Item 1. Business

General Business Development

Founded in 1982, we operate in the fragrance business, and manufacture, market and distribute a wide array of prestige fragrance, and fragrance related products. Our worldwide headquarters and the office of our wholly-owned United States subsidiaries, Jean Philippe Fragrances, LLC and Interparfums, USA LLC, are located at 551 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10176, and our telephone number is 212.983.2640. We also have wholly-owned subsidiaries in Italy, subsidiary, Interparfums Italia Srl and Hong Kong, Inter Parfums USA Hong Kong Limited.

Our consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary, Inter Parfums Holdings, S.A., and its majority owned subsidiary, Interparfums SA, maintain executive offices at 10 rue de Solférino, 75007 Paris, France. Our telephone number in Paris is 331.5377.0000. Interparfums SA is the sole owner of Interparfums Luxury Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation, for distribution of prestige brands in the United States. Interparfums SA is also the majority owner of Parfums Rochas Spain, SL, a Spanish limited liability company, which specializes in the distribution of Rochas fragrances. In addition, Interparfums SA is also the sole owner of Interparfums (Suisse) Sarl, a company formed to hold and manage certain brand names, and Interparfums Asia Pacific Pte., Ltd., an Asian sales and marketing office.

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the trading symbol “IPAR”. The common shares of our subsidiary, Interparfums SA, are traded on the Euronext.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) maintains an internet site at http://www.sec.gov that contains financial reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

The following information is qualified in its entirety by and should be read together with the more detailed information and audited financial statements, including the related notes, contained or incorporated by reference in this report.

General

We operate in the fragrance business and manufacture, market and distribute a wide array of fragrance and fragrance related products. We manage our business in two segments, European based operations and United States based operations. Certain prestige fragrance products are produced and marketed by our European operations through our 72% owned subsidiary in Paris, Interparfums SA, which is also a publicly traded company as 28% of Interparfums SA shares trade on the Euronext.

Our business is not capital intensive, and it is important to note that we do not own manufacturing facilities. We act as a general contractor and source our needed components from our suppliers. These components are either received and stored directly at our third-party fillers or received at one of our distribution centers and then, based upon production needs, the components are sent to one of several third party fillers, which manufacture the finished product for us and then deliver them to one of our distribution centers.

1

Our fragrance products focus on prestige brands, each with a devoted following. By concentrating in markets where the brands are best known, we have had many successful product launches. We typically launch new fragrance families for our brands every few years, and more frequently seasonal and limited edition fragrances are introduced as well.

The creation and marketing of each product family is intimately linked with the brand’s name, its past and present positioning, customer base and, more generally, the prevailing market atmosphere. Accordingly, we generally study the market for each proposed family of fragrance products for almost a full year before we introduce any new product into the market. This study is intended to define the general position of the fragrance family and more particularly its scent, bottle, packaging and appeal to the buyer. In our opinion, the unity of these four elements of the marketing mix makes for a successful product.

As with any business, many aspects of our operations are subject to influences outside our control. We believe we have a strong brand portfolio with global reach and potential. As part of our strategy, we plan to continue to make investments in fast-growing markets and channels to grow market share. We discuss in greater detail risk factors relating to our business in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and the reports that we file from time to time with the SEC.

European Operations

We produce and distribute our fragrance products primarily under license agreements with brand owners, and fragrance product sales through our European operations represented approximately 68% of net sales for 2022. We have built a portfolio of prestige brands, which include Boucheron, Coach, Jimmy Choo, Karl Lagerfeld, Kate Spade, Lanvin, Moncler, Montblanc, Rochas, S.T. Dupont and Van Cleef & Arpels, whose products are distributed in over 120 countries around the world. European operations will also become the exclusive worldwide licensee for Lacoste fragrances on January 1, 2024.

United States Operations

Prestige brand fragrance products are also produced and marketed through our United States operations, and represented approximately 32% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2022. These fragrance products are sold under trademarks owned by us or pursuant to license or other agreements with the owners of brands, which include Abercrombie & Fitch, Anna Sui, Dunhill, Donna Karan, DKNY, Ferragamo, Graff, GUESS, Hollister, MCM, Oscar de la Renta and Ungaro.

Recent Developments

Lacoste

In December 2022, we closed a transaction agreement with Lacoste, whereby an exclusive and worldwide license was granted to Interparfums SA for the production and distribution of Lacoste brand perfumes and cosmetics. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. The license becomes effective in January 2024 and will last for 15 years.

Dunhill

In April 2022, we announced that the Dunhill fragrance license will expire on September 30, 2023 and will not be renewed. The Company will continue to produce and sell Dunhill fragrances until the license expires and will maintain the right to sell-off remaining Dunhill fragrance inventory for a limited time as is customary in the fragrance industry.

2

Salvatore Ferragamo

In October 2021, we closed on a transaction agreement with Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A., whereby an exclusive and worldwide license was granted for the production and distribution of Ferragamo brand perfumes. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. The license became effective in October 2021 and will last for 10 years with a 5-year optional term, subject to certain conditions.

With respect to the management and coordination of activities related to the license agreement, the Company operates through a wholly-owned Italian subsidiary based in Florence, that was acquired from Salvatore Ferragamo on October 1, 2021. The acquisition together with the license agreement was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

Emanuel Ungaro

In October 2021, we also entered into a 10-year exclusive global licensing agreement with a 5-year optional term subject to certain conditions, with Emanuel Ungaro Italia S.r.l, for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances and fragrance-related products, under the Emanuel Ungaro brand. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry.

Donna Karan and DKNY

In September 2021, we entered into a long-term global licensing agreement for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances and fragrance-related products under the Donna Karan and DKNY brands. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. With this agreement, we are gaining several well-established and valuable fragrance franchises, most notably Donna Karan Cashmere Mist and DKNY Be Delicious, as well as a significant loyal consumer base around the world. In connection with the grant of license, we issued 65,342 shares of Inter Parfums, Inc. common stock valued at $5.0 million to the licensor. The exclusive license became effective on July 1, 2022, and we are planning to launch new fragrances under these brands in 2024.

Rochas Fashion

Effective January 1, 2021, we entered into a new license agreement modifying our Rochas fashion business model. The new agreement calls for a reduction in royalties to be received. As a result, in the first quarter of 2021, we took a $2.4 million impairment charge on our Rochas fashion trademark. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we again took a $6.8 million impairment charge on the Rochas fashion trademark after an independent expert concluded that the valuation of the trademark was $11.3 million. The new license also contains an option for the licensee to buy-out the Rochas fashion trademarks in June 2025 at its then fair market value.

Fragrance Products

General

We are the owner of the Rochas brand, and the Lanvin brand name and trademark for our class of trade. In addition, we have built a portfolio of licensed prestige brands whereby we produce and distribute our prestige fragrance products under license agreements with brand owners. Under license agreements, we obtain the right to use the brand name, create new fragrances and packaging, determine positioning and distribution, and market and sell the licensed products, in exchange for the payment of royalties. Our rights under license agreements are also generally subject to certain minimum sales requirements and advertising expenditures as are customary in our industry.

As a percentage of net sales, product sales for the Company’s largest brands were as follows:

|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |

In connection with such amendment, we also granted a license to the seller to develop and sell cosmetics other than fragrances.

Fragrance Portfolio

Abercrombie & Fitch— In 2014, we entered into a worldwide license to create, produce and distribute new fragrances and fragrance related products under the Abercrombie & Fitch brand name. We distribute these fragrances in specialty stores, department stores and duty free shops, and in the U.S., in select Abercrombie & Fitch retail stores. Our initial men’s scent, First Instinct was launched in 2016 followed by a women’s version in 2017. Since that time, we unveiled several new fragrances most notably the Authentic and Away duos as well as brand extensions.

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. is a leading, global, omnichannel specialty retailer of apparel and accessories for men, women and kids. The iconic Abercrombie & Fitch brand was born in 1892 and aims to make every day feel as exceptional as the start of a long weekend.

Anna Sui—In 2011, we entered into an exclusive worldwide fragrance license to create, produce and distribute fragrances and fragrance related products under the Anna Sui brand. Anna Sui is one of New York’s most accomplished fashion designers known for creating contemporary clothing inspired by vintage style that capture the brand’s very sweet feminine girly aspect, combined with a touch of hipness and rock-and-roll. Today, Anna Sui has over 50 boutiques and her collection and products are sold in 300 stores in over 30 countries, but her brand is by far most popular and well received throughout Asia. Over the past decade, we have worked in partnership with Anna Sui and her creative team to build upon the brand’s customer appeal and develop and market a family of fragrances including Fantasia, Sui Dreams and the newest scent, Sky, which was ranked as the second best perfume launch of 2021 by WWD Japan.

Boucheron— In 2010, we entered into an exclusive 15-year worldwide license agreement for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances and fragrance related products under the Boucheron brand. For over a century, since becoming the first jeweler to open a boutique on Place Vendôme in 1893, Boucheron has embodied very high-end creation, luxury and French know-how. The mysterious and seductive collection of Boucheron fragrances unquestionably continues this prestigious line of creations.

Boucheron’s legacy scents, Femme and Homme, and the legendary Jaipur perfume form the foundation of brand sales. Our team has enriched the portfolio with Quatre for men and women, along with several special editions, a growing collection of unique scents aptly named, La Collection, and Serpent Bohème. During 2022, we introduced a new men’s fragrance, Boucheron Singulier, as well as still another addition to our Boucheron Collection. Currently, Boucheron operates through several boutiques worldwide as well as an e-commerce site.

Coach— In 2015, we entered into an exclusive 11-year worldwide license to create, produce and distribute new men’s and women’s fragrances and fragrance related products under the Coach brand name. We distribute these fragrances globally to department stores, specialty stores and duty free shops, as well as in Coach retail stores.

Founded in 1941, Coach is the ultimate American leather goods brand and has always been renowned for its quality craftsmanship. Now the luxury brand that best embodies New York’s casual elegance, Coach also offers collections of ready-to-wear, lifestyle accessories and fragrances. Its contemporary approach to luxury combines authenticity and innovation, exported worldwide thanks to its thoroughly American non-conformist vision.

In 2016, we launched our first Coach fragrance, a women’s signature scent, and in 2017, a men’s scent, both of which became and remain top selling prestige fragrances. Subsequent flankers and extensions have enlarged the Coach fragrance enterprise as have entirely new collections, including Coach Dreams which debuted in early 2020, and its sister scent, Dreams Sunset, which debuted in 2021. For 2022, we unveiled Coach Wild Rose, and Coach Open Road, a new fragrance for men. Coach is part of the Tapestry house of brands.

These global lifestyle brands will make excellent additions to our portfolio. With this agreement, we are gaining several well-established and valuable fragrance franchises, most notably Donna Karan Cashmere Mist and DKNY Be Delicious, as well as a significant loyal consumer base around the world. Upon joining our portfolio, these brands now rank among our largest. We are planning to launch new fragrances under these brands in 2024. Donna Karan and DKNY are part of the G-III house of brands.

Its unique style is expressed through unquestioning sensuality, purity of silhouette, flamboyant prints, and exquisite attention to details. Season after season, Emanuel Ungaro dared to be different, combining unexpected yet sensual clashes of bright colors and prints with beautiful draping. Today Ungaro fragrances uphold the same values of audacity and elegance, and the brand is best known and most prized internationally, and such presence will remain our sales focus as we continue to produce and distribute the brand’s legacy scents, notably Diva. Beginning in 2023, we plan to unveil a Diva brand extension.

Graff— In 2018, we entered into an exclusive, 8-year worldwide license agreement with London-based Graff for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances under the Graff brand. The agreement has three 3-year automatic renewal options, potentially extending the license until December 31, 2035.

Since Laurence Graff OBE founded the company in 1960, Graff has been dedicated to sourcing and crafting diamonds and gemstones of untold beauty and rarity and transforming them into spectacular pieces of jewelry that move the heart and stir the soul. Throughout its rich history, Graff has become the world leader for diamonds of rarity, magnitude and distinction. Each jewelry creation is designed and manufactured in Graff’s London atelier, where master craftsmen employ techniques to emphasize the beauty of each individual stone. The company remains a family business, overseen by Francois Graff, Chief Executive Officer.

For Graff, a six-scent collection for women, Lesedi La Rona, debuted exclusively at Harrods beginning in March 2020, which we further extended through 2020 as a result of the mandatory store closings throughout that year. In 2021, a select market rollout began in the Middle East, with limited luxury distribution to only the most exclusive, upmarket retail outlets. In 2021 and 2022, we added two new scents to the Lesedi La Rona collection.

In 2019, we began shipments of 1981 Los Angeles and Seductive Noir, both flankers of established scents, which accelerated brand growth.

Nearly three years in the making, our first new blockbuster scent, Bella Vita, debuted for the GUESS brand both domestically and internationally in 2021. In addition, Effect, a new men’s grooming line and fragrance collection was launched in 2021. Uomo, a new men’s fragrance for GUESS, came to market in 2022 with a flanker debuting in 2023.

Karl Lagerfeld— In 2012, we entered into a 20-year worldwide license agreement with Karl Lagerfeld B.V., the internationally renowned haute couture fashion house, to create, produce and distribute fragrances under the Karl Lagerfeld brand.

Under the creative direction of the late Karl Lagerfeld, one of the world’s most influential and iconic designers, the Lagerfeld Portfolio represents a modern approach to distribution, an innovative digital strategy and a global 360 degree vision that reflects the designer’s own style and soul. Karl Lagerfeld created the first fragrance that bears his name in 1978, and that legacy has expanded to include several growing multi-scent collections, Les Parfums Matières and more recently, Karl Cities, a new collection featuring entries for New York, Paris, Hamburg, Tokyo and Vienna was unveiled.

Lanvin fragrances occupy an important position in the selective distribution market in France, Eastern Europe and Asia, and we have several lines currently in distribution, including Éclat d’Arpège, Lanvin L’Homme, Jeanne Lanvin, Modern Princess and A Girl in Capri. The Éclat d’Arpège line accounts for almost 50% of brand sales. Les Fleurs de Lanvin, a new floral fragrance collection, was released during the second half of 2021.

MCM— In 2019, we entered into an exclusive, 10-year worldwide license agreement with German luxury fashion house MCM for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances and fragrance related products under the MCM brand. The agreement has a 4-year automatic renewal option, potentially extending the license until December 31, 2034.

Moncler— In June 2020, we entered into an exclusive, 5-year worldwide license agreement with a potential 5-year extension with Moncler for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances under the Moncler brand. Moncler was founded at Monestier-de-Clermont, Grenoble, France, in 1952 and is currently headquartered in Italy. Over the years, the brand has combined style with constant technological research assisted by experts in activities linked to the world of the mountain. The Moncler outerwear collections marry the extreme demands of nature with those of city life.

Our first fragrance for the Moncler brand has a revolutionary LED design, and the flask-shaped bottles of Moncler Pour Femme and Moncler Pour Homme forge a powerful bond with the House Moncler’s alpine roots and pioneering spirit. This playful and unique innovation enables its owner to write a personalized note that scrolls in red letters on the screen of the mirror bottle. Our first fragrance was pre-launched in 250 select outlets in the second half of 2021, and was met with an excellent response. The rollout to approximately 3,000 doors took place during 2022. Moncler will also launch a new collection in Q1 2023.

Montblanc—In 2010, we entered into an exclusive license agreement to create, develop and distribute fragrances and fragrance related products under the Montblanc brand. In 2015, we extended the agreement which now runs through December 31, 2025.

Montblanc has achieved a world-renowned position in the luxury segment and has become a purveyor of exclusive products, which reflect today’s exacting demands for timeless design, tradition and master craftsmanship. Through its leadership positions in writing instruments, watches and leather goods, promising growth outlook in women’s jewelry, international retail footprint through its network of more than 600 boutiques, high standards of product design and quality, Montblanc has grown to be our largest fragrance brand.

In 2011, we launched our first new Montblanc fragrance, Legend, which quickly became our best-selling men’s line and has given rise to a plethora of flankers including Legend Night and Legend Spirit. In 2014, we launched our second men’s line, Emblem and like its predecessor, Emblem gave rise to brand extensions. In 2019, we unveiled Montblanc Explorer, which has added flankers, most recently Montblanc Explorer Ultra Blue. The Legend continues, as in 2022, we introduced a new flanker, Montblanc Legend Red. For 2023, extensions for the Montblanc signature scent for women and Explorer line for men are in the pipeline.

Oscar de la Renta— In 2013, we entered into an exclusive worldwide license to create, produce and distribute fragrances and fragrance related products under the Oscar de la Renta brand. In 2019, the agreement was extended through December 31, 2031, with an additional five-year option potentially extending the agreement through December 31, 2036. After taking over distribution of the brand’s legacy fragrances in 2014, we introduced Extraordinary the following year. Oscar de la Renta Bella Blanca debuted in 2018, followed by Bella Rosa and Bella Essence and soon to join them, Bella Bouquet.

Rochas— In 2015, we acquired the Rochas brand from The Procter & Gamble Company. Founded by Marcel Rochas in 1925, the brand began as a fashion house and expanded into perfumery in the 1950s under Hélène Rochas’ direction.

Our first new fragrance for Rochas, Mademoiselle Rochas, had a successful launch in 2017 in its traditional markets of France and Spain. Over the next few years, we debuted flankers for legacy scents Eau de Rochas and Mademoiselle Rochas, plus others, and in 2018 we launched our first new men’s line, Rochas Moustache. Byzance debuted in early 2020 and Rochas Girl in 2021, and the first flanker for both came to market in 2022 as well as one for L’Homme Rochas.

Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A. is the parent company of the Salvatore Ferragamo Group, one of the world’s leaders in the luxury industry and whose origins date back to 1927. Named after its founder, the brand still represents and lives by the original values of Salvatore Ferragamo.

The current fragrance lineup includes Storie di Seta, a collection of four refined, luminous olfactory works of art. Each fragrance is made with rare, sustainable raw materials, and can be worn alone or in combination, creating a personalized multifaceted scent.

Established scents in the Ferragamo portfolio include Ferragamo, a collection of fragrances for men, Signoria, a collection of fragrances for women, the Tuscan Creations series, the Amo series and the Uomo series. New flankers are in the works for 2023 and 2024 with a major new pillar in the works for 2025.

S.T. Dupont— In 1997, we signed an exclusive worldwide license agreement with S.T. Dupont for the creation, manufacture and distribution of S.T. Dupont fragrances.

Business Strategy

Focus on prestige beauty brands. Prestige beauty brands are expected to contribute significantly to our growth. We focus on developing and launching quality fragrances utilizing internationally renowned brand names. By identifying and concentrating in the most receptive market segments and territories where our brands are known, and executing highly targeted launches that capture the essence of the brand, we have had a history of successful launches. Certain fashion designers and other licensors choose us as a partner, because our Company’s size enables us to work more closely with them in the product development process as well as our successful track record.

Grow portfolio brands through new product development and marketing. We grow through the creation of fragrance family extensions within the existing brands in our portfolio. We regularly create a new family of fragrances for each brand in our portfolio. We frequently introduce seasonal and limited edition fragrances as well. With new introductions, we leverage our ability and experience to gauge trends in the market and further leverage the brand name into different product families in order to maximize sales and profit potential. We have had success in introducing new fragrance families (sub-brands, flanker brands or flankers) within our brand franchises. Furthermore, we promote the performance of our prestige fragrance operations through knowledge of the market, detailed analysis of the image and potential of each brand name, and a highly professional approach to international distribution channels.

Continue to add new brands to our portfolio, through new licenses or acquisitions. Prestige brands are the core of our business, and we intend to add new prestige beauty brands to our portfolio. Over the past 35 years, we have built our portfolio of well-known prestige brands through acquisitions and new license agreements. We intend to further build on our success in prestige fragrances and pursue new licenses and acquire new brands to strengthen our position in the prestige beauty market. To that end, in 2020, we signed a new license for the Moncler brand. We also acquired a minority interest in Divabox, which owns the Origines-parfums online platform. As a website of reference for all selective fragrance brands, Origines-parfums is a key French player in the online beauty market recognized for its customer relationship expertise. This acquisition enhances the introduction of dedicated fragrance lines and products designed to address a specific consumer demand for this distribution channel and accelerate our digital development. During 2021, we closed on a transaction agreement with Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A., whereby an exclusive and worldwide license was granted for the production and distribution of Ferragamo brand perfumes. In 2021, we also entered into a long-term global licensing agreement for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances and fragrance-related products under the Donna Karan and DKNY brands. This exclusive license became effective in July 2022. During 2022, we closed a transaction agreement with Lacoste, whereby an exclusive and worldwide license was granted to Interparfums SA for the production and distribution of Lacoste brand perfumes and cosmetics. As of December 31, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $256 million, which we believe should assist us in entering new brand licenses or outright acquisitions. We identify prestige brands that can be developed and marketed into a full and varied product families and, with our technical knowledge and practical experience gained over time, take licensed brand names through all phases of concept, development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution.

Expand existing portfolio into new categories. We selectively broaden our product offering beyond the fragrance category and offer other fragrance related products and personal care products under some of our existing brands. We believe such product offerings meet customer needs, generate trial and further strengthen customer loyalty.

Continue to build global distribution footprint. Our business is a global business, and we intend to continue to build our global distribution footprint. In order to adapt to changes in the environment and our business, in addition to our arrangements with third party distributors globally, we are operating distribution subsidiaries or divisions in the major markets of the United States, France, Italy and Spain for distribution of prestige fragrances. We may look into future joint arrangements or acquire distribution companies within other key markets to distribute certain of our prestige brands. While building a global distribution footprint is part of our long-term strategy, we may need to make certain decisions based on the short-term needs of the business. We believe that in certain markets, vertical integration of our distribution network may be one of the keys to future growth of our Company, and ownership of such distribution should enable us to better serve our customers’ needs in local markets and adapt more quickly as situations may determine.

Suppliers’ accounts for our European operations are primarily settled in euro and for our United States operations, suppliers’ accounts are primarily settled in U.S. dollars. For our European operations components for our prestige fragrances are purchased from many suppliers around the world and are primarily manufactured in France.

For United States operations, components for our prestige fragrances are sourced from many suppliers around the world and are primarily manufactured in the United States and Italy. Additionally, we occasionally utilize third party manufacturers in China and Turkey.

Environmental, Social & Governance

Both our U.S. operations and our European operations are good corporate citizens and take our responsibilities seriously. We comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in general, and in particular with regard to chemicals and hazardous materials. Throughout our supply chain, from procurement of components to distribution of finished products, we act responsibly and monitor and comply with all legal requirements. While we do not own our manufacturing facilities, we set a high bar with our industrial partners by placing an emphasis on quality, the use of good manufacturing practices and innovation, and encouraging them to build strong ESG programs of their own. Like many of our industry competitors, we are applying a multifunctional and comprehensive approach in addressing the issues of corporate, environmental and social responsibility and transparency, building off the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our European Operations have led the way on this initiative, but our US operations are actively catching up.

European Operations

Interparfums SA, our European operations with their headquarters in Paris, has made further progress in the areas of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) based on the results of the 2022 campaign of the rating agency Gaïa Research1 which ranks the top performing companies in this area.

Campaign for Fiscal Year | 2020 for Fiscal 2019 | 2021 for Fiscal 2020 | 2022 for Fiscal Year 2021
ESG Rating | 69/100 | 76/100 | 81/100

This score is calculated on the basis of 140 criteria divided into 4 pillars: Environmental, Social, Governance and External Stakeholders.

Interparfums SA applies a comprehensive approach in addressing the issues of corporate, environmental and social responsibility and transparency. It has developed from one year to the next its corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) policy, implemented by its Operational and Support Departments by involving all personnel, and has identified issues to be addressed in three key areas: its responsibilities toward operational stakeholders, staff and the company. Social and societal values have been an important component of Interparfums SA’s development for a number of years, exemplified notably by an attractive policy of employee benefits and solid relations with its partners.

In October 2022, Interparfums SA announced that it had retained the services of Muriel Buiatti, as its CSR Project Manager to assist the CSR Executive Committee in achieving its goals. A graduate of the French Engineering School, Ecole Polytechnique, Ms. Buiatti exercised various responsibilities, including research and development, at L’Oréal for 13 years. After completing her Master’s Degree in Sustainable Development, she founded Commenterre, which specializes in helping companies address their CSR issues.

1 Gaïa Research, a member of the EthiFinance Group is an extra-financial rating agency specializing in rating the ESG performance of small and midsize companies and mid-cap companies listed on European markets.

To support its strategy, at the beginning of 2021 and at the initiative of management, Interparfums SA created an CSR Executive Committee, consisting of members of the Operations & Supply Chain, Human Resources, Legal Affairs and Communications teams, tasked with formalizing the company’s CSR strategy focusing on the following priorities, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals:

| - | reinforce its status as a responsible employer, by notably creating a “Responsible Employer Charter” and strengthening the employee training plan;

| - | reduce its environmental footprint, notably by adopting environmentally optimized design specifications to reduce packaging and the introduction of recycled and recyclable materials for each product developed;

| - | strengthen its sustainable development approach by formalizing a code of business conduct and ethics that is enforceable against operational stakeholders.

Environmental

Interparfums SA does not own its own manufacturing facilities, having chosen to support its industrial partners by placing an emphasis on quality, the use of good manufacturing practices and innovation. The construction of a high quality environmentally certified warehouse in 2011 and sourcing in Europe more than 80% of its needs highlight the efforts undertaken in recent years. In addition, reflecting the stakes in terms of protecting the planet, Interparfums SA now intends to also exercise an increasingly active role in contributing to the environment.

As part of its CSR strategy, Interparfums SA has partnered with EcoVadis to assess the CSR performance of its supply chain and suppliers. EcoVadis operates a global platform to assess corporate social responsibility and share performance data using their assessment method based on international CSR standards.

In 2022, 119 suppliers were evaluated or were in the process of being evaluated, representing over 68% of Interparfums SA’s procurement activity. As part of a continuous improvement process, Interparfums SA’s objective will be to monitor and encourage the CSR performance of its suppliers in four major areas: the environment, social and human rights, ethics and responsible procurement.

EcoVadis assessment results:

Number of suppliers evaluated | Average EcoVadis score | Average Environmental score | Average Labor and Human Rights score | Average Ethics score | Average Sustainable Procurement score
91 | 66.7 | 69.5 | 66.9 | 60.7 | 65.3

In addition, in 2022, Interparfums SA has calculated its total carbon footprint in accordance with international standards, and namely the Green House Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) for the conversion of all emission sources into tons of CO2 equivalent and the Base Carbone®, a public database of emission factors made available by the French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME).

2021 Carbon footprint: 174,930 tCO2e

| - | 2021 Carbon intensity: 312 KgCO2e per € thousand of revenue (in the low range of our industry)

13

In tons CO2 equivalent |  | 2021 |  |  | Weight |
Scope 1 (gas and fuel energy consumption) |  |  | 226 |  |  |  | 0,1 | %
Scope 2 (electricity consumption) |  |  | 29 |  |  |  | 0,0 | %
Scope 3 (other indirect emissions) |  |  | 174,675 |  |  |  | 99,9 | %
Total |  |  | 174,930 |  |  |  | 100,0 | %

This first measurement is a crucial step before determining a low carbon trajectory in accordance with the European green deal regulation which aims to be climate-neutral by 2050.

Moreover, Interparfums SA complies with IS 22716, International Standards for Good Manufacturing Practices, with all aspects of the manufacturing process, including receiving of raw materials and packaging materials, production and quality control. In this regulatory environment, regular audit campaigns are carried out for all packaging plants by the quality department based on the ISO 22716 standard in place. The ultimate purpose of these audits is to ensure that packaging service providers maintain a good level of traceability for their activities. All plant activities were reviewed: receiving process for raw materials and packaging materials, manufacturing, packaging and quality controls. These reports demonstrated that Interparfums SA’s subcontractors comply with ISO 22716 Good Manufacturing Practices and in particular, traceability requirements for all perfume production operations. It is also in compliance with the EU directive entitled Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (“REACH”), which governs and regulates the safe use of chemicals. Although not a manufacturer, per se, Interparfums SA has taken the initiative and monitors its suppliers for compliance with REACH, and has commitments from each of them concerning “Substances of Very High Concern” as listed in appendix XIV of REACH. No supplier of Interparfums SA has advised it of any such hazardous materials in any of its products to date.

Interparfums SA monitors the outsourcing of the entire production process of its manufacturing partners with expertise and accountable leadership in their respective areas. These include producers of juice, glass, caps and cardboard boxes and packaging companies. We take environmental issues into account at each of these phases, and in particular regarding the choice of materials used for components, waste management and reducing the carbon footprint. Moreover, all the alcohol used by Interparfums SA is from vegetal origin (essentially from beets).

Sustainability & The Environment

At every stage of the purchasing process, Interparfums SA seeks to determine the precise needs and considers the requirement of limiting sources of unnecessary costs and a waste of resources:

| - | reducing waste, in particular at the phases of production, consumption and the end of the product life;

| - | recycling flawed production, notably at the production phase;

| - | repairing palettes to increase their lifespan.

Interparfums SA regularly monitors energy and water consumption indicators to assess possibilities for improving energy efficiencies in the area of lighting, heating and air-conditioning for the entire warehousing site, for example by adjusting ventilation flows and using a program that reduces heating and ventilation over weekends.

With this objective, measures are planned to automatically turn off lights in the warehouse when employees are taking outside breaks and maintain the warehouse temperature at 11°C (51°Fahrenheit). These energy savings initiatives include measures providing for managing the hours for reloading the electric forklifts during non-peak hours during the night, requiring low consumption for a maximum of 280,000 kW instead of 600,000 kW during the day. Monthly reports on electricity consumption are prepared, allowing the company to analyze the causes for overconsumption, when applicable, in order to take corrective actions as applicable. The measurement of energy consumption highlighted stable levels for electricity and gas over the last four years, whereas water consumption has on average declined marginally. Finally, in the spirit of contributing to protecting the environment, the company has installed parking places at the logistic site for bicycles and electric recharging stations for cars.

By strategically locating its warehouse at the crossroads for its subcontractors, Interparfums SA has reduced distances for shipments of finished products.

Measures undertaken in collaboration with the warehouse and trade goods shipping manager, within the framework of the improvement and optimization of shipments between production sites and the logistics platform have contributed to reducing the number of back-and-forth trips for trucks.

15

In the area of transport to distributors, Interparfums SA uses road transport for France and Europe and maritime transport for the Americas, Asia and the Middle East. Use of air transport is very limited and reserved only for urgent situations where no other solutions are available. Certain promotional materials manufactured in Asia are shipped directly to American distributors without being imported and stored in France.

In addition, in 2018 Interparfums SA put into service a new warehouse located in Singapore to promote the use of short channels within the Asia Pacific region. This warehouse makes it possible to maintain a permanent inventory in this region and, in this way, encourages the use of maritime transport for goods shipped from France to Asia.

Measures to prevent environmental risks and pollution involve firstly the choice of techniques and materials.

To reduce the impacts of its activities, a water-soluble solution in part biodegradable that does not harm the environment is used in the coloring of some of its bottles. For the remainder of the product lines, the coating process provides for the gradual elimination of solvent-based coatings and the progressive adoption of hydro-coating for all the company’s products, in compliance with the law of 2005 for reducing emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in the air. In addition, certain sub-contractors for glass making have electrostatic air filters to reduce dust and smoke emissions in addition to wastewater recycling.

Interparfums SA has, in addition, eliminated thermosetting plastics from its line of bath and body care products in favor of recyclable plastic.

To balance product quality and aesthetics with environmental considerations, Interparfums SA takes care to reduce packaging volumes and select the appropriate materials at each stage of production to ensure optimal conditions for their recycling or disposal.

The manufacture of recyclable glass bottles includes a system for the recovery, crushing and remolding the waste. Indicators in place since 2013 for tracking wastage have improved Interparfums SA’s ability to monitor wastage rates by glass bottle decorators. Its first objective is to apply a continuous improvement approach and reduce rates of wastage over the long term. The second objective is to succeed in reducing this wastage and reintroduce bottles back into the manufacturing cycle.

In addition, Interparfums SA has adopted procedures for recovering waste from subcontractors originating from surplus production or components of discontinued products. The recovered waste is then sorted for the purpose of their elimination.

Interparfums SA has also revised the bulk and secondary packaging (product boxes and perfume sets) in order to optimize the palletizing process, reduce the purchase of cardboard packaging materials and reduce volumes transported by decreasing the amount of empty space. The company henceforth requires a minimum number of palettes per truck.

Finally, cardboard packaging materials for testers are 100% recyclable.

United States Operations

In the U.S. we are also a good corporate citizen. Like our French subsidiary, Interparfums USA also retained Muriel Buiatti to advise and guide us on our path to become a better corporate citizen, as we attempt to increase our efforts in ESG. Also, like our French subsidiary, we are also not a true manufacturer, but we regularly monitor our subcontractors, suppliers and fillers for their compliance. In addition, our subcontractors and fillers are subject to inspection and audit from our various licensors for compliance with all aspects of law.

Environmental

In connection with a new product launch in 2023, Hollister Feelin’ Good, this new fragrance highlights our ESG efforts we made in 2022:

| ● | Glass containing 10% PCR (post-consumer recycled) glass, and is 100% recyclable.

| ● | Our folding cartons meet the requirements of SFI, the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, and are 100% recyclable.

| ● | Liners are 100% recyclable.

| ● | All components sourced from North/South America – closer supply chain for Hollister brand fragrances and are filled and warehoused in the United States.

In addition, all folding cartons for all licensed brands in United States operations now consist of FSC, the Forest Stewardship Council, or SFI certified paper. We are also making efforts to regionally source components to filling and warehousing locations where practicable in order to lessen shipping and thereby lower energy costs. For 2023 most giftsets will be reduced in format and size, and we have eliminated plastic from the following branded gift sets completely, Abercrombie & Fitch, Donna Karan, DKNY, Hollister, MCM and Oscar de la Renta.

Our largest filler in the United States has been awarded Bronze status in 2022 from EcoVadis. One of our largest pump manufacturers is the recipient of a 2021 Gold Medal from EcoVadis for Sustainability and a 2020 Bronze Medal from EcoVadis for its corporate social responsibility rating, and a large glass bottle manufacturer was awarded gold metals from EcoVadis for its corporate social responsibility rating two years in a row. In addition in 2021, a large glass bottle manufacturer that we utilize received an “A” rating for leadership in corporate sustainability by CDP, a global environmental non-profit group, ranking ‘A’ for tackling water security and ‘A-’ for leading effort against climate change.

In our U.S. operations, we do not use any banned ingredients or components and use sustainable ingredients where practicable. Some componentry (glass/folding cartons) is also recyclable where practicable. For example, our Abercrombie & Fitch Away fragrance uses glass and folding cartons that are 100% recyclable, and the carton liner is 100% recyclable and biodegradable.

Lastly, our product development team works with our fragrance houses – all very sustainable in their own right – to incorporate sustainably sourced ingredients in the fragrance oils used.

18

In addition to our production operations complying with applicable law, our managers, supervisors and traffic coordinators in our New Jersey distribution center undergo training in order for us to comply with Dangerous Goods Regulations. Compliance requires training and certification to deal in hazardous materials to prevent damage to the environment. The two main certifications are:

International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Dangerous Goods Training – 3 year Certification for Ocean Shipment and International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Training – 2 year Certification for Global Air Shipments.

Further, our distribution center in New Jersey has in-rack sprinklers to accommodate our hazardous material products. Our fragrances, Class 9 – Consumer Commodity ID8000, are registered with American Chemistry Council, Inc. (known in the chemicals industry as Chemtrec). Chemtrec has a 24/7 hazardous materials emergency communications center, which provides immediate assistance for incidents involving hazardous materials of any kind.

Marketing and Distribution

Our products are distributed in over 120 countries around the world through a selective distribution network. For our international distribution, we either contract with independent distribution companies specializing in luxury goods or distribute prestige products through our distribution subsidiaries. In each country, we designate anywhere from one to three distributors on an exclusive basis for one or more of our name brands. We also distribute our products through a variety of duty free operators, such as airports and airlines and select vacation destinations.

As our business is a global one, we intend to continue to build our global distribution footprint. For the distribution of brands within our European based operations, we operate through our distribution subsidiaries or divisions in the major markets of the United States, France, Italy and Spain, in addition to our arrangements with third party distributors globally. Our third party distributors vary in size depending on the number of competing brands they represent. This extensive and diverse network together with our own distribution subsidiaries provides us with a significant presence in over 120 countries around the world.

Over 50% of our European based prestige fragrance net sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. We address certain financial exposures through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. We primarily enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

The business of our European operations has become increasingly seasonal due to the timing of shipments by our distribution subsidiaries and divisions to their customers, which are weighted to the second half of the year.

For our United States operations, we distribute products to retailers and distributors in the United States as well as internationally, including duty free and other travel-related retailers. We utilize our in-house sales team to reach our third party distributors and customers outside the United States. In addition, the business of our United States operations has become increasingly seasonal as shipments are weighted toward the second half of the year.

Competition

The market for prestige fragrance products is highly competitive and sensitive to changing preferences and demands. The prestige fragrance industry is highly concentrated around certain major players with resources far greater than ours. We compete with an original strategy, regular and methodical development of quality fragrances for a growing portfolio of internationally renowned brand names.

23

Inventory

We purchase raw materials and component parts from suppliers based on internal estimates of anticipated need for finished goods, which enables us to meet production requirements for finished goods. We generally ship products to customers within 72 hours of the receipt of their orders. Our business is not capital intensive, and it is important to note that we do not own manufacturing facilities. We act as a general contractor and source our needed components from our suppliers. These components are received at one of our distribution centers and then, based upon production needs, the components are sent to one of several third party fillers or directly to one of those third party fillers, which manufacture the finished products for us and then deliver them to one of our distribution centers.

Product Liability

Our United States operations maintain product liability coverage in an amount of $10.0 million, and our European operations maintain product liability coverage in an amount of €20 million (approximately $21 million). Based on our experience, we believe this coverage is adequate and covers substantially all of the exposure we may have with respect to our products. We have never been the subject of any material product liability claims.

Government Regulation

Under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, fragrance products are regulated as cosmetics, and fragrances include perfumes, colognes and aftershave. They must meet the same requirements for safety as other cosmetic ingredients. Compliance required of fragrance ingredients include being safe for consumers when they are used according to labeled directions or as consumers customarily use them.

Under the Fair Packaging and Labelling Act, companies and individuals who manufacture or market cosmetics have the legal responsibility to ensure the products are safe and labelled according to the Act.

Our fragrance products that are manufactured and marketed in Europe are also regulated as cosmetics and subject to EU Regulation 1223/2009, and after Brexit, the United Kingdom regulation of The UK Schedule 34 to the Product Safety and Metrology Regulation 2019. As of the date of this report, IP products are in compliance with these regulations.

Trademarks

The market for our products depends to a significant extent upon the value associated with our trademarks and brand names. We have licenses or other rights to use, or own, the material trademark and brand name rights used in connection with the packaging, marketing and distribution of our major products both in the United States and in other countries where such products are principally sold. Therefore, trademark and brand name protection are important to our business. Although most of the brand names we license, use or own are registered in the United States and in certain foreign countries in which we operate, we may not be successful in asserting trademark or brand name protection. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. The costs required to protect our trademarks and brand names may be substantial.

Under various licenses and other agreements, we have the right to use certain registered trademarks throughout the world for fragrance products. These registered trademarks include:

| ● | Abercrombie & Fitch

| ● | Anna Sui

| ● | bebe

| ● | Boucheron

| ● | Coach

24

| ● | Donna Karan and DKNY

| ● | Dunhill
| ● | Emanuel Ungaro

| ● | French Connection

| ● | Graff
| ● | GUESS

| ● | MCM

| ● | Moncler
| ● | Montblanc

| ● | Oscar de la Renta

| ● | Ferragamo
| ● | S.T. Dupont

| ● | Van Cleef & Arpels

In addition, we are the registered owner of several trademarks for fragrance and beauty products, including:

| ● | Rochas

| ● | Lanvin

| ● | Intimate

| ● | Aziza

United States Operations

Our employees are one of our most valuable assets, and fostering long-term relationships are beneficial to the continuity of our business. After experience and expertise in the respective fields of employment, we look for dedication and loyalty among our employees, as we believe having long-term staff members benefits our Company. All of our executive senior officers have been with us for more than twenty years (other than our CFO who just joined our company in September 2022), and we have several senior and upper-level staff members, who have also been with us long-term. These long-term executives and employees believe that our Company and their co-workers are an extended family and share the same values of entrepreneurship, commitment, creativity and passion. Their efforts and dedication are what allow our Company to prosper.

Every year, United States operations organizes two seminars over several days for all its global sales staff. This seminar provides an opportunity to present all the Company’s brands and products and marketing strategies.

The safety of our employees is of paramount importance to us. In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced brief closures at all of our locations, and adapted to working remotely. Upon reopening, we implemented prevention protocols to minimize the spread of COVID-19 in our workplaces. These protocols, which remain in place, are in compliance with the Centers for Disease Control guidelines and state requirements.

As part of our increasing benefits of working at our United States operations, we provide a comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, vision, long-term disability, accidental death and dismemberment insurance and life insurance, 401-K, commuter benefits), allow Friday remote working arrangements for our employees, have shorter hours on Fridays during the summer months, offer various gifts and “goodie bags” during various times of the year, have made available food choices for purchase in our lunchroom in New York from the “Fraîche fridge,” and hold quarterly presentations showing financial results, updates on all departments, existing product lines, as well as the development and launches of new products for all of our brands for all employees and consultants worldwide of United States operations so that all are made aware of our operations, and invite comments from those in attendance at the presentations.

European Operations

Interparfums SA’s employees constitute its most important contributor for creating value. For that reason, their professional fulfillment and motivation are indispensable drivers for our development.

With a family-style management culture that is close to its employees, everyone is free to share their ideas in a manner that respects the company’s values. Management attaches great importance to ensuring that each employee fully understands and supports Interparfums SA’s strategy.

Through weekly memos and regular information meetings on business developments and trends, employees are kept up-to-date on expectations of management and the market. The organization’s flexibility largely made up of small teams facilitates its continuous adaptation to all changes or evolving external conditions.

This sharing of the “Interparfums” spirit, also entails a commitment to and understanding of its ethical values by each employee, the fulfillment of employees at work and compliance with good working conditions. This ethical commitment is formalized by a “Code of Good Conduct” to which each employee subscribes, and that is focused in particular on health, safety, discipline, risk management, preventing harassment, respecting individual freedoms, sensitive transactions, fraud and business confidentiality.

In 2017, Interparfums SA adopted a Charter relating to the right to disconnect from digital devices that was accepted by each employee.

Every two to three years, Interparfums SA organizes a seminar over several days for all its distributors from throughout the world. This seminar provides an opportunity to present all the company’s brands and products, meet with all distributors and involve them in Interparfums SA’s development while giving the distributors an opportunity to meet with staff with whom they work closely on a daily basis.

The Human Resources Department pays particular attention to ensuring equal opportunity and non-discrimination for each recruitment. Only skills, experience, qualifications and the personality of the candidates are taken into account in the selection process for new employees. This diversity in terms of profiles, culture, age and gender constitutes a decisive strength of its teams, the company’s most important asset.

27

Women account for 72% of Interparfums’ workforce and 52% of management positions are occupied by women in 2021.

Since 2019, Interparfums SA has organized an annual disability awareness raising campaign. In 2021, employees were given an opportunity to participate role-playing workshop designed to give them a first-hand perspective of a person with a disability (hearing, visual, psychological, motor). Thanks to these opportunities for exchange, employees were able to talk about their all possible impediments and share their views and experiences.

Through these awareness-raising campaigns and local support from the Human Resources teams, two employees were accorded the status of employees with disabilities through a specific procedure available in France for that purpose (Reconnaissance de la Qualité de Travailleur Handicapé or RQTH).

Interparfums SA also participates indirectly in promoting the employment of persons with disabilities and combating exclusion discrimination. The company has chosen to use a sheltered work enterprise to package its perfume boxes and a global communications agency called “Les Papillons de Jour” to organize the European Week for the Employment of People with Disabilities (EWPD).

In 2021, the total cost for these services amounted to €974,094.

In addition, Interparfums SA has adopted action plans promoting the employment of seniors and equal opportunity between men and women.

Compensation and wage increases

Interparfums SA has a compensation policy as well as a system of job classifications and performance evaluations applied to all employees. These procedures guarantee the principle of fairness as well as equal treatment of men and women employees. All employees benefit from a combination of fixed and variable incentive compensation benefits linked to Interparfums SA’s performance.

Profit-sharing

As required by French law, a statutory employee profit-sharing agreement was implemented in 2001. In April 2015, this agreement was amended to provide more advantageous terms to employees, representing an important component of compensation and motivation for all staff and reviewed every year.

Savings plan and pension plan

All employees of Interparfums SA benefit from a company savings plan which proposes several types of funds corresponding to the specific projects of each. Since 2017, it has adapted its plan by proposing an Interparfums stock ownership fund allowing employees to take advantage of the growth of Interparfums’ shares under favorable tax conditions. The amounts employees pay into this fund are supplemented by an important contribution by the company.

In addition, a group retirement savings plan (Plan d’Epargne Retraite Collectif or PERCOL) is available to employees as a vehicle for preparing for their retirement and to which the company contributes significantly. Employees also can transfer a portion of their unused annual vacation days into the Interparfums SA retirement savings plan.

Supplemental defined contribution retirement plan contract (Article 83)

Management employees benefit from a supplemental defined-contribution retirement plan. Participation in this plan is mandatory. This individual plan is funded by monthly employee and employer contributions, with the breakdown of these latter contributions freely determined. Interparfums SA has decided to assist its employees in financing this supplemental retirement benefit, by assuming an important percentage of these contributions itself.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider these material risk factors before you decide to purchase or sell shares of our common stock. These factors could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements made by us. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

● | Fragrance Business, Brand Names and Intellectual Property

We are dependent upon the continuation and renewal of various licenses and other agreements for a significant portion of our sales, and the loss of one or more licenses or agreements could have a material adverse effect on us.

All of our rights relating to prestige fragrance brands, other than Lanvin and Rochas, are derived from licenses or other agreements from unaffiliated third parties, and our business is dependent upon the continuation and renewal of such licenses and other agreements on terms favorable to us. Each license or agreement is for a specific term and may have additional optional terms. Generally, each license is subject to us making required royalty payments (which are subject to certain minimums), minimum advertising and promotional expenditures and meeting minimum sales requirements. Other agreements are generally subject to meeting minimum sales requirements. Just as the loss of a license or other significant agreement may have a material adverse effect on us, a renewal on less favorable terms may also negatively impact us.

If we are unable to acquire or license additional brands or obtain the required financing for these agreements and arrangements, then the growth of our business could be impaired.

Our future expansion through acquisitions or new product licenses or distribution arrangements, if any, will depend upon the capital resources and working capital available to us. Further, we may be unable to obtain financing or credit that we may require for additional licenses, acquisitions or other transactions. We may be unsuccessful in identifying, negotiating, financing and consummating such acquisitions or arrangements on terms acceptable to us, or at all, which could hinder our ability to increase revenues and build our business. Just as the loss of a license or other significant agreement may have a material adverse effect on us, our failure to acquire rights to new brands may also negatively impact us.

We may engage in future acquisitions that we may not be able to successfully integrate or manage. These acquisitions may dilute our stockholders and cause us to incur debt and assume contingent liabilities.

We continuously review acquisition prospects that would complement our current product offerings, increase our size and geographic scope of operations or otherwise offer growth and operating efficiency opportunities. The financing, if available, for any of these acquisitions could significantly dilute our stockholders and/or result in an increase in our indebtedness. We may acquire or make investments in businesses or products in the future, and such acquisitions may entail numerous integration risks and impose costs on us, including:

| ● | difficulties in assimilating acquired operations or products, including the loss of key employees from acquired businesses

| ● | diversion of management’s attention from our core business

| ● | adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers

29

| ● | risks of entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience

| ● | dilutive issuances of equity securities

| ● | incurrence of substantial debt

| ● | assumption of contingent liabilities

| ● | incurrence of significant amortization expenses related to intangible assets and the potential impairment of acquired assets and

| ● | incurrence of significant immediate write-offs.

Our failure to successfully complete the integration of any acquired business could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Joint arrangements or strategic alliances in geographic markets in which we have limited, or no prior experience may expose us to additional risks.

We review, and from time to time may establish, arrangements and strategic alliances that we believe would complement our current product offerings, increase the size and geographic scope of our operations or otherwise offer growth and operating efficiency opportunities. These business relationships may require us to rely on the local expertise of our partners with respect to market development, sales, local regulatory compliance and other matters. Further, there may be challenges with ensuring that such arrangements or strategic alliances implement the appropriate internal controls to ensure compliance with the various laws and regulations applicable to us as a U.S. public company. Accordingly, in addition to commercial and operational risk, these arrangements and strategic alliances may entail risks such as reputational risk and regulatory compliance risk. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify suitable alliances or candidates, that we will be able to consummate any such alliances or arrangements on favorable terms, or that we will realize the anticipated benefits of entering into any such alliances or arrangements.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, specifically trademarks and brand names, our ability to compete could be negatively impacted.

The market for our products depends to a significant extent upon the value associated with trademarks and brand names that we license, use or own. We have licenses or other rights to use, or own the material trademark and brand name rights in connection with the packaging, marketing and distribution of our major products both in the United States and in other countries where such products are principally sold. Therefore, trademark and brand name protection are important to our business. Although most of the brand names we license, use or own are registered in the United States and in certain foreign countries in which we operate, we may not be successful in asserting trademark or brand name protection. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. The costs required to protect our trademarks and brand names may be substantial.

If our intangible assets, such as trademarks and licenses, become impaired, we may be required to record a significant non-cash charge to earnings which would negatively impact our results of operations.

Under United States generally accepted accounting principles, we review our intangible assets, including our trademarks and licenses, for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of our intangible assets may not be fully recoverable. The carrying value of our intangible assets may not be recoverable due to factors such as reduced estimates of future cash flows, including those associated with the specific brands to which intangibles relate, or slower growth rates in our industry. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a long-term financial outlook of our operations and the specific brands to which the intangible assets relate. However, actual performance in the near-term or long-term could be materially different from these forecasts, which could impact future estimates and the recorded value of the intangibles. Any significant impairment to our intangible assets would result in a significant charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which the impairment is determined to exist.

30

The illegal distribution and sale by third parties of counterfeit versions of the Company’s products or the unauthorized diversion by third parties of the Company’s products could have an adverse effect on the Company’s revenues and a negative impact on the Company’s reputation and business.

Third parties may illegally distribute and sell counterfeit versions of the Company’s products. These counterfeit products may be inferior in terms of quality and other characteristics compared to the Company’s authentic products and/or the counterfeit products could pose safety risks that the Company’s authentic products would not otherwise present to consumers. Consumers could confuse counterfeit products with the Company’s authentic products, which could damage or diminish the image, reputation and/or value of the Company’s brands and cause consumers to refrain from purchasing the Company’s products in the future. In addition, the sale of the Company’s prestige products through non-authorized “grey market” channels could damage or diminish the image, reputation and/or value of the Company’s brands and could adversely affect the Company’s revenues and have a negative impact on the Company’s reputation.

Our success depends on our ability to operate our business without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the trademarks, patents, copyrights and proprietary rights of other parties.

Our commercial success depends at least in part on our ability to operate without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the trademarks, patents, copyrights and other proprietary rights of others. However, we cannot be certain that the conduct of our business does not and will not infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate such rights. Many companies have employed intellectual property litigation as a way to gain a competitive advantage, and to the extent we gain greater visibility and market exposure, we may also face a greater risk of being the subject of such litigation. For these and other reasons, third parties may allege that our products, services or activities infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate their trademark, patent, copyright or other proprietary rights. Defending against allegations and litigation could be expensive, take significant time, divert management’s attention from other business concerns, and delay getting our products to market. In addition, if we are found to be infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating third party trademark, patent, copyright or other proprietary rights, we may need to obtain a license, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or redesign or rebrand our products, which may not be possible. We may also be required to pay substantial damages or be subject to a court order prohibiting us and our customers from selling certain products or engaging in certain activities. Our inability to operate our business without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the trademarks, patents, copyrights and proprietary rights of others could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

31

● | COVID-19 Pandemic and Economic Downturn

Although in both 2022 and 2021 we weathered the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects to date, if the pandemic reemerges, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The public health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, its variants and the measures being taken by governments, businesses, including us, our suppliers, our distributors, retailers and the public, to limit COVID-19’s spread, have had and we expect will continue to have, certain negative impacts on our business including, but not limited to, the following:

| ● | Deteriorating economic and political conditions in certain of our major markets affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as increased unemployment, decreases in disposable income, declines in consumer confidence, or economic slowdowns could cause a decrease in demand for our products.

| ● | We may be required to record significant impairment charges with respect to noncurrent assets, including trademarks, licenses and other intangible assets whose fair values may be negatively affected by the effects of re-emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations.

| ● | Considerable uncertainty remains regarding the potential re-emergence of COVID-19 variants, including potential reinstatement of measures by various authorities and others in response to any such re-emergence. As we continue to monitor potential COVID-19 variant developments, including the impacts on our consumers, customers and suppliers, we take further measures as necessary to protect our business and our employees. Some of the actions we take could adversely impact our business, and there is no certainty that our actions will be sufficient to mitigate the risks and the impacts of a re-emergence of COVID-19 variants.

| ● | Actions we may take, or decisions on potential actions that we did not take, as a consequence of a resurgence of a COVID-19 variant pandemic may result in claims or litigation against us.

Consumers may reduce discretionary purchases of our products as a result of a general economic downturn.

We believe that a high degree of global economic uncertainty could have a further negative effect on consumer confidence, demand and spending. In addition, we believe that consumer spending on beauty products is influenced by general economic conditions and the availability of discretionary income. Accordingly, we may experience sustained periods of declines in sales during periods of economic downturn as it may affect consumer purchasing patterns. In addition, a further general economic downturn may result in further reduced traffic in our customers’ stores which may, in turn, result in reduced net sales to our retail store customers. Any further material reduction in our sales could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

An outbreak of any other disease, epidemic or pandemic, or similar public health threat on the scope of COVID-19, could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

An outbreak of disease, epidemic or pandemic, or similar public threat on the scope of COVID-19, or fear of such an event, that negatively impacts consumer spending on our products could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results. The extent and potential short and long-term impact of any other pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, our customers’ willingness to travel and purchase our products, and the impact on our supply chain and the financial markets, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

32

● | Global Operations

We are subject to risks related to our foreign operations, and a disruption in our operations or supply chain could adversely affect our business and financial results.

We operate on a global basis, with a substantial portion of our net sales and net income generated outside the United States, and we anticipate for the foreseeable future that a substantial portion of our net sales and net income will be generated outside the United States. A substantial portion of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments that result from these earnings remain outside the United States. As a company engaged in manufacturing and distribution on a global scale, we are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including:

| ● | changes in foreign laws, regulations and policies, including restrictions on trade, import and export license requirements, and tariffs and taxes, as well as changes in United States laws and regulations relating to foreign trade and investment; and

| ● | industrial accidents, environmental events, strikes and other labor disputes, disruptions in supply chain or information technology, loss or impairment of key manufacturing sites or suppliers, product quality control, safety, as well as natural disasters, adverse weather conditions, social, economic and geopolitical conditions, such as terrorist attacks, war or other military action and other external factors over which we have no control.

These risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Terrorist attacks, acts of war or military actions, other civil unrest or natural disasters may adversely affect territories in which we operate, and therefore affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Terrorist attacks such as those that have previously occurred in Paris, France where we have our European headquarters, amongst other locations, and attempted terrorist attacks, military responses to terrorist attacks, other military actions, or governmental action in response to or in anticipation of a terrorist attack, or civil unrest as occurring in the Middle East, Ukraine and Africa or natural disasters, may adversely affect prevailing economic conditions. These events could result in work stoppages, reduced consumer spending or reduced demand for our products. These developments subject our worldwide operations to increased risks and, depending on their magnitude, could reduce net sales and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

The loss of or disruption in our distribution facilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We currently have several distribution facilities in Europe, China and the United States. The loss of any of those facilities, as well as the inventory stored in those facilities, would require us to find replacement facilities and assets. In addition, acts of God, such as extreme weather conditions, natural disasters and the like or terrorist attacks, could disrupt our distribution operations. If we cannot replace our distribution capacity and inventory in a timely, cost-efficient manner, then such failure could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Changes in foreign tax provisions, the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities could affect our profitability and cash flows.

In addition to being subject to taxation in the United States, we are subject to income and other taxes in other foreign jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate in the future could be adversely affected by changes to our operating structure, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws and the discovery of new information in the course of our tax return preparation process. From time to time, tax proposals are introduced or considered by the United States Congress or the legislative bodies in foreign jurisdictions that could also affect our tax rate, the carrying value of our deferred tax assets, or our other tax liabilities. Our tax liabilities are also affected by the amounts we charge for inventory, services, licenses, funding, cross-jurisdictional transfer pricing, and other items in intercompany transactions. A negative determination or ultimate disposition in any tax audit, changes in tax laws or tax rates, or the ability to utilize our deferred tax assets could materially affect our tax provision, net income and cash flows in future periods.

33

The international character of our business renders us subject to fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates and international trade tariffs, barriers and other restrictions.

A substantial portion of our European operations’ net sales (over 50%) are sold in U.S. dollars. In an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations, we engage in a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments for all major currencies with which we operate. Despite such actions, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for the U.S. dollar, particularly with respect to the euro, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Possible import, export, tariff and other trade barriers, which could be imposed by the United States, the European Union or other countries might also have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Changing political conditions could adversely impact our business and financial results.

Changes in the political conditions in markets in which we manufacture, sell or distribute our products may be difficult to predict and may adversely affect our business and financial results. In addition, results of elections, referendums or other political processes in certain markets in which our products are manufactured, sold or distributed could create uncertainty regarding how existing governmental policies, laws and regulations may change, including with respect to sanctions, taxes, the movement of goods, services, capital and people between countries and other matters. The potential implications of such uncertainty, which include, among others, exchange rate fluctuations, tariffs, trade barriers and market contraction, could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial results.

● | Operational Risks

We are dependent upon Messrs. Jean Madar and Philippe Benacin, and the loss of their services could harm our business.

Jean Madar, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Philippe Benacin, our President, and Chief Executive Officer of Interparfums SA, are responsible for day-to-day operations as well as major decisions. Termination of their relationships with us, whether through death, incapacity or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our operations, and we cannot assure you that qualified replacements can be found.

Our reliance on third party manufacturers could have a material adverse effect on us.

We rely on outside sources to manufacture our fragrances and cosmetics. The failure of such third party manufacturers to deliver either compliant, quality components or finished goods on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our business. Although we believe there are alternate manufacturers available to supply our requirements, we cannot assure you that current or alternative sources will be able to supply all of our demands on a timely basis. We do not intend to develop our own manufacturing capacity. As these are third parties over whom we have little or no control, the failure of such third parties to provide components or finished goods on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our reliance on third party distributors could have a material adverse effect on us.

We sell a substantial percentage of our prestige fragrances through independent distributors specializing in luxury goods. Given the growing importance of distribution, we have modified our distribution model by owning a controlling interest in certain of our distributors within key markets. However, we have little or no control over third party distributors and the failure of such third parties to provide services on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, if we replace existing third party distributors with new third party distributors or with our own distribution arrangements, then transition issues could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

34

Our business is subject to governmental regulation, which could impact our operations.

Under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, fragrance products are regulated as cosmetics, and fragrances include perfumes, colognes and aftershave. They must meet the same requirements for safety as other cosmetic ingredients. Compliance required of fragrance ingredients include being safe for consumers when they are used according to labelled directions or as consumers customarily use them.

Under the Fair Packaging and Labelling Act, companies and individuals who manufacture or market cosmetics have the legal responsibility to ensure the products are safe and labelled according to the Act.

Our fragrance products that are manufactured and marketed in Europe are also regulated as cosmetics and subject to EU Regulation 1223/2009, and after Brexit, the United Kingdom regulation of The UK Schedule 34 to the Product Safety and Metrology Regulation 2019. As of the date of this report, IP products are in compliance with these regulations.

However, we cannot assure you that, should we use proscribed ingredients in our fragrance products that we develop or market, or develop or market fragrance products with different ingredients, or should existing regulations or requirements be revised, we would not in the future experience difficulty in complying with such requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our business could be negatively impacted by social impact and sustainability matters.

There continues to be an increased focus from certain investors, customers, consumers, employees, and other stakeholders concerning social impact and environmental matters. We are spending considerable time addressing social impact and sustainability matters, which are becoming more prominent issues for certain of our institutional shareholders. From time to time, we may announce certain initiatives, including goals and commitments, regarding environmental matters, packaging, responsible sourcing and corporate social responsibility. We could fail, or be perceived to fail, in our achievement of such initiatives, or in accurately reporting our progress on such initiatives. Such failures could be due to changes in distribution channels, new licenses or other acquisitions. Moreover, the standards by which corporate social responsibility are measured are developing and evolving, and certain areas are subject to assumptions that could change over time. In addition, we could be criticized for the scope of our initiatives or goals or perceived as not acting responsibly in connection with these matters. Any of such matters could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our business is subject to seasonal variability.

Our business is somewhat seasonal due to the timing of shipments to our customers, which are weighted to the second half of the year. Accordingly, our financial performance, sales, working capital requirements, cash flow and borrowings generally experience variability during the third and fourth quarters.

Our business is subject to inflationary pressures.

Despite significant inflationary pressures that started during 2022 affecting many aspects of our business, especially increase component costs and shipping, we were able to offset the effects of inflation during 2022 by increasing the prices of our products. Although we believe inflation will continue to be a major factor in 2023, a further increase in sales prices should help to mitigate its impact to some degree. However, we may not be able to continue increasing our prices indefinitely without causing a reduction in the number of consumers with sufficient disposable income to buy our certain of our fragrance products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

35

● | Fragrance Markets

The success of our products is dependent on public taste.

Our revenues are substantially dependent on the success of our products, which depends upon, among other matters, pronounced and rapidly changing public tastes, factors which are difficult to predict and over which we have little, if any, control. In addition, we have to develop successful marketing, promotional and sales programs in order to sell our fragrances and fragrance related products. If we are not able to develop successful marketing, promotional and sales programs, then such failure will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We are subject to extreme competition in the fragrance industry.

The market for fragrance products is highly competitive and sensitive to changing market preferences and demands. Many of our competitors in this market are larger than we are and have greater financial resources than are available to us, potentially allowing them greater operational flexibility. Our success in the prestige fragrance industry is dependent upon our ability to continue to generate original strategies and develop quality products that are in accord with ongoing changes in the market.

If there is insufficient demand for our existing fragrance products, or if we do not develop future strategies and products that withstand competition or if we are unsuccessful in competing on price terms, then we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Changes in laws, regulations and policies that affect our business could adversely affect our financial results.

Our business is subject to numerous laws, regulations and policies. Changes in the laws, regulations and policies, including the interpretation or enforcement thereof, that affect, or will affect, our business, including changes in accounting standards, tax laws and regulations, environmental or climate change laws, regulations or accords, trade rules and customs regulations, or increased cosmetics regulation, and the outcome and expense of legal or regulatory proceedings, and any action we may take as a result could adversely affect our financial results.

● | General Risk Factors

Our success depends, in part, on the quality and safety of our products.

Our success depends, in part, on the quality and safety of our products. If our products are found to be defective or unsafe, or if they otherwise fail to meet our consumers’ standards, then our relationships with customers or consumers could suffer, the appeal of one or more of our brands could be diminished, and we could lose sales and/or become subject to liability claims, any of which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our failure to protect our reputation, or the failure of our partners to protect their reputations, could have a material adverse effect on our brand images.

Our ability to maintain our reputation is critical to our various brand images. Our reputation could be jeopardized if we fail to maintain high standards for merchandise quality and integrity or if we, or the third parties with whom we do business, do not comply with regulations or accepted practices. Any negative publicity about these types of concerns may reduce demand for our merchandise. Failure to comply with ethical, social, product, labor and environmental standards, or related political considerations, such as animal testing, could also jeopardize our reputation and potentially lead to various adverse consumer actions, including boycotts. Failure to comply with local laws and regulations, including applicable U.S. trade sanctions, to maintain an effective system of internal controls or to provide accurate and timely financial statement information could also hurt our reputation. We are also dependent on the reputations of our brand partners and licensors, which can be affected by matters outside of our control. Damage to our reputation or the reputations of our brand partners or licensors or loss of consumer confidence for any of these or other reasons could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, as well as require additional resources to rebuild our reputation.

36

Our information systems and websites may be susceptible to outages, hacking and other risks.

We have information systems that support our business processes, including product development, production, marketing, order processing, sales, distribution, finance and intra-company communications. We also have Internet websites in the United States and Europe. These systems may be susceptible to outages due to fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, hacking and similar events. Despite the implementation of network security measures, our systems may be vulnerable to computer viruses, hacking and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering. The occurrence of these or other events could disrupt or damage our information systems and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The trading prices of our securities periodically may rise or fall based on the accuracy of predictions of our earnings or other financial performance.

Our business planning process is designed to maximize our long-term strength, growth and profitability, not to achieve an earnings target in any particular fiscal quarter. We believe that this longer-term focus is in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders. At the same time, however, we recognize that it may be helpful to provide investors with guidance as to our forecast of annual net sales and diluted earnings per share. Accordingly, we provide guidance as to our expected annual net sales, and diluted earnings per share, which is updated as appropriate throughout the year. While we generally provide updates to our guidance when we report our results each fiscal quarter if called for, we assume no responsibility to update any of our forward-looking statements at such times or otherwise. In addition, longer-term guidance that we may from time to time provide is based on goals that we believe, at the time guidance is given, are reasonably attainable.

In all of our public statements when we make, or update, a forward-looking statement about our sales and/or earnings expectations or expectations regarding other initiatives, we accompany such statements directly, or by reference to a public document, with a list of factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those we expect. Such a list is included, among other places, in our earnings press releases (by reference to our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission) and in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (e.g., in our reports on Form 10-K and Forms 10-Q). These and other factors may make it difficult for outside observers, such as research analysts, to predict what our earnings will be in any given fiscal quarter or year.

Outside analysts and investors have the right to make their own predictions of our financial results for any future period. Outside analysts, however, have access to no more material information about our results or plans than any other public investor, and we do not endorse or adopt their predictions as to our future performance. Nor do we assume any responsibility to correct the predictions of outside analysts or others when they differ from our own internal expectations. If and when we announce actual results that differ from those that outside analysts or others have been predicting, the market price of our securities could be affected. Investors who rely on the predictions of outside analysts or others when making investment decisions with respect to our securities do so at their own risk. We take no responsibility for any losses suffered as a result of such changes in the prices of our securities.

Item 2. Properties

United States Operations

We maintain our corporate headquarters and United States operations in approximately 32,000 square feet with a term that expires on December 31, 2029, and have been at the same location in New York City since 1992. We also have a 140,000 square foot distribution center in New Jersey, and this lease expires on October 31, 2025. In addition, we maintain office space in Hong Kong with a lease that expires in June 2023, as well as a small leased distribution center in Hong Kong through December 2023. In October 2021 we leased office space in Florence, Italy for a 6-year term with an option for an additional 6 years for Interparfums Italia Srl.

European Operations

Since March 2022, our European operations have maintained their corporate headquarters at 10 rue de Solférino in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. This is an office complex combining three buildings connected by two inner courtyards and consists of approximately 40,000 total sq. ft. United States distribution operations for European operations maintain their headquarters in New York City, with a lease that expires in May 2029. During 2022, we also purchased several small apartments at 96 rue de l’Université, Paris adjacent to the main office complex and have started the process of converting them into additional offices. A small office is located Singapore for Asia-Pacific distribution by European operations.

In addition, European operations maintain an approximately 37,000 square meters (approximately 398,265 square feet) distribution center located in Criquebeuf sur Seine, France, with a seven year term that expires May 2027 and an option to extend the term for an additional two years. Interparfums SA also has several agreements for warehousing and distribution services which are renewed on an annual basis, as well as a one with a service provider that expires in 2024. Fees payable are partially calculated based upon a percentage of sales, which is customary in the industry.

We believe our office and warehouse facilities are satisfactory for our present needs and those for the foreseeable future.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We operate in the fragrance business, and manufacture, market and distribute a wide array of fragrances and fragrance related products. We manage our business in two segments, European based operations and United States based operations. Certain prestige fragrance products are produced and marketed by our European operations through our 72% owned subsidiary in Paris, Interparfums SA, which is also a publicly traded company as 28% of Interparfums SA shares trade on the NYSE Euronext.

We produce and distribute our European based fragrance products primarily under license agreements with brand owners, and European based fragrance product sales represented approximately 68%, 75% and 78% of net sales for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We have built a portfolio of prestige brands, which include Boucheron, Coach, Jimmy Choo, Karl Lagerfeld, Kate Spade, Lanvin, Moncler, Montblanc, Rochas, S.T. Dupont and Van Cleef & Arpels, whose products are distributed in over 120 countries around the world.

Through our United States operations, we also market fragrance and fragrance related products. United States operations represented 32%, 25% and 22% of net sales in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These fragrance products are sold primarily pursuant to license or other agreements with the owners of the Abercrombie & Fitch, Anna Sui, Donna Karan, DKNY, Ferragamo, Graff, GUESS, Hollister, MCM, Oscar de la Renta and Ungaro brands.

Substantially all of our prestige fragrance brands are licensed from unaffiliated third parties, and our business is dependent upon the continuation and renewal of such licenses. With respect to the Company’s largest brands, we license the Montblanc, Jimmy Choo, Coach and GUESS brand names.

As a percentage of net sales, product sales for the Company’s largest brands were as follows:

|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Montblanc |  |  | 18 | % |  |  | 19 | % |  |  | 21 | %
Jimmy Choo |  |  | 18 | % |  |  | 18 | % |  |  | 16 | %
Coach |  |  | 15 | % |  |  | 16 | % |  |  | 17 | %
GUESS |  |  | 12 | % |  |  | 12 | % |  |  | 11 | %

Quarterly sales fluctuations are influenced by the timing of new product launches as well as the third and fourth quarter holiday season. In certain markets where we sell directly to retailers, seasonality is more evident. We primarily sell directly to retailers in France and the United States.

We grow our business and expand our shares in two distinct ways. First, by adding new brands to our portfolio, either through new licenses or other arrangements or out-right acquisitions of brands. Second, we grow through the introduction of new products and by supporting new and established products through advertising, merchandising and sampling, as well as by phasing out underperforming products, so we can devote greater resources to those products with greater potential. The economics of developing, producing, launching and supporting products influence our sales and operating performance each year. The introduction of new products may have some cannibalizing effect on sales of existing products, which we take into account in our business planning.

Our business is not capital intensive, and it is important to note that we do not own manufacturing facilities. We act as a general contractor and source our needed components from our suppliers. These components are either received and stored directly at our third-party fillers or received at one of our distribution centers and then, based upon production needs, the components are sent to one of several third party fillers, which manufacture the finished product for us and then deliver them to one of our distribution centers.

41

As with any global business, many aspects of our operations are subject to influences outside our control. We believe we have a strong brand portfolio with global reach and potential. As part of our strategy, we plan to continue to make investments behind fast-growing markets and channels to grow market share.

Our reported net sales are impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. A strong U.S. dollar has a negative impact on our net sales. However, earnings are positively affected by a strong dollar, because over 50% of net sales of our European operations are denominated in U.S. dollars, while almost all costs of our European operations are incurred in euro. Conversely, a weak U.S. dollar has a favorable impact on our net sales while gross margins are negatively affected. We address certain financial exposures through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments, and primarily enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

A novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced in late 2019 and in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. In response, various national, state, and local governments issued decrees prohibiting certain businesses from operating and certain classes of workers from reporting to work. Retail store closings, event cancellations and a shutdown of international air travel brought our sales to a virtual standstill and caused a significant unfavorable impact on our results of operations in 2020.

Business significantly improved in the second half of 2020 and continued to improve throughout 2021 and 2022, as retail stores reopened, and consumers increased online purchasing. While we expect this trend to continue, the introduction of variants of COVID-19 in various parts of the world has caused the temporary re-implementation of governmental restrictions to prevent further spread of the virus. In addition, international air travel remains curtailed in several jurisdictions due to both governmental restrictions and consumer health concerns. While COVID-19 had significantly restricted international travel, the travel retail business has picked up. We remain confident that travel retail will once again be a source of growth over the long-term. Lastly, the improved economy has put significant strains on our supply chain causing disruptions affecting the procurement of components, the ability to transport goods, and related cost increases. These disruptions have come at a time when demand for our product lines has never been stronger or more sustained. We have been addressing this issue since the beginning of 2021, by ordering well in advance of need and in larger quantities. Since 2021, we have strived to carry more inventory overall, source the same components from multiple suppliers and when possible, manufacture products closer to where they are sold. We do not expect the supply chain bottlenecks to begin lifting until the second half of 2023. Therefore, despite recent business improvement, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic might continue to have adverse effects on our results of our operations, financial position and cash flows through at least the first half of 2023.

Recent Important Events

Lacoste

In December 2022, we closed a transaction agreement with Lacoste, whereby an exclusive and worldwide license was granted for the production and distribution of Lacoste brand perfumes and cosmetics. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. The license becomes effective in January 2024 and will last for 15 years.

Dunhill

In April 2022, we announced that the Dunhill fragrance license will expire on September 30, 2023 and will not be renewed. The Company will continue to produce and sell Dunhill fragrances until the license expires and will maintain the right to sell-off remaining Dunhill fragrance inventory for a limited time as is customary in the fragrance industry.

42

Salvatore Ferragamo

In October 2021, we closed on a transaction agreement with Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A., whereby an exclusive and worldwide license was granted for the production and distribution of Ferragamo brand perfumes. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. The license became effective in October 2021 and will last for 10 years with a 5-year optional term, subject to certain conditions.

With respect to the management and coordination of activities related to the license agreement, the Company operates through a wholly-owned Italian subsidiary based in Florence, that was acquired from Salvatore Ferragamo on October 1, 2021. The acquisition together with the license agreement was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

Emanuel Ungaro

In October 2021, we also entered into a 10-year exclusive global licensing agreement a with a 5-year optional term subject to certain conditions, with Emanuel Ungaro Italia S.r.l, for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances and fragrance-related products, under the Emanuel Ungaro brand. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry.

Donna Karan and DKNY

In September 2021, we entered into a long-term global licensing agreement for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances and fragrance-related products under the Donna Karan and DKNY brands. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. With this agreement, we are gaining several well-established and valuable fragrance franchises, most notably Donna Karan Cashmere Mist and DKNY Be Delicious, as well as a significant loyal consumer base around the world. In connection with the grant of license, we issued 65,342 shares of Inter Parfums, Inc. common stock valued at $5.0 million to the licensor. The exclusive license became effective on July 1, 2022, and we are planning to launch new fragrances under these brands in 2024.

Rochas Fashion

Effective January 1, 2021, we entered into a new license agreement modifying our Rochas fashion business model. The new agreement calls for a reduction in royalties to be received. As a result, in the first quarter of 2021, we took a $2.4 million impairment charge on our Rochas fashion trademark. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we again took a $6.8 million impairment charge on the Rochas fashion trademark after an independent expert concluded that the valuation of the trademark was $11.3 million. The new license also contains an option for the licensee to buy-out the Rochas fashion trademarks in June 2025 at its then fair market value.

Land and Building Acquisition - Future Headquarters in Paris

In April 2021, Interparfums SA, our 73% owned French subsidiary, completed the acquisition of its future headquarters at 10 rue de Solférino in the 7th arrondissement of Paris from the property developer. This is an office complex combining three buildings connected by two inner courtyards, and consists of approximately 40,000 total sq. ft.

The purchase price includes the complete renovation of the site. As of December 31, 2022, $148.1 million of the purchase price, including approximately $4.4 million of acquisition costs, is included in property, equipment and leasehold improvements on the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. The purchase price has been allocated approximately $61.1 million to land and $87.0 million to the building. The building, which was delivered on February 28, 2022, includes the building structure, development of the property, façade waterproofing, general and technical installations and interior fittings that will be depreciated over a range of 7 to 50 years. The Company has elected to depreciate the building cost based on the useful lives of its components. Approximately $3.4 million of cash held in escrow is also included in property, equipment and leasehold improvements on the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2022.

The acquisition was financed by a 10-year €120 million (approximately $128.0 million) bank loan which bears interest at one-month Euribor plus 0.75%. Approximately €80 million of the variable rate debt was swapped for variable interest rate debt with a maximum rate of 2% per annum.

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies

We make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. These accounting policies generally require our management’s most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management of the Company has discussed the selection of significant accounting policies and the effect of estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently when events occur or circumstances change, such as an unexpected decline in sales, that would more likely than not indicate that the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable. When testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, the evaluation requires a comparison of the estimated fair value of the asset to the carrying value of the asset. The fair values used in our evaluations are estimated based upon discounted future cash flow projections using a weighted average cost of capital of 9.80%. The cash flow projections are based upon a number of assumptions, including, future sales levels and future cost of goods and operating expense levels, as well as economic conditions, changes to our business model or changes in consumer acceptance of our products which are more subjective in nature. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.

43

We believe that the assumptions we have made in projecting future cash flows for the evaluations described above are reasonable. However, if future actual results do not meet our expectations, we may be required to record an impairment charge, the amount of which could be material to our results of operations.

At December 31, 2022 indefinite-lived intangible assets aggregated $105.0 million. The following table presents the impact a change in the following significant assumptions would have had on the calculated fair value in 2022 assuming all other assumptions remained constant:

$ in millions |  |  | Change |  |  |  | Increase (decrease) to fair value |
Weighted average cost of capital |  |  | +10% |  |  | $ | (7.2 | )
Weighted average cost of capital |  |  | -10% |  |  | $ | 8.1 |
Future sales levels |  |  | +10% |  |  | $ | 9.7 |
Future sales levels |  |  | -10% |  |  | $ | (9.7 | )

Intangible assets subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment testing whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an amortizable intangible asset may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators exist for an amortizable intangible asset, the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the expected service potential of the asset are compared to the carrying value of the asset. If our projection of undiscounted future cash flows is in excess of the carrying value of the intangible asset, no impairment charge is recorded. If our projection of undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the intangible asset, an impairment charge would be recorded to reduce the intangible asset to its fair value. The cash flow projections are based upon a number of assumptions, including future sales levels and future cost of goods and operating expense levels, as well as economic conditions, changes to our business model or changes in consumer acceptance of our products which are more subjective in nature. In those cases where we determine that the useful life of long-lived assets should be shortened, we would amortize the net book value in excess of the salvage value (after testing for impairment as described above), over the revised remaining useful life of such asset thereby increasing amortization expense. We believe that the assumptions we have made in projecting future cash flows for the evaluations described above are reasonable.

In determining the useful life of our Lanvin brand names and trademarks, we applied the provisions of ASC topic 350-30-35-3. The only factor that prevented us from determining that the Lanvin brand names and trademarks were indefinite life intangible assets was Item c. “Any legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life.” The existence of a repurchase option originally in 2025 and amended to 2027, may limit the useful life of the Lanvin brand names and trademarks to the Company. However, this limitation would only take effect if the repurchase option were to be exercised and the repurchase price was paid. If the repurchase option is not exercised, then the Lanvin brand names and trademarks are expected to continue to contribute directly to the future cash flows of our Company and their useful life would be considered to be indefinite.

With respect to the application of ASC topic 350-30-35-8, the Lanvin brand names and trademarks would only have a finite life to our Company if the repurchase option were exercised, and in applying ASC topic 350-30-35-8, we assumed that the repurchase option is exercised. When exercised, Lanvin has an obligation to pay the exercise price and the Company would be required to convey the Lanvin brand names and trademarks back to Lanvin. The exercise price to be received (residual value) is well in excess of the carrying value of the Lanvin brand names and trademarks, therefore no amortization is required.

Quantitative Analysis

During the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, we have not made any material changes in our assumptions underlying these critical accounting policies or to the related significant estimates. The results of our business underlying these assumptions have not differed significantly from our expectations.

While we believe the estimates we have made are proper and the related results of operations for the period are presented fairly in all material respects, other assumptions could reasonably be justified that would change the amount of reported net sales, cost of sales, and selling, general and administrative expenses as they relate to the provisions for anticipated sales returns, allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory obsolescence reserves. For 2022, had these estimates been changed simultaneously by 5% in either direction, our reported gross profit would have increased or decreased by approximately $0.8 million and selling, general and administrative expenses would have changed by approximately $0.1 million. The collective impact of these changes on 2022 operating income, net income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc., and net income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. per diluted share would be an increase or decrease of approximately $0.8 million, $0.5 million and $0.02, respectively.

Results of Operations

Net Sales |  | Years ended December 31, |
(in millions) |  | 2022 |  |  | % Change |  |  | 2021 |  |  | % Change |  |  | 2020 |
European based product sales |  | $ | 744.0 |  |  |  | 12% |  |  | $ | 663.2 |  |  |  | 57% |  |  | $ | 422.9 |
United States based product sales |  |  | 342.7 |  |  |  | 58% |  |  |  | 216.4 |  |  |  | 86% |  |  |  | 116.1 |
Total net sales |  | $ | 1,086.7 |  |  |  | 24% |  |  | $ | 879.6 |  |  |  | 63% |  |  | $ | 539.0 |

Net sales rebounded significantly in 2021, as compared to 2020 for both European and United States based operations and continued to increase in 2022. At comparable foreign currency exchange rates, net sales increased 30% in 2022, as compared to 2021. Net sales in 2020 reflected the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the beauty industry. Retail store closings, event cancellations and a shutdown of international air travel brought our sales to a virtual standstill in early 2020. In the second half of 2020, business began rebounding thanks to retail stores reopening and a robust e-commerce business conducted by our retail customers.

For European based operations, our largest brands, Montblanc, Jimmy Choo and Coach grew 2022 sales by 15%, 23% and 18%, respectively, as compared to 2021. There were also significant gains made by our mid-sized brands, including Van Cleef & Arpels and Karl Lagerfeld. The year-over-year gains, in both euro and dollars, are all the more impressive considering our new product pipeline was dominated by flankers and extensions. However, we did bring to market several entirely new lines, including our first ever Moncler duo, Kate Spade Sparkle, Singulier by Boucheron and Open Road and Wild Rose by Coach.

In 2021, GUESS became our fourth brand with sales exceeding $100 million. Strong momentum on GUESS continued in 2022 with brand sales increasing another 24% as compared to 2021. There were also significant gains made by our mid-sized brands, especially Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister and Oscar de la Renta. Additionally, 2022 saw the first full year of sales of Ferragamo products and in the second half of 2022, we also welcomed first time sales of our newest brands, Donna Karan/DKNY. Together, these new brands contributed to 38% growth of our US operations.

45

We are confident in our future as 2023 has many exciting developments for the Company. We have transitioned to a new modern enterprise resource planning system (ERP) for our US operations which will enable us to operate more efficiently and offer more scale to absorb our newer brands We have a solid line-up of new product launches in the pipeline for many of our brands. This includes the roll out of the Moncler Collection in the first quarter and a Duo flanker in the third quarter, a launch of GUESS Uomo Acqua in the second quarter, as well as Bella Vita Paradiso in the fourth quarter. Extensions of the Montblanc Legend, Jimmy Choo Man and Jimmy Choo’s I Want Choo, debut in the first, second and third quarters, respectively. Also, in the third quarter, we will unveil new men’s lines for Coach and Boucheron. Brand extensions and flankers are in the works for MCM, Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, Anna Sui, and Oscar de la Renta. In sum, 2023 has all the earmarks of another superb year as the growth catalysts currently far outweigh the headwinds, most notably inflation and supply chain disruptions. Lastly, we have recently announced the license agreement with Lacoste which will offer us another sizable building block of growth in 2024.

As in the past, we hope to benefit from our strong financial position to potentially acquire one or more brands, either on a proprietary basis or as a licensee. However, we have no certainty that any new license or acquisition agreements will be consummated.

Our largest market, North America achieved sales growth of 22% in 2022 compared to 2021, while Western Europe and Asia grew sales by 28% and 19% in 2022, respectively, compared to 2021. Latin America and the Middle East also achieved top line growth of 24% and 44% in 2022, respectively compared to 2021. Eastern Europe saw only moderate top line growth of 6% as compared to 2021 largely related to the war in Ukraine.

For European based operations, gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales was 68.2%, 66.6% and 64.0% in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Distribution in the United States for European based operations is handled by a 100% owned subsidiary of Interparfums SA based in the United States. Therefore, sales are made at a wholesale price rather than at an ex-factory price, resulting in higher gross margins. Net sales of our U.S. based distribution subsidiary increased 16% in 2022, as compared to 2021, leading to favorable mix and giving rise to the increase in gross margin in 2022 over both 2021 and 2020. We carefully monitor movements in foreign currency exchange rates as over 50% of our European based operations net sales is denominated in U.S. dollars, while most of our costs are incurred in euro. From a margin standpoint, a strong U.S. dollar has a positive effect on our gross margin while a weak U.S. dollar has a negative effect. The average dollar/euro exchange rate was 1.05 in 2022, 1.18 in 2021, and 1.15 in 2020. Pricing action also enabled us to offset inflationary pressures.

For United States operations, gross profit margin was 54.7%, 53.1% and 51.8% in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. With a decline in sales in 2020, certain expenses such as depreciation of tools and molds together with the distribution of point-of-sale materials exaggerated the decline in gross margin for the year as a percentage of sales. The scale benefits coming from our significant growth in 2021 and 2022, combined with pricing actions and favorable channel/brand mix, have enabled us to more than offset the impacts of inflation and thus expand gross margin by 130 bps in 2021 and another 160 bps in 2022.

Costs relating to purchase with purchase and gift with purchase promotions are reflected in cost of sales, and aggregated $43.1 million, $36.9 million and $26.4 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and represented 4.0%, 4.2% and 4.9% of net sales, respectively.

Generally, we do not bill customers for shipping and handling costs and such costs, which aggregated $15.8 million, $10.0 million and $5.0 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. As such, our Company’s gross margins may not be comparable to other companies, which may include these expenses as a component of cost of goods sold.

For European operations, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 9% and 55% in 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, and represented 48.2%, 49.4% and 49.8% of sales in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively as we were able to leverage our scale. As discussed in more detail below, these fluctuations, which are in line with the fluctuations in sales for European operations, are primarily from variations in promotion and advertising expenditures. For United States operations, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 70% and 58% in 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year period and represented 39.1%, 36.5% and 43.1% of sales in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As discussed in more detail below, the increased selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales are primarily the result of increases in promotion and advertising expenditures. Additionally, the US based operations increased expenses related to salaries and benefits as we build the organization and infrastructure to support our new brands and future growth.

47

Promotion and advertising included in selling, general and administrative expenses aggregated $212.4 million, $171.1 million and $91.7 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Promotion and advertising as a percentage of sales represented 19.5%, 19.5% and 17.0% of net sales in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Promotion and advertising programs were cut significantly in 2020 in response to market conditions. Promotion and advertising are integral parts of our industry, and we continue to invest heavily in promotional spending to support new product launches and to build brand awareness. We believe that our promotion and advertising efforts have had a beneficial effect on online net sales, causing then to continue to grow strongly on a global basis. All of our brands have benefitted from newly launched and enhanced e-commerce sites in existing markets in collaboration with our retail customers on their e-commerce sites. We also continue to develop and implement omnichannel concepts, the way brick-and-mortar stores and a business’ online operations work in tandem, and compelling content to deliver an integrated consumer experience. We anticipated that on a full year basis, future promotion and advertising expenditures will aggregate approximately 21% of net sales, which is in line with pre-COVID historical averages.

Royalty expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses aggregated $87.0 million, $68.9 million and $41.1 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Royalty expense as a percentage of sales represented 8.0%, 7.8% and 7.6% of net sales in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increases in 2022 and 2021, as a percentage of sales, are directly related to new licenses and increased royalty-based product sales. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we reached agreements with most of our licensors to waive or significantly reduce minimum guaranteed royalties for 2020.

Service fees, which are fees paid within our European operations to third parties relating to the activities of our distribution subsidiaries, aggregated $7.9 million, $9.4 million and $6.8 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The 2022 and 2021 amounts are in line with and directly related to fluctuations in sales within our U.S. distribution subsidiary.

Income from Operations

As a result of the above analysis regarding net sales, gross profit margins and selling, general and administrative expenses, our operating margins aggregated 17.9%, 16.8% and 13.1% for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Other Income and Expenses

In December 2022, to finance the acquisition of the Lacoste trademark, the Company entered into a $53.3 million (€50 million) four-year loan agreement. The loan agreement bears interest at EURIBOR-1 month rates plus a margin of 0.825%. This variable rate debt was swapped for variable interest rate debt with a maximum rate of 2% per annum. Additionally, in April 2021, we completed the acquisition of the future headquarters of Interparfums SA. The acquisition was financed by a 10-year €120 million (approximately $128 million) bank loan which bears interest at one-month Euribor plus 0.75%. Also in 2021, approximately €80 million of the variable rate debt was swapped for fixed interest rate debt. Long-term debt including current maturities aggregated $186.8 million, $148.8 million and $24.7 million as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage exposure related to receivables from unaffiliated third parties denominated in a foreign currency and occasionally to manage risks related to future sales expected to be denominated in a foreign currency. Due to the sizable swings in currency rates during 2022, we went from recognizing a gain of $2.3 million in 2021 to a loss of $1.9 million in 2022. This accounts for most of our fluctuation within Other income and expenses.

Interest and investment income represents interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. In 2022, short-term investments include approximately $19.9 million of marketable equity securities of other companies in the luxury goods sector. Interest and investment income includes approximately $3.1 million of unrealized gains on marketable equity securities. Given our strong balance sheet and cash position, the increase in interest rates had a favorable impact on interest and investment income.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was 22.2%, 27.1% and 27.9% in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

48

Income tax expense represents U.S. federal, foreign, state and local income taxes. The effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of state and local income taxes, the tax impact of share-based compensation and the taxation of foreign income including tax settlements. Our effective tax rate will change from year-to-year based on recurring and non-recurring factors including the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, state and local income taxes, the tax impact of share-based compensation, the interaction of various global tax strategies and the impact from certain acquisitions.

Our effective income tax rate for European operations was 25.2%, 30.6% and 29.7% in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as the French Prime Minister reduced the French corporate income tax rate from approximately 33% to 25% over a three-year period.

Our effective income tax rate for U.S. operations was 13.8%, 15.6% and 16.7% in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Our effective tax rate differs from the 21% statutory rate due to state, local and foreign taxes, offset by benefits received from the exercise of stock options as well as deductions we are allowed for a portion of our foreign derived intangible income. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2022, our U.S. operations recognized a one-time tax benefit of $2.5 million associated with the 2021 Salvatore Ferragamo acquisition. At the time of the acquisition, we had not recognized deferred tax benefits as there were uncertainties concerning its potential recoverability; however, as of September 30, 2022, the recoverability was deemed likely.

The Company has determined that it has no tax liability related global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. The Company also estimated the effect of its foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”) and recorded a tax benefit of $1.5 million, $0.6 million and $0.3 million as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Share-based compensation resulted in a discrete tax benefit of $0.8 million, $1.3 million and $0.4 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Net Income

|  | Year ended December 31, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
|  | (In thousands) |
Net income attributable to European operations |  | $ | 107,292 |  |  | $ | 80,670 |  |  | $ | 41,990 |
Net income attributable to United States operations |  |  | 43,745 |  |  |  | 29,357 |  |  |  | 7,978 |
Net income |  |  | 151,037 |  |  |  | 110,027 |  |  |  | 49,968 |
Less: Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest |  |  | 30,099 |  |  |  | 22,616 |  |  |  | 11,749 |
Net income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. |  | $ | 120,938 |  |  | $ | 87,411 |  |  | $ | 38,219 |

Net income attributable to European operations was $107.3 million, $80.7 million and $42.0 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, while net income attributable to United States operations was $43.7 million, $29.4 million and $8.0 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The fluctuations in net income for both European operations and United States operations are directly related to the previous discussions concerning changes in sales, gross profit margins, selling, general and administrative expenses, most of which were caused by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in 2020 and the recovery in 2021 and 2022.

The noncontrolling interest arises primarily from our 72% owned subsidiary in Paris, Interparfums SA, which is also a publicly traded company as 28% of Interparfums SA shares trade on the Euronext. Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is directly related to the profitability of our European operations and aggregated 27.9%, 28.0% and 28.1% of European operations net income in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net margins attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. aggregated 11.1%, 9.9% and 7.1% in 2022, 2022 and 2020, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our conservative financial tradition has enabled us to amass significant cash balances. As of December 31, 2022, we had $256 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, most of which are held in euro by our European operations and are readily convertible into U.S. dollars. We have not had any liquidity issues to date, and do not expect any liquidity issues relating to such cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. As of December 31, 2022, short-term investments include approximately $19.9 million of marketable equity securities.

49

As of December 31, 2022, working capital aggregated $443 million, and we had a working capital ratio of 2.3 to 1. Approximately 80% of the Company’s total assets are held by European operations including approximately $249 million of trademarks, licenses and other intangible assets.

The Company is party to a number of license and other agreements for the use of trademarks and rights in connection with the manufacture and sale of its products expiring at various dates through 2039. In connection with certain of these license agreements, the Company is subject to minimum annual advertising commitments, minimum annual royalties and other commitments. See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 12 – Commitments in this annual report on Form 10-K. Future advertising commitments are estimated based on planned future sales for the license terms that were in effect at December 31, 2022, without consideration for potential renewal periods and do not reflect the fact that our distributors share our advertising obligations.

The Company hopes to continue to benefit from its strong financial position to potentially acquire one or more brands, either on a proprietary basis or as a licensee. In December 2022, we entered into a long-term global licensing agreement for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances and fragrance-related products under the Lacoste brand. This new license takes effect January 2024.

In September 2021, we entered into a long-term global licensing agreement for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances and fragrance-related products under the Donna Karan and DKNY brands. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. With this agreement, we are gaining several well-established and valuable fragrance franchises, most notably Donna Karan Cashmere Mist and DKNY Be Delicious, as well as a significant loyal consumer base around the world. The exclusive license became effective on July 1, 2022, and we are planning to launch new fragrances under these brands in 2024.

In October 2021, we closed on a transaction agreement with Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A., whereby an exclusive and worldwide license was granted for the production and distribution of Ferragamo brand perfumes. The license became effective in October 2021 and will last for 10 years with a 5-year optional term, subject to certain conditions. With respect to the management and coordination of activities related to the license agreement, the Company is operating through a wholly-owned Italian subsidiary based in Florence, that was acquired from Salvatore Ferragamo on October 1, 2021. The acquisition together with the license agreement was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The total cost of the assets acquired net of liabilities assumed aggregated approximately $35.8 million. In connection with this acquisition, we agreed to pay $17.0 million in equal annual installments of $1.7 million including interest imputed at 2.0%.

Opportunities for external growth are regularly examined, with the priority of maintaining the quality and homogeneous nature of our portfolio. However, we cannot assure you that any new license or acquisition agreements will be consummated.

Cash provided by operating activities aggregated $115.2 million, $119.6 million, and $65.0 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In 2022, working capital items used $65.6 million in cash from operating activities, as compared to $13.7 million in 2021 and $7.3 million in 2020. Although, from a cash flow perspective, accounts receivable is up approximately 37% from year-end 2021, the balance is reasonable based upon fourth quarter 2022 record sales levels and reflects strong collection activity as day’s sales outstanding increased slightly to 64 days in 2022, as compared to 61 days in 2022 and decreased significantly as compared to 86 days in 2020. From a cash flow perspective, inventory levels are up 49% from year-end 2021. Inventory days on hand increased to 231 days in 2022, as compared to 208 days in 2021, and 277 days in 2020 as we chose to protect service level in light of the COVID driven supply chain disruptions.

Cash flows used in investing activities reflect the purchase and sales of short-term investments. These investments consist of certificates of deposit with maturities greater than three months marketable equity securities and other contracts. At December 31, 2022, approximately $39 million of certificates of deposit contain penalties where we would forfeit a portion of the interest earned in the event of early withdrawal.

50

Our business is not capital intensive as we do not own any manufacturing facilities. On a full year basis, we generally spend less than $5.0 million on capital expenditures including tools and molds needed to support our new product development calendar. Capital expenditures also include amounts for office fixtures, computer equipment and industrial equipment needed at our distribution centers.

In December 2022, to finance Interparfums SA’s acquisition of the Lacoste trademark, the Company entered into a $53.3 million (€50 million) four-year loan agreement. The loan agreement bears interest at EURIBOR-1 month rates plus a margin of 0.825%. This variable rate debt was swapped for variable interest rate debt with a maximum rate of 2% per annum.

In April 2021, Interparfums SA completed the acquisition of its future headquarters at 10 rue de Solférino in the 7th arrondissement of Paris from the property developer. This is an office complex combining three buildings connected by two inner courtyards, and consists of approximately 40,000 total sq. ft.

The $142 million purchase price is in line with market value and includes the complete renovation of the site. As of December 31, 2021, $136.1 million of the purchase price, including approximately $3.1 million of acquisition costs, is included in building, equipment and leasehold improvements on the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. Approximately $8.8 million of cash held in escrow is included in other assets on the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. In 2022 this cash was released from escrow and there is no longer any balance of cash outside of cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company borrowed $17.0 million pursuant to a short-term loan equal to the VAT credit, and in July 2021, the $17.0 million VAT credit was reimbursed by the French Tax Authorities and the loan was repaid.

The acquisition was financed by a 10-year €120 million (approximately $136 million) bank loan which bears interest at one-month Euribor plus 0.75%. Approximately €80 million of the variable rate debt was swapped for variable interest rate debt with a maximum rate of 2% per annum.

In June 2020, the Company and Divabox, owner of the Origines-parfums e-commerce platform for beauty products, signed a strategic agreement and equity investment pursuant to which we acquired 25% of Divabox capital for $14 million through a capital increase. In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a $13.4 million term loan, which was repaid in full in February 2021.

Our short-term financing requirements are expected to be met by available cash on hand at December 31, 2022, cash generated by operations and short-term credit lines provided by domestic and foreign banks. The principal credit facilities for 2022 consist of a $20.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit provided by a domestic commercial bank and approximately $20 million in credit lines provided by a consortium of international financial institutions. There were no balances due from short-term borrowings as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

In April 2020, as a result of the uncertainties raised by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Directors authorized a temporary suspension of the quarterly cash dividend. In February 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a reinstatement of an annual dividend of $1.00, payable quarterly and in February 2022, our Board authorized a 100% increase in the annual dividend to $2.00 per share. In February 2023 the Board of Directors further increased the annual dividend to $2.50 per share. The next quarterly cash dividend of $0.625 per share is payable on March 31, 2023, to shareholders of record on March 15, 2023. Dividends paid, including dividends paid once per year to noncontrolling stockholders of Interparfums SA, aggregated $79.8 million, $41.5 million and $21.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The cash dividends to be paid in 2023 are not expected to have any significant impact on our financial position.

We believe that funds provided by or used in operations can be supplemented by our present cash position and available credit facilities, so that they will provide us with sufficient resources to meet all present and reasonably foreseeable future operating needs.

51

Inflation rates in the U.S. and foreign countries in which we operate did not have a significant impact on operating results for the year ended December 31, 2022 as they were either offset by price increases we passed onto our respective customers or operating efficiencies.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

General

We address certain financial exposures through a controlled program of risk management that primarily consists of the use of derivative financial instruments. We primarily enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts in order to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. We do not engage in the trading of foreign currency forward exchange contracts or interest rate swaps.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management

A general discussion relating to our policies on foreign exchange risk management can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 2020.

As of December 31, 2022, we had foreign currency contracts in the form of forward exchange contracts with notional amounts of approximately U.S. $36.5 million which all have maturities of less than one year. We believe that our risk of loss as the result of nonperformance by any of such financial institutions is remote.

Interest Rate Risk Management

We mitigate interest rate risk by monitoring interest rates, and then determining whether fixed interest rates should be swapped for floating rate debt, or if floating rate debt should be swapped for fixed rate debt.

As of the date of this report, our executive officers and directors were as follows:

Name |  | Position
Jean Madar |  | Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer of Inter Parfums, Inc. and Director General of Interparfums SA
Philippe Benacin |  | Vice Chairman of the Board, President of Inter Parfums, Inc. and Chief Executive Officer of Interparfums SA
Michel Atwood |  | Director and Chief Financial Officer
Philippe Santi |  | Director, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Interparfums SA
François Heilbronn |  | Director
Robert Bensoussan |  | Director
Patrick Choël |  | Director
Michel Dyens |  | Director
Veronique Gabai-Pinsky |  | Director
Gilbert Harrison |  | Director
Frederic Garcia-Pelayo |  | Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Interparfums SA

Our directors will serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and thereafter until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. Messrs. Jean Madar and Philippe Benacin have a verbal agreement or understanding to vote their shares and the shares of their respective holding companies in a like manner.

With the exception of Mr. Benacin, the officers are elected annually by the directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors. There are no family relationships between executive officers or directors of our Company.

Board of Directors

Our board of directors has the responsibility for establishing broad corporate policies and for the overall performance of our Company. Although certain directors are not involved in day-to-day operating details, members of the board of directors are kept informed of our business by various reports and documents made available to them. Our board of directors held 18 meetings (or executed consents in lieu thereof), including meetings of committees of the full board of directors during 2022, and all of the directors attended at least 75% of the meetings (or executed consents in lieu thereof) of the full board of directors and committees of which they were a member. Our board of directors presently consists of ten (10) directors.

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, as well as other persons performing similar functions, and we agree to provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of our Code of Business Conduct. Any person who requests a copy of our Code of Business Conduct should provide their name and address in writing to: Inter Parfums, Inc., 551 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10176, Att.: Shareholder Relations. In addition, our Code of Conduct is also maintained on our website, at www.interparfumsinc.com.

During 2022, our board of directors had the following standing committees:

| ● | Audit Committee – The Audit Committee has the sole authority and is directly responsible for, the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent accountants employed by our company which prepare or issue audit reports for our company. During 2022, this committee consisted of Messrs. Heilbronn and Choël, and Ms. Gabai-Pinsky. The charter of the Audit Committee is posted on our Company’s website.

54

The Company does not have an “audit committee financial expert” within the definition of the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Finding qualified nominees to serve as a director of a public company without the comparable financial resources of other larger, more established companies has been challenging. In addition, despite the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rule which states that being named as the audit committee financial expert does not impose any greater duty, obligation or liability, our company has been met with resistance from both present and former directors to being named as such, primarily due to potential additional personal liability. However, as the result of the background, education and experience of the members of the Audit Committee, our board of directors believes that such committee members are fully qualified to fulfill their obligations as members of the Audit Committee. The Chair of the Audit Committee, Mr. François Heilbronn, is a graduate of Harvard Business School with a Master of Business Administration degree and is currently the managing partner of the consulting firm of M.M. Friedrich, Heilbronn & Fiszer which is specialized in business strategy and complex financial operations and investments.

| ● | Executive Compensation and Stock Option Committee – The Executive Compensation and Stock Option Committee oversees the compensation of our Company’s executives and administers our company’s stock option plans. During 2022, this committee consisted of Messrs. Heilbronn and Choël, and Ms. Gabai-Pinsky. The charter of the Executive Compensation and Stock Option Committee is posted on our company’s website.

| ● | Nominating Committee – During 2022, this committee consisted of Messrs. Heilbronn and Choël, and Ms. Gabai-Pinsky. The purpose of the Nominating Committee is to determine and recommend qualified persons to the Board of Directors who will be put forth as management’s slate of directors for vote of the Corporation’s stockholders, as well as to fill vacancies in the Board of Directors. The charter of the Nominating Committee is posted on our Company’s website.

We have adopted a board diversity policy, which provides that the selection of candidates for appointment to our board will be based on an overriding emphasis on merit, but the Nominating Committee will seek to fill board vacancies by considering candidates that bring a diversity of background and industry or related expertise to our board. The Nominating Committee is to consider an appropriate level of diversity having regard for factors such as skills, business and other experience, education, gender, age, ethnicity and geographic location. A copy of the board diversity policy is posted on our company’s website. In addition, Nasdaq has adopted a Board Diversity Rule, which requires Nasdaq listed companies to publicly disclose board-level diversity statistics using a standardized template during 2022. By the 2025 annual meeting, we will be required to disclose whether or not we have two directors that are diverse under the applicable Nasdaq rule, and if not, then why not. We do not foresee any issue in complying with Nasdaq Board Diversity Rule at this time.

55

Nasdaq Board Diversity

Business Experience

The following sets forth biographical information as to the business experience of each executive officer and director of our company for at least the past five years.

Jean Madar

Jean Madar, age 62, a Director, has been the Chairman of the Board since our Company’s inception, and is a co-founder of our Company with Mr. Philippe Benacin. From inception until December 1993 he was the President of our Company; in January 1994, he became Director General of Interparfums SA, our Company’s subsidiary; and in January 1997, he became Chief Executive Officer of our Company. Mr. Madar was previously the managing director of Interparfums SA, from September 1983 until June 1985. At such subsidiary, he had the responsibility of overseeing the marketing operations of its foreign distribution, including market research analysis and actual marketing campaigns. Mr. Madar graduated from The French University for Economic and Commercial Sciences (ESSEC) in 1983. We believe that Mr. Madar’s skills in guiding, leading and determining the strategic direction of our company since its inception together with Mr. Benacin, in addition to his contacts in the fragrance and cosmetic industry, render him qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors.

Philippe Benacin

Mr. Benacin, age 64, a Director, is President of our Company and the Chief Executive Officer of Interparfums SA, has been the Vice Chairman of the Board since September 1991, and is a co-founder of our Company with Mr. Madar. He was elected the Executive Vice President in September 1991, Senior Vice President in April 1993, and President of the Company in January 1994. In addition, he has been the President of our Company and Chief Executive Officer of Interparfums SA for more than the past five years. Mr. Benacin graduated from The French University for Economic and Commercial Sciences (ESSEC) in 1983. In June 2014 Mr. Benacin was elected as a member of the Supervisory Board of Vivendi, and Chairman of its Corporate Governance, Nominations and Remuneration Committee. We believe that Mr. Benacin’s skills in guiding, leading and determining the strategic direction of our company since its inception together with Mr. Madar, in addition to his contacts in the fragrance and cosmetic industry, render him qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors.

Michel Atwood

Mr. Atwood, age 53, became our Chief Financial Officer on September 6, 2022, succeeding Mr. Russell Greenberg, the former Chief Financial Officer, who retired on that same date. Mr. Atwood was first elected to our Board of Directors at the 2022 Annual Meeting held in September 2022.

From September 2018 through March 2022 while at Estée Lauder, Mr. Atwood had strategic oversight for the fragrance category across that company and operational accountability for several of its fragrance brands. He also had senior level merger and acquisition (“M&A”) duties, including acquisition integration and brand divestitures/discontinuations. Over his nearly four years at Estée Lauder, he also drove cross-brand synergies across research and development and supply chain for the fragrance category. From February 2017 to August 2018, he was an independent consultant as an M&A advisor on multiple fragrance license acquisitions and also acted as a private investor.

From 1995 to 2017, Mr. Atwood has held several executive positions at Procter & Gamble (“P&G”) in France, Switzerland, Italy and Germany. His final title at P&G was Divisional CFO of Global Prestige Fragrances, leading a 90 member team, and ultimately spearheading the divestiture of that division to Coty. Earlier he was CFO Global Markets – Prestige Fragrances, a business generating over $2 billion in sales, where he headed a globally dispersed team of 60 people supporting the go-to-market organization (affiliates, Travel Retail and distributors) of the Prestige Division. Before that, he was Global Prestige Director of Strategic Planning, Licensing and Acquisition shaping and executing the overall business direction and licensing and acquisition strategy of P&G’s Global Fragrance and Premium skin and cosmetics businesses.

Michel Atwood holds a Master’s degree in Software Engineering from the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées of Lyon, and a Master’s in International Finance from HEC Paris, the prestigious French business school. He also earned the designation of Certified Management Accountant from the Institute of Management Accountants. He has a truly international background, working/living in France, Switzerland, the U.S., Canada, Turkey and Italy.

As the result of his business and financial acumen, as well as his experience as managing partner of a business consulting firm in the area of mergers and acquisitions of large international companies in retail, consumer goods and consumer services throughout the world, we believe Mr. Heilbronn is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors.

Gilbert Harrison

Mr. Harrison, age 82, an independent director, was appointed to our board in April 2018. Mr. Harrison has more than 50 years of experience in corporate finance and strategic transactions, specializing in the consumer products space. He began his career in 1965 practicing corporate and securities law in New York and Philadelphia. In 1971 he founded Financo, which he grew to become one of the leading independent middle market transaction firms in the country. In 1985, Financo was acquired by Lehman Brothers, where the firm’s primary efforts were focused on increasing its expertise in retail, apparel and other merchandising transactions of all types. At Lehman, Mr. Harrison was Chairman of the Merchandising Group and on the firm’s Investment Banking Operating Committee while continuing as Chairman of Financo, which was renamed the Middle Market Group of Lehman. In 1989, he re-acquired Financo from Lehman, re-establishing Financo as one of the leading investment banking firms handling transactions and providing strategic advice in connection with merchandising companies. Mr. Harrison retired as Chairman of Financo in December of 2017, after which he formed the Harrison Group, a firm that provides consulting and financial advisory services to merchandising and products companies.

Mr. Harrison’s other activities include his membership on the Advisory Council of the World Retail Congress, Shoptalk and the Financial Times Business of Luxury Summit. Additionally, he has created a course on mergers and acquisitions at The Wharton School and has published various articles and academic studies on the state of retailing and mergers and acquisitions, including a chapter in the book entitled, “The Mergers and Acquisitions Handbook.” Mr. Harrison lectures throughout the country, including chairing seminars for Retail Week as well as for the International Council of Shopping Centers, the National Retail Federation, Young President’s Center, The Wharton Aresty Institute of Executive Education and The President’s Association of the American Management Association.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

General

The executive compensation and stock option committee of our board of directors is comprised entirely of independent directors and oversees all elements of compensation (base salary, annual bonus, long-term incentives and perquisites) of our company’s executive officers and administers our company’s stock option plans, other than the non-employee directors stock option plan, which is self-executing.

The objectives of our compensation program are designed to strike a balance between offering sufficient compensation to either retain existing or attract new executives on the one hand, and maintaining compensation at reasonable levels on the other hand. We do not have the resources comparable to the cosmetic giants in our industry, and, accordingly, cannot afford to pay excessive executive compensation. In furtherance of these objectives, our executive compensation packages generally include a base salary, as well as annual incentives tied to individual performance and long-term incentives tied to our operating performance.

During 2022 and prior years, Mr. Madar, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, took the initiative after discussions with Mr. Russell Greenberg, the former Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and board member, and recommended executive compensation levels for executives for United States operations. Mr. Benacin, the Chief Executive Officer of Interparfums SA, took the initiative after discussions with Philippe Santi, the Chief Financial Officer of Interparfums SA, and recommended executive compensation levels for executives for European operations. The recommendations are presented to the compensation committee for its consideration, and the compensation committee makes a final determination regarding salary adjustments and annual award amounts to executives, including Jean Madar and Philippe Benacin. Messrs. Madar and Benacin are not present during deliberations or determination of their executive compensation by the compensation committee. Further, Messrs. Madar and Benacin, in addition to being executive officers and directors, are our largest beneficial shareholders, and therefore, their interests are aligned with our shareholder base in keeping executive compensation at a reasonable level.

The compensation committee was pleased that the most recent shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation held at our last annual meeting of shareholders in September 2022 overwhelmingly approved the compensation policies and decisions of the compensation committee. The compensation committee has determined to continue its present compensation policies in order to determine similar future decisions.

Our compensation committee believes that individual executive compensation is at a level comparable with executives in other companies of similar size and stage of development that operate in the fragrance industry, and takes into account our company’s performance as well as our own strategic goals. Further, the compensation committee believes that its present policies to date, with its emphasis on rewarding performance, has served to focus the efforts of our executives, which in turn has permitted our company to weather the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions and geopolitical turmoil in certain parts of the world, which resulted in the Company’s record results for 2022. During 2022, the members of such committee consisted of Messrs. Heilbronn and Choël, and Ms. Gabai-Pinsky.

Elements of Compensation

General

The compensation of our executive officers is generally comprised of base salaries, including a fee paid to the holding companies of each of Messrs. Madar and Benacin, annual cash bonuses and long-term equity incentive awards. In determining specific components of compensation, the compensation committee considers individual performance, level of responsibility, skills and experience, other compensation awards or arrangements and overall company performance. The compensation committee reviews and approves all elements of compensation for all of our executive officers taking into consideration recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer of our company and the Chief Executive Officer of Interparfums SA, as well as information regarding compensation levels at competitors in our industry.

61

Our named executive officers have all been with the Company for more than the past ten (10) years, other than Mr. Atwood who joined our Company in September 2022, with Messrs. Madar and Benacin being founders of the Company. As Messrs. Madar and Greenberg, the former Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President for United States operations, and Benacin and Santi for European operations, were most familiar with the individual performance, level of responsibility, skills and experience of each executive officer in their respective operating segments, the compensation committee relies upon the information provided by such executive officers in determining individual performance, level of responsibility, skills and experience of each executive officer.

The compensation committee views the competitive marketplace very broadly, which would include executive officers from both public and privately held companies in general, including fashion and beauty companies, but not limited to the peer companies contained in the corporate performance graph contained in our annual report. Generally, rather than tie the compensation committee’s determination of compensation proposals to any specific peer companies, the members of our committee have used their business experience, judgment and knowledge to review the executive compensation proposals recommended to them by Mr. Madar for United States operations and Mr. Benacin for European operations. As such, as a general rule the compensation committee did not determine the need to benchmark of any material item of compensation or overall compensation. However, in connection with the salary increase to Mr. Madar that occurred in February 2020, surveys of both peer companies and companies with comparable market capitalizations were used by the compensation committee as one of the factors in reaching such determination.

The members of the compensation committee have extensive experience and business acumen and are well qualified in determining the appropriateness of executive compensation levels. Mr. Heilbronn is a managing partner of a business consulting firm in the area of mergers and acquisitions of large international companies in retail, consumer goods and consumer services throughout the world. Mr. Choël previously worked as President and Chief Executive Officer of two divisions of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton S.A., which included such well-known brands as Parfums Christian Dior, Guerlain, and Parfums Givenchy. Mr. Choël has also been President and CEO of both Elida Fabergé France and Chesebrough Ponds USA. Ms. Gabai-Pinsky, the final committee member, has executive experience as the former President of Vera Wang Group, as well as the Global President for Aramis and Designers Fragrances in addition to Beauty Bank and Idea Bank at The Estée Lauder Companies.

Base Salary

Base salaries for executive officers are initially determined by evaluating the responsibilities of the position held and the experience of the individual, and by reference to the competitive marketplace for executive talent. Base salaries for executive officers are reviewed on an annual basis, and adjustments are determined by evaluating our operating performance, the performance of each executive officer, as well as whether the nature of the responsibilities of the executive has changed.

As stated above, as Messrs. Madar and Greenberg for United States operations, and Messrs. Benacin and Santi for European operations, were most familiar with the individual performance, level of responsibility, skills and experience of each executive officer in their respective segments, the committee relied upon the information provided by such executive officers in determining individual performance, level of responsibility, skills and experience of each executive officer.

For executive officers of United States operations, the bulk of their annual compensation is in base salary including a fee paid to the holding company for Mr. Madar for services rendered outside the United States. However, for executive officers of European operations base salary comprises a smaller percentage of overall compensation. We have paid a lower percentage of overall compensation in the form of base salary to executive officers of European operations for several years, principally because European operations historically have had higher profitability than United States operations, and European operations are run differently from United States operations by the Chief Executive Officer of European operations, Mr. Benacin. As the result of this historically higher profitability, European operations have had the ability to pay higher bonus compensation in addition to base salary. As bonus compensation is and has historically been discretionary, no targets were set in order to maintain flexibility. Further, if results of operations for European operations were not satisfactory (again, no target amounts were set to maintain flexibility), then bonus compensation, as well as overall compensation could be lowered without otherwise affecting base salary. Finally, by keeping annual bonus compensation at a higher percentage of overall compensation and base salary at a lower percentage, our company benefits because the base amount for annual salary adjustments would be smaller.

62

For the impact of COVID-19 on executive compensation in 2020 and 2021, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, under Item 11, Item 11. Executive Compensation, Compensation Discussion and Analysis, Covid-19 Impact, which is incorporated by reference herein.

For 2022, Mr. Benacin received a base salary of $756,000, (included an increase of €12,000 but due to the foreign currency conversion this is showing as a decrease when compared to 2021), and Mr. Benacin’s holding company received $250,000 paid by the Company’s United States operations, which is included the calculation of his base salary. This same consulting fee has been paid for more than each of the past three years, in accordance with the consulting agreement with Mr. Benacin’s holding company, which provides for review on an annual basis of the amount of compensation payable to such company.

For 2021, although Mr. Benacin received the same base salary as he did in 2020, his salary was affected by foreign currency conversion rates and was $804,000 for 2021. For 2020, Mr. Benacin received a modest increase in base salary of $14,000 to $789,000.

The compensation committee considered the following salient factors in authorizing payment to Mr. Benacin’s holding company— services rendered to United States operations for several years by Mr. Benacin in connection with licensing and distribution of international brands, as well as future services to be performed by Mr. Benacin internationally relating to licensing and distribution of international brands for United States operations.

As Mr. Benacin values the services of two named executive officers of Interparfums SA, Mr. Philippe Santi, Executive Vice President and the Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Frederic Garcia-Pelayo, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, equally, their base salaries, as well as their bonus compensation discussed below, have been in lockstep.

For 2022, the base salary of each of Messrs. Santi and Garcia-Pelayo was €432,000, and increase of €24,000. For 2021, the base salary of each of Messrs. Santi and Garcia-Pelayo was €408,000, as no executive officer received any increase in base salary due the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the base salaries of Messrs. Santi and Garcia-Pelayo in 2021 were affected by foreign currency conversion rates and were both $483,000 for 2021. For 2020, each of Messrs. Santi and Garcia-Pelayo received an increase in base salary of $14,000 to $470,000. Increases in prior years were awarded primarily to reward these two executive officers for their contributions in European Operations achieving increases in both the sales and earnings. The compensation committee considered the recommendations of Mr. Benacin, results of operations for the year, as well as the services performed for European operations by Messrs. Santi and Garcia-Pelayo in authorizing these salary levels.

A different approach is taken for United States operations as that segment is smaller and less profitable. A more significant base salary is paid in order to attract and retain employees with the skills and talents needed to run the operation with a lesser emphasis placed on bonuses. Neither of the executive officers for United States operations have employment agreements (although Mr. Madar’s personal holding company has a consulting agreement that provides for review on an annual basis of the amount of compensation payable to such company), as we believe that having flexibility in structuring annual base salary is a benefit, which permits us to act quickly to meet a changing economic environment.

As previously reported, from 2013 until 2019 the annual aggregate base salary paid to Mr. Madar individually and fees paid to his holding company remained unchanged at $630,000, which was substantially below the amounts indicated by two surveys of chief executive officer salaries for 2019 (collectively the “CEO Salary Surveys”). The CEO Salary Surveys indicated that the annual and median average CEO salaries for peer companies (excluding the Madar salary) were $2,854,656 and $1,540,000, respectively, and $2,604,346 and $1,750,000 for comparable market capitalization companies, respectively. In recognition of the efforts of Mr. Madar and his holding company as one of the prime causes for our substantial increase in net sales and net income, as well as market capitalization from 2014 through 2019, thus substantially increasing shareholder value, on February 4, 2020 the Committee jointly authorized the aggregate annual increase in Mr. Madar’s base salary by $600,000 to $1.23 million effective as of January 1, 2020. For 2022 and 2021, Mr. Madar did not receive any increase in base salary.

63

Russell Greenberg, the former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, received a $30,000 increase in base salary for 2022 to $750,000 on an annualized basis, also did not have any salary increase for 2021, when his base salary remained at $720,000. Previously, he had received the same $30,000 increase in base salary for 2020 and 2019. In connection with the previous increases in salary, the Compensation Committee considered the following material factors in granting Mr. Greenberg his salary increases: his individual performance, level of responsibility, skill and experience, as well as the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Atwood, who became the Chief Financial Officer in September 2022 after the retirement of Mr. Greenberg, was granted a $500,000 annual base salary, as well as a signing bonus of $100,000 that was paid in September 2022. An additional bonus of $50,000 was also paid in December 2022 for the September-December period. The Compensation Committee considered the following material factors in approving the base salary and guaranteed annual bonus of Mr. Atwood for 2022: his individual performances, level of responsibilities, skill and experience with other companies in the fragrance and cosmetic industry, as well as the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer.

Bonus Compensation/Annual Incentives

In recognition of the Company’s turnaround from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions and geopolitical turmoil in 2022 and record results in 2022, and after the recommendations of Messrs. Madar and Benacin, the compensation committee determined that Mr. Benacin receive a bonus of $211,000. Also, in recognition of record results in 2021 while dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions and geopolitical turmoil, and after the recommendations of Messrs. Madar and Benacin, the compensation committee determined that Mr. Benacin receive a bonus of $166,000. For 2020 Mr. Benacin, the chief decision maker for European operations, proposed and the compensation committee concurred in the payment of discretionary bonus compensation of $131,000. Discretionary bonus compensation for Mr. Benacin has been approximately 28%, 30% and 17% of his base salary in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

In addition, the Compensation Committee agreed with the recommendation of Mr. Benacin and the contributions made by Messrs. Santi and Garcia-Pelayo to the Company’s success and growth. Bonus compensation for Messrs. Santi and Garcia-Pelayo have remained in lockstep, and each was awarded a discretionary bonus of $437,000, $378,000 and $296,000 in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, or 96%, 78% and 63%of their base salary for those years.

A different approach is taken for United States operations as that segment is smaller and less profitable. As discussed above, a more significant base salary is paid in order to attract and retain employees with the skills and talents needed to run United States operations with a lesser emphasis placed on bonuses.

In 2022, as Mr. Greenberg retired, he did not receive a discretionary bonus. In 2021, although Mr. Greenberg did not receive any increase in base salary due to the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, he did receive a discretionary bonus of $70,000 based upon the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Greenberg was paid a discretionary bonus of $35,000 in 2020 and $50,000 for each of the several years prior thereto. The Compensation Committee considered the following material factors in granting Mr. Greenberg his bonuses: his individual performance, level of responsibility, skill and experience, as well as the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Atwood, who became the Chief Financial Officer in September 2022 after the retirement of Mr. Greenberg, received a sign on bonus of $100,000. His compensation arrangement also entitles him to a guaranteed annual bonus of $100,000, as well as a $100,000 bonus based upon achieving certain milestones. For 2022, Mr. Atwood received his $100,000 sign on bonus and $50,000 pro-rated performance bonus related to the September-December period. The Compensation Committee considered the same factor in granting these two bonuses as in approving his initial annualized salary.

Mr. Madar, the Chief Executive Officer has not received any cash bonus in the past three years.

As required by French law, Interparfums SA maintains its own profit sharing plan for all French employees who have completed three months of service, including executive officers of our European operations other than Mr. Benacin, the Chief Executive Officer of Interparfums SA. Benefits are calculated based upon a percentage of taxable income of Interparfums SA and allocated to employees based upon salary. The maximum amount payable per year per employee is approximately $32,485.

Calculation of the total annual benefits contribution is made according to the following formula:

67% of (Interparfums SA net income, less 2.5% of shareholders’ equity without net income for the year) times a fraction, the numerator of which is wages, and the denominator of which is net income before tax + wages + taxes (other than income tax) + valuation allowances + amortization expenses + interest expenses.

Contribution to individual employees is then made pro rata based upon their individual salaries for the year.

Long-Term Incentives

Stock Options. In prior years, we had linked long-term incentives with corporate performance through the grant of stock options. However, no options were granted in 2021 or 2020 to either employees of United States operations or European operations, as other compensation arrangements were being considered as part of a review of the executive compensation strategy. In December 2022, at the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee authorized the grant of a stock option to purchase 5,000 shares to Mr. Atwood at the fair market value on the date of grant as part of his long-term incentives. Unless the market price of our common stock increases, Mr. Atwood will have no tangible benefit from this option. Thus, the option holder is provided with the additional incentive to increase individual performance with the ultimate goal of increasing our overall performance. We believe that enhanced executive incentives that result in increased corporate performance tend to build company loyalty. No other stock option grants were made to other executive officers in 2022, including Messrs. Jean Madar and Philippe Benacin.

Interparfums SA Stock Compensation Plans

2022 Free Share Plan – On March 16, 2022, the Board of Interparfums SA (“IPSA”) decided to grant 88,400 free shares of its capital stock to all of the IPSA’s employees and corporate officers having more than 6 months seniority at the grant date. The free shares are to be issued in June 2025. Issuance of those shares are based on satisfaction of performance conditions, relating to the 2024 IPSA sales for 50% of the shares and 2024 operating income for the balance.

IPSA used the services of third party to assist them in the valuation of the plan, with the calculations and assumptions as follows:

| - | Management expects the rate of staff turnover to be 12%,

| - | Using the Monte Carlo method, management expects the performance rate to be 80% on the consolidated sales and 80.8% on the consolidated operating income.

Based on the above assumptions, the total expenses related to this plan is valued at $3.3 million.

As of December 31, 2022:

| - | 63,281 shares of IPSA Capital Stock, representing $3.0 million were purchased in the open market and allocated to this plan.

$1.0 million of expense was recorded (or $1.2 million including social contributions).

2019 Plan – In December 2018, Interparfums SA approved a plan to grant an aggregate of 26,600 shares of its stock to employees with no performance condition requirement, and an aggregate of 133,000 shares to officers and managers, subject to certain corporate performance conditions. The shares, subject to adjustment for stock splits, were distributed in June 2022. Under this plan in June 2022, Messrs. Benacin, Madar, Garcia Pelayo and Santi received 4,000 shares each (5,857 shares as adjusted for stock splits).

In June 2020, the performance conditions were modified effecting 96 employees. As of December 31, 2021, the number of shares to be distributed, after forfeited shares and adjusted for stock splits, increased to 172,343. The increase in shares anticipated to be distributed were transferred from treasury shares at the Interparfums SA level. The modification resulted in a revised cost of the grant to approximately $4.6 million.

65

In connection with the 2019 Plan referred to above, an incentive plan was established by Interparfums SA for certain employees of Interparfums Luxury Brands, Inc. (“IPLB”), Interparfums Singapore (“IP Singapore”) and Inter Parfums, Inc. The proposed incentive plan would not provide shares but rather, would give a cash payment or bonus (“incentive” or “award”) that mirrors the shares that Interparfums SA employees will receive. An aggregate of 42,140 “phantom” shares have been awarded in 2022, with Mr. Greenberg being awarded 1,000 of such “phantom” shares, all subject to adjustment for stock splits, with a value of approximately $69,839.

Stock Appreciation Rights

Our stock option plans authorize us to grant stock appreciation rights, or SARs. A SAR represents a right to receive the appreciation in value, if any, of our common stock over the base value of the SAR. To date, we have not granted any SARs under our plans. While the compensation committee currently does not plan to grant any SARs under our plans, it may choose to do so in the future as part of a review of the executive compensation strategy.

Restricted Stock

We have not in the past, and we do not have any future plans to grant restricted stock to our executive officers. However, while the compensation committee currently does not plan to authorize any restricted stock plans, the compensation committee may choose to do so in the future as part of a review of the executive compensation strategy. Our French operating subsidiary, Interparfums, SA, however, has instituted its 2022 and 2019 Stock Compensation Plans as discussed above.

Other Compensation

For 2022, each of Messrs. Benacin and Garcia-Pelayo received an automobile allowance of $11,372.

No Stock Ownership Guidelines

We do not require any minimum level of stock ownership by any of our executive officers. As stated above, Messrs. Madar and Benacin, are our largest beneficial shareholders, which aligns their interests with our shareholder base in keeping executive compensation at a reasonable level.

Retirement and Pension Plans

We maintain a 401(k) plan for United States operations. Commencing in October 2021 we started matching the first $6,000 of contribution for each employee, as we have determined that base compensation together with annual bonuses, are sufficient incentives to retain talented employees. Our European operations maintain a pension plan for its employees as required by French law. For each of 2022, 2021and 2020, each of Messrs. Benacin, Santi and Garcia-Pelayo received an increase of $16,006, $17,773 and $17,500, respectively, in their value of deferred compensation earnings.

Compensation Committee Report

We have reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis provisions to be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and the proxy statement for the upcoming annual meeting of shareholders. Based on this review and discussion, we recommend to the board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis referred to above be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as the proxy statement for the upcoming annual meeting of shareholders.

Interparfums SA maintains a pension plan for all of its employees, including all executive officers. The calculation of commitments for severance benefits involves estimating the probable present value of projected benefit obligations. This projected benefit obligations are then prorated to take into account seniority of the employees of Interparfums SA on the calculation date.

In calculating benefits, the following assumptions were applied:

| - | voluntary retirement at age 65;

| - | a rate of 45% for employer payroll contributions for all employees;

| - | a 3% average annual salary increase;

| - | an annual rate of turnover for all employees under 55 years of age and nil above;

| - | the TH 00-02 mortality table for men and the TF 00-02 mortality table for women;

| - | a discount rate of 3.8%.

73

The normal retirement age is 65 years, but employees, including Messrs. Benacin, Santi and Garcia-Pelayo, can collect reduced benefits if they retire at age 62.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

We do not maintain any nonqualified deferred compensation plans.

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our mean employee and the annual total compensation of Mr. Jean Madar, Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”):

For 2022, our last completed fiscal year:

| ● | Our median employee’s compensation was $66,402

| ● | Our Chief Executive Officer’s total 2022 compensation was $2,460,315

| ● | Accordingly, our 2022 CEO to Median Employee Pay Ratio was 37.05 to 1

This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records. We identified our median employee using our total employee population as of December 31, 2022 by applying a consistently applied compensation measure across our global employee population. For our consistently applied compensation measure, we used all compensation, including actual base salary, bonuses, commissions, and any overtime paid during the 12-month period ending December 31, 2022. We did not use any material estimates, assumptions, adjustments or statistical sampling to determine the worldwide median employee.

The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

Employment and Consulting Agreements

Please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Item 11 under the heading “Employment and Consulting Agreements” for a material terms of the employment agreement with Philippe Benacin, individually, and the consulting agreements with, and fees and stock options previously granted to, Philippe Benacin Holding SAS and Jean Madar Holding SAS, which is incorporated by reference herein.

All nonemployee directors receive $6,000 for each board meeting at which they participate in person, and $3,000 for each meeting held by conference telephone. In addition, the annual fee for each member of the audit committee is $8,000. The compensation for the nonemployee directors remained the same for 2021 and 2022, except for Mr. Harrison. During 2021, a company owned by Mr. Harrison received a fee equal to $300,000, in connection with the Donna Karan license agreement, which is effective on July 1, 2022. A payment of $120,000 was made in 2021 to Mr. Harrison’s company, $120,000 was paid one year later in 2022, and $60,000 will be paid one year thereafter in 2023.

We maintain a stock option plan for our nonemployee or independent directors. The purpose of this plans is to assist us in attracting and retaining key directors who are responsible for continuing the growth and success of our company. Under such plan, until 2022 options to purchase 1,500 shares are granted on each February 1st to all nonemployee directors for as long as each is a nonemployee director on such date. However, if a nonemployee director does not attend certain of the board meetings, then such option grants are reduced according to a schedule. However, our board of directors cancelled the automatic grant of options to the nonemployee directors effective with the grant that had been scheduled for February 1, 2022.

After discussions Mr. Atwood had with certain financial consultants relating to potential compensation plans in lieu of stock option grants to the Company’s independent directors, and consultation between Messrs. Madar and Atwood, it was determined that the most favorable way for the nonemployee directors to be compensated was to amend the 2016 Stock Option Plan to reinstate the automatic grant of stock options previously provided to nonemployee directors, commencing with a new automatic grant on the last business day of 2022, December 30, and continuing on the last business day of each year thereafter, subject to the approval of the shareholders of this Corporation at the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders. The automatic option grants to independent directors were approved by the Board of Directors with the following changes: Reinstatement of the automatic grant of nonqualified stock options to all nonemployee directors was made without any discretion on the part of the Executive Compensation and Stock Option Committee, with the right to purchase 1,500 shares of the our common stock under our 2016 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “2016 Stock Option Plan”), at the purchase per share on the date of grant equal to the fair market value as determined in accordance with the 2016 Stock Option Plan, each exercisable for a six (6) year period; provided that, such options shall vest and become exercisable to purchase shares of Common Stock as follows: 20% one year after the date of grant, and then 20% on each of the second, third, fourth and fifth consecutive years from the date of grant on a cumulative basis, so that each option shall become fully vested and exercisable on the first day of the sixth year from the date of grant, with the automatic grant date to commence on the last business day of this year, December 30, 2022 and continuing on the last business day of each year thereafter, in lieu of the grant date on each February 1st.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Inter Parfums, Inc.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inter Parfums, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index in Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework: (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework: (2013) issued by COSO.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

F-2

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

As described in Notes 1 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated indefinite and finite - life intangible assets balance was $291 million at December 31, 2022. Indefinite lived intangible assets principally consist of trademarks and finite-lived intangible assets represent fees to acquire or enter into a license.

Those intangible assets are tested for impairment as follows:

| - | Indefinite - life intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level or more frequently when events occur, or circumstances change. The evaluation requires a comparison of the estimated fair value of the asset to the carrying value of the asset. The fair value is estimated based upon discounted future cash flow projections. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.

F-3

| - | Finite - life intangible assets are tested for impairment testing whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators exist, the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the expected service potential of the asset are compared to the carrying value of the asset. If the projection of undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of a finite-lived intangible asset, an impairment charge would be recorded.

The determination of the future cash flows of the intangible assets requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues, operating margins, and discount rates. As disclosed by management, changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the future cash flows and therefore, on the amount of any impairment charge. The determination of an impairment indicator on the finite - life intangible assets requires management judgments and involves assumptions.

We identified the impairment assessment of intangible assets as a critical audit matter as auditing management’s judgments regarding the evaluation of impairment indicators, forecasts of future revenue, operating margin, and the discount rate to be applied involve a high degree of subjectivity.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

► Reviewing the analysis of the identification of impairment evidence for each indefinite and finite-life asset based on three indicators (sales analysis, new products launches, and payment of minimum guarantees), and then corroborating that analysis with external information and evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

► Testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s impairment tests, including controls over the impairment indicators and determination of the future cash flows.

► In testing management’s process for determining the future cash flows we evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecasts of future revenue and operating margin by performing a retrospective review in comparing these forecasts to historical operating results, evaluating whether the assumptions used were reasonable considering current information as well as future expectations, and using additional evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

► Utilizing a valuation specialist to assist in auditing the discount rate. It includes evaluating whether the assumptions used were reasonable by comparing to third party market data.

| (1) | The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies

Business of the Company

Inter Parfums, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) are in the fragrance business and manufacture and distribute a wide array of fragrances and fragrance related products.

Substantially all of our prestige fragrance brands are licensed from unaffiliated third parties, and our business is dependent upon the continuation and renewal of such licenses. With respect to the Company’s largest brands, we license the Montblanc, Jimmy Choo, Coach and GUESS brand names. As a percentage of net sales, product sales for the Company’s largest brands were as follows:

Schedule of lanvin brand name for our class

|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Montblanc |  |  | 18 | % |  |  | 19 | % |  |  | 21 | %
Jimmy Choo |  |  | 18 | % |  |  | 18 | % |  |  | 16 | %
Coach |  |  | 15 | % |  |  | 16 | % |  |  | 17 | %
GUESS |  |  | 12 | % |  |  | 12 | % |  |  | 11 | %

No other brand represented 10% or more of consolidated net sales.

Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including 72% owned Interparfums SA, a subsidiary whose stock is publicly traded in France. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Management Estimates

Management makes assumptions and estimates to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those assumptions and estimates directly affect the amounts reported and disclosures included in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those assumptions and estimates. Significant estimates for which changes in the near term are considered reasonably possible and that may have a material impact on the financial statements are disclosed in these notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Translation

For foreign subsidiaries with operations denominated in a foreign currency, assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains and losses from translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company also has short-term investments which consist of certificates of deposit and other contracts with maturities greater than three months and available for sale marketable equity securities. The Company monitors concentrations of credit risk associated with financial institutions with which the Company conducts significant business. The Company believes its credit risk is minimal, as the Company primarily conducts business with large, well-established financial institutions. Substantially all cash and cash equivalents are primarily held at financial institutions outside the United States and are readily convertible into U.S. dollars.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent payments due to the Company for previously recognized net sales, reduced by allowances for doubtful accounts or balances which are estimated to be uncollectible, which aggregated $4.7 million and $2.2 million as of December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Accounts receivable balances are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when they become uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously recorded against the allowance are recorded in the consolidated statement of income when received. We generally grant credit based upon our analysis of the customer’s financial position, as well as previously established buying patterns.

Inventories

Inventories, including promotional merchandise, only include inventory considered saleable or usable in future periods, and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include raw materials, direct labor and overhead (e.g., indirect labor, utilities, depreciation, purchasing, receiving, inspection and warehousing) as well as inbound freight. Promotional merchandise is charged to cost of sales at the time the merchandise is shipped to the Company’s customers.

Derivatives

All derivative instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. The Company uses derivative instruments to principally manage a variety of market risks. For derivatives designated as hedges of the exposure to changes in fair value of the recognized asset or liability or a firm commitment (referred to as fair value hedges), the gain or loss is recognized in earnings in the period of change together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. The effect of that accounting is to include in earnings the extent to which the hedge is not effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported in equity (as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss of a cash flow hedge is reported in earnings immediately. The Company also holds certain instruments for economic purposes that are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. For these derivative instruments, changes in their fair value are recorded in earnings immediately.

Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for equipt, which range between three and ten years and the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful asset lives for leasehold improvements. Depreciation has not yet begun on property recently purchased, as it has not yet been put into service. Depreciation provided on equipment used to produce inventory, such as tools and molds, is included in cost of sales.

Long-Lived Assets

Indefinite-lived intangible assets principally consist of trademarks which are not amortized. The Company evaluates indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently when events occur or circumstances change, such as an unexpected decline in sales, that would more-likely-than-not indicate that the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable. When testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, the evaluation requires a comparison of the estimated fair value of the asset to the carrying value of the asset. The fair values used in our evaluations are estimated based upon discounted future cash flow projections using a weighted average cost of capital of 9.8% and 7.47% in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The cash flow projections are based upon a number of assumptions, including future sales levels, future cost of goods and operating expense levels, as well as economic conditions, changes to our business model or changes in consumer acceptance of our products which are more subjective in nature. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.

Intangible assets subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment testing whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an amortizable intangible asset may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators exist for an amortizable intangible asset, the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the expected service potential of the asset are compared to the carrying value of the asset. If our projection of undiscounted future cash flows is in excess of the carrying value of the intangible asset, no impairment charge is recorded. If our projection of undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the intangible asset, an impairment charge would be recorded to reduce the intangible asset to its fair value.

Revenue Recognition

The Company sells its products to department stores, perfumeries, specialty stores and domestic and international wholesalers and distributors. Our revenue contracts represent single performance obligations to sell our products to customers. Sales of such products by our domestic subsidiaries are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars, and sales of such products by our foreign subsidiaries are primarily denominated in either euro or U.S. dollars. The Company recognizes revenues when contract terms are met, the price is fixed and determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, and control of the assets has passed to the customer based on the agreed upon shipping terms. Net sales are comprised of gross revenues less returns, trade discounts and allowances. The Company does not bill its customers’ freight and handling charges. All shipping and handling costs, which aggregated $15.8 million, $10.0 million and $5.0 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. The Company grants credit to all qualified customers and does not believe it is exposed significantly to any undue concentration of credit risk. No one customer represented 10% or more of net sales in 2022, 2021 or 2020.

Sales Returns

Generally, the Company does not permit customers to return their unsold products. However, for U.S. based customers, we allow returns if properly requested, authorized and approved. The Company regularly reviews and revises, as deemed necessary, its estimate of reserves for future sales returns based primarily upon historic trends and relevant current data including information provided by retailers regarding their inventory levels. In addition, as necessary, specific accruals may be established for significant future known or anticipated events. The types of known or anticipated events that we consider include, but are not limited to, the financial condition of our customers, store closings by retailers, changes in the retail environment and our decision to continue to support new and existing products. The Company records its estimate of potential sales returns as a reduction of sales and cost of sales with corresponding entries to accrued expenses, to record the refund liability, and inventory, for the right to recover goods from the customer. The refund liability associated with estimated returns was $8.6 million and $5.1 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and the amounts recognized for the rights to recover products was $3.2 million and $1.9 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The physical condition and marketability of returned products are the major factors we consider in estimating realizable value. Actual returns, as well as estimated realizable values of returned products, may differ significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from our estimates, if factors such as economic conditions, inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from our expectations.

Payments to Customers

The Company records revenues generated from purchase with purchase and gift with purchase promotions as sales and the costs of its purchase with purchase and gift with purchase promotions as cost of sales. Certain other incentive arrangements require the payment of a fee to customers based on their attainment of pre-established sales levels. These fees have been recorded as a reduction of net sales.

Advertising and Promotion

Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and recorded as a component of cost of goods sold (in the case of free goods given to customers) or selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising and promotional costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $212.4 million, $171.1 million and $91.7 million for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Costs relating to purchase with purchase and gift with purchase promotions that are reflected in cost of sales aggregated $43.1 million, $36.9 million and $26.4 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Package Development Costs

Package development costs associated with new products and redesigns of existing product packaging are expensed as incurred.

Operating Leases

The Company leases its offices and warehouses, vehicles, and certain office equipment, substantially all of which are classified as operating leases. The Company currently has no material financing leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease assets and obligations are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

License Agreements

The Company’s license agreements generally provide the Company with worldwide rights to manufacture, market and sell fragrance and fragrance related products using the licensors’ trademarks. The licenses typically have an initial term of approximately 5 to 15 years, and are potentially renewable subject to the Company’s compliance with the license agreement provisions. The remaining terms, excluding potential renewal periods, range from approximately 1 to 12 years. Under each license, the Company is required to pay royalties in the range of 6% to 10% to the licensor, at least annually, based on net sales to third parties.

In certain cases, the Company may pay an entry fee to acquire, or enter into, a license where the licensor or another licensee was operating a pre-existing fragrance business. In those cases, the entry fee is capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over its useful life.

Most license agreements require minimum royalty payments, incremental royalties based on net sales levels and minimum spending on advertising and promotional activities. Royalty expenses are accrued in the period in which net sales are recognized while advertising and promotional expenses are accrued at the time these costs are incurred.

In addition, the Company is exposed to certain concentration risk. Most of our prestige fragrance brands are licensed from unaffiliated third parties, and our business is dependent upon the continuation and renewal of such licenses.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. The net deferred tax assets assume sufficient future earnings for their realization, as well as the continued application of currently enacted tax rates. Included in net deferred tax assets is a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, where management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the relevant jurisdiction. If the Company determines that a deferred tax asset will not be realizable, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset will result in a reduction of net earnings at that time. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax asset or liability in the accompanying financial statements.

Issuance of Common Stock by Consolidated Subsidiary

The difference between the Company’s share of the proceeds received by the subsidiary and the carrying amount of the portion of the Company’s investment deemed sold, is reflected as an equity adjustment in the consolidated balance sheets.

Treasury Stock

The Board of Directors may authorize share repurchases of the Company’s common stock (Share Repurchase Authorizations). Share repurchases under Share Repurchase Authorizations may be made through open market transactions, negotiated purchase or otherwise, at times and in such amounts within the parameters authorized by the Board. Shares repurchased under Share Repurchase Authorizations are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under various employee stock option plans. Treasury shares are accounted for under the cost method and reported as a reduction of equity. Share Repurchase Authorizations may be suspended, limited or terminated at any time without notice.

| (2) | Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

A novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced in late 2019 and in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. In response, various national, state, and local governments issued decrees prohibiting certain businesses from operating and certain classes of workers from reporting to work.

Retail store closings, event cancellations and a shutdown of international air travel brought our sales to a virtual standstill and caused a significant unfavorable impact on our results of operations in 2020.

Business significantly improved in the second half of 2020 and continued to improve throughout 2021 and 2022, as retail stores reopened, and consumers increased online purchasing. While we expect this trend to continue, the introduction of variants of COVID-19 in various parts of the world has caused the temporary re-implementation of governmental restrictions to prevent further spread of the virus. In addition, international air travel remains curtailed in many jurisdictions due to both governmental restrictions and consumer health concerns. While COVID-19 has significantly restricted international travel, the travel retail business is beginning to pick up. Lastly, the improved economy has put significant strains on our supply chain causing disruptions affecting the procurement of components, the ability to transport goods, and related cost increases. These disruptions have come at a time when demand for our product lines has never been stronger or more sustained. We have been addressing this issue since the beginning of 2021, by ordering well in advance of need and in larger quantities. Since 2021, we have strived to carry more inventory overall, source the same components from multiple suppliers and when possible, manufacture products closer to where they are sold. We do not expect the supply chain bottlenecks to begin lifting until the second half of 2023. Therefore, despite recent business improvement, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic might continue to have adverse effects on our results of our operations, financial position and cash flows through at least the first half of 2023.

| (3) | Recent Agreements

Lacoste

In December 2022, we closed a transaction agreement with Lacoste, whereby an exclusive and worldwide license was granted for the production and distribution of Lacoste brand perfumes and cosmetics. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. The license becomes effective in January 2024 and will last for 15 years.

Dunhill

In April 2022, we announced that the Dunhill fragrance license will expire on September 30, 2023 and will not be renewed. The Company will continue to produce and sell Dunhill fragrances until the license expires and will maintain the right to sell-off remaining Dunhill fragrance inventory for a limited time as is customary in the fragrance industry.

Salvatore Ferragamo

In October 2021, we closed on a transaction agreement with Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A., whereby an exclusive and worldwide license was granted for the production and distribution of Ferragamo brand perfumes. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. The license became effective in October 2021 and will last for 10 years with a 5-year optional term, subject to certain conditions.

With respect to the management and coordination of activities related to the license agreement, the Company operates through a wholly-owned Italian subsidiary based in Florence, that was acquired from Salvatore Ferragamo on October 1, 2021. The acquisition together with the license agreement was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

Emanuel Ungaro

In October 2021, we also entered into a 10-year exclusive global licensing agreement a with a 5-year optional term subject to certain conditions, with Emanuel Ungaro Italia S.r.l, for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances and fragrance-related products, under the Emanuel Ungaro brand. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry.

Donna Karan and DKNY

In September 2021, we entered into a long-term global licensing agreement for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances and fragrance-related products under the Donna Karan and DKNY brands. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. With this agreement, we are gaining several well-established and valuable fragrance franchises, most notably Donna Karan Cashmere Mist and DKNY Be Delicious, as well as a significant loyal consumer base around the world. In connection with the grant of license, we issued 65,342 shares of Inter Parfums, Inc. common stock valued at $5.0 million to the licensor. The exclusive license is effective July 1, 2022, and we are planning to launch new fragrances under these brands in 2024.

Rochas Fashion

Effective January 1, 2021, we entered into a new license agreement modifying our Rochas fashion business model. The new agreement calls for a reduction in royalties to be received. As a result, in the first quarter of 2021, we took a $2.4 million impairment charge on our Rochas fashion trademark. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we again took a $6.8 million impairment charge on the Rochas fashion trademark after an independent expert concluded that the valuation of the trademark was $11.3 million. The new license also contains an option for the licensee to buy-out the Rochas fashion trademarks in June 2025 at its then fair market value.

Land and Building Acquisition - Future Headquarters in Paris

In April 2021, Interparfums SA, our 73% owned French subsidiary, completed the acquisition of its future headquarters at 10 rue de Solférino in the 7th arrondissement of Paris from the property developer. This is an office complex combining three buildings connected by two inner courtyards, and consists of approximately 40,000 total sq. ft.

The purchase price includes the complete renovation of the site. As of December 31, 2022, $148.1 million of the purchase price, including approximately $4.4 million of acquisition costs, is included in property, equipment and leasehold improvements on the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. The purchase price has been allocated approximately $61.1 million to land and $87.0 million to the building. The building, which was delivered on February 28, 2022, includes the building structure, development of the property, façade waterproofing, general and technical installations and interior fittings that will be depreciated over a range of 7 to 50 years. The Company has elected to depreciate the building cost based on the useful lives of its components. Approximately $3.4 million of cash held in escrow is also included in property, equipment and leasehold improvements on the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2022.

The acquisition was financed by a 10-year €120 million (approximately $128.0 million) bank loan which bears interest at one-month Euribor plus 0.75%. Approximately €80 million of the variable rate debt was swapped for variable interest rate debt with a maximum rate of 2% per annum.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents including money market funds, short-term investments including marketable equity securities, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the short terms to maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of loans payable approximates fair value as the variable interest rates on the Company’s indebtedness approximate current market rates.

Foreign currency forward exchange contracts are valued based on quotations from financial institutions and the value of interest rate swaps are the discounted net present value of the swaps using third party quotes from financial institutions.

| (6) | Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge exposure related to receivables denominated in a foreign currency and occasionally to manage risks related to future sales expected to be denominated in a foreign currency. Before entering into a derivative transaction for hedging purposes, it is determined that a high degree of initial effectiveness exists between the change in value of the hedged item and the change in the value of the derivative instrument from movement in exchange rates. High effectiveness means that the change in the cash flows of the derivative instrument will effectively offset the change in the cash flows of the hedged item. The effectiveness of each hedged item is measured throughout the hedged period and is based on the dollar offset methodology and excludes the portion of the fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contract attributable to the change in spot-forward difference which is reported in current period earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness is also recognized as a gain or loss on foreign currency in the income statement. For hedge contracts that are no longer deemed highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued, and gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings. If it is probable that the forecasted transaction will no longer occur, then any gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to current-period earnings.

Amortization expense was $6.8 million, $5.9 million and $5.3 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense is expected to approximate $7.0 million in 2023, $13.3 million in 2024, $12.3 million in 2025, $10.5 million in 2026 and 2027. The weighted average amortization period for trademarks, licenses and other intangible assets with finite lives are 18 years, 14 years and 2 years, respectively, and 14 years on average.

The Company reviews intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. There was an impairment charge for trademarks with indefinite useful lives of $6.8 million and $2.4 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively, relating to our Rochas fashion business and an impairment charge for trademarks with indefinite useful lives of $0.9 million in 2022 relating to our Intimate trademark. The fair values used in our evaluations are estimated based upon discounted future cash flow projections using a weighted average cost of capital of 9.80%, 7.47%, and 6.99% as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The cash flow projections are based upon a number of assumptions, including, future sales levels and future cost of goods and operating expense levels, as well as economic conditions, changes to our business model or changes in consumer acceptance of our products which are more subjective in nature. The Company believes that the assumptions it has made in projecting future cash flows for the evaluations described above are reasonable and currently no other impairment indicators exist for our indefinite-lived assets. However, if future actual results do not meet our expectations, the Company may be required to record an impairment charge, the amount of which could be material to our results of operations.

The cost of trademarks, licenses and other intangible assets with finite lives is being amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the respective license or the intangible assets estimated useful life which range from three to twenty years. If the residual value of a finite life intangible asset exceeds its carrying value, then the asset is not amortized. The Company reviews intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Trademarks (finite lives) primarily represent Lanvin brand names and trademarks and in connection with their purchase, Lanvin was granted the right to repurchase the brand names and trademarks on July 1, 2027 for €70 million (approximately $7 5 million) (residual value) in accordance with an amendment signed in 2021. Because the residual value of the intangible asset exceeds its carrying value, the asset is not being amortized.

Loans payable – banks consist of the following:

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries have available a $20 million unsecured revolving line of credit due on demand, which bears interest at the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 2% (the SOFR was 4.3% as of December 31, 2022). The line of credit which has a maturity date of December 15, 2023, is expected to be renewed on an annual basis. Borrowings outstanding pursuant to lines of credit were zero as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The Company’s foreign subsidiaries have available credit lines, including several bank overdraft facilities totaling approximately $20 million. These credit lines bear interest at EURIBOR plus between 0.6% and 0.9% (EURIBOR was minus 0.576% at December 31, 2022). Borrowings outstanding pursuant to these bank overdraft facilities were zero as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

As there were no borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there is no weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

In December 2022, to finance Interparfums SA’s acquisition of the Lacoste trademark, the Company entered into a $53.3 million (€50 million) four-year loan agreement. The loan agreement bears interest at EURIBOR-1 month rates plus a margin of 0.825%. This variable rate debt was swapped for variable interest rate debt with a maximum rate of 2% per annum. The swap is a hedged derivative instrument and is therefore recorded at fair value and changes in fair value are reflected in other comprehensive income.

In April 2021, to finance the acquisition of Interparfums SA’s future corporate headquarters, the Company entered into a $128.0 million (€120 million) ten-year credit agreement. Approximately $85.3 million (€80.0 million) of the variable rate debt was swapped for variable interest rate debt with maximum rate of 2% per annum. The swap is a derivative instrument and is therefore recorded at fair value and changes in fair value are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Maturities of long-term debt subsequent to December 31, 2022 are approximately $30.4 million in 2023 and $28.7 million per year thereafter through 2033.

Leases

The Company leases its offices, warehouses and vehicles, substantially all of which are classified as operating leases. The Company currently has no material financing leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease assets and obligations are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

In determining lease asset value, the Company considers fixed or variable payment terms, prepayments, incentives, and options to extend or terminate, depending on the lease. Renewal, termination or purchase options affect the lease term used for determining lease asset value only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date for the location in which the lease is held in determining the present value of lease payments.

As of December 31, 2022, the weighted average remaining lease term was 5.8 years and the weighted average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liability was 2.6%. Rental expense related to operating leases was $5.6 million, $8.2 million, and $6.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Operating lease payments included in operating cash flows totaled $4.9 million and noncash additions to operating lease assets totaled $0.3 million.

Maturities of lease liabilities subsequent to December 31, 2022 are as follows:

Future advertising commitments are estimated based on planned future sales for the license terms that were in effect at December 31, 2022, without consideration for potential renewal periods. The above figures do not reflect the fact that our distributors share our advertising obligations. Royalty expense included in selling, general, and administrative expenses, aggregated $87.0 million, $68.9 million and $41.1 million, in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and represented 8.0%, 7.8% and 7.6% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Share-Based Payments

The Company maintains a stock option program for key employees, executives and directors. The plans, all of which have been approved by shareholder vote, provide for the granting of both nonqualified and incentive options. Options granted under the plans typically have a six-year term and vest over a four to five-year period. The fair value of shares vested aggregated $1.3 million, $1.4 million and $1.7 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Forfeitures are estimated based on historic trends. It is generally the Company’s policy to issue new shares upon exercise of stock options.

The following table sets forth information with respect to nonvested options for 2022:

Expected volatility is estimated based on historic volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of the option is estimated based on historic data. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant of the option and the dividend yield reflects the assumption that the dividend payout as authorized by the Board of Directors would maintain its current payout ratio as a percentage of earnings.

In March 2022, Interparfums SA approved an additional plan to grant an aggregate of 88,400 shares to all Interparfums SA employees and corporate officers having more than six months of employment at grant date, subject to certain corporate performance conditions. The shares, subject to adjustment for stock splits, will be distributed in June 2025 and will follow the same guidelines as the December 2018 plan.

The fair value of the grant had been determined based on the quoted stock price of Interparfums SA shares as reported by the Euronext on the date of grant. The estimated number of shares to be distributed of 85,062 has been determined taking into account employee turnover. The aggregate cost of the grant of approximately $4.1 million will be recognized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite three and a quarter year service period.

Similar to the December 2018 plan, in order to avoid dilution of the Company’s ownership of Interparfums SA, all shares distributed or to be distributed pursuant to these plans will be pre-existing shares of Interparfums SA, purchased in the open market by Interparfums SA. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company acquired 63,281 shares at an aggregate cost of $3.0 million.

All share purchases and issuances have been classified as equity transactions on the accompanying balance sheet.

Dividends

In October 2019, our Board of Directors authorized a 20% increase in the annual dividend to $1.32 per share on an annual basis. In April 2020, as a result of the uncertainties raised by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Directors authorized a temporary suspension of the annual cash dividend. In February 2021, the Board of Directors authorized a reinstatement of an annual dividend of $1.00, payable quarterly. In February 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a 100% increase in the annual dividend to $2.00 per share and in February 2023, the Board of Directors further increased the annual dividend to $2.50 per share. The next quarterly cash dividend of $0.625 per share is payable on March 31, 2023 to shareholders of record on March 15, 2023.
