Operational Commentary
Jean Madar, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Interparfums, noted, “Demand in the United States, which accounted for 35% of our second quarter net sales, remains strong, even as growth in the global fragrance market has begun to ease off. We are confident in our ability to navigate this environment thanks to the strength of our brand portfolio and our global network of distributors and retail partners, which give us access to a wide range of consumers across markets. While second quarter results were affected, and we anticipate that some of these headwinds will persist into the second half of the year, our proactive and timely actions position us to fully resolve these challenges in 2026.
“Our two largest markets, North America and Western Europe, grew sales by 7% and 3% on a year-to-date basis. Asia-Pacific fragrance sales were down 12% for the first half, with the decline primarily due to last year’s exceptional sales in Australia and distribution disruptions in South Korea in the current year while the overall trend remains positive in China and Japan.
“Central & South America sales increased 7% during the first six months, propelled by the strong performance of Lacoste fragrances and healthy market growth. Sales in Eastern Europe were up 14% as compared to the first half of 2024, where we faced temporary sourcing constraints. The Middle East & Africa declined 19%, primarily due to a disproportionate impact from the exit of the Dunhill license; excluding the impact of Dunhill, net sales declined 6% due to conflict in the region and as more doors focused on higher end luxury fragrances.
“As announced last month, we signed an exclusive global license agreement with Longchamp, further strengthening our portfolio. This marks the third new brand we have added to our portfolio since December 2024, preceded by Off-White and Goutal. Additionally, our first owned brand fragrance collection, Solférino, remains on track with a highly selective distribution and elevated merchandising strategy as we prepare to open our flagship Paris boutique next month.
Mr. Madar concluded, “As always, we remain committed to investing in our brands and capabilities while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to evolving market conditions. Although the imposition of tariffs and a dynamic market environment may present near-term challenges due to trade destocking, our recent pricing strategies, upcoming fragrance launches, and foreign exchange tailwinds are expected to be the catalysts in driving stronger results in the second half of 2025 leading to continued market share gains.”

Financial Commentary
Michel Atwood, Chief Financial Officer of Interparfums, noted, “Consolidated gross margin expanded 170 bps to 66.2% and 150 bps to 65.0% in the second quarter and first half of 2025, respectively, as a result of favorable segment and brand mix.
“SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 48.5% and 45.0% for the second quarter and first half of 2025 as compared to 45.6% and 43.6% for the comparable periods in 2024, attributable to higher levels of advertising and promotional expenditures in 2025. These expenditures represented 20.6% and 17.9% of net sales for the second quarter and first half of 2025, compared to 19.4% and 17.2% for the respective periods of the prior year.
“The key metrics mentioned resulted in operating margins aggregating 17.7% and 20.0% for the second quarter and first half of 2025, respectively, as compared to 18.9% and 19.9% for the corresponding periods of 2024.
“Below the operating line, first half net income was unfavorably impacted by other expenses of $6.7 million compared to $1.5 million in last year’s first half. Through June 30, 2025, we recorded $2.4 million in losses on foreign currency and a $3.4 million loss on marketable securities, while in the same period last year, there was a foreign currency gain of $0.3 million and a loss of $0.6 million on marketable securities.
“These factors contributed to our second quarter net income of $32 million, or $0.99 per diluted share.
“Our financial position remains healthy with $205 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and working capital of $654 million. In the first half of 2025, we improved our operating cash flow by $31 million compared to the same period last year, shifting from $26 million of cash consumption to $5 million of cash generation as our inventory initiatives began to deliver results.”
Reaffirms 2025 Guidance
Mr. Atwood concluded, “Despite healthy sellout in the first half driven by the strength of our portfolio and disciplined execution, our sales were slightly below expectations due to continued trade destocking. As we look ahead to the second half, we remain mindful of the ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, including tariff-related supply chain impacts, moderating demand in several international markets outside the United States, and continued volatility of the EUR/USD exchange rate.
“Nevertheless, we are cautiously optimistic in our ability to achieve the full year objectives we initially laid out in November 2024, supported by the continued resilience of the fragrance category, tariff induced second half pricing actions, and continuing foreign exchange tailwinds. As such, we are reaffirming our 2025 guidance, which calls for net sales of $1.51 billion and earnings per diluted share of $5.35.”
Dividend
The Company’s regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.80 per share will be paid on September 30, 2025, to shareholders of record on September 15, 2025.
