Interparfums, Inc. ((IPAR - Free Report) ) reported second-quarter 2025 results, wherein both top and bottom lines missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Both net sales and earnings experienced year-over-year declines.
Management highlighted that U.S. demand, which accounted for 35% of second-quarter sales, remains strong despite a slowdown in global fragrance market growth. The company expressed confidence in its ability to navigate current challenges, supported by the strong brand portfolio and extensive distribution network. While headwinds affected second-quarter performance and are expected to persist in the second half, management believes that proactive measures will enable it to fully address these challenges by 2026.
