Ferrari’s new CEO, Louis Camilleri changes profit-oriented approach inherited from previous CEO Sergio Marchionne. As a result, Ferrari is expecting earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization to be in a range of 1.8 billion to 2 billion euros in 2022, down from the old target of 2 billion euros.
Camilleri told investors, “Our objectives are ambitious, but they are based on a meticulously constructed model pipeline, our enviable pricing power, and appropriate investment levels”. Further, he added, “I don’t want anyone to think that because there is a new CEO he is low-balling, this is an ambitious plan, but it is a doable one and it is based on a concrete framework.”
