AI Brief
Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 5, 2026TL;DR. Interparfums grew sales 2% in both the second quarter and first half, maintained 2026 guidance of $1.48 billion and $4.85 EPS, and delivered strong U.S.-based growth, broad regional and brand gains, improved cash conversion, and a sizable product-extension and blockbuster-launch pipeline. Operating margins declined amid higher marketing, tariff, royalty, and logistics costs; Lacoste remained weak, geopolitical and macroeconomic headwinds persist, and the second half is expected to decline, although the company authorized share repurchases, declared a dividend, and expects tariff refunds to improve full-year gross margin.

Dividends per share over the trailing 365 days by ex-date · buyback figures as last reported in SEC filings ("spent" derived as authorized − remaining; when several programs run concurrently, authorized is their combined total per the newest filing) · components shown separately — trailing-year buyback spend isn't tracked, so no combined shareholder yield is derived.
