Operational Commentary

Jean Madar, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Interparfums, noted, "While the prestige and luxury fragrance category continues to perform well, broader macroeconomic factors, including retailer destocking, evolving consumer behavior, and tariff-related disruptions, moderated our topline growth. We remain confident that our strong innovation pipeline, supported by rigorous advertising and promotion programs, and ongoing portfolio evolution, will maintain sales momentum in the coming months and into 2026.

"Our two largest markets, North America and Western Europe, grew sales by 4% and 3%, respectively, on a year-to-date basis. Sales in Asia/Pacific were down 9%, due to distribution challenges in South Korea and India.

"With fragrance leading the beauty category in Central and South America, our sales increased 12% through the first nine months, fueled by the strength of Lacoste and Coach fragrance sales. Sales in Eastern Europe rose 6% compared with the first nine months of 2024, reflecting more normalized sales levels as last year's period was affected by sourcing constraints. The Middle East and Africa declined 16%, primarily due to the run-off of the Dunhill license, which was completed in August 2024. Excluding the impact of Dunhill, net sales in the Middle East and Africa declined 7%, as a result of ongoing conflict in the region and a smaller pool of prestige fragrance retailers."

Mr. Madar concluded, "Despite the slowing sales, we continue to invest in our brands to maximize engagement both in-store and online, leveraging the reach and performance across our e-commerce channels. We're positioned to capture sales in the final three months of the year as healthy consumer demand accelerates during the holiday gifting season, driven by differentiated product offerings, targeted marketing initiatives, and increased brand visibility."

Financial Commentary

Michel Atwood, Chief Financial Officer of Interparfums, noted, "For the first nine months of 2025, consolidated gross margin rose 80 basis points to 64.4%, driven by a favorable segment and brand mix in the nine months of the year. In the third quarter, however, it declined marginally by 40 basis points to 63.5% as favorable segment/channel/brand mix and pricing were not sufficient to fully offset the higher tariffs on our United States imports.

"SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 38.2% and 42.4%, respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 as compared to 38.9% and 41.8%, for the comparable periods in 2024, attributable to the phasing of advertising and promotional activities. These expenditures represented 15.3% and 16.9% of net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, compared to 15.7% and 16.6% for the respective periods of the prior year as we continue to invest in advertising and promotional activities ahead of our growth and in line with our expected sell-out.

"The key metrics mentioned resulted in operating margins of 25.3% and 22.0% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, as compared to 25.0% and 21.9% for the corresponding periods of 2024.

"Below the operating line, net income reflected other expenses of $7.7 million during the first nine months of 2025, compared to $7.1 million in the same period last year. Through September 30, 2025, we recorded $4.6 million in losses on foreign currency and a $2.5 million loss on marketable securities, while in the same period last year, there was a foreign currency loss of $3.1 million and a loss of $0.8 million on marketable securities.

"Our consolidated effective tax rate was 23.5% and 23.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively as we benefited from a favorable net tax gain of $2 million in the third quarter following a positive outcome from prior year tax assessments.

"These factors contributed to our third quarter net income attributable to Interparfums, Inc. of $66 million, or $2.05 per diluted share, a 6% improvement over last year's third quarter. For the first nine months, net income was unchanged at $140 million, but up slightly on a diluted per share basis to $4.36.

"Our financial position remains healthy with $188 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and working capital of $688 million. We generated $68 million in operating cash flow for the first nine months of 2025, up from $50 million a year ago, while working capital efficiency helped reduce cash usage to $134 million, compared to $147 million in the prior year."

Guidance Update

Mr. Atwood concluded, "Since November 2024, we have maintained our full-year 2025 guidance with confidence in our operational agility and disciplined execution. While our fundamentals remain strong with a healthy innovation pipeline, strong partnerships with global distributors and retailers, and a resilient consumer base, we are updating our 2025 guidance to reflect slower than anticipated growth through September of this year, amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and moderating demand in several international markets outside the United States. We now expect $1.47 billion in sales, up 1% year-over-year, leading to diluted earnings per share of $5.12, flat compared to full-year 2024."

Interparfums plans to release its initial guidance for full-year 2026 on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, after the close of the market.

Dividend

The Company's regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.80 per share will be paid on December 31, 2025, to shareholders of record on December 15, 2025.

Merger of French Subsidiaries

In order to streamline our corporate structure, in December 2025, our wholly owned French subsidiary, Inter Parfums Holding SA ("IPH Subsidiary"), will merge into Interparfums SA, our French operating subsidiary, with Interparfums SA becoming the surviving entity. IPH Subsidiary did not conduct any business. We do not believe there will be any material impact to our shareholders, because before and after the merger our Company still own approximately 72% of Interparfums SA.
