.

The Group's results are not subject to seasonality, except for the concentration of deliveries in the northern summer season (May-August) and, to a lesser extent, in the southern summer season (November-January), especially for Composite yachts.

(v) the appointment of two directors to supplement the Board of Directors to follow-up of co-optation pursuant to Art. 2386 of the Italian Civil Code and (B) in extraordinary session, the cancellation of treasury shares without reducing the share capital, with the consequent amendment of Art. 6 of the Articles of Association.

The Report on remuneration policy and compensation paid

The Board of Directors examined and approved, subject to the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, the report on the remuneration policy for the 2024 financial year and on the remuneration paid during the financial year 2023 (the “Report on the Remuneration”) prepared pursuant to Art. 123-ter CLFI and Art. 84-quarter of the CONSOB Issuers' Regulation.

Section I of the Remuneration Report (i.e., the remuneration policy of the Company for the financial year 2024) will be subject to the binding vote of the Shareholders' Meeting, that will be convened for April 22, 2024, pursuant to Art. 123-ter(3-bis) and (3-ter) CLFI.

Section II of the Remuneration Report (i.e., the report on compensation paid in the 2023 financial year) will, on the other hand, be subject to the non-binding vote of the Shareholders' Meeting, that will be convened for April 22, 2024, pursuant to Art. 123-ter(6) CLFI.

The Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure Report

The Board of Directors also approved the report on corporate governance and ownership structure for the year 2023, prepared pursuant to Art. 123-bis CLFI.

The proposal for authorisations of the purchase of company shares

Today, the Board of Directors resolved to propose to the Shareholders' Meeting, that will be convened for April 22, 2024, the authorisation to implement a buy-back plan pursuant to the combined provisions of Art. 2357 and 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, as well as Art. 132 CLFI and Art. 144-bis of the Consob Issuers' Regulation and the applicable under Hong Kong law (since Ferretti shares are also listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, as well as on Euronext Milan). As of today, the Company does not hold treasury shares in its portfolio, nor do Ferretti's subsidiaries hold shares in the Company.

The authorization to purchase shares (on both markets, Hong Kong and Euronext Milan) has been requested for the following purposes: (a) supporting liquidity in the market for shares issued by the Company; (b) deploying excess liquid resources;

Authorisation for the purchase, in one or more tranches, of treasury shares is requested with reference to a maximum of 33,848,265 ordinary shares (equal to 10% of the share capital of the Company as of today's date) or to the different number representing a total of 10% of the share capital in the event of resolution and execution of capital increases and/or reductions during the duration of the authorisation and for a maximum period of 12 months, as of any resolution approving the proposal by the Shareholders' Meeting.

The share buybacks will be carried out on regulated markets, in accordance with the operating procedures established in the regulations for the organisation and management of the markets, in compliance with current legislation. The Company will not purchase treasury shares through a takeover bid.

The proposal to the Shareholders' Meeting also provides that the unit fee for the purchase of the shares is established on a case-by-case basis for each transaction, it being understood that the price of purchase of each share is not lower than the official Borsa Italiana price of the share Ferretti of the day prior to the day on which the purchase transaction will be carried out, minus by 10%, and not higher than the official price of the Italian Stock Exchange on the day prior to the day in which the purchase transaction will be carried out, increased by 10% and in any case not exceeding 5% of the average official price of Ferretti shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange of five trading days prior to the day on which the purchase transaction will be made. This criterion does not make it possible to determine, as of today's date, the potential maximum disbursement share buyback programme.

In the same context of the proposed purchase of treasury shares, the Board of Directors also resolved to submit to the Shareholders' Meeting that will be convened for April 22, 2024 the approval of the utilisation of the share premium reserve for the purpose of replenishing the legal reserve in full, allocating to it a portion of the aforementioned share premium reserve. By virtue of reconstituting the legal reserve in full, the Company will therefore be able to use the remaining portion of the share premium reserve for the purpose of purchasing treasury shares.

The Financial Reporting Officer, Marco Zammarchi, declares pursuant to Article 154 bis, paragraph 2, of the Consolidated Law on Finance that the accounting information contained in this press release corresponds to the underlying accounting documents, records and entries.


This document makes use of some alternative performance indicators. The indicators represented are not identified as accounting measures in the context of IFRS and, therefore, should not be considered as alternative measures to those included in the financial statements. The management team considers these indicators are a meaningful metric for assessing the Ferretti Group's operating and financial performance.

The Company defines (i) EBITDA as the profit after tax, plus financial expenses (including the result of operational foreign exchange translation, but excluding foreign exchange losses/gains in connection with financial transactions), depreciation and amortisation, and taxes, less financial income and income tax benefits; (ii) Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA to which special items have been added (including listing expenses, the Management Incentive Plan, non-recurring costs for supply chain support, and other minor non-recurring events); and (iii) unused net income as income excluding income generated from the sale and purchase of used yachts.
