# Ferrari N.V.

## Business Model

Three pillars: Cars (92% of revenue, ~13,000 units/year), spare parts & merchandise (5%), sponsor/engineering (3%). Key to the model: Ferrari deliberately produces fewer cars than demand supports. Waitlists for popular models (296 GTB, Roma) are 12-24 months. This artificial scarcity drives pricing power and resale value.

## Moat Analysis

Brand mystique is the ultimate moat — Ferrari is the only car brand where owners are often forbidden from reselling within a year (anti-flipping rules). F1 heritage creates unmatched racing DNA narrative. The allocation/dealer network is tightly controlled. Limited production means no economies of scale pressure — Ferrari can focus on margin over volume.

## Key Data

FY2023 revenue: €5.5B. Operating margin: ~27% (highest in automotive). Net income: ~€1.1B. Units delivered: 13,679 (2023). Americas: 35% of revenue, EMEA: 34%, APAC: 18%. ~5,500 employees. Market cap: ~$75B.

## Fun Facts

- The prancing horse logo was originally used by WWI Italian fighter pilot Francesco Baracca — his mother suggested Enzo Ferrari use it for good luck
  - Ferrari has won more Formula 1 races than all other teams combined (240+ wins out of ~1,100 races total)
