FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INTER PARFUMS, INC. REPORTS 2017 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

New York, New York, May 9, 2017: Inter Parfums, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: IPAR) today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

First Quarter 2017 Compared to First Quarter 2016:

Discussing the Company’s European based operations, Jean Madar, Chairman & CEO of Inter Parfums, Inc., stated, “While new fragrance launches are critical to our growth strategy, when it comes to return on investment, there is nothing more satisfying than recurring sales and profits generated by our best performing legacy scents. We experienced both in the first quarter of 2017. As we reported, there was a 57% increase in Jimmy Choo brand sales with both legacy fragrances and new scents driving growth. Our Jimmy Choo signature scent for women, which debuted in 2011, and Jimmy Choo Man which launched in 2014, have enjoyed remarkable staying power. Building on these very strong fragrance family trees, we successfully launched Jimmy Choo L’Eau for women and Jimmy Choo Man Ice during the current first quarter. Lanvin brand sales rebounded, increasing 46%, which was also attributable to both legacy and new scents, with Lanvin’s star performer, Éclat d’Arpège, resuming a growth trend, coupled with the international launch of Modern Princess. Rochas fragrance sales increased 43% likewise based on the strength of the brand's historic lines plus initial sales of Mademoiselle Rochas, our first new product initiative since we acquired the brand in 2015.”

He continued, “Coach fragrances contributed about $8.0 million to first quarter sales with the continued geographic rollout of the brand’s signature scent for women which debuted in mid-2016. We have high expectations for our first Coach scent for men which will unveil in the fall. Montblanc brand sales declined 10% in the current first quarter because of a difficult comparison with the same period one year earlier when there was a 29% increase in sales owing in great part to the highly successful launch and rollout of Montblanc Legend Spirit. With the introduction of Montblanc Legend Night planned for the end of the year, we would anticipate an upswing in brand sales. We have several other fragrances in debuting this year, including a multi-scent collection for Boucheron, fragrance duo for Karl Lagerfeld, brand extension for Lanvin’s Éclat d’Arpège, and new addition to the Van Cleef & Arpels Collection Extraordinaire assortment.”

Discussing U.S. based operations, Mr. Madar noted, “Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister fragrances drove the growth in sales starting with the launch of Abercrombie & Fitch First Instinct for men and Hollister Wave for men and women in mid-2016. This year, these fragrance families are being enlarged with First Instinct for women and the Wave 2 duo. Another reason for the more than 20% top line growth was a turnaround in Anna Sui brand sales. During the economic downturn in China, a major market for the brand, we maintained our strong advertising and marketing commitment to Anna Sui, which is being rewarded as the Chinese economy improves. In addition, the brand’s growing popularity in other Asian countries is contributing to the upturn in Anna Sui fragrance sales, which we are exploiting with a major new product launch for the brand later this year with distribution concentrated across Asia. We expect Dunhill brand sales to improve with the launch of Icon Racing late in the year, building upon the established success of the Icon fragrance family.”

Russell Greenberg, Executive Vice President and CFO of Inter Parfums, Inc., stated, “Our blended gross profit margin declined slightly within our European based operations primarily due to product mix and increased costs relating to purchase with purchase and gift with purchase promotions which aggregated $9.4 million and $6.8 million for the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively, and represented 7.8% and 7.4% of net sales, respectively. Additionally, we sold the remaining $1.4 million of Balmain inventory at cost, which pressured first quarter gross profit margin. For U.S. operations, gross profit margin rose to 50.1% from last year’s 48.2%, due to increased sales of higher margin prestige product under license.”

He continued, “The dramatic increase in sales coupled with the decline in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales caused the extraordinary increase in operating income and operating margin. For European operations, with sales up nearly 30%, selling, general and administrative expenses only increased 18%. For U.S. operations, sales were up 20%, while selling, general and administrative expenses increased 22% in 2017 as compared to 2016 and represented 45% of net sales in both 2017 and 2016.”

Mr. Greenberg continued, “In the current first quarter we recorded lower net interest expense and foreign currency losses than in the prior year period, but of course, the biggest swing item below the operating income line was the non-recurring $1.9 million tax settlement recorded in the 2016 first quarter, which resulted in a 45% tax rate for the period.”

Mr. Greenberg also pointed out, “We closed the quarter with working capital of $344 million, including approximately $226 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and $70.2 million of long-term debt including current maturities in connection with the 2015 Rochas brand acquisition.”

2017 Guidance Affirmed

In closing, Mr. Greenberg reiterated, “The over 28% increase in first quarter sales, while welcome, is not indicative of how we see the rest of the year unfolding. We continue to look for 2017 net sales to be in the $550 million and $560 million range and net income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. to be between $1.20 to $1.24 per diluted share. Guidance assumes the dollar remains at current levels.”

Dividend

The Company’s regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share will be paid on July 14, 2017 to shareholders of record on June 30, 2017.
