Inter Parfums, Inc. (IPAR - Free Report) delivered second-quarter 2022 results, with the top and the bottom line increasing year over year. Quarterly earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
Inter Parfums’ results gained from sales growth across the company’s European and U.S.-based operations. The company benefited from the impressive performance of its brands. However, unfavorable foreign currency rates are a concern. Management reiterated its 2022 guidance.
