Things to Know Ahead of IPAR’s Q3 Earnings

Inter Parfums is continuing to experience strong momentum, driven by ongoing product innovation and a series of new launches across major brands.

The company achieved a 1% year-over-year increase in consolidated net sales to $430 million, marking a new third-quarter record.

A favorable dollar/euro exchange rate contributed approximately 2% to quarterly sales growth in the third quarter.

European-based net sales advanced 5% year over year to $295 million, fueled by strength across key brands. The Jimmy Choo franchise continued its strong momentum, with sales climbing 16% in the quarter and 9% year to date, driven by the ongoing success of the I Want Choo line. Lacoste, in its second year under Interparfums’ management, remained a standout performer and is on track to surpass $100 million in annual sales for 2025.

The Coach brand also contributed meaningfully, with sales up 6% in the third quarter and 18% year to date, bolstered by the successful launch of Coach Gold.

Among leading brands, GUESS fragrances slipped 3% due to a high comparison base, though demand is expected to strengthen in the final quarter of this year.

Donna Karan/DKNY sales fell 14% versus strong prior-year results but are projected to rebound in the fourth quarter. In contrast, Roberto Cavalli continued to shine, surging 44% in the third quarter and 33% year to date, propelled by the successful launch of Serpentine and Just Cavalli Give Me Magic.
