Benedetto Vigna: Gracias, Nicoletta. And thanks everyone for joining us today. 2023 will be remembered as the year in which we accomplished the many achievements and we strengthened our brand across each of its three [stores], racing, sport cars and lifestyles. For this, I would like to thank all the women and men of Ferrari for their outstanding work, all our clients for their continuous trust in our brand, and all our partners, suppliers, dealers and sponsors with whom we have continued to strengthen our relations. Among the many achievements realizing 2023, I like to mention three. The first historic victory at Le Mans. The second is the fund new model launches, further enriching our beautiful product offering together with a variety of new clients, engagement experiences.
And last but not least, the new iconic bag and Maranello clutch that stems out to the cooperation between colleagues in Maranello belongs to sports car team and those in Milan of our lifestyle department. These achievements are reflected in our record full year financial results across all metrics. So let's start reviewing together a few key numbers of year 2023. Revenues were at approximately EUR6 billion. EBITDA at EUR2.28 billion with record yearly EBITDA margin of 38.2%. Net profit first in our history well over EUR1 billion threshold with a remarkable net profit margin of 21%. And industrial free cash flow generation of approximately EUR930 million on which about EUR800 million distributed to shareholders between dividends and share buyback.
And now after the numbers, let's deep dive into our racing activities. Winning the 24 hours of Le Mans was an unforgettable day for our history. I was there. They will never forget June 11 afternoon because it saw our victorious return to the top class of the World Endurance Championship on the centenary of this legendary 24 hour race. The Ferrari 499P win was a true team effort. Every area, every area of our company worked together to contribute to our hypercar success. And I am really proud of everyone, as we say we are and we act as one Ferrari. In Formula 1, we fought till the very last race. Even though the last season has been a difficult one often short on satisfaction, we know we must continue to work tirelessly to return to the level that our tifosi rightly expect of us and we look forward to it.
