Interparfums, Inc. reported net sales of $430 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, which remained flat compared to the prior year period. For the first nine months of the year, the company recorded total net sales of $1.115 billion, representing a 1% increase compared to $1.102 billion in the same period in 2025. The company operates through two segments: European based operations and United States based operations.
Sales for European based operations totaled $306 million in the third quarter, a 4% increase compared to the prior year. This growth was driven by organic growth of 3% and a 1% contribution from new brands, partially offset by a 1% foreign exchange headwind. In the United States, sales decreased by 7% to $127 million in the third quarter. The decline was attributed to supply chain disruptions that delayed the shipment of gift sets for select brands, representing approximately $10 million in sales that will be recognized in the fourth quarter. Excluding this impact, U.S. sales would have been flat.
Within the European segment, Coach fragrance sales rose 23% in the third quarter, while Montblanc fragrance sales increased 12% after flat performance in the second quarter. Jimmy Choo fragrance sales grew 1% in the third quarter, and Lacoste fragrance sales returned to growth, rising 4% driven by the Original Intense launch. In the United States, GUESS fragrance sales increased 3% in the third quarter, while Donna Karan/DKNY and Ferragamo fragrance sales declined 9% and 22%, respectively, due to innovation phasing and shipment delays.
The company noted that the ongoing war in the Middle East represented a headwind of 1% in the third quarter and 2% for the first nine months. Foreign exchange rates also impacted results, with a 0.4% loss in the third quarter and a 1.5% gain for the first nine months. Interparfums plans to release its full financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, and will host a conference call on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at 11:00 am ET.
