Closer Look at Q2 Sales
For the three months ended Jun 30, 2022, net sales surged 18% to $244.7 million compared with $207.6 million reported in the year-ago quarter. At comparable foreign currency rates, second-quarter net sales rallied 24% year over year.
During the second quarter, Inter Parfums’ Europe-based product sales came in at $166.3 million, up 3% from 2021 levels. U.S.-based product sales amounted to $78.4 million, surging 69% from second-quarter 2021. The company highlighted that sales in its U.S. operations were impressive, with comparable quarterly gains from GUESS?, Abercrombie & Fitch, Oscar de la Renta and MCM rising 39%, 40%, 35%, and 56%, respectively. Additional sales from Ferragamo fragrances also contributed to the upside. Further, legacy scents and flankers drove gains in the other brands. Management launched new flankers, including Authentic Moment by Abercrombie & Fitch and a collector’s edition of our MCM scent in the quarter under review. Also, the company launched Uomo by GUESS? in this period.
Talking about the European operations, the company highlighted that rise in the dollar masked gains of well-known brands. Nevertheless, brands like Montblanc, Jimmy Choo and Coach rose 6%, 4% and 13%, respectively, in U.S dollars. During the second quarter, management launched the Moncler duo, Jimmy Choo Man Aqua and Lanvin Mon Eclat. In addition, it rolled out Montblanc Legend Red, Kate Spade Sparkle and Coach Wild Rose, which debuted in the previous quarter.
Management highlighted that it has been facing several challenges, including inflation, supply chain disruptions, lockdowns, store closures, transportation issues, sanctions and currency headwinds. Apart from these, the slow recovery of international travel, logistics challenges in the United States and the war in Eastern Europe have been hurdles. Despite these headwinds, Inter Parfums has been witnessing solid growth on both sides of the Atlantic this year.
Raised 2022 View
Inter Parfums continues to witness a better-than-expected business performance. This and the level of booked orders for the back half of 2022 encouraged management to pull up its 2022 guidance. For 2022, Inter Parfums anticipates net sales of approximately $1 billion, up from almost $975 million projected earlier. The metric reflects growth from $879.5 million reported in 2021.
