Things To Note

Inter Parfums has been benefiting from strength in its brands for a while now. In this regard, the company’s largest and mid-sized brands are performing well. The company is also benefiting from robust product launches that boost assortment strength.

That said, Inter Parfums has been grappling with rising selling, general and administrative expenses for a while. The persistence of such high costs might be a concern for the company’s upcoming results.

Management debuted Montblanc Legend Red, a new Coach signature scent extension and GUESS Uomo during this time. These debutants contributed to the double-digit brand sales gains. The company’s mid-sized brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, Kate Spade, Oscar de la Renta and Van Cleef & Arpels also delivered double-digit sales gains. Additional sales from initial product rollouts from MCM and Moncler brand were also an upside. Initial sales of Ferragamo and Ungaro legacy scents also drove the quarterly sales.
