DUCATI MOTOR HOLDINGS ANNOUNCES MUCH IMPROVED RESULTS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2007

Ducati recently released (Aug. 8) its financial results for the first two quarters of 2007. The results are much improved over the same period in 2006. Some highlights:

Increase in EBITDA to 38.9 million Euro (+71%).

Increase in Net Profit to 16.3 million Euro (+623%). (AUTHORS NOTE: The Ducati earnings announcement apparently transposed the figures for Net Profit and EBITDA. But as long as the CFO knows the difference, that’s okay.)

Increase in Revenues to 235.7 Euro (+ 40%).

Unit Sales increased 26.7%.
