Interparfums, Inc. IPAR announced its sales results for the fourth quarter and full year, which ended Dec. 31, 2024, highlighting strong performance driven by the strength of its brands. Looking ahead, the company remains optimistic about its prospects for 2025.
IPAR’s Solid Sales Numbers
For the fourth quarter of 2024, Interparfums achieved a 10% increase in net sales, reaching $362 million, marking its best-ever fourth-quarter performance. On a full-year basis, too, net sales rose 10% to $1.452 billion, in line with the company’s most recent predictions.
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.
The company’s top six brands, which account for about 70% of net sales, experienced a 5% increase in the fourth quarter and a 4% rise for the full year. The newer additions, Lacoste and Roberto Cavalli, made significant contributions to sales growth, accounting for 8% of quarterly sales growth and 9% of full-year growth.
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.
