Interparfums saw solid growth, driven by strong demand for its key brands. GUESS, the company’s top-performing U.S.-based brand, is on track to become the third-largest brand, with expected annual sales exceeding $200 million soon, supported by the brand’s growing momentum and the strength of the partnership.

IPAR’s Europe-Based Sales Performance
Europe-based net sales were $214 million in the fourth quarter, a 6% increase from the prior period, and reached $953 million for the full year, up 10% from 2023. This growth was driven by the strong performance of Jimmy Choo, the addition of Lacoste and effective execution across smaller brands.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, Interparfums’ U.S. based net sales reached $149 million, indicating a robust 16% year-over-year increase. For the full year, U.S. based net sales rose 12% to $511 million from the prior year. This growth was fueled by strong performances from GUESS, Donna Karan/DKNY and the addition of Roberto Cavalli.

Meanwhile, Roberto Cavalli exceeded expectations in its first year, generating $31 million in net sales.
Interparfums’ Growth Strategy
Interparfums has successfully achieved its sales target of $1.45 billion for 2024, which places the company well to meet its full-year 2024 earnings per share target of $5.15. This forecast excludes a non-recurring, non-cash impairment charge of approximately 7 cents per share related to trademarks.
Looking ahead to 2025, management acknowledges potential geopolitical and economic uncertainties that may impact visibility.

As a result, Interparfums is poised to achieve another record-setting year in 2025.
