Things to Know

Recently, Inter Parfums revealed impressive sales numbers for the first quarter of 2021. Net sales in the quarter surged 37.1% year over year to $198.5 million. At comparable exchange rates, consolidated net sales advanced 32.7%. First-quarter 2021 sales exceeded first-quarter 2019 sales by 11.4%, indicating better performance from pre-pandemic levels. Management highlighted that the company continued its revival trend, witnessed in the second half of 2020. Certainly, a robust first-quarter performance despite major travel retail hurdles is impressive.

During the first quarter of 2021, European product sales surged 40% to $159.7 million and U.S.-based product sales soared 26.2% to $38.8 million from the year-ago quarter’s levels. In European operations, Montblanc, Jimmy Choo, Coach, and Lanvin brands registered sales growth of 27.4%, 66.7%, 8.8% and 91.2%, respectively. Moving to the U.S. operations, the company benefited from strength in GUESS, Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister and Dunhill brands. Also, the debut of MCM signature scent toward the end of the first quarter also led to the upside.

That said, Inter Parfums, in its last earnings call, highlighted that for 2021 it expects slight increase in fixed expenses due to unwinding of certain steps that were undertaken in 2020 to minimize the impacts of the pandemic. This also raises concerns over the quarter to be reported. Apart from this, the company is persistently exposed to volatile currency movements owing to its international presence.
