Ferrari said it now saw its 2020 adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) edging down from the previous year to between 1.05-1.20 billion euros.

In February, Ferrari had guided for an increase in 2020 EBITDA to between 1.38-1.43 billion euros.

The company, which on Monday restarted operations at its plants in Maranello and Modena, said its adjusted EBITDA rose 1.9% to 317 million euros ($347 million) in the first quarter, broadly in line with a 322 million euro forecast in an analyst poll compiled by Reuters.

The two plants, both located in Italy’s northern Emilia Romagna region, had been closed since mid-March.

Ferrari shares extended losses after the results were published to stand down 5.3% by 1124 GMT.
