Net Sales Grow 2% for Interparfums in Q2, H1 2026

Net sales for Happi International Top 30 Company Interparfums Inc grew 2% for both the second quarter and H1 of 2026.

Net sales rose to $341 million from $334 the prior-year quarter for the three months ended June 30, and to $686 million from $673 million from the prior-year H1, the six months ended June 30.

Jean Madar, chairman & CEO of Interparfums, said the results reflect the benefits of a diversified brand portfolio, the continued strength of the global fragrance category, and steady consumer demand.

“Despite certain geopolitical and regional pressures, we delivered top-line growth, benefited from strong performance by several of our top brands, and further improved our robust financial position,” he said. “At the same time, we continued to invest in product initiatives and advertising and promotion that position us well for the balance of the year and beyond.”

Expanded Portfolio

During H1 2026, consolidated net sales increased 2%, supported by growth in North America, Asia/Pacific and Central and South America. Sales in North America, the company’s largest market, rose 5%, driven by ongoing market growth, new brand extensions, particularly for Coach, and effective marketing and advertising investments. Asia/Pacific sales increased 14% thanks to Coach and Montblanc brand initiatives, Guess sales expansion in Australia/New Zealand, and strong results from its new Korean affiliate after several years of uneven performance in that market. Central and South America sales rose 15% on the success of Coach’s women’s and men’s franchises and Montblanc’s Legend line.

Total growth was partially offset by a 7% decrease in Eastern Europe due to operational challenges in certain countries, which disproportionately impacted Lanvin and Lacoste, and a 24% decline in the Middle East and Africa due primarily to the ongoing war in the Middle East.

“By brand, first half 2026 sales grew across several of our key franchises and geographies,” said Madar. “For brands managed by our European based operations, Coach increased 10%, Jimmy Choo rose 8%, and Montblanc grew 6%. In contrast, Lacoste declined 16%, reflecting a high sales comparison in the prior year period and ongoing challenges in Eastern Europe. For brands managed by our United States-based operations, Guess grew 11%, Donna Karan/DKNY rose 12%, Ferragamo increased 17%, and Roberto Cavalli grew 8%.”

Interparfums continued to introduce new line extensions across its brand portfolio. During the second quarter, these included: Guess, Iconic Blue for men; Lacoste, L.12.12 Bleu for men; Ferragamo, Fiamma Assoluta for women; Rochas, Audace Le Parfum for women; MCM, Cozy Cat for men and women, and Roberto Cavalli, Marbleous Cypress for men and women.

Madar said the the company “remains on track” with major initiatives that will lay the groundwork for a series of blockbuster launches across its brand portfolio in 2027 and 2028.

Outlook

Interparfums maintains its 2026 outlook of $1.48 billion in sales and EPS of $4.85.
