Insights

Financial Analyst

Interparfums delivers 5% Q1 sales growth despite challenges, confidently maintains 2025 guidance amid proactive management of tariff pressures.

Interparfums has posted a 5% year-over-year increase in net sales to $339 million for Q1 2025, demonstrating resilience in a challenging global environment. The company achieved 7% growth on an organic basis, showing underlying strength when adjusted for currency and portfolio changes.

European operations were the growth engine, increasing 7% with standout performances from Jimmy Choo (+36%), Lacoste (+30%), and Coach (+11%). The Montblanc brand experienced a -16% decline, though this reflects a difficult comparison against last year's successful Legend Blue launch rather than fundamental weakness. Management expects this brand to recover through 2025 with the upcoming Explorer Extreme release.

U.S.-based operations showed more mixed results with a -1% reported decline, though organic sales increased 3% when excluding the discontinued Dunhill license impact. The portfolio showed varied performance with Roberto Cavalli (+28%), MCM (+17%), and Donna Karan/DKNY (+5%) delivering growth, while GUESS sales slightly declined against a strong prior-year comparison.

Management has proactively addressed emerging challenges, specifically new tariffs, through supply chain adjustments and planned selective price increases starting August 2025. The company's recently implemented ERP system and organizational upgrades are positioned as strategic advantages in managing these complexities.

Most importantly, Interparfums has confidently reaffirmed its full-year 2025 guidance of $1.51 billion in net sales and $5.35 earnings per diluted share, representing 4% growth in both metrics. This maintained outlook suggests management has visibility into continued growth despite the acknowledged headwinds, reflecting confidence in their diversified brand portfolio and robust innovation pipeline for the remainder of 2025.

NEW YORK, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Interparfums, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: IPAR) (“Interparfums” or the “Company”) today announced that for the three months ended March 31, 2025, net sales rose to $339 million, up 5% from $324 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Net Sales ($ in millions)	Three Months Ended March 31,

European based net sales	$248	$231	7%

*United States based organic net sales increased by 3%, excluding the impact of the discontinued Dunhill license. The average dollar/euro exchange rate for the 2025 first quarter was 1.05 compared to 1.09 in the 2024 first quarter leading to a negative 1% foreign exchange impact.

Management Commentary:
Jean Madar, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Interparfums stated, “During the first quarter of 2025, our consolidated net sales rose by 5% on a reported basis and 7% on an organic basis, fueled by demand for many of our key brands and our robust innovation pipeline. Despite a challenging and uncertain global environment, we remained focused and agile, effectively leveraging the ongoing strength of the fragrance market to deliver another record first quarter performance in net sales.

“Sales by European based operations increased 7% compared to the same period last year, led by three of our top brands: Jimmy Choo, Coach, and Lacoste, which grew by 36%, 11%, and 30%, respectively. Jimmy Choo continued to benefit from strong performance for the I Want Choo and Jimmy Choo Man franchises. The introduction of Coach Man Extreme and healthy performance across the established lines spurred an increase in overall Coach sales and strong demand for Lacoste fragrances continued as the brand entered its second year under our management. While we expect Montblanc fragrance sales to increase through the balance of 2025, especially with the introduction of Montblanc Explorer Extreme later this year, brand sales declined 16% due to the high bar set in last year’s first quarter following the debut of Montblanc Legend Blue.

“For United States based operations, 2025 first quarter organic sales increased 3% off a very high base in the prior year period where we achieved 11% organic sales growth. The discontinuation of the Dunhill license had a 4% negative impact, leading to a 1% decline in reported sales for the quarter.

“Donna Karan/DKNY fragrance sales rose by 5% with the continued strength of our Cashmere Mist franchise. MCM sales grew by 17% with the rollout of the Park Collection. Following the start of its fragrance distribution in February 2024, Roberto Cavalli delivered a 28% increase in net sales. Despite strong momentum from the fashion house and early success of Iconic, GUESS fragrance sales declined slightly due to a very high base in the same period last year when the brand’s sales rose 21%.”

Mr. Madar concluded, “Once again, we are navigating a complex landscape including new tariffs that we are addressing through supply chain adjustments. The ERP system we recently implemented, coupled with our organizational talent upgrades, enables us to navigate these unprecedented times with agility. We are also planning selective price increases on certain lines in August 2025 to offset some of these higher costs. Our diversified brand portfolio, global distribution, and robust innovation pipeline have positioned us well to deliver strong performance for the balance of 2025.”
