Delivered record Q2 results with improvements in Maserati, LATAM, EMEA and Components, and continued strong performance in NAFTA
Group margin up 90 bps to record 6.7%
Maserati margin more than doubled to 14.2% from 6.2%
NAFTA margin up 50 bps to record 8.4%
Increase driven by strong operating performance
Net financial expenses of €369 million, down €122 million primarily as a result of ongoing gross debt reduction

NET INDUSTRIAL DEBT 2017 GUIDANCE(3)
Decrease of €0.9 billion, mainly driven by €2.9 billion cash flows from operations, partially offset by capital expenditures of €2.2 billion
Available liquidity remained strong at €20.0 billion, down €1.6 billion from March 2017, primarily reflecting €1.4 billion planned gross debt reduction
The Group confirms full-year guidance:
Net revenues €115 - €120 billion

Adjusted net profit > €3.0 billion
Net industrial debt

at 12.4% in line with Q1 2017, down 30 bps year over year, mainly reflecting
8.4% driven by favorable mix with lower volumes
discontinuance of Chrysler 200, Dodge Dart and Jeep Patriot
Decrease in shipments primarily due to planned capacity realignment and the transition to the all- new Jeep Compass
Decrease in Net revenues mainly due to lower shipments, partially offset by favorable vehicle mix and positive foreign exchange translation
Decrease in Adjusted EBIT mainly due to lower Net revenues and prior year one-off residual values adjustment, substantially offset by lower warranty costs including supplier recoveries, purchasing savings and reduced advertising costs

driving higher volumes and improved mix
Increase in shipments mainly due to the all-new Jeep Compass
Net revenues increase due to higher shipments, favorable vehicle mix and favorable foreign exchange translation effects
Adjusted EBIT increase mainly as a result of higher Net revenues, partially offset by increased product cost driven by inflation
Adjusted EBIT excludes total charges of €93 million, of which €40 million relates to workforce restructuring costs and €53 million of asset impairment charges primarily related to the early discontinuance of Fiat Novo Palio production and certain real estate assets in Venezuela
During the quarter, the Group reversed a liability of €895 million for Brazilian indirect taxes reflecting recent court decisions. As this liability related to the Group's Brazilian operations in multiple segments and given the significant and unusual nature of the item, it was not attributed to the results of the related segments and was excluded from Group Adjusted EBIT.
There was a corresponding €281 million decrease in deferred tax assets related to the release of the above liability. Additionally, due to increased political uncertainty in Brazil, a slower pace of economic recovery is anticipated. As a result, deferred tax assets of €453 million were written-off. These items are excluded from Group Adjusted net profit.
