BOLOGNA, Italy, May 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Board of Directors of Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. (Borsa Italiana: DMH; NYSE: DMH) approved today the financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006. Revenues for the first quarter of 2006 were Euro 78.2 million, down 4.5% compared to Euro 81.9 million in the same period in 2005. This was due to a reduction in motorcycle sales, offset by a positive product mix, increased sales in accessories, as well as a positive exchange rate effect. 7,337 units were sold in the period. Revenues from motorcycles for the period decreased 8.6% to Euro 60.2 million against the same period last year and accounted for 77.0% of total revenues. Motorcycle-related products, including spare parts, accessories and apparel, amounted to Euro 16.9 million, up 9.9% on the first quarter of 2005. Gross margin for the period amounted to Euro 24.2 million or 31.0% of revenues versus Euro 17.9 million or 21.8% over the same period last year, due to a positive product mix, increased accessories sales, as well as a positive exchange rate effect. EBITDA was Euro 11.3 million for the period and accounted for 14.5% of revenues, versus 9.6% in the same period last year. Operating result (EBIT) was a profit of Euro 6.0 million versus a Euro 2.1 million profit for the same period in 2005, due to the above-mentioned factors. At EBT level, the result was a profit of Euro 5.3 million versus a loss of Euro 0.4 million in the same period in 2005. Net result for the first quarter 2006 was a profit of Euro 1.5 million compared to a loss of Euro 2.6 million in the first quarter of 2005. Company net debt as of March 31, 2006 was Euro 141.2 million, an improvement compared to Euro 159.2 million on March 31, 2005 and an improvement of Euro 4.2 million versus December 31, 2005, which is in line with the seasonality of sales. As of March 31, 2006, the Company's net assets were Euro 122.0 million. For the first quarter of 2006, unofficial Ducati registrations were up 3.3% on the same period of last year. Registrations in Japan were up by 30%, in the US by 19%, in the non-subsidiary countries by 18%, and in Germany by 3%, while they were down in France (-3%), Italy (-6%), Benelux (-25%) and the UK (-32%). "2006 is off to a strong start, both in terms of financial results as well as on the racetrack. The transition from TPG to InvestIndustrial as the controlling shareholders has been successfully completed and the Company refinancing has seen positive input from the banks, headed by UniCredit," announced Federico Minoli, Ducati's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The Company has the financial resources and renewed enthusiasm to face future challenges with passion and confidence." Enrico D'Onofrio, Chief Financial Officer for Ducati, added, "Thanks to a favourable product and geographic mix, the first quarter of 2006 sees a return to profit and an improved net financial position on last year. However, year-end forecast remains prudent and our main objective for 2006 is to reduce stock in our dealer network and improve structural costs." As of March 31, 2006 the Company did not hold any treasury shares. Founded in 1926, Ducati develops racing-inspired motorcycles characterized by unique engine features, innovative design, advanced engineering and overall technical excellence. The Company produces motorcycles in six market segments which vary in their technical and design features and intended customers: Superbike, Supersport; Monster, Sport Touring, Multistrada and Sport Classic.
