Ducati: in Pursuit of Magic (A)
DG-1507-E Rev. 2/2017 Ducati: In Pursuit of Magic (A) On the first business day of January 2006, Federico Minoli pulled up and parked his Ducati Multistrada motorcycle in front of the Ducati headquarters in Bologna, Italy. As he looked up at the complex, which housed offices, the assembly factory and the Ducati museum, he reflected back on the company’s history. 2006 would mark several anniversaries: 80 years since Ducati was established to produce electronic radio equipment; 60 years since Ducati had been producing motorcycles; and ten years since Minoli had become the company’s CEO. Minoli joined the then near bankrupt Ducati in 1996, and led its turnaround by creating the “World of Ducati,” a world that involved superior engineering, Italian heritage, slick design and an undeniable attraction for racing enthusiasts to “join the tribe” and become “Ducatisti.” See the video: Ducati’s advertising (length: 1’50”) Revenues moved from €195 million to €380 million from 1996 to 2000. EBITDA improved from a loss to €60 million in the same period. However, in the five subsequent years, business results stalled: revenues fell 2.3% on a compound annual growth rate from 2000 to 2005, and EBITDA fell to -€273,000 at the close of 2005. In late 2005, an agreement was signed by shareholder Texas Pacific Group to sell its 30% stake in Ducati to InvestIndustrial Holdings SA and a syndicate of other investors, with the understanding that Ducati would pursue a capital increase of €80 million. Minoli was certain that the new shareholders would demand certain changes to cut costs and get the company’s growth back on track.

BORN INTO RACING 60S and 70S
THE APRILIA SUCCESS STORY BORN INTO RACING With 294 Grand Prix races won in Road Racing World Championship, Aprilia holds the record for the most wins of any European manufacturer in the history of maximum motorcycle competition. These are joined by an impressive 54 world titles: 38 in Road Racing World Championship (20 in 125 and 18 in 250), 7 in Superbike (Rider and Manufacturer double win in 2010, 2012 and 2014, manufacturers in 2013) and 9 in Off Road disciplines (7 in Supermoto and 2 in Trial). In December 2004 Aprilia becomes part of the Piaggio Group which, with the reorganisation of the Noale Racing Division, takes the Veneto-based brand to victories in World Championship Motorcycle Racing and broadens the horizons of sport activity: from the return to the off road discipline, world rally to the début – in 2009 – of the Aprilia RSV4 in World Superbike. During the same period Aprilia has also accumulated 28 World Titles and a countless collection of European and national titles. Every weekend, all over the world, Aprilia motorcycles take to the track on international and local circuits, holding high the honour of Italian and European motorcycling, feeding the biker's desire to race and raising up young riders destined to enter into the world championship world. 60s and 70s Aprilia begins manufacturing motorcycles at the end of the 60's and already in 1970 produces a motocross "fifty" which would evolve into a 125, until arriving at the first competition motocross bike in the mid 70's. After the début in the Motocross sport in 1975, Aprilia enters World Championship Motorcycle Racing to challenge the unbeatable Japanese in the extremely competitive 250 class.
