Interparfums, Inc. Reports 2026 Third Quarter Net Sales

Approximately $10 million in delayed giftset sales are expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter.

Rhea-AI Summary

Interparfums (IPAR) reported third-quarter 2026 net sales of $430 million, unchanged from the same period a year earlier. Nine-month sales rose 1% to $1,115 million. European operations generated quarterly sales of $306 million, up 4%, while United States operations declined 7% to $127 million.

The company attributed the U.S. decline largely to supply-chain disruptions delaying approximately $10 million in giftset sales, which it expects to recognize in the fourth quarter. Coach and Montblanc fragrance sales rose 23% and 12%, respectively, in the quarter; Ferragamo declined 22%. Lacoste returned to quarterly growth but remained down 9% year to date.

Financial results are scheduled for November 4, followed by a November 5 conference call.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Management Commentary:
Jean Madar, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Interparfums, stated, “Consolidated sales held stable at $430 million in the 2026 third quarter compared to the prior year period, producing year-to-date sales growth of 1%. Sales by European based operations were especially strong, which helped to offset weaker performance by United States based operations following an exceptional period of growth in the second quarter of 2026. The ongoing war in the Middle East represented a headwind of 1% in the third quarter and 2% for the first nine months.

“Our global brand portfolio and diverse fragrances enable us to reach a wide range of consumers and pursue multiple avenues for growth, with strength across key brands and markets helping to offset softer demand elsewhere. We are aligning our product offerings and commercial strategies with evolving consumer preferences. We are investing in our future with expanded partnerships and new exclusive license agreements, while preparing for a promising 2026 holiday season and an exciting 2027, driven by a series of blockbuster launches and new brand additions.”

European Based Operations
Mr. Madar continued, “Sales from our European based operations rose 4% in the 2026 third quarter, reflecting organic growth of 3% and a 1% contribution from new brands, partially offset by a 1% foreign exchange headwind.

“Coach fragrances have delivered outstanding performance so far in 2026, with sales rising by 23% and 15% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, respectively. The brand continues to benefit from its immense popularity in the United States, the strength of the established women’s and men’s lines, and the success of the two new line extensions launched earlier this year.”

“Montblanc fragrance sales returned to growth, increasing 12% in the third quarter after flat second quarter sales, producing 8% growth for the first nine months of 2026, driven by the success of Montblanc Legend Elixir and Montblanc Explorer Infinite, launched in the first and third quarters, respectively.

“Jimmy Choo fragrance sales rose 1% in the third quarter, leading to 5% growth in the first nine months of 2026. The brand’s sustained performance was driven by the continued success of the I Want Choo and Jimmy Choo Man franchises, supported by several line extensions launched over the past twelve months, including I Want Choo Midnight, which launched in the third quarter.

“Lacoste fragrance sales returned to growth in the third quarter, rising 4%, driven by Original Intense, the newest women’s launch in the Original franchise. This improvement followed a challenging first half of 2026, which reflected a strong prior-year comparison due to strong innovation and softer conditions in Eastern Europe, where the brand has a strong presence. While year-to-date sales declined 9%, the third-quarter performance is encouraging as we look ahead to major developments planned for 2027 and beyond.”

United States Based Operations
Mr. Madar continued, “Sales by our United States based operations decreased by 7% during the 2026 third quarter, driven largely by supply chain disruptions that resulted in the delayed shipment of giftsets for select brands. These delays represented approximately $10 million in sales, which will now be recognized in the fourth quarter. Excluding this impact, sales would have been flat. Year-to-date sales grew 3%, driven by 2% organic growth and a favorable foreign exchange impact of 1%. Excluding the impact of the delayed giftset shipments, sales would have increased 6%.

“Fragrance sales of GUESS, our largest United States based brand, rose by 3% and 7% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, respectively. Growth was driven by the continuing success of the Iconic franchise which was enhanced by the launches of two new extensions earlier this year, as well as extensions launched for the Amore and Seductive franchises.

“Donna Karan/DKNY fragrance sales declined 9% during the third quarter following double digit growth in the second quarter of 2026. The third quarter sales decline was driven by innovation phasing and giftset shipment delays. Brand sales grew 4% in the first nine months of the year.

“Ferragamo fragrance sales declined 22% in the third quarter due to innovation phasing but were only down 2% on a year-to-date basis. The brand was impacted by challenging market conditions in Europe, which is the core region for the brand.

“Roberto Cavalli fragrance sales increased 4% and 6% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, respectively, despite a difficult macro-economic environment in the Middle East, the brand’s largest market, and exceptionally high prior year growth comparisons. The brand’s growth this year has been driven by the enduring popularity of last year’s blockbuster Serpentine launch, as well as brand extensions released earlier in 2026, and the partnership with Kiko Milano.”

Mr. Madar concluded, “While some aspects of the market environment remain challenging, we are encouraged by the trajectory of our business and maintain a measured but positive outlook for the balance of the year, 2027 and beyond.”
