New York, New York,November 9, 2015: Inter Parfums, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: IPAR) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

· Sales by European based operations rose 6.5% to $110.1 million from $103.4 million; at comparable foreign currency exchange rates, net sales increased 16.8%;

· U.S. based operations generated net sales of $28.8 million, down 6.5% compared to $30.8 million;

· Gross margin was 61.8% of net sales compared to 56.1%;

· S,G&A expense as a percentage of net sales was 41.9% compared to 42.2%;

· Operating income rose 48% to $27.6 million compared to $18.7 million;

· Net income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. rose 28% to $14.2 million or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $11.1 million or $0.36 per diluted share.

Jean Madar, Chairman & CEO of Inter Parfums, Inc. noted, 'Despite the 16% depreciation of the euro versus the dollar from last year's third quarter coupled with negative market conditions in China, Russia, and Brazil, consolidated net sales improved 3.5% or 11.4% at comparable foreign currency exchange rates. As we reported last month, European based operations achieved a 6.5% increase in third quarter net sales, equating to a 16.8% increase at comparable foreign currency exchange rates, which was slightly offset by the 6.5% decline in third quarter U.S. based sales.'

Discussing European based operations, Mr. Madar noted, 'For the first nine months of 2015, net sales in local currency for our two largest brands, Montblanc and Jimmy Choo were up 6% and 51%, respectively, driven by a combination of new product introductions and the staying power of more established scents. Lanvin, the last of our top three brands, had a 1% decline in local currency brand sales, which are particularly sensitive to the state of Russia's economy. Among our mid-sized brands, we had good performances by Boucheron and Paul Smith fragrances, where local currency sales were up 26% and 18%, respectively, fueled by new product launches. By contrast, last year's first half launch and rollout of the Karl Lagerfeld fragrance duo made for a challenging comparison as year-to-date sales were down 45% in local currency.'

On the subject of year-to-date U.S. based operations, Mr. Madar pointed out, 'The 3.3% increase in net sales reflects 50% and 35% gains by Dunhill and Oscar de la Renta fragrances compared to the first nine months of 2014, offset by declines in other brands, most notably Anna Sui and its nearly 30% drop in brand sales.'

Mr. Madar closed by saying, 'The licensing agreements signed over the past twelve months with Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister and Coach, and our acquisition of the Rochas brand, are all important catalysts for future growth. As we previously announced, we plan to report our initial 2016 sales and earnings guidance next week on November 17th.'

Discussing factors impacting profitability, Russell Greenberg, Executive Vice President and CFO of Inter Parfums, Inc. stated, 'Our consolidated third quarter gross profit margin of 61.8% rose from 56.1% in last year's third quarter. Due to the strength of the U.S. dollar against the euro and its positive impact on the profitability of our European operations, the gross profit margin for our European operations was 64.8%, up 610 basis points from the third quarter of 2014. As we have reported, nearly 50% of our European operations' sales are denominated in dollars, while most of our costs are incurred in euro. During the third quarter of 2015, the average dollar/euro exchange rate was 1.11, a 16% strengthening of the dollar as compared to 1.33 in the third quarter of 2014. Gross margin for our U.S. operations was 50.3%, up 290 basis points from the third quarter of 2014, driven by a favorable mix shift towards newer fragrances from our prestige brands such as Oscar de la Renta and Dunhill. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were relatively flat compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting increased absorption of fixed costs in our European operations resulting from the higher sales level during the quarter.'

Mr. Greenberg pointed out, 'We ended the third quarter with working capital of $353 million, including approximately $215 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and $84.6 million of long-term debt relating to the term loan we used to finance the Rochas acquisition.'

2015 Guidance

Mr. Greenberg concluded by saying, 'We continue to expect net sales to be in the range of $460 million to $470 million, resulting in net income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. of $0.95 to $1.00 per diluted share. Our current guidance factors in negative market conditions in China, Russia and Brazil that have prevailed throughout this year. As always, our guidance assumes the dollar remains at current levels.'

Dividend

The Company's regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share will be paid on January 15, 2016 to shareholders of record on December 31, 2015.
