Ducati Motor Holding Announces Preliminary Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2004 Financial Results BOLOGNA, Italy, February 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 2004 2003 Var% 4Q04 4Q03 Var% Revenues 382.8 388.2 -1.4% 114.8 103.6 10.8% EBITDA 39.1 45.2 -13.5% 13.0 14.3 -9.1% Profit/Loss (pre-tax) (1.8) 0.1 na 8.0 7.1 12.7% Net Debt (115.9) (117.2) 1.1% (Million euro) Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. (NYSE  MH, Borsa Italiana S.p.A: DMH), a leading manufacturer of high performance motorcycles, today announced preliminary full year and fourth quarter 2004 financial results. Revenues for 2004 were Euro 382.8 million, up 1.0% excluding forex effects, (or down 1.4% including forex effects) versus last year. Revenues from motorcycles decreased 4.4% to Euro 302.2 million and represented 78.9% of revenues. Motorcycle-related products, including spare parts, technical accessories and apparel, increased 8.2% to Euro 75.0 million against last year. Gross margin for 2004 was 36.0% versus last year's 34.7%, thanks to product cost reduction, operational efficiencies and related product sales increase, partly offset by a negative forex effect. EBITDA was Euro 39.1 million, or 10.2% of revenues, up 2.3% excluding forex effects (or down 13.5% including forex effects), versus Euro 45.2 million of the previous yea,. mainly due to increased sales costs. At EBT level, the result was a loss of Euro 1.8 million versus break-even in 2003, due to a lower EBITDA, which was partially offset by lower depreciation and financial charges. The Company's net debt on December 31, 2004 was Euro 115.9 million, down against Euro 117.2 million on December 31, 2003. The company's gearing ratio was 75% on December 31, 2004 versus 74% on the same date a year earlier. Unofficial Ducati worldwide registrations for 2004 were down 5.2% versus last year, with France down 1%, Italy down 6%, UK down 13%, Benelux down 17%, Japan down 19%, Germany down 20%, while Spain was up 33%, the US was up 15% and Australia was up 8%. "2004 was a challenging year for Ducati. The continuing weakness of the dollar and the difficult market conditions in Germany, France, UK and Japan together with the delay in the introduction of the new Monster S2R weighed heavily on both sales and registrations", said Federico Minoli, President and CEO of Ducati Motor Holding. "However, the company concluded 2004 with excellent fourth quarter results and 2 podiums in the MotoGP championship, which are both promising results for the coming year. The success of the presentation of the new Superbike, the arrival of the Monster S2R and the great excitement around the new Multistrada 620 all give us a year to look forward to with confidence". "We expect to close 2004 with a net loss of approximately 8 million Euro, due to current and deferred income taxes", added Enrico D'Onofrio, Chief Financial Officer of Ducati. "We are finalizing the refinancing of the bond which is expiring by the end of May 2005. The company is evaluating all possible financial instruments including a new bond issue in the range of 100 Million Euros." Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2004 were Euro 114.8 million, up 16.2% excluding forex effects, (or up 10.8% including forex effects) over the same period in 2003, due to higher bike sales. Gross margin for the fourth quarter was 33.4% of revenues, in line with the previous year. EBITDA was Euro 13.0 million, compared to Euro 14.3 million in 2003, due to a negative forex effect and higher sales costs. Results before tax for the fourth quarter of 2004 were a profit of Euro 8.0 million versus Euro 7.1 million last year. This increase is mainly due to lower financial charges. Fourth quarter 2004 financial results were approved by the Board of Director on February 10, 2005. By the end of the year 2004, the Company had re-purchased 3,769,249 shares, equivalent to Euro 3,283,016 or 2.37% of its stock capital. A discussion by Ducati management of 2004 results is available under the Company section of our website www.ducati.com in Investor Relations. It can be accessed until mid-March 2005 under "Webcast of Results" at the bottom of the IR Press Release Schedule section. Founded in 1926, Ducati builds racing-inspired motorcycles characterized by unique engine features, innovative design, advanced engineering and overall technical excellence.

I'm having a hard time trying to decided what kind of seat I want. I was thinking the corbin or the seat that the dealer offers any help would be great. Thank you, Jake | ||

FWIW, I like my Corbin seat on my S3. It's firmer than stock, but more comfortable as you put on the miles. I don't carry a passenger, so I had Corbin make the rider's seat area longer. It's nice to have the extra space to move around a bit. Jim | ||

Have erratic engine problem. 99 M2 with 9900 miles. Starts fine, goes for a few miles then engine starts to sputter and loses all power. Let it sit 5-10 minutes & she starts up. Will go about a mile and repeats itself. Gas tank vent recall done a while ago. New spark plugs a while ago. Thought is was the tank vent again so I released tank pressure but still would not start until it apparently cooled off. Also tried choking engine when it starts to sputter but made no difference. Must be electrical. Any suggestions as to where to start looking? Any help is greatly appreciated! | ||

Passed a red XB12S going south on FM1220 north of Fort Worth at 3:45 yesterday. You were riding with a group and so was I or I would have turned around. If you’re on this site make a post on the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex Buellers thread in the Storm Fronts section and let us know who you are. | ||
| Cowtown |
Come to think of it I passed a red XB12R about 6 months ago on Trail Lake Dr. less then 1 mile from my house but I was in my truck. Is there any way we could get Peggy to mention this website in Fuell? Has it ever been done? Would there be any reasons not to? | ||

Well...!!!!!Wonders never cease!! Our work with Laguna Seca(SCRAMP)seems to have achieved "Results in our Favor!!"Our person there,Mary J. called me this morning and she says she has gotten agreement that "Worst case Scenario "would be a 2-3 foot tall fence behind the Love Shack,but if the Fire Dept. goes her way there will only be small posts to mark spot like before!A 2-3 foot fence would still allow us to lower the veranda with NO obstruction!She has also said they looked at our plan and there will ALSO be a small bank for people to sit on and view the track unimpeded!!Sounds like everything we asked for!We all need to show our appreciation for all her work when we get there! Along with this news I also got verification that the Camping Pass situation will be as in the past! As long as our bikes fit in our sites we can utilize the Support Vehicle Pass to acquire the necessary armband for entry and exit of ALL our vehicles and Camper/visitors! This means if you can contact one of us on your approach to the track we can guide you in and/or meet you at camping gate so as to get you fitted up with armbands.Once you have an armband you have unlimited access to the site including after midnight entry...(necessary for Sat. night Cannery Row Party entrance back through Front Gate which is closely guarded!)We will be posting or E-mailing Cell numbers as we get closer. If you can't get ahold of us,or were on one of our Carmel Valley runs you can enter the track with your Race Passes and hike up towards the corkscrew,pass through the bridge,turn left and follow new trail up the hill to the Love Shack...When you get there ask someone to use the Support Vehicle pass.Go back to your vehicle and drive around to Corkscrew view Camping entrance,show pass,get bands,come up and we'll help unload bikes if your not on 'em allready! Ill post more pics of Map and mark it up so you can find your way...YAAHHOOOOOO Seca,here we come!!   |
