Exhibit 99.1
INTER PARFUMS, INC. REPORTS RECORD 2023 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Increases Earnings per Diluted Share Guidance from $4.25 to $4.55
NEW YORK – August 8, 2023: Inter Parfums, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: IPAR) (“Inter Parfums” or the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023.
| Second Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights | |||
| ($ in millions, except per share data) | 2023 | 2022 | % Change |
| Net Sales | $309 | $245 | 26% |
| Gross Margin | $188 | $154 | 23% |
| Gross Margin (as a percentage of net sales) | 60.9% | 62.8% | (190 bps) |
| Operating Income | $55 | $45 | 21% |
| Operating Margin | 17.8% | 18.6% | (80 bps) |
| Net Income (attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc.) | $35 | $28 | 27% |
| Earnings Per Diluted Share | $1.09 | $0.86 | 27% |
The average dollar/euro exchange rate for the current second quarter was 1.09 compared to 1.06 in the second quarter of 2022, while for the first half of 2023, the average dollar/euro exchange rate was 1.08 compared to 1.09 in the first half of 2022, leading to a positive 1.3% foreign exchange impact for the quarter and a negative 0.5% for the first half on Net Sales.
At comparable foreign currency exchange rates, consolidated second quarter net sales increased 25% from the second quarter of 2022. | |||
Operational Commentary
“With our second quarter net sales increasing 26%, on top of the healthy 18% growth from the prior year period, we are taking full advantage of the positive trends and momentum in the fragrance market while growing our market share with our innovative programs,” said Jean Madar, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Inter Parfums.
“Through the first half of the year, our robust growth has been geographically spread across our 120-country distribution footprint and included signs of renewed life in the travel retail business.
“We have always taken a conservative approach to the reopening of the Chinese fragrance market, and we will continue to be cautious and patient as we are confident in China’s long term prospects. China’s potentially immense market has been showing signs of improvement, but not enough to really move the needle. We anticipate continued modest sales growth for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024.”
Mr. Madar continued, “We are also well on our way in strategizing and building out the products, promotions, advertising and launch schedule for the newest and upcoming licenses, Roberto Cavalli and Lacoste, while also maintaining focus on all the other iconic brands in our fragrance portfolio.
“As we look into the back half of 2023, we are confident in achieving another excellent year as supply chain disruptions and inflationary impacts on components are mostly behind us, and our brands continue to perform exceedingly well, in conjunction with the favorable growth catalysts in the fragrance market.”

Financial Commentary
Michel Atwood, Chief Financial Officer of Inter Parfums, noted, “On a dollar basis, our second quarter operating income increased 21% to $55 million, and net income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. increased 27% to $35 million, or $1.09 per share compared to $0.86 per share in the prior year period.
“Our second quarter consolidated operating margin was strong at 17.8% but down 80 basis points, as a percentage of net sales. While we registered scale benefits from sales growth, price increases and favorable brand and channel mix, this was offset by a one-time conservative inventory reserve of $7 million related to certain underperforming brands within our European operations, for which we had built inventory during the pandemic to protect service levels. Excluding this one-time charge, both gross margins and operating margins would have expanded compared to the prior year period.”
Full-Year 2023 Guidance
Mr. Atwood continued, “As we reported in our second quarter 2023 net sales release on July 24th, we continue to look for full-year 2023 net sales to approximate $1.3 billion, or growth of 20% from full-year 2022.
“Today, we are also raising our 2023 earnings per diluted share guidance from $4.25 to $4.55, or growth of 20% from $3.78 for full-year 2022.
“It is important to note that only modest sales from China are included in our full-year 2023 guidance. Additionally, our sales guidance does not yet include initial sales of the newly acquired fragrance licenses, Roberto Cavalli, as we expect to start shipping in November/December 2023, and Lacoste fragrances, which are expected to start shipping in 2024.
“Our current 2023 guidance assumes that the dollar/euro average exchange rate remains at current levels.”
Dividend
The Company’s regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.625 per share will be paid on September 30, 2023, to shareholders of record on September 15, 2023.
Share Buyback Program
In the first half of 2023, the Company initiated a share repurchase program. Over the course of the first half of 2023, the Company repurchased 85,060 shares at a cost of $11.3 million. These shares are classified as treasury shares on the accompanying balance sheet.
The Company plans to continue repurchasing shares throughout 2023.
