Ferrari's first EV will be unveiled in three steps
MILAN — Ferrari will launch its first full-electric car through a three-step process, CEO Benedetto Vigna said, while presenting the company's first quarter results.
Ferrari will show 'the technological heart' of the new model at the company's capital markets day on Oct. 9, Vigna said.
The world premier will take place in the spring of next year and sales will start in October 2026, Vigna told analysts on May 6.
It was the first time Ferrari gave the timing of when the EV could reach customers. In February. Vigna said the car would be presented at the company's capital market day in October.

An analyst, who declined to be named, said it sounded like there was some delay to Ferrari's launch plan, because people would expect to see the full car at the capital markets day.
Ferrari plans to continue offering gasoline and hybrid cars in the future, along with all-electric models. Hybrid models, which it started to sell in 2019, made up 51 percent of Ferrari's car sales last year.
Full-year forecast confirmed despite tariffs
Ferrari on May 6 reported a 15 percent rise in first-quarter core earnings to €693 million and stuck to its broad financial guidance for the year, despite other automakers scrapping forecasts due to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs.
Its revenue climbed 13 percent to €1.79 billion on higher shipments in Europe and to the Americas.
The Italian luxury sports car maker warned that U.S. tariffs could cut 50 basis points off its 2025 profit margins.
But it still kept its forecasts, including for full-year earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of at least €2.68 billion ($3.04 billion) and an EBITDA margin of at least 38.3 percent.
The 296 Speciale coupe is Ferrari's latest model. It accelerates from 0 to 100 kph (0 to 62 mph) in 2.8 seconds.
Bernstein analysts said that was a sign of confidence at a time when the likes of Mercedes, Ford and Stellantis have suspended guidance.
'Ferrari stands out,' the analysts said in a note.
Ferrari sells about one in four cars in the U.S., its largest market. The company said in March that it plans to raise prices for some of its models in the market by as much as 10 percent because of tariffs.
Ferrari's higher earnings in the first quarter were boosted by a pricier lineup, including the SF90XX family, the 12Cilindri and the 499P Modificata models, as well as increased demand for personal touches requested by buyers and from more profitable markets, driven by the Americas.
Ferrari sales slump in China
Ferrari's global shipments rose 1 percent to 3,593 cars in the quarter. Deliveries were held back by a continuing slump in the greater China region, where its sales fell 25 percent amid muted demand for Western luxury cars. Ferrari's poor performance there follows a 21 percent sales drop in the region in the fourth quarter.

Candiani Denim Doubles Down on Transparency and Innovation Amid Industry Challenges
Despite it being a challenging period for denim, Candiani Denim remains committed to investing in sustainability and innovative materials. In a new 2024 sustainability report, the Italian mill details new protocols and partnerships that align with its goals to reduce the environmental impact of its manufacturing and products. More from Sourcing Journal Why Investors Are Rooting for 'Clean' Fashion Guess Streamlines ESG Strategy OshKosh B'gosh Parent Company Embraces Ozone, Prepares for Digital Product Passports 'In this environment, price has often become the dominant factor in purchasing decisions, leading many companies, across both fast fashion and premium sectors, to reduce or abandon their investments in sustainable and innovative materials in favor of cheaper alternatives,' Alberto Candiani, president of Candiani Denim, stated in the report. 'At Candiani, however, we have chosen a different path. We remain deeply committed to sustainable innovation and continuous improvement in our processes and efficiency. We believe that true value lies not just in creating denim that is beautiful or high-performing, but in producing fabrics that are cleaner, eco-compatible, and respectful of our planet. This conviction drives every decision we make and every product we develop,' he added. Transparency and data are key to the Milanese mill's vision. In 2024, the Coreva innovator adopted the Sustainable Brand Platform (SBP) to collect reliable performance data, enhance its environmental impact, and ensure advanced supply chain traceability and transparency. Manufacturers using SBP become strategic partners in sustainability, capable of embedding environmental metrics into both operational and long-term business planning, according to the report. The platform automates Corporate Carbon Footprint and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) calculations. It notifies partners of inefficiencies, identifies high-emission or resource-intensive stages of production and provides detailed environmental performance data that can be shared with clients and stakeholders, Additionally, SBP is aligned with European regulatory frameworks including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and the upcoming Digital Product Passport. Candiani underscores how this strengthens its position ahead of compliance deadlines, while simultaneously reducing the administrative burden of manual data reporting. Candiani is taking steps to improve its chemical management practices with a new internal screening and storage. Before approving a new chemical product, the mill reviews its safety data sheet to ensure it complies with voluntary standards like GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and ZDHC's MRSL (Manufacturing Restricted Substance List). Additionally, Candiani only purchases and uses chemicals that conform to Levi's Restricted Substances List. Upon arrival at the mill, chemicals are entered into the new chemical management portal, labeled with product, lot, and expiry date, and stored in Candiani's warehouse. When needed for production, the required quantity is deducted, allowing real-time tracking of our chemical inventory. The report noted that chemical products are also uploaded on ZDHC's CleanChain and an InCheck report is created. Inventory is updated every three months. After becoming the first company certified according to Regenagri's Chain of Custody standard in 2021, Candiani remains focused on supporting regenerative agriculture. Regenerative cotton now represents 30 percent of the mill's production, with projections to exceed 40 percent in 2025. Building on its past practices, Candiani reported that it will continue to focus on main strategic sustainability goals and work to improve profitability. Allocating an annual budget for innovation and R&D, enhancing raw material traceability, and maintaining an up-to-date product catalog on the Product DNA platform, which specializes in supply chain mapping and blockchain-based product traceability, are key priorities for the mill. 'We want to offer our clients an easy way to verify the quality and origin of the fabrics they're sourcing from Candiani. Those interested in knowing where materials come from can access a virtual map that traces the entire supply chain. Understanding sourcing locations helps to reduce the risk of, or even prevent, environmental pollution and human rights violations,' the mill stated. Ongoing goals related to the business practices include monitoring the supply chain with second-party audits, increasing the frequency of audits, investing in expert consultants and training two internal figures to become auditors. Additionally, the mill plans to instill transparency and anti-corruption training for at-risk functions, managers and relevant administrative employees.
