The core business of the group consisting of Interparfums SA and its subsidiaries ("Interparfums" or the "Group") is the development of prestigious fragrance lines.
The Group manages the entire fragrance lifecycle, from creation up to distribution in France and international markets. It oversees all stages of the process, including marketing, component manufacturing, product packaging, choice of promotional tools and communication strategies, whether for brands owned by the Group or under license agreements with major haute couture, ready‑to‑wear, jewelry or accessories houses. Under the license agreement model, a brand grants Interparfums the right to use its brand name in exchange for the payment of annual royalties linked to sales (see Note 6.2 for licensed brands and Note 6.3 for proprietary brands in the appendix to the consolidated financial statements in Part 3 of this Universal Registration Document).
The Group has chosen to outsource the entire manufacturing process to industrial partners, each providing specialist expertise in their respective fields, including fragrance formulation, glassware production, cap and packaging manufacturing.
The Group distributes its products worldwide (see Note 5.2 in the appendix to the consolidated financial statements in Part 3 of this Universal Registration Document). Distribution is carried out through wholly owned distribution subsidiaries or joint ventures, independent companies, subsidiaries of major groups specializing in cosmetics, and duty‑free operators.
Products are promoted and advertised by the Group's marketing teams.
The Group also owns the Rochas brand for fashion and accessories, which it used to operate through license agreements with partners for the design, production and global distribution of women's fashion, footwear and leather goods, men's fashion, watches and jewelry and eyewear under the brand. The income made by royalties based on a percentage of partners' sales are included in the Group's sales. In 2023, Interparfums laid the foundations for a new business model, shifting to direct control over the creative, promotional and advertising processes for women's fashion, footwear and leather goods. The Group has entrusted the manufacturing and distribution processes to industrial and commercial partners, each providing optimum expertise in their respective fields.
The Group's strategy is to become a major player in the global selective perfumery market through the creation and long‑term development of fragrance lines for prestige brands.
This strategy is built around a portfolio of luxury brands, either under exclusive license agreements or owned by the Group, in the fashion, leather goods, haute couture, fine jewelry and accessories sectors.
The choice of brands is based on their reputation, global positioning, their specific identifiable brand codes, rich history and international recognition.
Each brand is developed within a selective distribution network, by pursuing year after year a medium and long‑term growth, driven by regular launches to build a diverse and evolving product offering.
Through close collaboration between the Group's marketing departments and the brands, which has grown over the years, products are developed according to the needs and collections of each brand to offer a unique fragrance that represents shared values.
The strong, long‑standing relationships with these brands, combined with a deep understanding of their brand universe, make the Group a unique partner in the industry. This strategy, formulated with the Executive Committee and communicated to the teams responsible for its implementation, enables the Group to continuously benefit from new business opportunities.
For each brand and product line, the Group strives to develop concepts tailored to the image and positioning of each fashion house, ensuring that every creation "tells a story."
Equipped with a comprehensive set of marketing tools adapted to each line, the Group implements advertising strategies tailored to each product line and country, ranging from traditional media plans to social media communication.
The product development cycle, which typically takes 12 to 18 months, is managed by the Group's marketing and development teams in partnership with licensors.
With over 40 years of industrial experience, the Group has established long‑term collaborations with all its key partners (glass makers, packaging suppliers, fragrance producers and packaging specialists) and maintains full control over its creation and production processes.
The trusted relationships built over the years with industrial partners, combined with their high level of expertise, enables the Group to implement innovative industrial processes and optimize performance.
The manufacturing strategy is also based on a diverse network of industrial partners, allowing for multiple production sites for the same product. As a result, the risks of subcontractor failure and the optimization of production plans are kept under tight control. Particular attention is paid to the Business Continuity Plan.
With a 36,000 sqm dedicated logistics warehouse in France and with warehouses in the United States and Singapore, the Group benefits from a highly responsive supply chain, with very short production times.
The Group's products are distributed in over 100 countries and 25,000 retail sales points, leveraging long‑standing partnerships with subsidiaries, agents and distributors. The Group works with high‑performing partners who meet the quality standards of each brand.
Regular visits by a team of export managers to foreign distributors and visits by a team of sales representatives for France are organized throughout the year to present new products, marketing plans and in‑store promotional campaigns. These visits allow the Group to be fully confident that its partners have a thorough knowledge of its products and are fully aligned with the brand's identity, heritage and product universe.
Every two to three years, Interparfums organizes a three‑day seminar bringing together all its distributors from around the world. The most recent seminar, held in the spring 2024, was an opportunity to present all projects for 2025, meet with distributors, and involve them closely in the Group's development. It was also a unique opportunity for distributors to share engaging and inspiring moments with the Interparfums teams with whom they collaborate closely on a daily basis.
The Group is committed to maintaining a family‑oriented culture and a flexible organization with efficient hierarchical relationships, enabling streamlined processes and quick decision‑making. Equipped with specialized and experienced teams, the Group strives to maintain a high level of expertise across all areas including sales, marketing, production, finance, Legal Affairs, information technology (IT), human resources, and corporate social responsibility (CSR).
As the primary driver of value creation, the Group's employees are at the heart of Interparfums' strategy, which is built upon its ethical values, fostering motivation, professional fulfilment, and a shared Interparfums ethos, formalized in 2022 through the Responsible Employer Charter. Additionally, management attaches great importance to ensuring that all employees understand and are aligned with the Group's strategy. Regular employee engagement surveys are conducted to assess alignment with the Group's culture and strategic direction.
The Interparfums Group adopts a comprehensive approach to CSR, encompassing social, environmental and ethical considerations, while ensuring transparency through an assessment of related risks, including physical risks and transitional risks linked to climate change.
To effectively manage risks and opportunities at the appropriate level, the Group has identified its key CSR priorities in line with the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD): Interests and perspectives of external stakeholders, environment, social with a focus on employees, value chain stakeholders, consumers and governance including business ethics issues. To address these priorities, a CSR policy has been implemented by the Group's operational and functional departments, involving all employees. This policy is supported by an action plan, performance indicators and targets to ensure precise operational monitoring.
For many years, the Group has chosen to integrate a strong social and societal dimension into its development, built around an attractive policy of employee benefits and solid partnerships with its stakeholders.
At the environmental level, while the Group does not operate its own industrial facilities, it has always supported its manufacturing partners by setting high‑quality standards, promoting best manufacturing practices and encouraging innovation. In recent years, considering the challenges related to climate change, biodiversity conservation and circular economy, Interparfums aims to become a proactive contributor to environmental sustainability on a broader scale.
Convinced that the sustainability of its business model depends on addressing sustainable development issues, the Group chose to adapt its approach and, in early 2021, on the initiative of Executive Management, created a dedicated governance body ‑ the CSR Executive Committee. This Committee, made up of the CSR, Finance, Supply Chain & Operations, Human Resources, Legal and Communications Departments, is responsible for formalizing and driving the Group's CSR strategy defined according to the following policy:
This CSR Executive Committee meets on average once a month, or more frequently if necessary. In 2024, this committee worked on all the topics listed above. It also approved the materiality matrix presented in Part 2 of the Universal Registration Document and updated the risk factor matrix in Part 1 of the Universal Registration Document. Following a training session, it reviewed and finalized the double materiality matrix, anticipating the requirements of the new European sustainability reporting framework under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). These developments are regularly monitored, particularly in the context of the ongoing Omnibus Law. Its members monitor Interparfums' CSR performance, which is regularly presented to the Board's CSR Committee and subsequently to the Board of Directors. They also approve the CSR frameworks applied by Interparfums and the initiatives required to improve its CSR performance, as assessed by non‑financial rating agencies.

With a design studio based in Milan, Italy, the label harnesses the country's history and craftsmanship, yet offers a global perspective on design and trends.

With quarterly sales once again exceeding €200 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, Interparfums Group successfully achieved its full‑year targets. Sales for 2024 amounted to €880.5 million, up 10.3% from 2023 at both current and constant exchange rates. This performance reflects continued strong demand for the portfolio's best‑selling brands and a very positive first year for Lacoste fragrances.

Following a 16% growth in 2023, Jimmy Choo flagrances recorded a new increase in sales of almost 7% in 2024, with continuing brand development initiatives thanks to the successful launch of the I Want Choo Le Parfum line, which started last June.
With yearly sales once again exceeding €200 million, Montblanc flagrances consolidate their position, supported by the strength of the Montblanc Legend and Montblanc Explorer lines.
Following strong sales growth in 2023, steady demand for almost all of the Coach's historical women's and men's lines enabled the business to remain robust in 2024, ahead of the launch of two major new lines in 2025.
Lacoste flagrances achieved sales of nearly €80 million in 2024, well ahead of expectations at the beginning of the year, and delivered a very promising first year of operations thanks to the solid performance of the L.12.12 lines and the successful launch of the Lacoste Original line, both in France and abroad.
A return to normal business levels in Eastern Europe and Asia in the second half of the year enabled Lanvin fragrances to limit the decline in sales in a year with no major launches.
Rochas flagrances posted modest growth, driven by strong results from the Eau de Rochas Citron Soleil and Eau de Rochas Orange Horizon lines, the first instalments of a new collection inspired by the Eau de Rochas line.

In North America, following the strong acceleration in sales in the recent years (+27% in 2022 and +13% in 2023), driven by several highly successful launches of the Jimmy Choo and Coach lines, the business remained positive in 2024, with sales of more than €332 million in a consistently buoyant flagrance market, particularly in the United States.
After a 29% sales increase in 2023, the positive trend continued in South America with a 13% growth in 2024, bolstered by the takeover of Lacoste flagrance distribution and the strength of Montblanc flagrances.
While some Asian markets are consolidating their activity after three years of very strong growth (Australia) or are showing less promising momentum (South Korea), the overall trend remains positive in Singapore and Japan, as well as in China (+18%).
After a challenging first half in Eastern Europe, resumption of shipments to certain markets, the solid performance of top‑selling brands and the takeover of Lacoste flagrances distribution prompted a return to growth in 2024.
Thanks to a 40% increase in sales in the second half of 2024, Western Europe achieved nearly 25% growth for the full year 2024, driven by the launch of the Jimmy Choo I Want Choo Le Parfum and Lacoste Original lines.
Sales in France exceeded expectations, driven by the excellent performance of the Rochas and Jimmy Choo brands. This performance was further enhanced by the remarkable contribution from the distribution of Lacoste flagrances and the mid‑year launch of the Lacoste Original line.
Finally, in the Middle East, despite the continuing impact of ongoing conflicts and a reduction in the number of points of sale in several markets, performance remained positive thanks to Montblanc, Jimmy Choo and Lacoste fragrances.

Moderate price increases implemented in early 2022 and 2023 softened the impact of higher raw material and packaging costs, and kept gross margins high in both 2023 and 2024.
Interparfums continued its strategy of focusing on the sustainable development of its brands, by investing €187 million, or more than 21% of sales, in marketing and advertising. By controlling fixed costs, current operating income was €178 million, up 11% from 2023. Current operating margin exceeded 20% for the second consecutive year.
With a more standard tax rate, net income followed the same trend, reaching €130 million, up 10% from 2023, resulting in a net margin of nearly 15%, in line with the previous year.

| Borrowings and financial liabilities | 123.0 | 133.4 |
While shorter procurement lead times in recent months have reduced inventories from their peak in summer 2024, Interparfums intends to maintain high levels of finished goods so as to respond quickly and efficiently to customer demand, particularly now that it has taken over the distribution of Lacoste fragrances.
The Group's financial position remains very strong, with €57 million in cash net of borrowings and financial liabilities, and shareholders' equity of nearly €700 million, or 66% of total assets at December 31, 2024.
In accordance with Article 16 of European regulation 2017/1129, the Group has limited its presentation to risks that are specifically related to the Group, either by the nature of its business or by the specific nature of some of its operations.
The generic risks of the Group are therefore excluded from this classification.
The Group presents a map of risks organized according to their materiality and probability of occurrence. These risks are presented schematically below to illustrate the issues at stake, without replacing the explanations that follow. Several risks related to employment, environmental and social issues have been specifically identified and incorporated into the risk matrix. These issues are also considered in the description and management of other risks.
Considering the measures put in place by the Group to manage these risks, the mapping process resulted in a classification of risks into four categories: business risks, manufacturing risks, financial risks and legal and IT risks.
The risk categories listed below are not presented in order of importance. However, within each category, the risk factors are presented in a decreasing order of importance, as determined by the Group at the date of this Universal Registration Document.
Regarding the risks associated with the war in Ukraine, the Group has chosen to provide the following summary to facilitate the understanding of the overall impact.
For many years, the Company's products have been sold in the Russia, Belarus and Ukraine by an independent agent with a network of retail outlets. Interparfums Group has no industrial or commercial facilities or employees in these three countries.
In 2022, sales in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine represent less than 4% of total Group sales, with no outstanding receivables at December 31. In 2024, sales in this region represented 3% of total Group sales, with no overdue receivables at December 31.
Given its 30‑year commercial relation with its partner in the region, the Group has chosen to support its partner by maintaining a minimum level of activity combined with receivables collection agreements, thereby minimizing its exposure to risk while complying with the sanctions adopted by the European Union, in particular the export restrictions set out in Council Regulation (EU) 2022/428 of March 15, 2022.
The war in Ukraine put strong pressure on the energy and raw materials markets in 2022, triggering a global inflation which continued in 2023 and 2024. The Group's exposure was particularly high due to the rising cost of glassware and other components, although these increases stabilized in 2024. Higher sales prices in 2023 and tight control of fixed costs, including in 2024, enabled the Group to not only offset the effects of inflation but also improve the net margin in 2024.

The licensing system used in the perfume and cosmetics industry consists of a brand name company for ready‑to‑wear, jewelry or accessories granting the licensee (Interparfums) a right to use the brand name in exchange for royalty payments linked to sales. The associated risk relates to the possibility of the non‑renewal of agreements upon expiration.
Several factors tend to mitigate or eliminate this risk:
Furthermore, Interparfums owns brand names and international trademarks for Lanvin in class 3 (perfumes) and Rochas in classes 3 (perfumes) and 25 (fashion), which reduces the overall impact of the risk of the non‑renewal of license agreements. In the same vein, at the end of 2024, InterparfumsSA acquired Off-White brand names and registered trademarks for flagrance and cosmetic products in Class 3, subject to an existing license that expires on December 31, 2025, when InterparfumsSA will begin commercial use of the flagrance brands. This strategy also helps reducing the potential impact of the risk of non‑renewal of license agreements
| Description of risk | Assessment and management of the risk |
|---|---|
| As in any business, the loss of a key employee represents a risk for Interparfums. It is crucial to maintain business continuity and ensure organizational resilience in the face of this type of loss. |
This risk is managed through the Group's recruitment and talent management policies, which include customized training and development programs. |
| Employees' wishes and requests are collected as part of their development interviews. A chart of our business lines is kept up to date to anticipate recruitment needs. |
|
| To best prepare for a potential transition, the Executive Committee was expanded in 2025 based on the professional and interpersonal skills of its members. |

|---|---|
| With sales in more than 100 countries, the Group regularly reassesses its exposure to country risks. |
In view of the Group's collection policy, the monitoring of receivables and the quality of the financial health of our distributors, no country risk provisions have been recorded in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. |
| The Group generates a significant percentage of its sales outside France, including 6.3% in the Middle East, 9% in South America and less than 3% in Russia, where geopolitical instability is monitored by the department responsible for trade receivable collection. |

March 15, 2022.
| Description of the risk | Assessment and management of the risk |
|---|---|
| The Group's reputation plays an important role in its relationship with its licensees and other key stakeholders (customers, suppliers, employees and job applicants). |
The Group upholds strong values and maintains close relationships with its licensors, external stakeholders (customers and suppliers) and employees. |
| Damage to the Group's image and reputation, whether based on proven facts or not, regardless of its nature or origin, whether internal or external (social networks, press), in good or bad faith, would adversely impact the Group's image and therefore ultimately its sales, relationships with licensees, activities and development. |
Regarding employees, the Group's good reputation is reflected in the large number of external applications it receives when vacancies are posted. |
| Thanks to the quality of its products, the choice of suppliers and industrial facilities, the choice of a selective distribution network and local management of employees, the Group effectively limits the risk of negative information being spread against it. The implementation of a whistleblowing hotline, open to both internal and external stakeholders, allows anyone to express their concerns within the legal framework. An engagement survey is also conducted regularly, ensuring that the voice of employees is heard. |
|
| In addition, the Group's partners have signed the "Business Ethics Charter" and the Group employees enforce its "Responsible Employer Charter". These two charters greatly reduces the likelihood of this risk and limits the potential adverse impact if it does occur. The Group also enforces the Middlenext anti‑corruption Code of Conduct. The Group has also drawn up a corruption risk map and raised awareness of the issue among all its employees. |
|
| The implementation of a supplier traceability platform based on the risks associated with their activity will also help to mitigate this risk. |
| Description of the risk | Assessment and management of the risk |
|---|---|
| Interparfums' reputation is also defined by the image of its brands, which are part of the Group's intellectual capital. Major damage to the image and reputation of a licensee would affect Interparfums' image and could affect its ability to continue its activities and development. |
The Group ensures that its licensees have a code of business ethics or a code of good conduct. |
| The Group also maintains close relationships with its licensees, which facilitates the joint management of any potential risk situations. |
|
| Finally, the Group's licensees are major players in the world of jewelry, ready‑to‑wear and accessories and are |
subject to regulatory and legal constraints in terms of due diligence, which Interparfums shares as an integral part of its value chain.
| Description of the risk | Assessment and management of the risk |
|---|---|
| Interparfums' Production Department is responsible for supplying raw materials to partner factories. Production risks result from the possibility that manufacturing partners may not be able to manufacture products on time for their distribution. |
To mitigate this risk, the Group implements production plans early in the process in partnership with manufacturers. These measures are supplemented by securing multiple supplies of molds for bottles and related items, as well as multiple production sites used. |
| In view of the risks associated with climate change and biodiversity loss, the Group specifies that none of the areas where its packing service facilities are located, mainly in France and Europe, are subject to identified environmental risks. |
Production line launch plans are regularly updated and monitored with component suppliers, combined with the use of multiple suppliers selected by the Group, which limits the risk of supply chain disruptions. |
| The Group constantly seeks new suppliers and ensures the existence of alternative procurement sources to prevent risks of dependency. |
|
| The Group also refers to the CSR assessments of its suppliers provided by the Ecovadis platform. Their performance levels are closely monitored by the Supply Chain & Operations department and corrective action plans are proposed where necessary. The implementation of a supplier traceability platform, based on the risks associated with their activity, will also help to mitigate this risk. |
|
| Using the Thinkhazard tool, the Group has analyzed the exposure of its packing service providers to the risks of coastal flooding, water scarcity and extreme heat. The level of risk is considered to be low to medium. In addition, none of the Group's strategically important sites are located in protected Natura 2000 areas or areas under the responsibility of the Fédération des Conservatoires d'Espaces Naturels. |
| Description of the risk | Assessment and management of the risk |
|---|---|
| The commitment to the safety of consumers using the Group's products is fundamental to the manufacturing process. A case of legal or regulatory non‑compliance of products throughout the manufacturing process could result in the destruction or recall of the products under investigation. |
The Group systematically and strictly complies with the regulations and laws of the countries in which it operates. The Regulatory department within the Production and Supply Chain department is responsible for controlling the formulations of our products. The Quality department constantly monitors subcontractors throughout the production chain for defects and non‑compliance. Cosmetovigilance is carried out by the regulatory department. |
| The constant monitoring of regulations developments, with the help of the Professional Association of Cosmetics Manufacturers, enables Interparfums to ensure strict compliance with regulations, particularly with regard to molecules present in formulas, for example in the event of a ban. The Group is able to exclude them from its products within a limited timeframe in relation to the perfume development cycle. |

|---|---|
| The Group uses ingredients of natural origin in the composition of its fragrances taking into account the sustainability of these ingredients in a context of global warming and decreasing access to these resources. |
The Group works closely on these issues with its perfume suppliers, who are all major players in the perfume industry. The latter have confirmed their ability to ensure continuity of supply based on their varietal selections and agricultural management, particularly in terms of water supply and usage. |
| Description of the risk | Assessment and management of the risk | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| A significant share of the Group's assets consist of intangible assets representing upfront license fees or the purchase price of own brands, whose value largely depends on future operating performances. |
Should a change occur in the underlying assumptions on which this valuation is based, a reduction in the value of shareholders' equity through profit or loss would be recorded. |
||
| The valuation of intangible assets also implies recourse to objective judgments and complex estimates concerning items uncertain by nature. |
However, the 3 main brands in the portfolio, accounting for 69% of sales, either did not have an upfront license fee or had a negligible carrying value after amortization at December 31, 2024. |
||
| The risk of impairment is therefore limited to the other brands and in particular to the company's own brands. However, the Group has a resilient business model that allows it to adjust variable costs to preserve the net margin should production costs increase or sales decline. The risk of having to recognize a significant impairment charge for our fragrance brands is therefore limited. |
| Description of the risk | Assessment and management of the risk |
|---|---|
| A significant portion of the Group's sales is denominated in foreign currencies, primarily in US Dollars (50.2% of sales) and, to a lesser extent, in British Pounds (4.2% of sales). |
The Group's foreign exchange risk management policy aims to hedge trade receivables for the year in US dollars and pounds sterling. To achieve this, the company uses forward foreign exchange contracts, following strict procedures prohibiting speculative transactions. |
| Description of the risk | Assessment and management of the risk | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| In light of the nature of its business and the diversity of its suppliers' and customers' geographical locations, Interparfums does not foresee any risk resulting from physical changes associated with climate change which could have a material financial impact for the Group in the medium term. However, regulatory developments in this area, both at national and European level, may require the Group to adapt certain procedures. |
Conscious of its impact with regards to greenhouse gas emissions, notably by purchasing goods and its logistics operations, the Group is committed to limiting its carbon footprint. |
||
| To this end, the Group has decided to address all impacts associated with its value chain and to introduce a low‑carbon |
|||
| trajectory which will include the action plans of its major suppliers. |
|||
| This information, including the measurement of greenhouse gas emissions (scope 1, 2 and 3), is provided below in Part 2 of this Universal Registration Document. |
|||
| The Group thus intends to comply with future regulations, including those related to carbon neutrality. It follows the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures) and reports to the CDP to share its climate‑related data with all its stakeholders. |
|||
| To align with the industry best practices, the Group is working on establishing a transition plan in line with the trajectory defined by the Paris Agreement, which will also be submitted to SBTi (Science-Based Targets initiative). |

| In an environment of digital transformation and constantly evolving technologies, the Group's activities are dependent on increasingly automated digital processes. As a result, a dysfunction or shutdown of systems or loss of data could have a significant impact on the Group's business. |
The IT Department has established strict security rules for infrastructures, applications and access rights. |
||
| It has also installed equipment and tools to protect and update security against intrusions, cyber‑attacks and system obsolescence. It carries out regular penetration testing. InterparfumsSA also organized training sessions in 2024 on the prevention of cyber‑attack risks for all employees. New employees are systematically trained in the subject. |
|||
| In addition, the Group adopted an IT Charter that defines the rights and duties of employees, as users of the information system, to ensure that the information technology resources are used in a secure environment complying with the procedures of internal control. A specific Charter for the protection of personal data sets out all the best practices in this area, and the Group's approach is based on training its employees in the subject. |
The Group has implemented risk management measures based on the 2007 AMF reference framework, updated in July 2010.
The purpose of risk management procedures is to:
The system is based on a three‑step process:
Risk management responsibilities are exercised at every reporting level of the Group. Furthermore, the limited number of levels in the decision‑making process and the contribution of line management to strategic considerations facilitates the identification and handling of risks.
This assessment is performed annually and involves identifying assets of key importance, analyzing potential risks, existing or emerging, by type of tasks assigned to each department concerned and meetings with the Operating Departments concerned.
The Board of Directors is informed of the features of this risk mapping as well as the remedial action plans.
The Group's internal control system is based on the international COSO 2013 framework and complies with the provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, applicable to the US parent company because it is listed on NASDAQ. The COSO framework objectives are divided into three distinct areas:
The system is in turn based on five components:
No internal control system can provide an absolute guarantee of achieving these Group objectives. The probability of achieving such objectives is subject to limits inherent in any system of control, related notably to uncertainties concerning the external environment, the exercise of judgment or problems that may arise in response to human error or simple error, or the need to perform cost‑benefit analysis before implementing any controls.
The internal control system is operated by a team of managers and senior executives working under the authority of Executive Management, which reports to the Board of Directors.
The Company is organized into two divisions:
The Group's three foreign operating subsidiaries apply internal procedures relating to the preparation and processing of accounting and financial information.
These features are based on documentary tools and awareness raising initiatives for management bodies and staff about the internal control and risk management principles adopted within the Group. Accordingly, the Group has implemented the following tools:
It outlines the professional conduct to be adopted, notably in the areas of compliance with laws and regulations, preventing conflicts of interest and financial transparency in order to prevent situations of fraud.
This document defines the rights and obligations of employees, users of the information system, to ensure that the information technology resources are used in a secure environment complying with the procedures of internal control.

All Interparfums employees and stakeholders have access to an internal whistleblowing website. This platform, which is secure and guarantees the confidentiality and security of exchanges, enables anyone to report any situation that might appear to be in breach of the Group's ethics.
Its introduction was accompanied by information detailing the procedure for filing a report, as well as the data confidentiality policy in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
More generally, a Data Protection Officer (DPO) is responsible for ensuring compliance with all RGPD-related measures.
Should an incident the reported, an Ethics Committee made up of the General Counsel, the Human Resources Director and the Corporate, Compliance & DPO Officer, is responsible for conducting the relevant investigations and, if necessary, calling on the services of a specialized outside firm to deal with the matter.
In application of Article 18 of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 (the Market Abuse Regulation or MAR), employees having access to inside information and all Directors are registered on the company's list of insiders. These persons undertake to respect the limits imposed by Article 8 of this regulation regarding the disclosure of inside information and the acquisition and/or sale of the Company's securities, directly or indirectly. A list has also been drawn up of persons outside the company with access to inside information within the framework of their professional relations with the issuer.
The internal control system is implemented at every level of the Company. This system is spearheaded by the following: the Board of Directors, the Executive Management, the Executive Committee, The Finance Department, and particularly the Internal Control Department, which reports to the latter.
Internal control procedures are designed to secure the different processes used to achieve the objectives set by the Company.
These procedures are built around the main areas identified as potential risks: key operational, accounting and financial processes such as the sales/accounts receivable cycle, purchasing/accounts payable cycle, inventory management, cash management, fixed assets, taxes, personnel expenses, preparation of financial information and information systems management.
The relevance and effectiveness of procedures are regularly reassessed, and new procedures are introduced to provide a framework for deploying new tools to produce accounting and financial information.
The internal control guidelines rely significantly on the integrated SAP ERP. This enterprise tool makes it possible to automate a significant number of controls, thus strengthening their effectiveness.
The implementation of internal control process for the production of accounting data is based on planned procedures for account closings, close collaboration between the different support functions and operational departments, analysis of the relevance of reported information and a detailed review of the accounts by Executive Management for the purpose of their validation before the final closing.
Meetings are organized to coordinate activity with the different departments concerned in order to ensure the exhaustive nature of information provided to prepare the accounts.
Procedures for accounting closings are based on instructions and a timetable originating from the Finance Department which assigns precise tasks to each participant in this process. This timetable is distributed to all Group subsidiaries in order to ensure that deadlines for the production of consolidated financial statements are met.
The production of interim and annual financial consolidated financial statements is based on IFRS guidelines.
The consolidated financial statements produced by the Consolidation Department are analyzed by the Management Control Department in relation to its forecasts and then validated by the Finance Department. The group's main entities are also audited by an outside firm at least once a year.
The financial communications process is subject to a clearly defined reporting schedule for information destined for financial markets and market authorities. This schedule ensures that communications comply with the requirements of applicable laws and regulations relating to financial disclosures both concerning the nature of information to be disclosed, the required deadlines and compliance with the principle of equal access to information by all shareholders. The Legal and Finance Departments ensure that disclosures are made within the required deadlines and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Internal control tests are performed annually in compliance with Section 404 of the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
These effectiveness tests are performed at the Group's two main entities: Interparfums SA and its US subsidiary Interparfums Luxury Brands Inc. The coverage is considered satisfactory by the Group's financial and management teams.
If processes and the associated controls do not exist or are not sufficiently formalized, a remediation plan is implemented and monitored by the manager concerned.
The results are reported jointly to the Finance Department and General Management, who bring them to the attention of the Board of Directors.
The ex ternal auditors of the parent company Interparfums Inc., based in the United States, conducts a yearly audit on the internal control of the Group Interparfums Inc. within the framework of Article 404 of the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act, that includes the subsidiaries Interparfums SA and Interparfums Luxury Brands.

The dividend payout policy, introduced in 1998, ensures that shareholders receive a return on their investment, while at the same time associating them with the Group's expansion.
In April 2024, for the 2023 financial year, the Company paid a dividend of €1.15 per share, representing 67% of the net income for the year (€1.05 for the previous year).
In 2025, the Board of Directors will propose to the General Meeting the distribution of a dividend of €1.15 per share for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Pursuant to Articles 241‑1 et seq. of the AMF General Regulations, this paragraph describes the share buyback program that will be submitted for authorization to the General Meeting of April 17, 2025.
In the fifteenth resolution, the General Meeting of 17 April 2025 is asked to renew the authorization given to the Board of Directors to implement the share buyback program in order to achieve the following objectives:
Extract from the fifteenth resolution submitted for the approval of the General Meeting of April 17, 2025:
The General Meeting, having reviewed the report of the Board of Directors, authorizes the Board, for a period of eighteen months, in accordance with Articles L. 22‑10‑62 et seq. and L. 225‑210 et seq. of the French Commercial Code, to proceed, on one or more occasions and at the times it deems appropriate, with the repurchase of the Company's own shares, up to a maximum number of shares representing no more than 2.5% of the total share capital as of the date of this Meeting, subject to adjustment to account for any capital increases or reductions that may occur during the term of the program.
The maximum purchase price is set at €80 per share. In the event of a capital operation, particularly a stock split, reverse stock split or the free allocation of shares to shareholders, the aforementioned amount will be adjusted in the same proportions (a multiplier coefficient equal to the ratio between the number of shares composing the capital before the operation and the number of shares after the operation).
The maximum amount of the operation is set at €152,232,400.
In accordance with the fifteenth resolution submitted to the General Meeting of April 17, 2025, this buyback program may be implemented for a period of 18 months from the date of the meeting, i.e. no later than October 16, 2026.
Transactions relating to the share buyback program in 2024 are described in Note 3.10.3 "Treasury shares" to the consolidated financial statements.
The breakdown of Interparfums Inc. shareholders as at December 31, 2024 is as follows:

Details of the percentages of voting rights are given in Chapter 2.3 "Ownership of Interparfums capital stock and voting rights" in Part 5 "Information on the Company and its capital".

In France, Interparfums attained roughly a 5% share of the selective distribution market of prestige perfumes. In some foreign countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico and China, the Group's estimates its share of the selective perfume market at between 2% and 5%. The global selective perfume market is estimate at approximately US\$30 billion (internal source).
Interparfums operates in a sector dominated by about ten major historic players in the perfume and cosmetics market that have fragrance divisions with billions of euros in sales. There exist around ten mid‑size players like Interparfums also operating in this segment with sales ranging between €100 million and €1‑2 billion.
The main groups operating in this sector are L'Oréal, Coty, Shiseido or Euroitalia for mainly brands under license and LVMH (Christian Dior, Guerlain, Givenchy, Kenzo, Bulgari), Estée Lauder, Chanel and Puig for mainly own brands.
While Interparfums has also developed a brand portfolio in the luxury universe, the approach it applies is fundamentally different. Its own business model is based on methodical long‑term development focused on creation and building customer loyalty rather than volume and advertising.
None.
The company has once again had an excellent year. Our growth was primarily driven by Lacoste fragrances, in the first year devoted to taking over the distribution and relaunching the brand. In 2025, we expect to maintain our growth with a sales target now set at between €930 and €935 million, following the recent appreciation of the US dollar..
Since its very beginnings, the Group has sought to create value for all its stakeholders. The success of Interparfums is built on offering high‑quality products to consumers worldwide, ensuring they align with the identity of each licensed brand. Formalizing a Corporate Social

In a constantly evolving environment, mapping all of Interparfums' stakeholders helps to better identify CSR challenges and expectations across the entire value chain. The key stakeholders identified are licensors, employees, suppliers and subcontractors, distributors and the broader financial community. This approach creates solid links with each stakeholder group.

Stakeholder mapping:

INTERPARFUMS
Interparfums has identified its CSR challenges based on the expectations of its stakeholders and the market. A simple materiality analysis was then carried out to highlight the priorities to be addressed in the coming years to ensure the model's sustainability. With a view to aligning with peers, the simple materiality matrix below presents the ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards).

CSR issues according to ESRS: Social and societal Environment Governance
The CSR issue assessment was conducted by the CSR Executive Committee, the governance body responsible for leading the Group's CSR strategy. The action plan and indicators presented in the Annual Report are aligned with this matrix.
Before the Omnibus Law, under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), work on the double materiality matrix was undertaken in project mode throughout 2024. This was presented to the CSR Executive Committee and subsequently to the CSR Board Committee in November 2024, before final approval by the Board of Directors in November 2024.
Interparfums has adopted a comprehensive approach to integrating social, environmental, societal responsibility and transparency into its business operations. The Group continues to develop its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy year after year, implemented by its Operational and Functional Divisions with the involvement of all employees. It identifies its key priorities, structured around several key areas: responsibilities towards external stakeholders, environmental impact, employees, and consumers, all in alignment with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
To support this approach, a CSR Executive Committee was set up at the beginning of 2021 at the initiative of General Management. Comprising representatives from the Supply Chain & Operations, Human Resources, Finance, Legal, and Communications departments, this committee met six times in 2024. After formalizing the Group's CSR strategy under the leadership of General Management, the Committee is responsible for its implementation and oversight, with the ambition to:
A CSR Committee has also been set up within the Board of Directors. Ms. Caroline Renoux (see her profile in Section 5.2 - CSR Governance) was appointed as an independent director and Chair of the CSR Committee, which met twice in 2024. Its role is to ensure that CSR remains a major and central focus within the Board of Directors, particularly by overseeing climate transition strategies, biodiversity loss issues, and supply chain resilience. The Committee is also
highly attentive to social issues, both within Interparfums and across its upstream value chain. Its members receive regular training on the issues covered by the ESRS. In 2024, they attended two training sessions, one on the double materiality matrix and the other on biodiversity. They also attended a Climate Fresk workshop.
In line with our Corporate Social Responsibility strategy, the table below sets out the main objectives set by the Group and compares them with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the ESRS.

Scope 2 covers indirect energy‑related greenhouse gas emissions, i.e. those relating to electricity and the heating network to which the new head office on rue de Solférino is connected. Scope 3 refers to indirect emissions in an organization's supply chain, i.e. those that are indirectly linked to its activity, both upstream and downstream.
Through its operations and business development, Interparfums has identified the following key stakeholder priorities:

Since signing its first licensing agreement in 1988, Interparfums has developed a substantial portfolio of luxury brands under license. Engagement with fashion houses (Maisons) is always initiated by senior management, who cultivate and maintain close relationships with licensors.
Through close collaboration between the Group's marketing departments and the brands, which has increased over the years, products are developed according to the desires and collections of each brand, to offer a unique fragrance that represents shared values.
The small scale of Interparfums' teams and our permanent, privileged contacts mean we develop perfect knowledge of the universe, maintained over the years to offer brands quality products that support their brand image. It is in understanding their world and proposing products that respect the unique codes of each brand that the relationship becomes unique and privileged.
As each continent and region of the world has its own tastes, identity and olfactory culture, as well as its own sensibility and attachment to a brand, there is no single destination for a perfume.
Interparfums has developed long‑standing relationships with its distributors in each of the countries or regions in which the Group operates. 132 employees use their expertise in France, the United States and Singapore to distribute its fragrances in over 100 countries.
Every two to three years, Interparfums organizes a three‑day seminar for all its distributors from around the world. The last seminar, organized in spring 2024, was an opportunity to present all the 2025 projects, to meet all the distributors and to involve them closely in the Group's development. It was also a special time for distributors to share warm, welcoming and inspiring moments with the Interparfums teams with whom they work closely on a daily basis.
Supplier specifications, the supplier portal, the Responsible Purchasing Charter and the Business Ethics Charter form the basis of the Group's commitments to working closely and constructively with suppliers and partners. The Responsible Purchasing policy formalized at the end of 2024 and available on the website https://www.interparfums-finance.fr/specifies Interparfums' expectations, particularly in terms of CSR, in order to engage them to a joint progress approach.
Most of the subcontractors' factories and the warehouse for storing finished products are in Haute Normandie (France). The activity generated by Interparfums thus contributes to the development of the local economy.

|---|---|---|---|
| France | 58% | 54% | 63% |
| Europe (excluding France) | 25% | 31% | 28% |
| Asia | 17% | 11% | 4% |

The Group maintains very long‑term relationships of quality and trust with the majority of its suppliers, subcontractors and other service providers. They are essential partners for the Group in meeting its needs for raw materials, packaging and promotional products. Due to quality and performance requirements, the choice and then management of relations with its partners in the field of production represent a major challenge for the Group.
As well as working with them to manage costs, quality and innovation, the Group is committed to developing a sustainable and responsible partnership with them that respects social and environmental issues. The Group has implemented a set of specifications for purchasing, logistics and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards for its subcontractors.
In addition, the Group has drawn up a Business Ethics Charter which is enforceable against its partners in order to ensure that they comply with the rules of ethics, morality and law to which the Group is committed. This Ethics Charter was shared with them in the second half of 2023, using a tracking platform and an electronic signature. Its deployment can thus be measured and improvement plans can be requested from partners. By the end of 2024, 62% of suppliers, representing 95% of the amount of direct purchases, had signed the Business Ethics Charter. They are systematically contacted by the monitoring platform.
The framework that the Group has set itself for its actions with suppliers and subcontractors includes commitments to optimize performance and to ensure fluid and transparent communication through the use of this supplier portal. It makes it possible to identify the needs of the Group and its suppliers and to decide on the appropriate measures to ensure that these needs are met. The Group supports its suppliers in their efforts to improve services if their contributions do not meet expectations.
Through the specifications and the portal, the Group and its suppliers commit to achieving a common objective, consisting in particular of:
As part of its CSR strategy, Interparfums teamed up with Ecovadis to assess the CSR performance of its supply chain and suppliers. Ecovadis operates a global platform for assessing and sharing CSR performance, and their assessment method is based on international CSR standards.
In 2024, 127 suppliers were assessed or in the process of being assessed, representing 91% of Interparfums' purchasing activity (stable compared to 2023). As part of a continuous improvement approach, Interparfums' objective is to monitor and encourage the CSR performance of its suppliers in 4 major areas: Environment, Social and Human Rights, Ethics and Responsible Purchasing.
In 2025, supplier assessment will be expanded using the following approach:
This step‑by‑step approach will further improve the coverage rate of suppliers engaged in Interparfums' Responsible Purchasing approach and extend it to new types of suppliers (communication and marketing agencies, etc.).
| Average score | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of suppliers assessed | Average score (overall score) |
Environment score |
Social and Human Rights score |
Business Ethics score |

|
| 127 | 70.6/100 | 73.2/100 | 71.2/100 | 64.3/100 | 68.3/100 |
The target set by Interparfums for 2025 in terms of average Ecovadis score was reached at the end of 2024. The aim now is to maintain it over time, which is a new target in itself, given the strengthening of the rating and the emergence of other sub‑topics such as those relating to the living wage.


The scores obtained by Interparfums' partners show an excellent performance in all areas covered by the Ecovadis assessment. They are well above the average performance of suppliers assessed by Ecovadis worldwide.


It is important to note that since the end of 2024, 99.78% of purchases made by Interparfums from suppliers assessed by Ecovadis are from suppliers with a score ≥ 45/100, illustrating the relevance of the approach taken in terms of supplier selection. All our industrial suppliers are now engaged in CSR initiatives, either voluntarily or as a result of discussions initiated with them.

Across all areas assessed by Ecovadis, suppliers have demonstrated significant improvements in their scores, reflecting their growing commitment to CSR topics at an appropriate level.
The Group's top ten suppliers accounted for 38% of purchases in 2024. We thought it would be relevant to look specifically at their CSR performance. Seven suppliers report to the CDP Climate program, but not all publicly disclose their performance. The Group will therefore be specifically questioning them on all CSR-related issues and asking them to share their ambitions in terms of climate strategy. Six suppliers have committed to the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), aligning with a 1.5°C trajectory by 2035, validated for four of them.
Additionally, given the close working relationship with our logistics provider at the Criquebeuf warehouse (France), we requested data on workplace accidents resulting in lost time among their employees. The provider reported two such workplace accidents in 2024.
There are numerous opportunities to explain Interparfums' CSR strategy, performance, and risk management to stakeholders within the financial community. This ongoing dialogue helps Interparfums understand and address investor expectations and fosters long‑term trust.
Responsibility for investor relations lies with the newly created position of Head of Investor Relations & Analysts, supported by the CSR team. Interparfums receives frequent inquiries from investors, a trend expected to increase as new brokerage firms initiate coverage of the company. As a reminder, since Interparfums joined the SBF 120 and CAC Mid 60 indices, its stock has been covered by French, Italian, and Anglo-Saxon brokerage firms.
The growing importance of sustainability topics, driven by investors, financial and non‑financial rating agencies, and the upcoming implementation of the CSRD, will further accelerate this trend. Interparfums' objective is to provide high‑quality, transparent information, aligned with market best practices and compliant with new CSR standards and frameworks, such as the TCFD.
Since its listing on the Paris Stock Exchange, Interparfums has demonstrated its commitment to transparency by regularly explaining its strategy, outlook and concerns, and by providing shareholders with the best possible answers to their questions, notably at the Annual General Meeting, but also throughout the year with the publication of the shareholder newsletter and various presentations of annual and half‑year results.
To further enhance engagement and better meet shareholder expectations, a Consultative Committee of Individual Shareholders was set up in early 2022. Consisting of twelve shareholders, including two employees, the committee met once in 2022, once in 2023, and twice in 2024.
The Group does not directly manage industrial sites but is involved in developing an environmental policy in collaboration with its subcontracting partners and suppliers, throughout its value chain notably for logistics and distribution, particularly in the following areas:

Since 2021, a full scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon footprint has been calculated using the GHG protocol method and either emission factors available in databases, monetary ratios with a high degree of uncertainty, or data shared by suppliers. 2021 is therefore the base year chosen by Interparfums for its low‑carbon trajectory.
At the end of 2023, Interparfums formally committed to the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with the objective of having its climate trajectory validated in 2025.
In addition, for the second time, the CDP Climate Change questionnaire was completed in 2024 and Interparfums' level of maturity was identified as taking coordinated action on climate issues with a C rating, enabling us to set out areas for progress, particularly in terms of seeking opportunities and value chain commitment.
As indicated below (scope 3 decarbonization levers), suppliers have made great efforts to calculate their own carbon footprints, so it has been decided to recalculate scope 3 for 2023 using the same methodology as for 2024. This is based on carbon data available from 95% of suppliers in number and representing 98.3% of the amount of purchases, 19% of which are calculated on the basis of average emissions by sector of activity. This greatly improves the uncertainty rate.
| 2021 | 2023 | 2024 | Change 2023‑2024 |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon footprint (scope 1, 2 and 3) (in tCO2e) | 174,940 | 244,498 | 213,171 | -12.8% |
Interparfums' carbon intensity per k€ of sales remains in the low range for its sector. In addition, given Interparfums' business, it seems interesting to look at the evolution of carbon intensity per liter of perfume manufactured during the year. As a reminder, the base year is 2021.
| 2021 | 2023 | 2024 | Change 2021‑2024 |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon intensity (in kg of CO2 per k€ of turnover) | 312 | 279 | 242 | -22.4% |
| Carbon intensity (in kg of CO2 per L of perfume) | 77 | 68 | 66 | -14.6% |
Interparfums wants to ensure that its climate trajectory is in line with the most recognized standards. A first step is to align its reporting with the principles of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures), as shown in the table in section 3.1.5.
The Group has calculated its carbon footprint for scopes 1 and 2 since 2020. Scope 1 covers direct greenhouse gas emissions (gas consumption by the warehouse and the new site adjoining the head office, fuel for company vehicles), while Scope 2 covers indirect emissions associated with energy (electricity consumption and the head office heating network). The sites studied are the Criquebeuf warehouse (France), the offices of the Paris head office and, from 2024, the offices located in a building adjoining the head office. The scope is therefore different between 2024 and previous years.
The Group also has 21 company cars dedicated to the sales force. The new vehicles are equipped with petrol or hybrid engines. Charging stations have also been installed in the car park, in addition to spaces for bicycles.
| (in tCO2e) | 2021 | 2023 | 2024 | Change 2021‑2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 | 226 | 202 | 194 | -14% |
| Scope 2 | 29 | 38 | 39 | 34% |
| Total | 255 | 240 | 233 | -9% |
In 2022, the Group moved its head office to BREEAM and HQE-certified premises, which help reduce energy consumption. In addition, the use of renewable energies and the Paris heating network are improving this performance. Scope 1 and 2 emissions fell by 9% between 2021 (base year, 255 tCO2e) and 2024, enabling the Group to meet its trajectory in this area. Additional insulation work was carried out on the top floor in July 2024, reducing energy consumption and improving employee well‑being. The warehouse has also made efforts in terms of energy efficiency. The new site is currently heated by natural gas, and it is planned to replace this fossil fuel with a less carbon‑intensive energy source such as electricity in the short term.
The Group has established its main warehouse in a region located at the crossroads of its subcontractors in the Normandy region of France, in order to limit the transport of finished products. In 2018, a warehouse in Singapore was put into operation to promote short circuits in the Asia Pacific region.
Unsurprisingly, the largest emissions item is purchases of goods and services, given that Interparfums does not have its own production plant and subcontracts all its manufacturing to partners.
Preparations for major launches in 2025 has contributed to the increase in Scope 3 emissions. Finally, the upward trend in the amount of royalties paid (translated into monetary ratios) also has an impact on the carbon footprint. The increase in "fixed assets" emissions is linked to property transactions and technical investments, particularly in new moulds and tools.

|---|---|---|---|
| Scope 3 Upstream | |||
| Products and services purchased | 166,934 | 227,508 | 196,512 |

Once the carbon footprint had been measured, it was found that 38% of direct purchases linked to production were made from suppliers committed to the SBTi initiative. 63% are carried out by partners who have completed the CDP Climate Change questionnaire.
A particular focus is placed on the trajectories of the Group's 10 largest suppliers, who account for 38% of direct production purchases. It should be noted that nine of them respond to the CDP Climate Change questionnaire. Six suppliers have committed to the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), aligning with a 1.5°C trajectory by 2035, validated for four of them. Nine suppliers use innovative processes and renewable energies.
The Group firmly believes that actively involving its suppliers in its sustainability efforts is essential for making progress towards a low‑carbon trajectory. In this context, Interparfums initiated efforts in 2024 to help suppliers who are slightly behind in addressing climate‑related issues to bridge the gap quickly. The Group has strengthened its dialogue and collaboration with them to ensure collective progress on this critical issue.
100% of suppliers assessed by Ecovadis in 2023 confirmed that they are implementing energy‑saving measures and 62% of them use one or more renewable energy sources. 94% of suppliers now track their carbon footprint (a 22% increase compared to 2023) and 91% have conducted a full carbon assessment (1, 2 and 3). This indicator has risen sharply.
In any case, 92% of procurement for production‑related goods is sourced from European suppliers. As the latter are either subject to reporting regulations or are part of the value chain of customers affected by these regulations (such as CSRD), they will initiate the process of measuring their carbon footprint. If they so wish, the Group will support them in terms of methodology so that they can make progress on these crucial issues.
Given the scale of the emissions linked to packaging, which are spread across the manufacturing and end‑of‑life stages, it is important to deploy the "Optimized Eco-Design Charter", which sets out guidelines for optimizing the weight of glass in bottles, integrating PCR (Post Consumer Recycled) glass, eliminating certain less recyclable materials, etc.
In terms of cardboard and box design, the REDUCE project led by the Supply Chain & Operations teams is working to reduce the size and weight of packaging. An initial diagnostic phase on existing product lines revealed that some packaging inserts were overly complex, requiring manual folding operations. For example, a study on the packaging of a major product line resulted in a 20‑gram reduction per finished product in the weight of both the cardboard box and insert, i.e. more than 7 tons of cardboard saved annually for this reference alone. Another beneficial effect was observed in the size of shipping boxes, as the optimized packaging design allowed for an increased number of finished products per box. The new packaging insert, requiring fewer manual steps, has also resulted in social benefits, along with time savings, ultimately leading to a reduction in packaging costs. Additionally, over 6 tons of CO2 equivalent per year, per product reference, could be avoided through the use of this optimized packaging. This initiative will be extended to other product references and is expected to result in a further reduction in cardboard usage in 2025 and 2026.
The decarbonization measures implemented by Interparfums' suppliers and teams will therefore directly benefit the Group's commercialized products – for example, through the electrification of furnaces in glass manufacturing.

Actions undertaken in collaboration with the warehouse and goods dispatch manager as part of the improvement and optimization of inter‑plant transport and the logistics platform have contributed to a reduction in the number of lorry turnarounds.
End-of-life
Regarding the modes of transport to distributors, the Group uses road transport for shipments in France and Europe and sea transport for America, Asia and the Middle East. The Group makes very limited use of air transport, reserving it for unavoidable emergencies. Some promotional products manufactured in Asia are sent directly to American distributors without being imported and stored in France. To raise awareness among teams about modal shift and its impact on climate change, a Freight Fresk workshop was tested. Given its relevance, it will be more widely implemented in 2025.
Regarding promotional gift sets, which have already undergone size optimization as outlined in Section 3.4.3, an additional step has been taken with the rationalization of grouping boxes. By increasing the number of gift sets per box, it is now possible to optimize the number of boxes per pallet. The benefits can be seen at several levels (materials and logistics), both economically, with a 50% reduction in the cost of manufacturing boxes and the number of pallets, and in terms of carbon footprint, with a 50% reduction in emissions linked to shipping by sea or road.
In addition to its head office, whose renovation has been awarded HQE Sustainable Building (High Quality for the Environment) level excellent and BREEAM Excellent certification, Interparfums uses a warehouse that is also HQE-certified for its logistics and storage needs. This certification specifically covers improved insulation, motion sensor‑activated lighting, Ecolabel‑certified finishing materials, centralized technical management for energy control, rainwater harvesting and an efficient waste sorting and recycling system.
The Group continuously monitors energy consumption indicators and also relies on regulatory energy audits, with the next audit scheduled for 2025, to determine opportunities for improving energy efficiency. These opportunities focus on lighting, heating, and ventilation across the logistics site, including the modulation of ventilation flow rates and the implementation of weekend heating and ventilation slowdown schedules.
In this context, the Group plans to introduce an automatic lighting shut‑off in the warehouse when employees take breaks outside and to maintain a warehouse temperature of 11°C to optimize heating efficiency. Energy control measures also include the scheduled recharging of electric forklifts during off‑peak night hours, reducing energy consumption from 600 kWh during the day to a maximum of 280 kWh at night. Monthly electricity consumption reports are drawn up and in the event of significant peaks in consumption, the Group analyses the causes of this over‑consumption in order to remedy the situation where necessary. Finally, to help preserve the environment, it installed dedicated parking spaces for bicycles and electric terminals for cars on the logistics site.

At the end of 2022, Interparfums teamed up with Agoterra, a young French company with a mission to connect farmers committed to the ecological transition and companies wishing to contribute to the global goal of climate neutrality by 2050. An initial regenerative agriculture project was selected, offering a large number of environmental co‑benefits (improved water and air quality, increased biodiversity, improved soil fertility, etc.) and social benefits (local investment, additional income for farmers, a healthier diet, etc.).
The first farm supported is in the Loiret region (France), where the farmer grows sugar beet, durum wheat, grain maize and a mixture of grasses and pulses. Support for beet growing is consistent with Interparfums' use of beet alcohol in all its fragrances. The farmer, supported by Sysfarm, is also committed to a low‑carbon approach, with the aim of reducing and sequestering carbon to the tune of 960 tCO2e over 5 years, with national certification through the Low Carbon Label. This project is being closely monitored by Interparfums, which sees it as a pilot for its climate strategy. Sysfarm's first visit showed that the sequestration balance for 2023 was slightly better than expected, due to the significant benefits in terms of carbon storage, thanks to the use of plant cover crops. The second visit verified that the operation was in line with the initial trajectory. The operator's efforts are therefore ongoing and part of a medium‑term vision.
By 2030, all businesses will be obliged to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 40%. Action is urgently needed. This requires a strategy of reduction, avoidance and carbon sequestration to rapidly turn the curve.

Given Interparfums' business model, water is only a key topic for some of its partners. Water consumption for the company's direct operations is for sanitary use in the offices and warehouse and cleaning use in the warehouse. These two sites are not located in water‑stressed areas.
In terms of direct operations, in 2021 and 2022, two water leaks were responsible for the over‑consumption of water resources at the warehouse. They were resolved and consumption returned to a reasonable level in 2023, which was further reduced in 2024.
| 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water consumption (in m³) | 3,949 | 1,301 | 1,014 |
| Water intensity (in m³/k€) | 0.006 | 0.002 | 0.001 |
| Water withdrawals (in m3) | 3,949 | 1,301 | 1,014 |
Water is a material issue for some of Interparfums' partners. These include sugar cooperatives and perfume manufacturers upstream of the value chain.
A few rinsed products are distributed in certain boxes (shower gels), but in small numbers and therefore with no major impact on the downstream value chain.
In 2023, the Group responded to the CDP Water Security questionnaire and obtained a C-rating, reflecting Interparfums' level of awareness of the issue. All perfumers collaborating with Interparfums also participate in the CDP Water Security questionnaire, with the six major suppliers achieving an A- rating. They all have a risk assessment approach to managing and anticipating the water stress zones in which they operate. Their action plan is based as much on varietal selection of the plants they grow or have grown as on adapted farming practices, particularly in terms of irrigation.
Sugar cooperatives make the alcohol used in our perfumes, mainly from sugar beet. They have long incorporated resource conservation into their CSR strategies. Best practices have been introduced, such as water recycling. Industrial sites supply nearby farmers with water from sugar mill ponds to irrigate their fields. This activity, known as fertigation, also has the added benefit of adding mineral elements to the soil. Another cooperative reuses 100% of the water contained in the beet it processes. This technique enables it to avoid withdrawing 5 million m³ of water a year. Agricultural practices are evolving in parallel and the cooperatives' member farmers are following the SAI Platform (Sustainable Agriculture Initiative) guidelines. Over 75% of the beet grown by these cooperatives is certified gold or silver SAI worldwide. Cooperative farmers are supported in their efforts to improve their farming practices, particularly with regard to water management.
Perfumes are designed with the help of proposals developed by our perfume partners, whose shared objectives are to reduce the pressure on endangered natural resources, using biotechnology and upcycling.

The Group's head office is located in the centre of Paris, in a protected area of the 7th arrondissement, which takes into account the ambitions of the Paris Climate and Energy Plan and the promotion of a heritage policy that integrates 19th and 20th century architecture, developing a historical and ecological culture of city gardens, while refining existing protections. To this end, the Group has installed beehives and nesting boxes in addition to vegetation adapted to pollinators. The Group ensures that none of its packaging sites is located in a protected area in terms of biodiversity (either in France or in Italy). None of our partners is located in a Natura 2000 area or managed by an association affiliated to the Fédération des Conservatoires des Espaces Naturels. This mapping was based on the precise addresses of the sites in question.
In 2023, Rochas introduced Citron Soleil, a collection that reinterprets the iconic ingredients of Eau de Rochas, blending joyful and sophisticated fragrances. Staying true to the Mediterranean landscapes so dear to Marcel Rochas, the collection expanded in 2024 with the launch of Orange Horizon in 2024. These Nouveaux Rendez‑vous fragrances are composed of responsibly sourced ingredients, such as lemon, orange, neroli and mandarin. The Sourced Responsibly commitment from the perfumer reflects a thoughtful sourcing process, ensuring that each natural ingredient is purchased with full awareness of its social and environmental impact. This is achieved through due diligence questionnaires that assess potential risks. Depending on the level of risk identified, specific actions or monitoring measures may be implemented, either through direct collaboration with the supplier or with the support of external experts. By leveraging the CSR strategies of its partners, Interparfums upholds its duty of care, striving to enhance transparency and engage in a continuous improvement process throughout its supply chain.
For instance, the essential oil of neroli is sourced from two primary regions, Tunisia and Morocco. In Tunisia, bitter orange trees are cultivated in small family‑owned plantations, with each family tending an average of 40 trees in the Nabeul region. In Morocco, the green belt between Fez and Marrakech is home to larger‑scale bitter orange plantations, where most of the neroli‑producing factories own their own orchards. Our partner orange groves in Morocco are all certified organic. The perfumer has committed to responsible sourcing, verified through a UEBT audit (1) in 2023, and has since maintained an ongoing improvement program with local partners.
The mandarins with the specific quality sought by the partner is supplied from Italian family businesses located in southern Italy. With know‑how handed down from generation to generation, they produce essential oils and natural citrus juices of the highest quality, made from fruit grown in this part of Italy (Calabria and Sicily), where the best Italian citrus groves are located. The factories, audited in accordance with the SMETA standard(2), are located close to the land where the fruit grows in order to minimize the distance between the natural resource and its extraction. More than a thousand local farmers are involved in growing these mandarins. These projects enable Les Nouveaux Rendez‑vous to take a holistic approach.
Present in the following fragrances in particular: Sunrise pour Homme by Moncler, Black Meisterstück by Montblanc, Coach Dreams Moonlight by Coach and L.12.12 White by Lacoste, patchouli is closely linked to Indonesia. Growing patchouli is tricky because of autotoxicity, i.e. the plant releases organic substances that harm and inhibit its own growth. This phenomenon of autotoxicity is one of the factors behind the migration of patchouli cultivation from island to island, which has been observed for several years in Indonesia, as soils become unsuitable for growing patchouli. In Indonesia, production sites have gradually moved from the island of Nias to Sumatra, then Java, and now Sulawesi. Taking the ecosystem into account is therefore at the heart of the perfumers' strategy to guarantee a sustainable supply of patchouli. Further information on social responsibility can be found in section 4.2 – Employees in the value chain.
To guarantee a supply that limits deforestation and preserves ecosystems and biodiversity, transparent monitoring of supply chains is an important step. With this in mind, and based on the contributions proposed by the Cosmetics working group of the National Biodiversity Strategy 2030, Interparfums has decided to begin work on mapping its supply and value chain via the Transparency-One platform. Implementing this traceability will ultimately facilitate the implementation of measures aimed at reducing the socio‑environmental impact of our products.

At every stage of the purchasing process, Interparfums looks at the exact requirements and the need to reduce unnecessary costs and wasted resources to:
In 2024, Interparfums joined the Circul'R coalition to explore the reuse of perfume bottles as part of its commitment to circular economy practices. This initiative will be piloted in two retail chains in France starting in summer 2025, focusing on Eau de Rochas. One of the key challenges lies in the cleaning process after bottles are collected from retailers. As a pioneering project, this trial will assess consumer interest in perfume bottle reuse while ensuring compliance with France's AGEC law (Anti-Waste and Circular Economy Act).

The Group has no industrial activity and entrusts the manufacturing process to partners, each offering the best expertise and commitment in their respective fields: fragrance, glassmaking, packaging. The Group asks them about their CSR strategies, in addition to the Ecovadis assessment, and works with them to incorporate the environmental issues identified at each stage, in particular the choice of materials used in components, waste treatment and reducing the carbon footprint.
An "optimized eco‑design" Charter was formalized in 2022 and shared both internally and externally to ensure that the possible options in this area are clear to all stakeholders. The aim of this Charter is to highlight the Group's best practices for optimizing the eco‑design of the products it develops, and it has been rolled out to 100% of the Group's industrial partners. The objectives by product category are presented: glass, decoration, covers, wedges, cases. Promotional products are not forgotten either with boxes, tubes and point‑of‑sale advertising. This is a comprehensive approach that also enables the Group to comply with the regulatory requirements of the French AGEC Law.
Action to prevent environmental risks and pollution begins with the choice of techniques and materials, which must be optimized. To reconcile the quality and aesthetic appeal of its products with environmental imperatives, the Group is committed to reducing the volume of packaging and selecting appropriate materials at every stage of product development, to ensure that they can be recycled or disposed of under optimum conditions.
To reduce the impact of its activities, some of the bottles produced by the Group are colored by applying a water‑soluble solution, making it possible to obtain a partly biodegradable color with no harmful impact on the natural environment. For the rest of its product ranges, the Group is pursuing its objective of gradually phasing out the use of "solvent‑based" lacquers, with a view to using "water‑based" lacquers to reduce emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds into the air. Furthermore, some glass subcontractors have electro‑filters to limit dust and smoke emissions, as well as wastewater recycling systems.
The Group has also phased out the use of thermosets in its bath/shower lines in favor of recyclable plastics. Carbon black is being phased out of plastic tubes because it cannot be recycled.
Recyclable glass bottles are manufactured using a system that recovers, crushes and remelts the waste The introduction of waste management indicators in 2013 has helped the Group improve its monitoring of waste rates for its glass bottle decorators. Its primary objective is to adopt a continuous improvement approach and reduce its waste rates over time. The second objective is to reprocess this waste and reintroduce the bottles into the production circuit.
The Group has also put in place measures to recover subcontractor waste resulting from excess production or from components on discontinued products. The recovered components are then recycled before being destroyed. Finished products are also donated to charities.

In‑depth work has been carried out on promotional products, which represent a significant volume of units: over 4.7 million gift sets and almost 3.2 million gifts with purchases. The aim was to challenge each of the components in these segments throughout their lifecycle. It turns out that all the components are produced and assembled in France, Spain and Italy. 46% of our GWPs are labelled Made in France (candles, kits, etc.).
Initial results: The packaging for our boxes and cases has long been made from FSC-certified cardboard and paper. The transport crates have also been FSC-certified since 2022.
Promotional products are not forgotten either with boxes, tubes and point‑of‑sale advertising. This is a global approach that will enable the Group to comply with the regulatory obligations of the French AGEC law (anti‑waste law for a circular economy), which will have an effect on production.
The design of the boxes also takes environmental concerns into account, with a choice of two formats, each with 3 bowl heights to match the volume of fragrance. In addition, because of new specifications from certain distributors, the boxes will be subject to further developments. The new configuration will enable us to reduce our use of polystyrene by more than 200 tons and our use of 100% recycled aPET plastic by 40 tons. The wedges in the boxes must be sturdy for transport and resistant when stored in damp or hot conditions. Proposals for recyclable APET wedges have been made for certain Rochas lines and cardboard wedges

are now used in the majority of our boxes. With regard to the plastic tubes used for the brands' scented bath/ shower products, a study has been carried out based on the components: skirt, head and cap, to reduce the quantity of plastic used and ensure that they are eligible for recycling. The replacement of virgin plastic in the boxes has begun, with the essential steps of testing compatibility with the formulas. By 2023, 60% of tubes will be made from PCR PE, saving 16 tons of virgin PE plastic. Lastly, more than 50% of tubes are recyclable, and more than 2 million of them contain no or no more carbon black (making them difficult, if not impossible, to recycle).
Another action aimed at reducing the consumption of unnecessary packaging is to discourage its use (particularly polybags) and replace it. In 2024, with the exception of fragile products, promotional products were wrapped in Kraft paper rather than plastic. In addition, 623,000 polybags were optimized, saving 148,000 50cl plastic bottles and 10.6 tons of CO2. When the use of recycled kraft strips is not possible, biodegradable polybags will be used.
This drive to improve our product offering continues without compromising on quality and is based on proposals from suppliers. Gifts with purchases are a major driver of consumer decisions. The CSR initiative extends to their selection. Our five suppliers of gifts with purchases are already assessed by Ecovadis, and their average score is 77.6/100 (4 are Platinum and 1 Gold according to the 2022 ranking), which is well above the average score for their sector (which is either 39 or 47, depending on the company).
The Group closely monitors its waste production at warehouse level in France. In 2024, 56 tons of waste were recycled through various channels (plastic, pallets, paper and cardboard, alcohol). In addition, 8 tons of non‑hazardous waste were incinerated with heat recovery. No hazardous waste was disposed of in 2024.

Although Interparfums' production of plastic displays is not comparable to that of a make‑up company, the Group participates in the Selective Perfumery working group led by the Institut du Commerce, which aims to mobilize brands and distributors around the issue of collecting and recycling in‑store displays in France. This collective approach also brings together in‑store advertising manufacturers already committed to eco‑design and dismantling possibilities. In addition, the Group has launched a reverse logistics test in partnership with a retailer to recover obsolete plastic displays and find a recycling channel for it. This will be all the more possible if the displays are made from a single material.
Whenever possible, Interparfums plans to reduce the weight of materials, particularly on in‑store tester displays. In addition, in‑depth work is being carried out to identify the origin of the materials used by our partners, with priority given to European sourcing. Interparfums' commitments in terms of in‑store advertising design are presented below:
| Theme | Achievements 2024 | 2025 objectives |
|---|---|---|
| Material separability |
In 2024, 91% of in‑store displays were designed with materials separable at the end of their life. |
2025 objectives: 80% of in‑store displays must allow materials to be separated at the end of their life (change in scope with broadening of the product base). |
| Mono‑material design |
A few of our achievements. | Increase the number of references compared to 2025. |
| Mechanical assembly |
78% of in‑store displays are assembled mechanically (limiting the use of adhesives, screws and magnets). |
80% of in‑store displays will be assembled mechanically. |
| Flat pack delivery |
75% of in‑store displays are currently delivered flat‑packed. |
80% of in‑store displays will be delivered in flat packs. |
| Packaging | 75% of our point‑of‑sale advertising uses no plastic packaging. |
100% of plastic packaging will be eliminated (any remaining plastic will be recycled and recyclable, used only for protecting certain materials during transport). |
| Transport | 98% of in‑store displays are delivered by boat, train or truck (from the supplier to the warehouse in Criquebeuf). |
98% of in‑store display deliveries to the storage warehouse (Criquebeuf) will be made by boat, train or lorry. |
A study was carried out to compare the environmental impact of two PFSUs (storage columns) from one of the brands, using life cycle analyses (LCA). One is single‑use, the other incorporates a reusable structure. The design is common to both PFSUs. The freestanding PFSU consists of an MDF (medium density fiberboard) structure and a cardboard cover, both of which are single‑use. The reusable PFSU consists of a steel structure that can be reused and a single‑use cardboard cover. The results show that after two uses, the steel PFSU is preferable overall to the disposable PFSU, with the exception of two key indicators. From five uses onwards, the reusable version demonstrates no negative environmental trade‑offs. The next step involves discussing storage options with retailers to determine feasible solutions for extending product lifecycles. Moving forward, eco‑design requirements for these units will be fully integrated into their specifications, with the goal of minimizing environmental impact.
Cardboard packaging for perfumes sold by Interparfums can be recycled if the correct procedure is followed. The Optimized Eco-Design Charter recommends using traditional glass (i.e. soda‑lime glass), which is recyclable, and avoiding technical glass (i.e. boro‑silicate glass), which is not.
Since January 2022, French regulations have made it compulsory to display the Triman logo with instructions on how to recycle waste. This has been done for all products sold by Interparfums. Interparfums has set up a web page (myproducts.Interparfums.fr) which allows consumers to browse by product and adapt their recycling according to the type of packaging. This site is currently available in French and Italian for reasons of legislation in these two countries. It will be translated into English to inform as many consumers as possible.
Some retailers have launched individual initiatives to collect packaging for cosmetics and perfumes, rewarding consumers who return them. These channels are monitored and traceable by the brands. The Group encourages such virtuous initiatives.
As part of its responsible purchasing policy, all of Interparfums' direct suppliers are subject to a CSR assessment using the Ecovadis platform.
In addition, depending on the risk analysis carried out for direct suppliers, their performance against other standards is also monitored. 100% of perfumers respond to the CDP Climate Change questionnaire. Their 2023 (1) ratings are above B, which is a reassuring performance for Interparfums. This means that they are dealing with climate change and biodiversity at the right level. Ratings of this level reflect a mature analysis of climate risks and opportunities. In addition, 75% of the perfumers contacted are ISO 14001 certified, which covers 95% of the amount of purchases made from perfumers.
The Forests questionnaire is also important for Interparfums, which pays close attention to the management of natural areas and considers it essential not to introduce raw materials responsible for deforestation in any country.

The strength of Interparfums's organizational model lies in the small size of its teams and the even distribution of ages and levels of responsibility, enabling it to benefit from a wide range of experience and an extremely flexible organization. Employees are its main driver of value creation, and their fulfilment at work and their motivation are essential levers for its development.

The staff turnover rate is 13% for 2024, down sharply and back to pre-Covid levels. A large number of older people left in 2022 and 2023 as a result of professional retraining or new career paths initiated during the health crisis. As the Group is growing, it is also taking on new employees. Among the observed departures, one‑third is attributed to mutually agreed terminations within Interparfums SA (France). These departures are primarily linked to individual or professional projects.
The absenteeism rate, which remains consistently low, is a key indicator for measuring employee engagement and motivation.

The main challenges identified by the Group with regard to working conditions are as follows:
All these challenges were formalized in 2022 in the "Responsible Employer" Charter, which was brought to the attention of all employees and is available on the www.interparfums-finance.fr website. The purpose of this document is to set out a framework within which everyone can operate. Attentive and committed to the success of every employee, Interparfums takes action on a daily basis, right from the recruitment process and throughout the life of the employment contract, by striving to:
— preserve everyone's quality of life at work;
— give all employees the best possible chance of success.
Interparfums is committed to living its values on a daily basis: respect and benevolence, creativity, trust, commitment and loyalty.
In addition to annual performance reviews aimed at gathering feedback from all employees, regular engagement surveys are conducted. In 2023, the survey covered the France‑based workforce, achieving a participation rate of 81.9% and a recommendation rate of 80.4%, which led to the company being awarded the HappyIndex®At Work label. An action plan was launched to meet employee expectations. As part of this initiative, smart refrigerators were installed to provide employees with healthy, seasonal and cost‑effective meal options. Internal communication has also been improved with the regular publication of newsletters. The survey was repeated at the beginning of 2025 on a Group‑widescale. It closed with a participation rate of 82.5% and a recommendation rate of 91.4%. All results were up on the previous year, whatever the theme.
Interparfums has put in place pay rules as well as job classification and performance evaluation systems applied to all employees, which help guarantee fairness and equality between men and women. Interparfums is committed to paying all its employees a salary that enables them and their families to enjoy a better standard of living than the national average in the country in which they work. In this context, the pay of Interparfums employees includes a fixed and a variable component, as well as exceptional bonuses paid on the basis of the Group's results.
Recognizing that well‑structured remuneration can be a powerful motivator and performance driver, Interparfums conducted a remuneration study in 2024. The study ensured that its remuneration policies align with the company's strategic objectives, uphold pay equity, and help maintain a positive work environment. Additionally, it aims to prevent internal tensions related to perceived inequalities in salary treatment, fostering a harmonious and fair workplace culture.

In France, Interparfums pays 100% of the cost of the "base" health insurance scheme for all employees (permanent, fixed‑term, apprenticeship or professional training contracts). It applies to each employee as soon as he or she joins the workforce, with no waiting period. A "supplementary" health insurance plan is also offered to all employees, with no waiting period, as soon as they join the workforce. As the claims/contributions ratio has been positive for several years (due to compliance with the obligations of the responsible contract described in the Social Security Financing Act and the specifications established in 2019 with the 100% health reform, among others), certain consumption items have been significantly improved in 2023 in favor of employees. In Singapore and the United States, specific healthcare arrangements have been put in place. We therefore offer 100% employees a contribution to their healthcare costs.
In accordance with French law, a profit‑sharing agreement was signed in 2001. For 2024, as in previous years, a significant gross amount of more than €4.3 million was redistributed to employees at the beginning of 2025, an increase of 10% compared with 2023.
The Group offers all its employees working in France (after 3 months' with the company) a Company Savings Plan to encourage employee savings by offering several types of funds to suit individual projects. Since 2017, Interparfums has upgraded its scheme by offering an "Interparfums Shareholder" fund, enabling them to benefit from changes in the value of the Interparfums share within an advantageous tax framework. These payments into the "Interparfums Shareholder" fund are accompanied by a substantial matching contribution from the company.
In addition, a Collective Retirement Savings Plan enables all employees (France scope) to prepare for their retirement and to benefit from a substantial company contribution. Employees also have the option of transferring part of their unused leave to the Collective Retirement Savings Plan each year.
Employees also benefit from a supplementary pension contract with defined contributions and compulsory enrolment. This individual contract is funded by monthly employee and employer contributions, which are freely allocated. The Group has chosen to help its employees build up this pension, which complements their retirement, by paying a significant proportion of the contributions. As part of the development of its remuneration and benefits policy, this scheme has been extended to all employees (management and non‑management) since January 1, 2024, with the addition of an employer's contribution on salary band A for all employees in addition to the band B and C contributions already defined.
Special pension arrangements are available for employees in Singapore and the United States.
In addition, and in order to develop employee share ownership, the Group in December 2018 and then in March 2022, the group set up two plans for the allocation of performance shares intended for all employees.
For employees working in France, elections for staff representative organizations are held every four years, as required by law. The Social and Economic Committee (CSE) was renewed in June 2023. It is made up of 4 managerial staff, including a harassment officer. The CSE meets once a month to be informed and consulted on strategic and organizational issues that have an impact on the employees.
Following the return of the CSE in June 2023, the "Health and Safety at Work" committee was re‑established as a continuation of the previous Hygiene, Safety and Work Conditions Committee. The committee is made up of two non‑executive employees and usually meets once every six months. An employee designated as responsible for health, safety and working conditions has been appointed internally. A number of workplace first aiders are trained every two years, and health advisers have also been appointed since the Covid pandemic started in 2020. The size of the structures in Singapore and the United States means that informal social dialogue between management and staff is encouraged, given the absence of regulatory requirements in these countries.

In 2024, two work accidents were recorded, neither of which resulted in sick leave. No occupational illnesses have been reported. As Interparfums has no production site, the risk of work‑related accidents is non‑significant. In addition, the Group's activities do not create safety hazards.
Our employees, who work mainly in the offices at our Paris head office, enjoy excellent working conditions. In 2022, the premises were transferred to a single site on rue de Solférino, in a building renovated to the latest standards in terms of user comfort. Smart systems mean everyone can manage their own lighting and ventilation. The site is easily accessible by public transport, and its car park has bicycle spaces and two vehicle charging points.
In addition, the Group is particularly sensitive to the issue of good posture at work and the prevention of musculo‑skeletal risks. Mobile employees are provided with good quality company cars and all have IT equipment tailored to their needs. Interparfums has also implemented a number of measures to maintain good working conditions for its employees, its service providers and, in particular, those working permanently in its logistics warehouse. These include: a warehouse heated to 11°C with the provision of suitable clothing, individual changing rooms and showers, premises with natural light, a dedicated and well‑maintained lunch area, etc. Following the mapping of workstations designed to measure difficult working conditions, no workstations have been identified as difficult.

| Number of occupational illnesses | 0 | 0 | 0 |
In addition, as part of the drive to prevent psychosocial risks, a counselling and psychological support service is available to employees via a dedicated toll‑free number, in partnership with the Institut d'Accompagnement Permanent Psychologique et de Ressources (IAPR). The Group is closely monitoring issues relating to the prevention of psychosocial risks, and in 2025 will be launching initiatives to inform employees on subjects such as sleep quality, relaxation techniques and reducing mental workload.
The Group is also developing initiatives aimed at civil society in the following areas:
€354,000 was allocated to sponsorship for 2024, not including product donations made to associations such as Dons Solidaires without any consideration or value added. In addition, this year Interparfums employees enthusiastically rallied round to bring a little comfort to those who need it most. The Solidarity Christmas Boxes collection resulted in a large number of gifts being donated to the association La fabrique de la solidarité. Interparfums also included miniature perfumes and shower gels in each box, adding an extra touch of elegance and care.
On another front, Interparfums decided to support the Société des Amis des musées d'Orsay et de l'Orangerie from 2024. These museums are ideally located next to the Group's head office, and their programs should enable employees to broaden their knowledge, arouse their curiosity and even discover new sources of inspiration as part of a cultural breather. Thanks to this partnership, they can discover the exhibitions and rich permanent collections of these two museums free of charge.
Still on a cultural level, Interparfums wanted to participate in the Cercle Montherlant-Académie des Beaux-Arts prize, which is awarded each year to a French‑language work of art. In 2024, it was awarded to the book "Jean Luce et le renouveau de la table française, 1910‑1960" by Sung Moon Cho, published by Norma. Sung Moon Cho is a researcher in contemporary decorative arts, specializing in 20th-century ceramics and glass and the history of tableware.
The Group supports charities and institutions working in the fields of solidarity, children, fighting against exclusion, healthcare and more by providing financial aid to help them carry out their projects. Since 2018, through the Givaudan Foundation, Interparfums has helped install 10 school infrastructures in Sulawesia, the Indonesian island where the patchouli specific to Montblanc Explorer Eau de Parfum comes from. More than 1,200 children and 110 school teachers benefited from this initiative. In 2024, Interparfums renewed its partnership with the Givaudan Foundation. Its contribution enabled the implementation of a digital library program in four schools, offering access to quality educational resources via digital devices, benefiting 386 schoolchildren and including the training of 45 teachers.
In 2024, support was once again given to the CEW to finance social beauticians caring for women suffering from cancer, and to EliseCare, which helps civilian populations affected by war.
In addition, as part of its commitment to sharing its experience and training future generations, the Group is regularly involved in training in its businesses, in particular by giving talks on marketing and finance at a number of various prestigious schools (business schools, SciencesPo, École Supérieure de Parfumerie). Interparfums also regularly welcomes interns and apprentices. Since 2022, Rochas has partnered with the Fondation Institut Français de la Mode, supporting its social inclusion policy by funding its social scholarship fund.
Additionally, 1% of the revenue from Rochas Girl has been allocated to the international collective 1% For The Planet, which funds various organizations dedicated to environmental conservation. This initiative will continue with a contribution from the sales of Citron Soleil, part of the «Les Nouveaux Rendez‑vous» collection by Rochas.
Interparfums also reinforced its commitment to ocean conservation in 2023 by funding the construction of a vessel designed to collect floating plastic waste in coastal areas and river mouths. The Mobula 8.2, deployed in Malaysia, was officially inaugurated in February 2025, thanks to the joint efforts of like‑minded companies. This support for The SeaCleaners Swiss association reflects Interparfums' commitment to tackling global environmental challenges, particularly plastic pollution, which threatens not only marine ecosystems but also human health.
The main issues identified in this area are as follows:
| Upstream | IMPACT ON THE VALUE CHAIN In-house operations |
Downstream | |
|---|---|---|---|
| at Interparfums | |||
| Risks and opportunities | |||
| Low | Medium | High | Very high |
With a management style that is very family‑oriented and close to employees, everyone is free to share their ideas while respecting the company's values. Management attaches the utmost importance to ensuring that everyone understands and supports the Group's strategy.
The flexibility of the organization, which is essentially made up of small teams, means that it can constantly adapt to any changes or developments in the external environment.
Sharing the "Interparfums spirit" also means that all employees adhere to and are aware of the Group's ethical values, as well as ensuring that employees feel fulfilled at work and respect good working conditions.
This ethical commitment has been formalized in a "Business Ethics Charter", to which everyone adheres and which particularly focuses on health, safety, discipline, risk prevention, harassment, respect for individual freedoms, sensitive transactions, fraud and business confidentiality.
Since 2017, a Charter on the right to disconnect has also been in place, and every employee has signed up to it.
The Human Resources Department is particularly vigilant in each of its recruitments. Only the skills, experience, qualifications and personality of candidates are taken into account when selecting new recruits. Diversity of profiles, cultures, ages and genders is a source of strength for our teams, the company's greatest asset.
Since 2019, Interparfums has organized an annual disability awareness campaign. In 2024, during the European Week for the Employment of People with Disabilities, Interparfums had the privilege of participating for the first time in DuoDay on November 21, 2024. This national initiative offers individuals with disabilities the opportunity to experience the corporate world firsthand. At Interparfums, six duos were formed, pairing participants with employees from marketing, development, and commercial teams to explore different career paths. This enriching day was a valuable opportunity to share expertise, challenge perceptions of disability, and break down preconceived notions. The day's programme included a morning session featuring an introduction to the company, interactive workshops, and an immersive workplace experience. The afternoon was dedicated to creative activities, such as engraving, bottle setting, and an olfactory discovery session. This first edition of DuoDay was a resounding success, reflecting Interparfums' commitment to inclusion and diversity. It served as a powerful reminder of the importance of embracing different talents and the value that diversity brings to the workplace.
Thanks to these awareness campaigns and close support from the Human Resources team, four employees in France have been officially recognized as workers with disabilities through an RQTH (Recognition of the Status of Disabled Worker).
Additionally, the Group contributes indirectly to the employment of individuals with disabilities and actively fights against exclusion and discrimination. One of its key initiatives includes partnering with a disability‑friendly company, for the packaging of its perfume boxes.
In 2024, the total cost of these outsourced services was €1,121,474.

The quality of the work carried out by the teams is enhanced throughout the careers of our employees by training in order to maintain a high level of competence in all business categories. To this end, Interparfums offers all its employees development plans enabling them to broaden their technical, managerial and personal skills.
While continuing its training efforts on topics such as office automation, management, language learning, business training and personal development, new subjects were tackled in 2024. Climate Fresks have been set up with regular workshops, so that everyone can incorporate climate change and biodiversity issues into their daily lives. Training in business ethics has been provided to all employees via an e‑learning module on a Group‑wide basis. With the same objective in mind, dedicated cybersecurity modules have been introduced to raise awareness of this fundamental issue among our teams. They will be renewed on a regular basis.
These impact‑driven training sessions have already reached 32% of employees in France, who participated in a Climate Fresk workshop.

4.2 — EMPLOYEES IN THE VALUE CHAIN
Interparfums' business model is based on a value chain that is expected to be exemplary. As part of the roll‑out of our "business ethics charter" and our "responsible purchasing" policy, we do not tolerate any failure on the part of our suppliers to respect human rights. They are therefore asked to ensure that no child labor takes place in their immediate value chain, and that they undertake to pay a decent wage to the adults involved. Particular attention is paid to the activities of perfumers who operate in certain regions of the world where these issues are prevalent.
Upstream licensors are also very concerned by these issues, and downstream consumers are increasingly interested.

In recent years, articles and reports have described potential human rights violations in various supply chains for plants used in perfumes. Interparfums is working with its partners on these issues, aware of their complexity and the difficulty of resolving them quickly.
For example, Interparfums favors vertical sourcing from perfumers because of better control over practices and supports their initiatives in terms of traceability (such as the sector's establishment of a multi‑brand coalition in the case of jasmine in Egypt). An appropriate traceability tool has been chosen and will be deployed in 2025 to monitor the sectors identified as at risk following the analysis work carried out.
In addition, the approach presented in § 2.3 will make it possible to extract indicators aligned with the ESRS S2 (Employees in the value chain) of the future CSRD.
The Group is responsible for marketing the cosmetic products it sells and for assessing their safety. It also relies on information provided by perfumers, who assess the safety of the raw materials used to make the fragrances. The product quality, safety and compliance policy accessible via the https://www.interparfums-finance.fr/website describes Interparfums' commitments in this area.

The Group carries out skin safety tests on the products it markets. In accordance with EC regulation 1223/2009, none of these tests are carried out on animals. The skin safety tests were carried out on healthy adult volunteers. The Group has taken account of the REACH regulation (EC Directive No. 1907/2006 of December 18, 2006) on the registration, evaluation and authorization of chemicals with all its suppliers. All the technical and organizational measures required to comply with REACH have been implemented within the Group. It is not subject to registration as a downstream user of substances. However, it wanted to proactively communicate with its suppliers to ensure that the registrations went smoothly and that the compliant chemical substances in its products continued to be supplied.
Perfumes contain alcohol (> 78%). This ingredient is not classified as an endocrine disruptor and is tolerated in cosmetics because of a favorable opinion from the SCCS (Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety), an independent research body commissioned by the European Commission. In the list of regulated substances used by Interparfums (RSL), no ingredient is classified as a known endocrine disruptor(1).
The Group has taken the initiative of contacting its various subcontractors and suppliers to ensure that they effectively comply with the necessary registrations, notifications and requests for authorization from those upstream in their supply chain. Interparfums has asked all its suppliers to commit to supplying articles that do not contain any substance listed in Appendix XIV (Substances of Very High Concern). To date, no supplier has declared the presence of substances subject to authorization in items supplied to Interparfums. The Ecovadis platform is used to assess the performance of suppliers, particularly perfumers, on issues relating to consumer health and safety, and in particular the absence of substances of concern or controversial substances.
A regulatory monitoring procedure, with the help of the FEBEA (Federation of Beauty Companies), enables Interparfums to ensure strict compliance with regulations, particularly with regard to the monitoring of molecules present in formulas during a ban, for example. The ban on the use of lilial from March 1, 2022 meant that all perfumes containing this molecule had to be redesigned, in conjunction with the perfumers. New documents were filed at the end of this process.
As a result, Interparfums is in the process of replacing all the substances present in its perfume concentrates whose classification is likely to be upgraded to CMR 1B. These substances include heliotropin, galaxolide, tonalide and the "lilial like" substances mentioned above.
No PFAS (perfluoroalkylated and polyfluoroalkylated substances) are present in products marketed by Interparfums.
Cosmetovigilance is a system for monitoring and recording undesirable effects associated with the use of cosmetics in humans. It concerns any undesirable effect, serious or otherwise, which has occurred under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use of a cosmetic product or which is likely to result from misuse. Interparfums processes and analyses the cosmetovigilance cases reported to it. A procedure defining the steps to be taken when a complaint is received is systematically applied and corrective measures are systematically deployed.
The two‑person regulatory department within the Supply Chain & Operations Division is responsible for checking the formulations of our products. The eight‑strong Quality department constantly monitors subcontractors throughout the production chain for defects and non‑compliance.
This team of scientists continually monitors evolving ingredient data and works with perfumers and industry peers through FEBEA (French professional organization of beauty companies) to assess the safety of ingredients used in our products.
Cosmetovigilance is carried out by the regulatory department.

Interparfums has set up a web page (myproducts. interparfums.fr) where users can browse by product and check whether or not it contains chemicals of concern. Particular attention is paid to disclosing the presence of allergens. As a result of the publication of Regulation (EU) 2023/1545, from July 16, 2023, 82 allergens must now be indicated on packaging (rather than 26 as previously).
Since 2013, all our packagers have been implementing the ISO 22716 international standard on Best Manufacturing Practices, which sets out guidelines for the production, checks, packaging, storage and dispatch of cosmetic products. It is the practical development of the Quality Assurance concept, through the description of the plant's activities.
Against this regulatory backdrop, regular audit campaigns of all packaging plants carried out by the Quality department in accordance with the ISO 22716 standard have been introduced. The purpose of these audits is to ensure that packagers maintain a good level of traceability and quality. All plant activities have been reviewed, including the processes for receiving raw materials and packaging items, manufacturing, packaging and quality control. These reports have demonstrated that the Group's subcontractors comply with ISO 22716 Best Manufacturing Practices and in particular the traceability required for all fragrance production.
Interparfums is able to design fragrances that comply with the specifications of certain distributors so that they can promote them at points of sale using the logos they create. Numerous expectations are emerging in different countries around the world, illustrating the importance of this issue for consumers.
Interparfums uses only plant‑based alcohol in all its fragrance lines, essentially beet alcohol, 99.5% of which is natural. The remainder is made up, depending on the line, of a variable proportion of natural ingredients. It is worth specifying that all the perfumers the Group works with have concentrates with a proportion of ingredients certified to ISO 9235 or ISO 16128. The proportion of natural fragrances is therefore over 80%.
For aftershave balms, hand creams, shower gels and body lotions, the Group uses between 79% and 88% natural ingredients.
Moonlight Rose from the Collection Extraordinaire by Van Cleef & Arpels is an Eau de Parfum made with 62.8% ingredients of natural origin according to the ISO 16128 standard and 8 upcycled ingredients. Green chemistry principles have also been used for 3 other ingredients.
The latest Coach Man Green launch includes a perfume made with 31.3% ingredients of natural origin according to the ISO 16128 standard. In addition, 34.2% of the perfume, i.e. 10 ingredients, comes from upcycled raw materials.
Interparfums adheres to the Middlenext corporate governance code (an independent French professional association representing mid‑cap listed companies) and as such is developing its governance in line with the CSR challenges identified in its materiality matrix presented in section 1.3.
In view of the Omnibus Law, the Interparfums Group is not subject to the regulation on taxonomy, Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union of June 18, 2020.
In terms of taxation and tax payments, the Group complies with local regulations in all the countries in which it operates and does not engage in tax evasion. The Audit Committee presents the tax breakdown to the Board of Directors each year.
In 2024, the members of the Board of Directors attended information‑sharing sessions designed to help them anticipate future regulations, particularly in terms of climate change, business ethics and the fight against corruption and forced labor. They have been specifically trained in the fight against corruption. They have been trained in the process of drawing up the dual materiality matrix so that they can validate it with sufficient expertise on the subject. A second training session on biodiversity was organized given the importance of this topic for Interparfums. They also attended a Climate Fresk workshop.
In 2024, the Governance, Nominations and Remuneration Committee was created.
Interparfums does not engage in any lobbying activities. The Group is a member of Middlenext to ensure that management is informed and trained in new regulations, in particular those relating to CSRD. Interparfums is a member of the FEBEA and UNIFAB to ensure that the Group is supported in the development of its activities. Rochas participates in the activities of the Comité Colbert and the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode.
The members of Interparfums' Executive Committee are trained in CSR by following a programme that covers the Group's main challenges: climate with the Climate Fresco, CSRD and reporting, business ethics, duty of care, etc.

The Sustainable Development Department reports to the Finance in order to take CSR issues into account at the highest level CSR issues at the highest level and to think in terms of the company's overall performance.
A CSR Executive Committee comprising all internal stakeholders was set up in 2021. It has 9 members, 4 of whom are members of the Interparfums Executive Committee: the Chief Financial Officer, the Director of Human Resources, the Director of Legal Affairs and the Executive Director of Supply Chain & Operations. It also includes the Finance Department, the Head of Corporate & Compliance/DPO, the Communications Department and the Shareholder Relations Department. This committee is led by the Sustainable Development Director.
This CSR Executive Committee reports regularly on its work to Philippe Benacin, Chairman and CEO of Interparfums, as well as to the CSR Committee of the Board of Directors created in 2024.
Caroline has extensive experience and expertise in CSR. A graduate of ESSCA in Angers and of the Collège des Hautes Études de l'Environnement et du Développement Durable (CHEDD) Centrale Paris, she founded Birdeo in 2010, a leading recruitment and HR consultancy firm specializing in positive‑impact jobs and sustainable development. It has held the B Corp label since 2015 and has been a Mission Company since 2021. Driven by a real ecological awareness and convinced that the new economic, social and environmental challenges will generate a revolution at least equivalent to the digital revolution, she decided in 2019 to go even further and created People4Impact by Birdeo, which she now heads up, the first community of freelance experts and interim managers specializing in sustainable development issues. Caroline also works with Management Committees and Boards of Directors on the organization of CSR skills and professions within companies. In 2024, she also published a book entitled «5 étapes pour se reconvertir dans la RSE» (5 steps to a new career in CSR).
She is also Chair of the edutech Ecolearn Mission Committee, a member of the "des Enjeux et des hommes" Mission Committee and a member of the Havas France Stakeholder Committee.

Details of the remuneration policy for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are provided in section 2.1.1 of Part 4 of this document. For greater transparency, this section sets out the non‑financial criteria for the CEO's variable remuneration policy, which will be put to the vote at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. The target variable remuneration remains unchanged from 2024. The payment of this variable remuneration will be subject to the same quantitative and qualitative criteria being met as in 2024, to which will be added for 2025 an environmental criterion relating to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, on the recommendation of the Governance, Remuneration and Appointments Committee (CGNR) and approved by the Board of Directors. This remuneration will be paid at the close of the 2026 Annual General Meeting.
The variable annual remuneration of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is calculated on the basis of financial and non‑financial criteria. The latter accounted for 40% in 2024 and 50% in 2025. They break down as follows:
| 2024 | 2025 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Qualitative criteria | Quality and balance of relationships with stakeholders (brands, customers, suppliers, etc.) |
10% | 10% |
| Management of subsidiaries (United States, Singapore) | 10% | 10% | |
| New sustainable development initiatives (CDP, SBTi membership, non‑financial ratings) |
5% | 5% | |
| Quantitative criteria | % of women on the Executive Committee at 31/12 of the year | 5% | 5% |
| % of employees who attended training during the year | 5% | 5% | |
| % reduction in carbon intensity between year N and N-1 | - | 10% | |
| % of independent Directors at 31/12 of the year | 5% | 5% |
As part of its ethics and compliance policy, in line with its CSR strategy, the Group is committed to conducting its internal and external activities with integrity and responsibility. It has therefore decided to adopt the Middlenext Anti-Corruption Code of Conduct in order to express its convictions on this subject and share them with all its employees and with all third parties with whom it works. This Code of Conduct sets out the guidelines to be applied by all employees, whether in France or abroad. The aim is to ensure that all Group employees behave ethically in the course of their work within the Group. In addition, a business ethics Charter has been drawn up and is enforceable with its partners to ensure that they comply with the rules of ethics, morality and law to which the Group is committed. This ethical Charter has been shared with them, using the Provigis monitoring platform launched in October 2023 and an electronic signature mechanism. Its roll‑out can be measured and improvement plans can be requested from partners.

| 2023 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of suppliers registered on the Provigis platform | 113 | 110 |
| Percentage of suppliers who have signed the ethics Charter | 51% | 61% |
| Percentage of suppliers who have signed the ethics Charter | nd | 95% |
In addition to distributing the "Business Ethics Charter", it was decided to train all employees in anti‑corruption through an e‑learning module. Employees who are most exposed to risk will benefit from a special, tailor‑made training day led by an expert. A corruption risk map will be finalized in early 2025.
Interparfums makes available to its employees and all its stakeholders a reporting platform provided by EQS Group, an independent service provider, accessible via the link https://Interparfums.integrityline.app/. Set up at the end of 2023, this platform – which is secure and guarantees the confidentiality and security of exchanges – enables anyone to report any situation that appears to breach the Group's ethics. In the past, alerts were received by other means, and no alerts were received in 2023. The introduction of this platform was accompanied by communication specifying the procedure for filing a report and the data confidentiality policy in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, see paragraph 5.4.5). More generally, a Data Protection Officer (DPO) is responsible for all measures relating to GDPR.
In the event of a whistleblowing report, an Ethics Committee consisting of the Legal Director, the Human Resources Director, and the Head of Compliance & DPO is responsible for handling the reports by conducting investigations and, if necessary, engaging an external specialist firm.
No reports were received in 2024.
By the end of 2023, the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee had received training in the fight against corruption. Then, during 2024, all employees took an e‑learning module on the fight against corruption.
Finally, employees identified as being at risk (within the Group) will follow a face‑to‑face training module planned for 2025.

| Percentage of employees trained in the fight against corruption | 3% | 93% |
As part of the partnership relations established with suppliers, an action plan to prevent economic dependence with the Group's partners has been implemented.
This duty of care is applied in particular to partners who may be exposed because of their size and infrastructure. The Group has set up a monitoring system to identify companies that could, in the long term, become economically dependent, thereby jeopardizing their relationship.
The Group's duty of care also takes the form of transparent communication that helps its partners prevent this risk of dependence. It provides medium and long‑term visibility on its forecast levels of activity, its development strategies and its needs in terms of innovation, so suppliers can build their own strategy and develop their capacity to adapt, in order to achieve the desired objectives.
Over the last few years, the Group has also been securing its purchases of a number of critical components for our strategic lines. This meant that the moulds and tools had to be sourced from two different suppliers.
Generally speaking, as part of its duty of care policy in terms of the risk of economic dependence, the Group encourages its suppliers to regularly diversify their customer base. Similarly, a supplier who has developed an innovative technique that gives it a monopoly may also put the Group at risk in terms of supply. The Group may therefore agree with it to seek a second source of supply.
Interparfums is committed to protecting personal data and the right to privacy of all its stakeholders, including customers, licensors, employees, candidates, and partners in the value chain (suppliers and subcontractors).
Since 2019, Interparfums has adopted a set of personal data protection rules, including a Personal Data Protection Charter concerning the processing of employees' personal data and a Personal Data Usage and Protection Charter, which informs employees about best practices for handling personal data in the course of their professional duties.
The Interparfums Privacy Policy, available and accessible to all on the website https://www.interparfums.fr/fr/ politique-confidentialite/, defines the principles of data protection and the framework governing the way in which individuals' personal data is processed. Individuals include all of Interparfums' stakeholders, i.e. its customers, digital users, employees, staff, subcontractors and suppliers, and job applicants. The principles set out in the Privacy Policy and the Personal Data Usage and Protection Charter must be adhered to by all employees of the Group. Under the supervision of the Group's Data Protection Officer (DPO), a mandatory e‑learning training course was conducted in early 2025 to ensure an appropriate level of awareness of the applicable data protection requirements within the Group and to reinforce the principles outlined in the aforementioned policies and charters. More broadly, the Data Protection Officer (DPO) is responsible for informing and advising the Group on its legal and regulatory obligations regarding personal data, thereby assisting the Group in complying with the principles of the GDPR.
Beyond data and system protection, Interparfums' cybersecurity initiatives reflect its maturity in risk management and its ability to ensure business continuity.
Cybersecurity risks are constantly evolving and can have major consequences for companies, including reputational damage, financial losses, operational disruptions and the theft of sensitive data. A dedicated governance framework has been established, led by the Chief Information Officer (CIO), who reports directly to the Deputy Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman & CEO in the event of a suspected crisis. This governance framework is responsible for identifying potential vulnerabilities and threats in order to implement appropriate protective measures. This includes the implementation of network and asset protection tools, intrusion detection systems and more.
The human factor is one of the most exposed vulnerabilities in the security chain, making it essential to train them in cybersecurity best practices. A dedicated training programme was implemented in 2024 within the French operations.
Cybersecurity must be an ongoing process. It is important to monitor systems for anomalies and conduct penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities.
Finally, an incident response plan is in place to minimize damage in the event of an attack and restore the original situation.
By implementing appropriate security measures, Interparfums significantly reduces its exposure to cyberattacks, protects the integrity and availability of data and strengthens stakeholder confidence.
Reporting scope: the content of this report and the indicators presented in the following pages, unless otherwise stated, cover the Group (France, United States and Singapore) and are consolidated for the year 2024 (i.e. from January 1 to December 31, 2024). No subsidiary is excluded from this reporting scope. The non‑financial scope covered by this report is identical to the financial scope. All Interparfums operations are therefore covered in this report.

Van Cleef & Arpels and Interparfums SA signed a new 9‑year license agreement, effective until December 31, 2033.
Established in 2013, Off-White™ is defining the grey area between black and white as a color. Under the brand name, seasonal men's and women's clothing collections, objects, furniture, and publications are articulating a current cultural vision. Collections are embedded in a recurrent backstory, with an emphasis on creating garments that have an identity by design.
With a design studio based in Milan, Italy, the label harnesses the country's history and craftsmanship, yet offers a global perspective on design and trends. Guided by a clear vision of splicing the reality of how clothes are worn with the artistic expression of high‑fashion, the late creative Director and designer Virgil Abloh explored concepts in the realm of youth culture in the contemporary context.
Considering the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Group outlines its economic and balance sheet exposure in these regions.
In 2024, Interparfums generated 3% of its sales from Russia and Belarus. The Group complies with European Union‑imposed restrictions and has implemented a specific invoicing policy for these countries to reduce credit risk exposure to a negligible level.
The potential impact of the war has been factored into the brand valuation test for Lanvin, which has historically had a strong presence in Eastern Europe.
In accordance with European Regulation 1606/2002 dated from July 19, 2002, Interparfums consolidated financial statements for the 2024 financial year have been prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standards (IAS/IFRS), applicable since 2005, as approved by the European Union.

The Italian subsidiary Interparfums Srl was liquidated in February 2024.
Subsidiaries financial statements are prepared for the same accounting period as the parent company. The financial year lasts 12 months and ends on December 31.
The Group's current exposure to the effects of climate change is limited. At this stage, the impact of climate change on the financial statements is not considered significant.
Interparfums has developed an environmental sustainability policy to offer consumers a responsible range of products throughout their lifecycle. This policy focuses on 3 key areas: developing components and packaging that integrate environmental and social considerations, ensuring consumer health and safety and increasing the proportion of natural‑origin ingredients and components in our fragrances. According to the Group, this policy does not require significant short- or medium‑term investment. Rather, it involves adjusting processes and practices and supporting suppliers in this transition.
Additionally, climate change and its consequences will surely affect raw material prices together with production, distribution, and transportation costs. That said, short‑term effects are considered insignificant. Furthermore, the Group's business model is resilient, allowing variable cost adjustments to maintain net margin, even in the event of a rise in production costs or a decline in sales.
The company's operating currency and currency for the presentation of financial statements is the euro.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the date applicable at the transaction date. Payables and receivables in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate applicable as of December 31, 2024. Gains and losses from the translation of these balances at the December 31, 2024, exchange rate are recorded in the income statement. Transactions covered by currency hedges are translated at the contracted exchange rates.
The main exchange rates used to translate the financial statements of subsidiaries into euros are as follows:
| Currency | Closing rate | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | ||
| US dollar (USD) | 1.1050 | 1.0389 | 1.0813 | 1.0824 | |
| Singapore dollar (SGD) | 1.4591 | 1.4164 | 1.4523 | 1.4458 | |
| Swiss franc (CHF) | 0.9260 | 0.9412 | 0.9719 | 0.9526 |
As part of the consolidated financial statement preparation process, some balance sheet and income statement figures require the use of assumptions, estimates or judgements. In particular, this involves valuing intangible assets and determining the amount of provisions for risks and liabilities. These assumptions, estimates or judgements are based on information and circumstances available at the reporting date. However, they may differ from reality in the future.
Sales mainly include sales from the warehouse to distributors and agents, and sales to retailers for the portion of activity conducted by Group subsidiaries.
Sales of perfumes and cosmetics are presented net of any form of discount or rebate.
Sales recognition is based on the conditions of transfer to the buyer of the risks and rewards of ownership. Year‑end invoices where ownership transfer occurs in the following financial year are not recognized in the sales of the year in progress.
Trademarks and other intangible assets are recognized at acquisition cost, whether they relate to licensed brands or acquired brands. They benefit from legal protection. Acquired brands have an indefinite useful life and are not amortized.
Intangible assets with a finite useful life, such as initial license fees, are amortized on a straight‑line basis over the term of the license.
The Company's right of use for glassware moulds and tools is classified as an intangible asset. These assets have a finite useful life and are amortized over three to five years.
Licenses and initial license fees are subject to impairment testing if there is an indication of impairment. Their recoverable value is determined using the discounted cash flow method, based on the real or estimated useful life of the licenses and the future cash flows they are expected to generate. The data used for this evaluation is derived from the annual budgets and multi‑year plans drawn up by Management over the useful life of the licenses.
Proprietary brands are also subject to an impairment test, at least annually. The net carrying amount is compared with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher between fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use, which is estimated using projected cash flows derived from five‑year strategic plans, discounted to infinity.
A provision for impairment is recognized whenever the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount.
The pre‑tax discount rate used for these valuations is the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), which stood at 9.47% at December 31, 2024, compared to 10.39% at December 31, 2023. This rate was determined based on a positive long‑term interest rate of 3.26%, corresponding to the average 10‑year French government bond (OAT) yield for the last quarter, the expected return rate for investors in the sector and the industry‑specific risk premium. The perpetual growth rate used was 2% at December 31, 2024, and 2% at December 31, 2023.
Acquisition‑related costs, analyzed as directly attributable transaction costs, are included in the asset's acquisition cost.
Other intangible assets are amortized over their useful life and are subject to impairment testing when an indication of impairment occurs.
All license agreements stipulate an international right of use. Other intangible assets, particularly glassware moulds, are primarily used in France by our subcontractors.
Property, plant, and equipment are measured at acquisition cost (purchase price plus directly attributable costs) and are depreciated on a straight‑line basis over their estimated useful life. Property, plant and equipment include moulds used for caps.
In April 2021, the French subsidiary completed the acquisition of its headquarters, comprising land, buildings and installations. Land is not depreciated, buildings and installations and fixtures are depreciated on a straight‑line basis over 50 years and 7 to 25 years respectively.
In 2022 and 2023, the French subsidiary acquired additional premises to expand its headquarters. From the date they are put into service, the portion allocated to land is not depreciated and the portion allocated to facades, fixtures and fittings is depreciated on a straight‑line basis over 25, 15, and 7 years respectively.

The majority of property, plant, and equipment is used in France.
Inventories are measured at the lower of their production cost or net realizable value. A provision for impairment is recognized on a case‑by‑case basis when the probable realizable value is lower than the carrying amount.
The cost of raw materials and supplies is determined by using the weighted average cost method.
The cost of finished goods is determined by incorporating production costs and an allocated share of indirect costs, which are assessed based on a standard rate.
At the end of each financial year, these standard rates are compared with the actual rates obtained based on year‑end data.
"Non‑current financial assets" consist of:
Receivables are measured at their nominal value. A provision for impairment is recognized on a case‑by‑case basis when the net realizable value is lower than the carrying amount.
Deferred taxes, corresponding to temporary differences between the tax bases and accounting values of consolidated assets and liabilities, as well as deferred taxes on consolidation adjustments, are calculated using the liability method, based on taxation rules in force at the reporting date.
Tax savings resulting from carry‑forward tax losses are recorded as deferred tax assets and are impaired when necessary. Only amounts with a probable realization is are retained as assets in the balance sheet.
"Equity‑accounted investments" include the 25% equity interest acquired in June 2020 in Divabox (see Note 3.5).
"Cash and cash equivalents" includes cash on hand and short‑term investments that consist of highly liquid investments readily convertible into a known cash amount without penalty and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
"Current financial assets" mainly include loans granted and shares in publicly traded companies within the luxury sector.
Interparfums shares held by the Group are recorded as a deduction from consolidated equity at acquisition cost.
In the event of disposal, the net gain or loss on disposal is recognized directly in equity.
This provision covers the present value of the obligations related to employees' vested rights to contractual retirement benefits payable upon retirement.
Until December 30, 2024, Interparfums applied the mutually agreed termination scheme introduced by Ordinance 2017‑1387 (published in the Official Journal on September 23, 2017) and Decree 2017‑1398 (published in the Official Journal on September 26, 2017) for evaluating retirement benefits. Under this scheme, termination was based on an agreement between the employer and employee, specifying the conditions of termination.
As from December 31, 2024, retirements will now follow the retirement scheme outlined in the collective bargaining agreement, with benefits calculated according to the applicable statutory scale. The impact of this change in assumption has been accounted for as a past service cost. The calculation method used is the projected unit credit method. This method takes into account the projected rights and staff costs at retirement, the probability of payment and the length of service, prorated to reflect service already rendered by the employees. Retirement benefits are paid as a lump sum.
The calculation of retirement benefit obligations estimates the probable present value of future payments (PPVFP), i.e. employees' accrued entitlements upon retirement, considering the probability of departure, mortality before retirement, revaluation and discounting factors. This probable present value is then prorated based on years of service within the Company at the calculation date.
A provision is recognized when the entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) resulting from a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, provided the obligation can be reliably estimated.
Derivative and hedging instruments implemented by the Group aim to limit exposure to both interest rate and foreign exchange risks and are not used for speculative purposes.
Foreign exchange hedging contracts are entered into to hedge cash flow exposure at the time of recognizing receivables or payables. These contracts have maturities of 3 to 9 months, depending on the settlement terms of receivables and payables in foreign currencies (mainly US Dollar and British Pound). Foreign exchange gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in profit or loss when receivables are recorded.
Additionally, forward contracts have been set up to hedge forecasted sales in US Dollars. Under IFRS 9, these hedges are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting applies when the hedge is clearly defined and documented at inception, and hedge effectiveness is demonstrated at inception and throughout its duration. At the reporting date, the hedging instruments related to these contracts are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss for the ineffective portion of the hedge and in equity for the effective portion. In 2024, sales were adjusted to reflect the impact of these hedges.
An interest rate swap was implemented in 2021 to hedge interest rate fluctuations on the Solférino loan, which is based on 1‑month Euribor. This swap covers two‑thirds of both the nominal amount and the duration. This financial instrument is not qualified as a hedge under IFRS 9 and is therefore recorded at fair value through profit and loss.
A second interest rate swap was set up at the end of 2022 to hedge interest rate fluctuations on the Lacoste loan, which is also based on 1‑month Euribor. This instrument qualifies as a hedge under IFRS 9 and is therefore recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income (equity).
At initial recognition, borrowings are measured at their fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
At the reporting date, borrowings are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Other financial and operating liabilities are initially recognized in the balance sheet at fair value. For short‑term liabilities, this generally corresponds to the invoice amounts.
IFRS 2 requires the recognition of an expense in the income statement, with a corresponding entry in reserves, for the market value of free shares granted to employees, as estimated at the grant date. This value also takes into account assumptions regarding beneficiary departures and a probability rate for achieving the performance conditions required to qualify for these shares. Subsequent changes in value after the grant date have no impact on this initial valuation. This expense is recognized over the vesting period and adjusted each year based on updated assumptions regarding the presence of the beneficiaries over the vesting period.
Under IAS 38, expenses related to trademark name registrations are not capitalized. They are recognized as "research and advisory expenses".
Earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, after deducting own shares recorded as a reduction in equity.
Diluted earnings per share is determined using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, after deducting only own shares intended for long‑term holding, and increased by the weighted average number of shares that would result from the exercise of outstanding subscription options during the period.
To ensure comparability, earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the previous year are systematically recalculated to account for the free share grants of the current year.
The Group's consolidated income statement is presented by function. This presentation classifies expenses and income according to their function (cost of sales, selling expenses, administrative expenses) rather than by their original nature.
The consolidated balance sheet is presented according to the current and non‑current classification of assets and liabilities.
The segment information presented is derived from the data used by management for monitoring the Group's business activities.
The Company's main activity is "Fragrances." As the financial performance indicators for each brand in this segment are similar, the Group's income statement and balance sheet represent, as a whole, the "Fragrances" business.
The Company also operates a small "Fashion" segment, which includes activities related to the fashion division of the Rochas brand. Due to the insignificance of the Fashion segment (less than 0.2% of total sales), its income statement is not presented separately.
Significant balance sheet items related to the "Fashion" segment are disclosed in Note 5.1.
The Group operates internationally and analyses its sales by geographical region.
The assets required for business operations are primarily located in France.

In May 2024, for the 2023 financial year, Interparfums SA paid a dividend of €1.15 per share, representing over 67% of the net profit for the year (€1.05 for the previous year).
Regarding financing, given its financial structure, the Group has the capacity to seek financing from credit institutions through medium‑term loans to finance major operations.
In May 2021, a €120 million loan with a 10‑year maturity was contracted to finance the acquisition of the new headquarters of Interparfums SA in Paris.
In December 2022, a €50 million loan with a 4‑year maturity was contracted to finance the acquisition of the operating rights for the Lacoste license.

As a reminder, until December 30, 2024, Interparfums applied the mutually agreed termination scheme introduced by Ordinance 2017‑1387 (published in the Official Journal on September 23, 2017) and Decree 2017‑1398 (published in the Official Journal on September 26, 2017) for evaluating retirement benefits.
Starting December 31, 2024, the provision for retirement benefits is now recognized to meet the Company's statutory obligation to pay the benefit provided for in the collective bargaining agreement to employees who retire.
For the 2024 financial year, the following assumptions were applied: retirement age of 65, employer social security contribution rates of 42.5% for executives and 46.8% for non‑executives, annual salary growth rate of 4%, staff turnover rate based on the age of employees, mortality tables TH 00‑02 for men and TF 00‑02 for women, and a 10‑year IBOXX private sector bond discount rate of 3.38%.
Based on these assumptions, the annual charge of €782 thousand, recognized in operating profit, is broken down as follows:
A gain of €3,469 thousand was recognized in non‑recurring income, reflecting the impact of the change in calculation parameters for the benefit.
The positive actuarial variance for 2024, recorded in reserves for €1,562 thousand, mainly reflects changes in assumptions (increase in discount rate) and experience variances.
An increase of 0.5 percentage points in the discount rate would result in a decrease of €222 thousand in the present value of the obligation at December 31, 2024, whereas a decrease of 0.5 percentage points would lead to an increase of €243 thousand.
In April 2021, to finance the acquisition of its future headquarters for a total of €125 million, Interparfums SA raised a €120 million loan, amortizing over 10 years.
Amortization is made in fixed monthly instalments of €1 million in principal since April 2021. The interest rate is based on 1‑month Euribor plus a margin.
The loan was initially recognized at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs of €1.1 million, in accordance with IFRS 9.
The outstanding balance at December 31, 2024 is €75 million.
In December 2022, Interparfums SA raised a €50 million loan, amortizing over 4 years, to finance the upfront fee of the Lacoste license for a total of €90 million.
Amortization is made in fixed monthly instalments of €1.04 million in principal since December 2022. The interest rate is based on 1‑month Euribor plus a margin.
The loan was initially recognized at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs of €160 thousand, in accordance with IFRS 9.
This floating‑rate loan was hedged by a fixed‑rate payer swap over its entire nominal amount and maturity.
At December 31, 2024, the swap had a fair value liability of €195 thousand.
In July 2024, Interparfums SA raised a €40 million loan, amortizing over 3 years, to finance the second payment for the upfront fee of the Lacoste license, for a total of €90 million.
Amortization is made in fixed monthly instalments of €1.2 million in principal since August 2024, plus monthly interest payments. This loan bears a fixed interest rate, including the applicable margin.
The loan has been recognized at fair value in accordance with IFRS 9.
The outstanding balance at December 31, 2024 is €35 million.
"Lease liabilities" include liabilities corresponding to the present value of future lease payments for lease contracts recognized as assets under IFRS 16. The main lease agreements covered include the office leases in both New York and Singapore and the storage warehouse in Normandy.

No covenants are associated with the loan used to acquire the new headquarters.
No other specific provisions are attached to this loan.
A leverage ratio (net consolidated debt/EBITDA consolidated) is applicable to the Lacoste loan contracted by the parent company. This ratio must be below 2.50x, and it stood at -0.2x for the 2024 financial year.
An amendment signed in 2022 aims to marginally index the interest charge of the Lacoste loan to five sustainable development objectives, with the first assessment year being 2023, covering four objectives. Three out of the four objectives were met, resulting in a 0.03% reduction in the loan's interest rate.
The second Lacoste loan also includes an interest rate adjustment based on Interparfums' Ecovadis rating, allowing for an interest rate improvement of up to 10 basis points from the second anniversary of the loan start date.

In accordance with IFRS 13, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities is classified as Level 2, except for the fair value of listed shares, which are presented under "current financial assets" and measured at fair value through profit
or loss based on a quoted market price (Level 1). The carrying amount of the items presented above constitutes a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
The Group is primarily exposed to interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk, for which it uses derivative instruments. Other risks to which the Group may be exposed do not result in the determination of materially significant quantitative elements.
The Group's exposure to interest rate fluctuations arises primarily from its financial debt. The Group's policy aims to secure financial expenses by implementing hedging instruments, in the form of fixed‑rate interest rate swaps. The Group considers that these transactions are not speculative in nature and are necessary for the effective management of its interest rate risk exposure.

A significant portion of the Group's sales is denominated in foreign currencies, primarily in US Dollars (50.2% of sales) and, to a lesser extent, in British Pounds (4.2% of sales).
Only Interparfums SA has a significant exposure to foreign exchange risk, as the Group's other subsidiaries operate in their local currencies.
The net foreign exchange positions of Interparfums SA in the main foreign currencies are as follows:
| (€ thousands) | USD | GBP |
|---|---|---|
| Assets | 65,768 | 6,509 |

| Net hedged positions | (22,555) | - |
| Net exposure after hedging | 34,442 | 4,226 |
Interparfums SA's foreign exchange risk policy aims to hedge highly probable budgeted exposures, mainly related to cash flows denominated in US Dollars, and trade receivables denominated in US Dollars, British Pounds, and Japanese Yen.
To achieve this, Interparfums SA uses forward foreign exchange contracts, following strict procedures prohibiting speculative transactions:
At December 31, 2024, Interparfums SA had hedged 34% of its US dollar receivables.
A 10% fluctuation in the USD/EUR and GBP/EUR exchange rates is considered relevant and reasonably possible as a risk variable within a financial year. A 10% increase in the US dollar and British Pound exchange rates would result in an increase in sales of €48 million and an increase in operating profit of €16 million. A 10% decrease in these exchange rates would have a symmetrical negative impact.
The financial instruments and cash deposits used by the Group to manage its interest rate and foreign exchange risks are contracted with top‑tier counterparties holding investment‑grade credit ratings.
The Group has implemented a range of procedures to mitigate counterparty risk, particularly in relation to trade receivables: It has subscribed to credit insurance with Euler Hermes and Coface for a significant portion of export receivables. Credit limits are determined on a client‑by‑client basis, based on financial health assessments. For sales to Russia and Belarus, the Group strictly complies with the restrictions imposed by the European Union.

The foreign exchange result was mainly impacted by the appreciation of the US dollar against the Euro during the period.
Allocation to and reversals of financial provisions represent fair value variations of listed equities owned (within luxury sector), and impairments recognized on other financial assets held.
Other financial expenses primarily consist of discounts granted to customers.

Interparfums SA is a French limited company (Société Anonyme) governed by a Board of Directors.
Since 2010, Interparfums has adhered to the Middlenext Corporate Governance Code, available at www.middlenext. com. With each revision of the Middlenext Code, the Board of Directors conducts an analysis of the newly proposed recommendations to adapt and improve existing governance mechanisms.
As of the latest update of the Middlenext Code in September 2021, the Code contains 22 recommendations, none of which Interparfums has opted to exclude.
In accordance with Recommendation No. 22, Board members have also reviewed the "points of vigilance" outlined in the Code and annually assess key governance issues to ensure the effectiveness of corporate governance.
Specifically, regarding Recommendation No. 8, which calls for the establishment of a specialized committee on Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (CSR), the Board of Directors of Interparfums set up a CSR Committee in June 2024. This decision followed the appointment of Ms. Caroline Renoux, an expert in CSR, as an independent Director of the Company by the Annual General Meeting on April 16, 2024. Caroline Renoux serves as Chair of the CSR Committee, supported by existing Board members who have already been trained in CSR matters.
In compliance with Middlenext Code Recommendation 9, the Board of Directors established a Charter (Rules of Procedure) defining the operating rules of the Board and the terms of a code of conduct for Directors that supplements the provisions provided for by law and the Company's Bylaws.
The full text of this Charter is available at the Company's website (www.interparfums-finance.fr).
The main provisions of this Charter are as follows:
These internal rules are subject to regular updates to reflect new regulations and corporate governance recommendations, as well as proposals from Board members to enhance operational efficiency.
The latest update to the Charter was approved by the Board of Directors on February 25, 2025, subject to the approval of Resolutions 18 and 19, which provide for amendments to the Bylaws by the General Meeting on April 17, 2025.
To align with the Company's business model, which operates in a highly competitive environment, the Board of Directors decided, by resolution on December 29, 2002, to unify the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer: Philippe Benacin serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Interparfums SA. With in‑depth knowledge of the Company, which he co‑founded with his partner, Jean Madar, CEO of the US-based Interparfums Inc., Philippe Benacin has a clear vision of the Company's future prospects. His active involvement in the management of the Company was a key factor in the Board's decision. This governance structure has contributed to efficient corporate management, fostering alignment between strategic direction and operational functions, which is essential for greater responsiveness and effectiveness in the decision‑making process.
The limitations on the CEO's powers are set out in the Internal Rules, which specify that the following transactions are subject to prior approval by the Board:
During the 2024 fiscal year, Philippe Benacin was assisted by two Deputy Chief Executive Officers, Philippe Santi and Frédéric Garcia-Pelayo, both of whom were first appointed by Board resolution on June 15, 2004. However, as of the date of this document, only Philippe Santi remains Deputy Chief Executive Officer, as Frédéric Garcia-Pelayo stepped down from his role as Deputy Chief Executive Officer with effect from December 30, 2024.
The Executive Committee, led by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, discusses the operational and strategic development of the Company's business. Its composition reflects the complementary expertise within Interparfums.
As Frédéric Garcia-Pelayo stepped down from his position as Executive Vice President with effect from December 30, 2024, and as his employment contract also ended on the same date, he has not been a member of the Executive Committee since that date.
At December 31, 2024, the Executive Committee consists of 12 members, 42% of whom are women:
The Company has chosen to set up an extended Executive Committee, bringing together all operational and support divisions at the head office, as well as the Managing Directors of its subsidiaries.
The Company is committed to implementing a non‑discrimination and diversity policy and is continuously working towards achieving gender balance within the Executive Committee, while also ensuring the representation of long‑standing expertise among some of its members.
In accordance with the provisions of Article L.22‑10‑10 of the French Commercial Code, the Company seeks to maintain balanced representation of women and men within this Committee. With the appointment of two new members on December 30, 2024, the Executive Committee has achieved its gender diversity target, ensuring that at least 40% of its members are of each gender. (In 2023, the proportion of women was 27%, rising to 42% in 2024).
The Company is committed to gender equality, particularly in terms of pay equity, and strives to ensure that women are represented at all levels of the organization, including in senior leadership roles.
The CSR Executive Committee, created in 2020, by the diversity of the operational people who compose it, has the main mission of shedding light, through its analyses, on the strategy of the Company whose orientations in terms of social and environmental responsibility are submitted to the Board and thus monitoring the implementation and development of significant operations in progress. As of December 31, 2024, the CSR Executive Committee is composed of the following 9 members, 55% of whom are women and 4 of whom are part of the Executive Committee:

The composition of the administrative bodies at the end of the financial year ending December 31, 2024 is as follows:
The Board currently includes one member with employee status under an employment contract prior to his appointment to the positions of Director and Deputy Managing Director, namely Mr. Philippe Santi, it being specified that the employment contract and mandate as Deputy Managing Director of Mr. Frédéric Garcia-Pelayo ended on December 30, 2024.
Given the diversity of the topics covered and the difference in the timing of the topics dealt with by the Audit and Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors of September 11, 2023 and June 10, 2024, decided to organize their governance into 3 committees:
The members of the Committees were appointed for the duration of their term of office as Directors. The Committees are composed of independent Directors, including their Chairs (see paragraph 1.3.7. below).
The members of the Committees were appointed for the duration of their mandate as Directors and their skills and background (see paragraph 1.3.6. below) enable the Committees to fulfill their missions with the required experience.

(1) Early end of mandate, following the resignation of his mandate as Director, effective April 17, 2025, for personal reasons.
In compliance with the provisions of Article 4.8 of the Internal Regulations, all Directors hold at least 300 shares of the Company.
By accepting the Internal Regulations, the Directors have undertaken to respect the rules for the accumulation of mandates provided for by the Commercial Code in articles L225‑21 and L 225‑94.
As of December 31, 2024, the number of terms of office of each Director is in line with the legal provisions in force.
The office term is currently set at 4 years. However, as an exception and in order to allow for the implementation and maintenance of the staggered terms of office of Directors, the General Meeting may appoint one or more Directors for a shorter term of 2 or 3 years in accordance with Recommendation No. 11 of the Middlenext Code, which recommends a staggered renewal of terms of office.
The Company considers that, given its size and the composition of its Board, the term of office of 4 years favors the experience of the Directors in terms of knowledge of the Company, its markets and its activities in the context of their decision‑making, without reducing the quality of supervision and that the possibility of appointing Directors for a period of 2 and 3 years within the framework of a staggering of mandates gives the Company flexibility in the management of its governance.
The Company follows Recommendation No. 10 of the Middlenext Code by communicating to the General Meeting information relating to the experience and skills of each Director upon the appointment and renewal of mandates.
The appointment of each Director and the renewal of their mandates are the subject of a separate resolution at the General Meeting.
In accordance with Recommendation No. 1 of the Middlenext Code, each Director is made aware of the responsibilities incumbent upon him or her at the time of his or her appointment and is encouraged to observe the rules in force relating to the obligations resulting from his or her mandate, which are detailed in the Internal Regulations of the Board of Directors.
Each member of the Board complies with the legal rules on the accumulation of mandates (the Middlenext Code recommends that the Director, when exercising a mandate as "executive", does not accept more than two other mandates as Directors in listed companies, including foreign ones, outside his group), informs the Board in the event of a conflict of interest arising after obtaining his mandate, attends Board meetings and the General Meeting regularly, ensures that he has all the necessary information on the agenda of Board meetings before making any decision and respects a true obligation of confidentiality.
More specifically, and in accordance with Recommendation No. 2 of the Middlenext Code strengthening the management of conflicts of interest, each Director declares before each meeting any potential conflicts of interest and, annually, any conflicts of interest, both proven and potential, between his or her obligations to the Company and his or her private interests, particularly with regard to his or her other mandates and functions.
In accordance with the provisions of the internal regulations, in a situation which reveals or may reveal a conflict of interest between the corporate interest and his direct or indirect personal interest or the interest of the shareholder or group of shareholders he represents, the Director concerned must:
— inform the Board as soon as it becomes aware of it;
Once a year, the Board reviews known conflicts of interest. Each Director reports, where appropriate, on any changes in their situation.
Based on these statements, the Board of Directors has not identified any conflict of interest as of the date of preparation of this document.
Concerning the rules of stock market ethics, the members of the Board took note of the rules applicable to the prevention of insider trading, in particular those resulting from the European Market Abuse Regulation No. 596‑2014 which came into force on July 3, 2016 and the European "Listing Act" Regulation No. 2024/2809 of October 23, 2024, amending the European Market Abuse Regulation, as well as the recommendations of the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) and more specifically those relating to the periods of abstention during which it is prohibited to carry out securities transactions.
In this respect, the Stock Market Ethics Charter established by the Company, the main provisions of which are included in the Internal Regulations of the Board of Directors, reiterates the prohibition for the holder of inside information to carry out or cause to be carried out financial transactions on Interparfums shares.
Each member of the Board is also asked not to carry out transactions on Interparfums shares during certain periods and when they have inside information. Finally, Directors inform the AMF of each transaction carried out by themselves or by persons closely associated with them on Interparfums shares.

The Board of Directors of November 26, 2024 noted the resignation of Mr. Frédéric Garcia-Pelayo from his mandate as Director at the end of the General Meeting of April 17, 2025, two years before the end of the latter, for personal reasons.
The Board of Directors paid tribute to Mr. Frédéric Garcia-Pelayo for the quality of his contribution to the work of the Board during his 15 years in office, and more generally for his work and impact as Executive Vice President and Export Director within the company for more than 20 years.
As every year, the Board considered the balance of male/female representation among Board members as well as the diversity and complementarity of their skills and qualifications.

6 independent Directors (55%). | ||||
| Age and seniority of Directors |
No more than one‑third of Directors over the age of 80, in accordance with the statutory provisions. In addition to the age of Directors, a balance is sought in terms of seniority on the Board. |
The average age of the Directors is 65.2 years. Its composition also remains balanced with regard to the distribution between Directors with longer experience of the Company and Directors who joined the Board more recently. |
The Board of Directors pays particular attention to the selection of its members. In addition to their complementary skills and respective technical expertise, Directors are also chosen for their international experience and their understanding of the strategic challenges of the markets in which the Company operates. The Board members, who complement each other due to the diversity of their professional experiences, ensure that the measures taken by the Company are aligned with its strategy.
The Directors have diverse and complementary profiles thanks to their broad and diversified experience. Thus, in addition to their expertise in finance, management and corporate strategy, their knowledge of the luxury and cosmetics sector and now of media & digital, and CSR, contribute to the quality and professionalism of the Board's discussions (see paragraph 1.3.6).
In light of the criteria listed in Recommendation No. 3 of the Middlenext Code, a Director is qualified as independent by the absence of a family contractual financial relationship or significant proximity that could impair independence of judgment. The Middlenext Code recommends that the Board includes at least 2 independent members.
In this spirit, the Board of Directors, as of December 31, 2024, has 6 independent members, with regard to the following criteria:
| No. 1 | No. 2 | No. 3 | No. 4 | No. 5 | Qualification of independence |

X = independence criterion satisfied.
(1) It is specified that the Company considers that due to her first appointment as a Director in 2009, the total duration of Ms. Chantal Roos's cumulative mandates as a Director reaches 14 years in 2023. This cumulative duration of 14 years causes her to lose the status of independent Director despite the fact that Ms. Chantal Roos meets all the independence criteria under the Middlenext Code.
(2) It is further specified that Ms. Dominique Cyrot was considered independent with regard to the criteria of the Middlenext Code during the 2024 financial year, although the total duration of her mandates as Director reached 12 years in 2024.
As of December 31, 2024, the independent Directors have no business relationships of any kind with the Company or its Group that could compromise their independence.
Upon joining the Board of Directors and throughout their term of office, all Directors may receive, if they deem it necessary, training tailored to their specific needs within the Board. In particular, upon taking up their duties, they are offered specific training on the role, functions and responsibilities of the Director.
Board members receive press releases and all documentation intended for shareholders as well as the associated press review.
They receive regular information on CSR issues, ethics and compliance, and new regulations applicable to the Company.
During the 2024 financial year, as part of the three‑year training plan recommended by the Recommendation No. 5 of the Middlenext Code and implemented by the Company, the Directors have benefited from training on:
Throughout the 2024 financial year, Directors received an update on regulatory developments and the organization of extra‑financial reporting to come in 2025.
1.4.1 — Attendance of members of the Board of Directors and its Committees
N/A: not applicable because not a member.
This attendance is calculated by establishing the ratio between the number of actual or telecommunication attendances and the number of meetings applicable to each member.
The number of meetings held by the Board of Directors is in accordance with recommendation no. 6 of the Middlenext Code. It meets as often as the interests of the Company require, and at least four times a year, upon the invitation of its Chairman and according to a jointly agreed schedule, which schedule may be modified at the request of the Directors or if unforeseen events so warrant.
The Chairman organizes and directs the work of the Board, which he reports to the General Meeting. The work is carried out in a collegiate framework and in compliance with the law, regulations and recommendations. Thus, the Chairman of the Board of Directors ensures that Directors are provided with prior and regular information, which is a key condition for the exercise of their mission.
The Statutory Auditors attend meetings of the Board of Directors whenever the Board is called upon to deliberate on the Company's accounts or on any matters on which they can provide the members of the Board of Directors with an informed opinion. Each meeting of the Board called upon to approve the annual and half‑yearly accounts was preceded by a meeting of the Audit Committee in the presence of the Statutory Auditors.
During the year 2024, the Board of Directors met 7 times with an attendance rate of 92.95% and held meetings lasting an average of 3 hours, deliberating in particular on the following points:
In accordance with the law, managers do not take part in the deliberations or votes during the Board meeting deciding on the determination or allocation of the elements of compensation concerning them respectively.
Furthermore, in accordance with Law No. 2019‑486 of May 22, 2019 (Pacte Law), the Board of Directors has implemented an annual review procedure for current agreements concluded under normal conditions, allowing their evaluation, as it does for the examination of regulated agreements.
It is expected that Management will be informed immediately and in advance of any transaction likely to constitute a regulated agreement at Company level, including when the agreement is likely to constitute a free agreement, by the person directly or indirectly interested, by the Chairman of the Board or by any person in the Group having knowledge of such a draft agreement.
It is up to the Financial and Legal Departments to decide on the qualification of the agreement, it being specified that the Board of Directors may, in any event, carry out this qualification itself and, where appropriate, the prior authorization of an agreement brought to its attention if it considers that this agreement is a regulated agreement.
In this context, an examination is carried out to assess, on a case‑by‑case basis, whether the draft agreement falls under the procedure for regulated agreements, whether it is an agreement concluded with a wholly‑owned subsidiary or whether it meets the criteria for standard agreements concluded under normal conditions.
If the Financial and Legal Departments consider that the agreement in question is a regulated agreement, they inform the Board of Directors or its Chairman to implement the legal procedure.
The assessment of the criteria is re‑examined on the occasion of any modification, renewal, extension or termination of a previously concluded agreement.
In accordance with Recommendation 14 of the Middlenext Code, the Board of Directors paid particular attention to negative votes by analyzing, among other things, how the majority of minority shareholders had expressed themselves.
The Board of Directors therefore reviewed, one by one, the 20 resolutions submitted to the shareholders for a vote at the General Meeting of April 16, 2024 and established that 17 of the 20 aforementioned resolutions had received a favorable vote from the majority of minority votes.
The three resolutions on which the minority majority voted against are:
Following this analysis, the Board of Directors took these negative votes into account and detailed the information provided under the Chairman and CEO's compensation policy and under the Directors' compensation policy in paragraphs 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 of this document, and in particular the breakdown by Director and by type of meeting (Board of Directors and/or Committee of the Board of Directors) of the maximum annual fixed sum allocated to members of the Board of Directors.
The Company is informed about the positions of the main proxy advisors and proposes a debate with some of them, where possible, prior to the preparation of its General Meeting.
By regularly meeting with the Individual Shareholders' Advisory Committee created in 2022 and composed of 10 individual minority shareholders and 2 employee minority shareholders, the Company maintains dialogue with its shareholders by offering preparatory meetings for the General Meeting so that they can submit proposals to it.
In addition, at the end of each results presentation meeting, the Company discusses the evolution of investors' expectations and areas of focus. It also provides information and debates on CSR issues at this time.
Finally, the Company gives its shareholders the opportunity to ask written questions before the General Meeting, and answers them if questions are asked.
As of the date of this Universal Registration Document, the Board of Directors has met once since the beginning of 2025 to deliberate on the one hand on the compensation policy for executives and members of the Board of Directors and on the other hand on the review and approval of the statutory and consolidated financial statements for the financial year ending December 31, 2024 and on the convening of the Combined General Meeting of shareholders in 2025.
The Audit Committee is mainly responsible for the following missions:
During the financial year ending December 31, 2024, the Audit Committee met 4 times with an attendance rate of 93.75% and reviewed the following points of the audit of the annual and half‑yearly consolidated accounts:
The Committee informed the Board of Directors of the results of the audit, it also explained to the Board of Directors how the statutory audit contributed to the integrity of financial reporting and specified what role it had played in this process.
The Audit Committee specifically has adopted a charter describing its organization, operation, skills and responsibilities, the latest update of which was drawn up by the Board of Directors on January 23, 2024.
The Governance, Nominations and Compensation Committee (CGNR) is responsible for determining, in terms of compensation, the various components of the compensation of the Company's executive officers. It also has responsibilities regarding the compensation of non‑executive Directors: their amount and distribution. The Committee's role is to carry out preparatory work, with legal decisions being made by the Board of Directors.
During the financial year ending December 31, 2024, the CGNR met twice with an attendance rate of 100% and reviewed the following points:
The CSR Committee, created in June 2024, which, without prejudice to the powers of the Board of Directors and under its responsibility, has as its main mission the monitoring of the deployment of the Company's CSR strategy.
During the financial year ending December 31, 2024, the CSR Committee met twice with an attendance rate of 100% and reviewed the following points:
In accordance with Recommendation No. 13 of the Middlenext Code, the members of the Board carry out an annual self‑assessment of the functioning of the Board of Directors and its Committees, and of the preparation of their work, by means of a questionnaire updated each year and sent to each of the Directors, mainly covering:
The main objectives of this self‑assessment are:
— to be able to formulate areas for improvement regarding its operation.
Based on the feedback received, the members of the Board, during the meeting of February 25, 2025, reviewed the composition of the Board of Directors and its Committees and assessed, in complete independence and with complete freedom of judgment, the efficiency of their organization and their functioning.
The result is a favorable assessment of the operating mode of the Board and Committees and the quality of the information provided before the discussions, in accordance with the spirit of the Middlenext recommendations. The Directors also make a satisfactory analysis of the environment in which they actually exercise their functions and responsibilities.
The Board of Directors, as a collegiate body, collectively represents all shareholders and imposes on each of its members the obligation to act in all circumstances in the corporate interest of the company.
The role of the Board of Directors is based on two fundamental elements, decision‑making and monitoring:
The mission of the Board of Directors is to determine the direction of the Company's business, to choose the strategy and to monitor its implementation, in accordance with its corporate interest and taking into account the social and environmental challenges of its business. It ensures that it chooses from among the possible scenarios the one that best serves the project, the sustainability of the Company and its sustainable performance.
Subject to the powers expressly granted to Shareholders' Meetings and within the limits of the corporate purpose, it deals with any matter affecting the proper running of the Company.
In this capacity, it decides in particular on all decisions relating to the major strategic, economic, social, environmental, financial or technological orientations of the Company and ensures their implementation, it studies the question of the succession plan for the "manager" and key people, it carries out the review of the vigilance points of the Middlenext Code and the controls and verifications that it deems appropriate.
It authorizes in advance certain operations referred to in paragraph 1.2.1. above.
The Internal Regulations describing all the powers and missions of the Board of Directors are available online at www.interparfums-finance.fr.
Directors receive targeted and relevant information necessary for the proper performance of their duties. Prior to each meeting of the Board of Directors, Directors receive:
Each member of the Board is authorized to meet with the Company's principal officers, provided that the Chairman is informed in advance.
The Board is regularly informed by the Chairman of the financial situation, cash flow and financial commitments of the Company and its Group.
Finally, any new member of the Board may request training on the specificities of the Company and its Group, their businesses and their sectors of activity.
In accordance with recommendation no. 4 of the Middlenext Code, outside of Board of Directors meetings and when the Company's current affairs so warrant, Directors regularly receive all important information from the Company that may have an impact on its commitments and financial situation, particularly via a dedicated portal. They may request any explanation or the production of additional information, and more generally make any request for access to information that they deem useful.
The Directors, who are members of the Audit Committee organize preparatory work for meetings of the Board of Directors and may sometimes meet to discuss questions relating to their missions and their operation.
To the knowledge of the Company and on the date of preparation of this document, over the past five years, none of the members of the Board of Directors and the General Management of the Company:
To the knowledge of the Company, and on the date of preparation of this document, no potential conflict of interest has been identified between the duties, regarding the Company, and the private interests and/or other duties of any of the members of the Board and the General Management.
In accordance with the Internal Regulations of the Board of Directors, it is recalled that in exercising the mandate entrusted to him, each Director must determine his actions in accordance with the corporate interest of the company.
Each Director has the obligation to inform the Board of Directors of any situation of conflict of interest, even potential, and must abstain from participating in the deliberations and the vote on the corresponding deliberation or not attend the meeting of the Board during which he finds himself in a conflict of interest and, if necessary, resign.
Directors are asked each year to update information relating to their current positions, Directorships, administrative and management mandates, and those held and expired over the past five years. In addition, they are asked to submit a sworn statement stating that they have no conflict of interest and no convictions.
As part of the strengthening of Recommendation No. 2 of the Middlenext Code, Directors now undertake to declare any conflicts of interest before each meeting.
To the knowledge of the Company and on the date of preparation of this document, there is no arrangement or agreement concluded with the main shareholders or with customers, suppliers or others, under which one of the members of the Board of Directors and the General Management has been selected in this capacity.
To the Company's knowledge and on the date of preparation of this document, there are no restrictions accepted by the members of the Board of Directors and the General Management concerning the transfer, within a certain period of time, of the Company's securities that they hold, with the exception of the obligation to retain 20% of the shares allocated free of charge to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Deputy Chief Executive Officers until the termination of their duties.
To the Company's knowledge, there is no benefit granted under service contracts binding one of the members of the Board of Directors and the Management bodies to the Company or one of its subsidiaries.
There are no family ties between corporate officers.
In accordance with the provisions of Articles L.22‑10‑8 and R.22‑10‑14 of the French Commercial Code, the compensation policy for corporate officers is consistent with the Company's interests, thereby contributing to its long‑term viability, and is in line with its business strategy as described in Part 1 "Consolidated management report", section 1 "The Company's business and strategy" of this Universal Registration Document.
The compensation policy for corporate officers is set by the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Governance, Nominations and Compensation Committee (GNRC), taking into account the principles and criteria defined in the Middlenext Code.
The Board of Directors ensures that these principles and criteria are also directly aligned with both the Company's strategy and shareholders' interests, in order to support the Company's performance and competitiveness. It also considers the social and environmental factors related to the Company's operations.
No compensation element, of any nature whatsoever, may be determined, granted, or paid by the Company, nor may any commitment be made by the Company, unless it complies with the approved compensation policy or, in its absence, with the existing compensation structure or practices within the Company.
The Board determines, reviews and implements the compensation policy for each corporate officer. When the Board of Directors decides on an item or commitment for the benefit of its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or a Deputy Chief Executive Officer, the persons concerned do not take part in the deliberations or vote on the item or commitment concerned.
The determination, review and implementation of the compensation policy for each corporate officer takes into account changes in employee compensation and employment conditions within the Company, notably the equity ratios presented in Section 2.2.5, ensuring coherence with the compensation of other executives and employees.
The compensation policy described below applies to the Chairman and CEO as well as any other corporate officer who may be allocated compensation in respect of their mandate. It should be noted that the CEO's compensation presented below applies both to his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors and as Chief Executive Officer.
For reference, the Executive Vice President does not receive compensation for their corporate office. The Executive Vice President is employed by the Company under a permanent employment contract, the details of which are set out in Section 2.1.3 below, and receives compensation exclusively under this employment contract.
The establishment of the CEO's compensation policy is based on the strict protection of the Company's interests, considering the following elements:
The fixed, variable, and exceptional components of the CEO's total compensation, as well as any benefits in kind that may be granted under the mandate, are detailed below.
The fixed compensation of the Chairman and CEO reflects the responsibilities associated with this type of corporate office.
It is assessed each year in relation to changes in responsibilities or events affecting the Company, the context of the business and the reference market, and must be proportionate to the Company's situation. It will be paid in monthly installments.
Fixed compensation, which is not subject to systematic annual review, is used as a reference to determine the percentage of annual variable compensation.
On the recommendation of the Governance, Nominations and Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors meeting on February 25, 2025 decided to set the fixed annual compensation of the Chairman and CEO at €528,000 starting in the 2025 fiscal year. This annual fixed compensation remains unchanged from the 2024 fiscal year.
Each year, the Board of Directors ensures that the variable portion of the Chairman and CEO's compensation, based on specific performance criteria, is sufficiently significant in relation to their fixed compensation.
This annual variable compensation is established on the basis of clear, precise, quantifiable and operational objectives and is based on the achievement of financial objectives on the one hand, and non‑financial objectives on the other. It is capped at 100% of fixed compensation if targets are achieved, with a maximum of 120% if targets are exceeded. This cap is designed to align the Company with market standards for SBF 120‑listed companies and to emphasize the significance of annual variable compensation linked to the Group's performance.
The criteria for the CEO's annual variable compensation have been reviewed and amended this year.
For the2025 fiscal year, the annual variable compensation of the Chairman and CEO will be set and calculated in accordance with the criteria set out below and detailed in the table below:
| Criteria for annual variable compensation | 2024 | 2025 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weighting | Weighting | ||
| Sales | Consolidated sales N-1 | 30% | 25% |
| Income | Consolidated operating income N-1 | 30% | 25% |
| Diversity and inclusion |
% of women on the Executive Committee |
5% | 5% |
| Social | % of employees who attended training during the year (France) |
5% | 5% |
| Governance | Balance between independent/ non‑independent members of the Board of Directors |
5% | 5% |
| Environment | Reduction of carbon intensity | NA | 10% |
| Fairness in relationships |
Quality and balance of relationships with stakeholders (brands, customers, suppliers,) |
10% | 10% |
| Operations | Management of subsidiaries (United States, Singapore) |
10% | 10% |
| Environment | New sustainable development initiatives (SBTi membership, CDP, ESG ratings) |
5% | 5% |
| 100% | 100% | ||
The aforementioned annual financial targets (consolidated sales and consolidated operating income), which account for 50% of the annual variable compensation (compared with 60% in 2024), are determined on the basis of the annual budget approved by the Board of Directors. Each financial criterion is assessed independently and carries equal weight in determining the annual variable compensation.
The non‑financial objectives, accounting for 50% of annual variable compensation (compared to 40% in 2024), whether derived from quantitative or qualitative criteria, are evaluated by the Board of Directors based on the recommendation of the Governance, Nominations and Compensation Committee (GNRC).
To this end, the Board of Directors examines these various financial and non‑financial targets, their weighting and the levels of performance expected, and sets for each target:
Annual variable compensation is calculated and determined by the Board of Directors at the end of the fiscal year to which it applies.
The expected level of achievement for the quantitative and qualitative criteria has been validated by the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Governance, Nominations and Compensation Committee (GNRC), but is not made public for reasons of confidentiality and strategic and competitive sensitivity.
In accordance with the law, the payment of annual variable compensation is subject to the approval by the Annual General Meeting of the compensation paid during the previous fiscal year or awarded in respect of the same fiscal year to the person concerned.
No multi‑year variable compensation is planned.
The Board of Directors may decide to grant exceptional compensation to the Chairman and CEO in the light of special circumstances. The amount of such exceptional compensation may not exceed 20% of the annual fixed compensation.
In accordance with the law, the payment of such exceptional compensation would, in any event, be subject to the approval by the Annual General Meeting of the compensation paid during the previous fiscal year or awarded in respect of the same fiscal year to the person concerned.
As part of the long‑term incentive policy, the Chairman and CEO may be awarded free shares subject to performance and retention conditions linked to the length of their term of office.
The Board of Directors did not consider it appropriate to submit to the next General Meeting the renewal of the authorization to be granted to the Board of Directors to award stock options, which will expire on June 28, 2025, as the Board does not intend to make any such awards. As a result, the compensation policy for the Chairman and CEO has been adjusted to remove the possibility of granting them stock options.
A new authorization to grant bonus performance shares will be submitted to the next General Meeting for a 38‑month period. This new authorization sets a sub‑limit for executive Directors of 0.10% of the share capital on the date of the grant decision. It also provides for a vesting period of at least three years, enabling the medium- to long‑term performance conditions to be assessed in accordance with the recommendations of the Middlenext Code (Recommendation No. 21).
The definitive allocation of bonus performance shares to the Chairman and CEO, which will take place at the end of the vesting period, will be subject to the Chairman and CEO still being employed by the Company on that date and to the achievement of performance criteria relating in particular to consolidated sales and consolidated operating income, assessed over a minimum period of three years.
Additionally, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is required to retain in registered form at least 20% of the bonus performance shares allocated until the end of their mandate.
The allocation of bonus performance shares constitutes a long-term compensation tool that supports the objectives of the compensation policy by aligning the interests of corporate officers with the long‑term value creation of the Company, thereby ensuring its sustainability. Executives also have a vested interest in the share price, which enables them to align their interests with those of shareholders.
The Chairman and CEO benefits from a supplementary defined contribution funded pension scheme in the form of a life annuity, as described in section 2.2.4.
The Chairman and CEO and the Executive Vice President, who also serve as Directors, do not receive compensation for their roles on the Board of Directors, as they have expressly waived it.
The Chairman and CEO benefits from the provision of a company vehicle, representing a benefit in kind.
No other benefits in kind are granted.
The compensation policy for members of the Board of Directors is based on an allocation reserved exclusively for non‑executive Directors of the Board. The other Directors who are executive Directors have expressly waived their entitlement to their compensation.
Directors receive compensation, the maximum amount of which is voted by the General Meeting and the distribution of which is decided by the Board of Directors.
Following the authorization granted by the General Meeting of April 16, 2024, the maximum annual compensation package for Directors has been increased to €450,000.
The compensation of each Director will be capped annually, irrespective of the number of Board and Committee meetings held. In addition, this total annual compensation will be linked to a linearpercentage of attendance and effective participation by Directors at meetings of the Board of Directors and/or its Committees, whether in person or by videoconference.
An additional compensation of €500 per meeting will be allocated to each Committee Chairman.
The Board of Directors proposes the following distribution arrangements as part of the compensation policy to be put to the vote at the General Meeting of April 17, 2025 (14th resolution):
No other type of compensation may be paid to non‑executive Directors.
It should be noted that the total compensation of the Chairman and CEO and the Directors complies with the compensation policy applicable to them, which was approved by the General Meeting of April 16, 2024 in its 9th and 10th resolutions. It should be noted that the compensation of the two Executive Vice President is payable exclusively under their employment contracts.
In accordance with Recommendation 14 of the Middlenext Code, the Board paid particular attention to negative votes by analyzing, among other things, how the majority of minority shareholders voted at the last General Meeting.
The Board therefore noted that the minority votes on 17 of the 20 resolutions proposed to the General Meeting of April 16, 2024 were in line with the resolutions it was proposing.
However, the 3 resolutions on which the majority of minority shareholders voted against relate to the compensation of corporate officers:
Taking these negative votes into account, the Board of Directors has detailed the compensation policies for the Chairman and CEO and the Directors in sections 2.1.1. and 2.1.2. in the hope of providing greater transparency and understanding for its shareholders.

(2) Free share allocations to shareholders as part of annual capital increases through the capitalization of reserves. This calculation is based on the following formula: amount distributed/number of shares outstanding after capital increase following the bonus share issue.
The General Meeting, on the recommendation of the Board of Directors, resolves to allocate the net profit for the year ended December 31, 2024 as follows:
| Origin Profit for the year |
€132,856,147.30 |
|---|---|
| Allocation | |
| Legal reserve | €2,075,897.10 |
| Dividends | €87,533,661.05 |
| Retained earnings | €43,246,589.15 |
The General Meeting notes that the gross dividend per share is set at €1.15 and that the retained earnings balance will increase from €225,393,657.07 to €268,640,246.22.
For individual shareholders fiscally domiciled in France, the dividend is subject either to: a flat‑rate withholding tax on the gross dividend at a fixed rate of 12.8% (Article 200 A of the French Tax Code), or, upon express, irrevocable and global election by the taxpayer, progressive income tax, after a 40% allowance (Articles 200 A (13) and 158 of the French Tax Code). Additionally, the dividend is subject to social security contributions at a rate of 17.2%.
The ex‑dividend date is set for April 28, 2025, and the dividend payment date is set for April 30, 2025.
Should the number of shares entitled to a dividend differ from the 76,116,227 shares comprising the share capital as of December 31, 2024, the total dividend amount will be adjusted accordingly, and the amount allocated to retained earnings will be determined based on the actual dividends paid.
In accordance with Article 243 bis of the French Tax Code, the General Meeting acknowledges that, for the past three fiscal years, the distributions of dividends and income have been as follows:
| Eligible income for tax reduction | |||

Statutory Auditors' special report on regulated agreements – Ratification of a new agreement
As a preliminary note, we remind you that only new agreements entered into during the last fiscal year and at the beginning of the current fiscal year are subject to approval by this General Meeting.
We ask you to ratify the agreement entered into on December 12, 2024, formalized by a conciliation report signed with Frédéric Garcia-Pélayo, for a lump‑sum settlement amount of €1,581,900 in connection with the termination of his employment contract.
This agreement was ratified by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on February 25, 2025, in accordance with Recommendation 2012-05 of the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) (Section 4.11), which concluded that, given the financial terms, the agreement was in the best interests of the Company, taking into account the employee's length of service and the reference to a scale set by decree in such cases. It is further noted that, in accordance with Article L.1235‑1 of the French Labor Code, the conciliation report recording this agreement constitutes a waiver by both parties of all claims and compensation related to the termination of Frédéric Garcia-Pélayo's employment contract.
It is also presented in the related Statutory Auditors' special report, which will be presented to you at the General Meeting and which is included in Part 9 of the 2024 Universal Registration Document. Information on this agreement has been published on the Company's website in accordance with regulations.
We also remind you that the subscription agreement between (FCPI) ATEKO Capital (Label Capital) and our Company was executed on July 5, 2024, thus constituting a regulated agreement for part of the 2024 financial year, but had already been approved by the Annual General Meeting of April 16, 2024. It is therefore not subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting of April 17, 2025 in accordance with the law.
It should be noted that no agreements entered into and authorized in previous years were performed during the current fiscal year.
Statutory Auditors' special report on regulated agreements – Ratification of a new agreement
The General Meeting, having reviewed the Statutory Auditors' special report on regulated agreements, ratifies the new agreement mentioned therein.
You are reminded that the appointments of SFECO & FIDUCIA AUDIT and FORVIS MAZARS SA as Statutory Auditors responsible for certifying the financial statements will expire at the end of the next General Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
On the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors proposes that FORVIS MAZARS SA be re‑appointed as Statutory Auditors for a period of six financial years.
Since FORVIS MAZARS SA cannot serve as a Statutory Auditor for more than 24 years in accordance with Article L.821‑45 of the French Commercial Code, we ask you to note that the mandate of FORVIS MAZARS SA as principle Statutory Auditor will expire at the end of the Annual General Meeting to be held in 2028 to approve the accounts for the year ending December 31, 2027.
Furthermore, in light of the 24‑year term limit for Statutory Auditors responsible for legal audit engagements, and in accordance with Article L.821‑45 of the French Commercial Code and Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of April 16, 2014, the mandate of SFECO & FIDUCIA AUDIT could not be renewed due to the duration of its service.
As a result, a competitive tender process was launched, following which the Audit Committee selected GRANT THORNTON, citing both the need for robust financial audit oversight by an international audit firm and the firm's demonstrated expertise in financial matters.
On the Audit Committee's recommendation, the Board of Directors therefore proposes appointing GRANT THORNTON as principal Statutory Auditor, replacing SFECO & FIDUCIA AUDIT, for a term of six fiscal years, until the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting to be held in 2031, which will approve the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2030.
The Audit Committee confirms that its recommendation was made independently, without any influence from third parties, and that no contractual clause restricted its choice.
On the proposal of the Board of Directors, the General Meeting reappoints FORVIS MAZARS SA, whose term of office expires at the close of this General Meeting, as principal Statutory Auditors responsible for certifying the financial statements, for a term of six financial years, expiring at the close of the Annual General Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2030.
As FORVIS MAZARS SA has indicated in advance its willingness to renew its term, and has informed the Company that its mandate cannot continue through to the end of the full term due to the provisions of Article L.821‑45 of the French Commercial Code, which limits the maximum duration of the statutory auditor's mandate for public interest entities to 24 years, the General Meeting acknowledges that the term of office of FORVIS MAZARS SA as principal Statutory Auditor will expire at the close of the Annual General Meeting to be held in 2028, which will approve the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2027.
On the proposal of the Board of Directors, the General Meeting appoints GRANT THORNTON to replace SFECO & FIDUCIA AUDIT, whose term of office expires at the close of this General Meeting, as principal Statutory Auditors responsible for certifying the financial statements, for a term of six financial years, until the close of the Annual General Meeting to be held in 2031 to approve the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2030.

We remind you that, pursuant to Article 33 of Ordinance No. 2023‑1142 of December 6, 2023, companies that qualify as large undertakings, or as parent or combining entities of a large group, within the meaning of Articles L.230‑1, L.230‑2, D.230‑1, and D.230‑2 of the French Commercial Code, will be required – starting with reports relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025 – to disclose sustainability‑related information and to have this information certified in accordance with the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive).
To carry out this task of certifying sustainability‑related information, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors propose to this General Meeting the appointment of FORVIS MAZARS SA, the current statutory auditor, and GRANT THORNTON, whose appointment as statutory auditor responsible for certifying the financial statements is also being proposed at this General Meeting, for a term of three fiscal years, i.e. until the close of the Annual General Meeting to be held in 2028 to approve the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2027.
In accordance with the recommendations of the Middlenext Corporate Governance Code, a competitive tender process was conducted for the selection of these auditors.
On the proposal of the Board of Directors, the General Meeting appoints FORVIS MAZARS SA as Statutory Auditors responsible for certifying sustainability‑related information, for a term of three fiscal years, until the end of the Annual General Meeting to be held in 2028 to approve the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2027.
On the proposal of the Board of Directors, the General Meeting appoints GRANT THORNTON as Statutory Auditor responsible for certifying sustainability‑related information, for a term of three fiscal years, until the end of the Annual General Meeting to be held in 2028 to approve the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2027.
We remind you that the terms of office of Dominique Cyrot and Chantal Roos as members of the Board of Directors will expire at the close of the upcoming General Meeting.
On the recommendation of the Governance, Nominations and Compensation Committee, we ask you to note that the terms of office of Dominique Cyrot and Chantal Roos will expire at the close of the upcoming General Meeting, as they have not asked for their terms of office to be renewed and the Board of Directors has not proposed that they be replaced.
We also inform you that at its meeting on November 26, 2024, the Board of Directors acknowledged the resignation of Frédéric Garcia-Pélayo from his position as Board Member, effective at the close of the General Meeting on April 17, 2025, two years before the scheduled end of his term, for personal reasons.
Further details are available in Part 4 of the 2024 Universal Registration Document on Corporate Governance, section 1.3.5.
At the close of this General Meeting:
The General Meeting, having noted that the term of office as Director of Dominique Cyrot expires at the close of this Meeting, resolves not to renew or replace her.
The General Meeting, having noted that the term of office as Director of Chantal Roos expires at the close of this Meeting, resolves not to renew or replace her.

Proposal to renew the authorization to implement the share buyback program
You are invited to approve the renewal of the authorization granted to the Board of Directors, for a period of 18 months, to purchase shares of the Company, in one or more transactions and at times of its choosing, up to a maximum number of shares representing no more than 2.5% of the total number of shares comprising the Company's share capital as of the date of this General Meeting, adjusted as necessary to account for any capital increases or reductions that may occur during the term of the program.
This authorization would supersede the authorization granted by the General Meeting of April 16, 2024, under its 11th ordinary resolution.
The main features of this proposed resolution are as follows:
The objectives, conditions under which shares may be acquired, and the detailed terms of the authorization are set out in the full text of the 15th resolution below.
The General Meeting, having reviewed the report of the Board of Directors, authorizes the Board, for a period of eighteen (18) months, in accordance with Articles L.22‑10‑62 et seq. and L.225‑210 et seq. of the French Commercial Code, to purchase shares of the Company, in one or more transactions and at times of its choosing, up to a maximum number of shares representing no more than 2.5% of the total number of shares comprising the Company's share capital as of the date of this General Meeting, adjusted as necessary to account for any capital increases or reductions that may occur during the term of the program.
This authorization supersedes the authorization granted to the Board of Directors by the General Meeting of April 16, 2024, under its 11th ordinary resolution.
The repurchases may be carried out for the following purposes:
These share buybacks may be carried out by any means, including block trades, and at times determined by the Board of Directors, provided that, unless prior authorization is granted by the General Meeting, the Board may not use this authorization during a public tender offer period initiated by a third party for the Company's shares, until the end of the offer period.
The Company does not intend to use options or derivatives.
The maximum purchase price is set at €80 per share. In the event of a capital operation, particularly a stock split, reverse stock split or the free allocation of shares to shareholders, the aforementioned amount will be adjusted in the same proportions (a multiplier coefficient equal to the ratio between the number of shares composing the capital before the operation and the number of shares after the operation).
The maximum amount of the operation is set at €152,232,400.
The General Meeting grants full authority to the Board of Directors to carry out these operations, determine their conditions and procedures, enter into all agreements, and complete all necessary formalities.
The Board of Directors wishes to maintain the necessary delegations to carry out, if deemed appropriate, any share issuances that may be required to support the Company's business development.
For this reason, you are invited to renew the financial delegations and authorizations that are due to expire. An overview of the current delegations in force, including the table summarizing delegations and authorizations granted by previous General Meetings and their status of use, is available in the Corporate Governance Report, Part 4 of the 2024 Universal Registration Document, under section 3.2.
The current delegation of this type expires this year and has already been used twice, for a total amount of €39,630,762, to carry out free share allocations to shareholders.
You are therefore asked to grant the Board of Directors, for a new 26‑month period, the authority to decide, on one or more occasions, and at times and under conditions of its choosing, to increase the share capital by capitalizing reserves, retained earnings, premiums or other amounts eligible for capitalization, through the issuance and allocation of free shares, or by increasing the par value of existing ordinary shares, or through a combination of both methods.
The nominal amount of share capital increases resulting from this delegation may not exceed €75,000,000 (representing approximately 32.84% of the Company's share capital as of the date of this report). This amount would exclude any nominal increase required to preserve, in accordance with the law and, where applicable, any contractual provisions providing for other preservation methods, the rights of holders of securities or instruments granting access to the Company's share capital.
This cap would be independent of all the caps set by other resolutions of this General Meeting.
The Board of Directors would be granted full powers to implement this delegation, and, more generally, to take all necessary measures and complete all required formalities for the successful completion of each capital increase, to record its completion and to amend the Company's Articles of Association accordingly.
This delegation would supersede, as of the date of this General Meeting and, where applicable, to the extent not yet used, any prior delegation granted for the same purpose.
You are also invited to renew the authorization to grant free shares to employees of the Company and its affiliated companies or economic interest groupings, and/or to certain corporate officers.
Accordingly, we propose to authorize the Board of Directors, for a period of 38 months, to proceed, on one or more occasions, in accordance with Articles L.225‑197‑1, L.225‑197‑2, L.22‑10‑59, and L.22‑10‑60 of the French Commercial Code, with the allocation of free shares, resulting from a capital increase by capitalization of reserves, premiums or profits, or existing shares.
The beneficiaries of these allocations may include:
The total number of shares granted free of charge under this authorization may not exceed 0.5% of the Company's share capital as of the date of the award decision. It is further specified that, for corporate officers, the number of shares granted will be limited to 0.10% of the share capital on the same date.
This limit will be increased, if necessary, by the nominal amount of any capital increase required to preserve the rights of the beneficiaries of free share allocations in the event of capital transactions carried out by the Company during the vesting period.
The allotment of shares to beneficiaries will become final at the end of a vesting period, the duration of which shall be set by the Board of Directors, but which may not be less than three years. The General Meeting authorizes the Board of Directors to determine whether or not a retention obligation will apply at the end of the vesting period.
As an exception, the final allotment of shares shall occur before the end of the vesting period in the event of the beneficiary's disability, corresponding to classification in the second or third categories defined in Article L.341‑4 of the French Social Security Code.
This authorization would automatically entail the waiver of your pre‑emptive right to subscribe for new shares issued by capitalization of reserves, premiums and profits.
The Board of Directors would therefore have full powers to do whatever is necessary to implement this authorization, in accordance with current legislation.
This authorization would supersede, as of the date of this General Meeting and, where applicable, to the extent not yet used, any prior authorization granted for the same purpose.
The General Meeting, ruling under the quorum and majority conditions required for Ordinary General Meetings, having reviewed the report of the Board of Directors, and in accordance with the provisions of Articles L.225‑129‑2, L.225‑130, and L.22‑10‑50 of the French Commercial Code:
This cap is independent of all the caps set by other resolutions of this General Meeting.
The General Meeting, having reviewed the Board of Directors' report and the Statutory Auditors' special report, authorizes the Board of Directors, on one or more occasions, in accordance with Articles L.225‑197‑1, L.225‑197‑2, L.22‑10‑59 and L.22‑10‑60 of the French Commercial Code, to allot existing or newly issued ordinary shares in the Company to:
The total number of free shares allotted under this authorization may not exceed 0.5% of the share capital on the date of the allotment decision. It is specified that for executive Directors, this number shall be limited to 0.10% of the share capital on the date of the allotment decision. This limit will be increased, if necessary, by the nominal amount of any capital increase required to preserve the rights of the beneficiaries of free share allocations in the event of capital transactions carried out by the Company during the vesting period.
The allocation of shares to beneficiaries will become final at the end of a vesting period, the duration of which shall be set by the Board of Directors, but which may not be less than three years.
The General Meeting authorizes the Board of Directors to determine whether or not a retention obligation will apply at the end of the vesting period.
As an exception, the final allocation of shares shall occur before the end of the vesting period in the event of the beneficiary's disability, corresponding to classification in the second or third categories defined in Article L.341‑4 of the French Social Security Code.
Full powers are granted to the Board of Directors to:
This authorization entails an automatic waiver by shareholders of their pre‑emptive subscription rights to the newly issued shares resulting from the incorporation of reserves, premiums, and profits.
It is granted for a period of thirty‑eight months from the date of this General Meeting.
This authorization supersedes, as of today and to the extent of any unused portion, any prior authorization with the same purpose.

We propose the following amendments to the Articles of Association:
Law No. 2024‑537 of June 13, 2024, known as the "Attractiveness Law" has revised the rules governing remote participation of Directors in Board meetings, as set out in Article L.22‑10‑3-1 of the French Commercial Code, now referring exclusively to the use of telecommunication means. This law also abolished the requirement to include such provisions in the Board's internal rules, and removed the prohibition on using such means for the approval or review of the annual financial statements and the management report.
We propose that Article 14 of the Articles of Association be amended accordingly.
Amendment of the last sentence of Article 14 of the Company's Articles of Association regarding the written consultation of Board members,
The Attractiveness Law has expanded the scope of written consultation, as provided for in Article L.225‑37 of the French Commercial Code, which now states that the Articles of Association may provide that Board decisions, or certain decisions, may be taken by written consultation, subject to the inclusion of a right of objection.
We therefore propose to amend the final sentence of Article 14 of the Articles of Association to specify the conditions under which written consultation may be used by the Board of Directors, and to establish a right of objection for each Director, in accordance with the new applicable legal provisions.
Amendment of the 3rd paragraph of the "Access to General Meetings – Representation" section of Article 19 of the Articles of Association regarding the use of telecommunication means for shareholder meetings
We propose to amend the 3rd paragraph of the "Access to General Meetings – Representation" section of Article 19 of the Articles of Association, in order to bring the terminology into line with the provisions of Article L.225‑103‑1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended by Law No. 2024‑537 of June 13, 2024, regarding the use of telecommunication means in shareholder meetings.
The General Meeting, having reviewed the report of the Board of Directors, resolves:
The internal regulations may provide that Directors participating in Board meetings via videoconference or telecommunication means shall be deemed present for the calculation of the quorum and the majority, in accordance with legal and regulatory provisions.
This provision does not apply to decisions concerning the approval of the annual and consolidated financial statements, the preparation of the Company's and/or Group's management report.
Directors participating in Board meetings via telecommunication means shall be deemed present for the calculation of the quorum and the majority, in accordance with legal and regulatory provisions.
The internal regulations may specify that certain decisions cannot be made during meetings held in such conditions.
The General Meeting, having reviewed the report of the Board of Directors, resolves:
The Board of Directors may also make decisions through written consultation of the Directors, in accordance with legal provisions.
At the initiative of the Chairman of the Board, the Board of Directors may also make decisions through written consultation of its members. In this case, the Directors are required, at the request of the Chairman, to express their vote by any written means, including electronically, on the proposed decisions within three business days following their receipt. Any Director has two business days from the sending of the request to object to the use of written consultation. In the event of an objection, the Chairman shall immediately inform the other Directors and convene a Board meeting. Directors who fail to respond within the given time and in accordance with the specified process shall be deemed absent and not to have participated in the decision. A decision may only be adopted if at least half of the Directors have participated in the written consultation and if it is approved by a majority of those participating.
The Chairman of the Board shall be deemed to preside over the written consultation and shall have a casting vote in the event of a tie. The internal regulations shall specify any other procedures relating to written consultation that are not defined by applicable legal or regulatory provisions or these Articles of Association.
The General Meeting, having reviewed the report of the Board of Directors, resolves:
Any shareholder may also, if the Board of Directors so decides at the time of convening the General Meeting, participate in said meeting by videoconference or any other telecommunication and remote transmission means, including the Internet, in accordance with the applicable regulations at the time of its use. If applicable, this decision shall be communicated in the meeting notice published in the Bulletin des Annonces Légales Obligatoires (B.A.L.O.).
Any shareholder may also, if the Board of Directors so decides at the time of convening the General Meeting, participate in said meeting by a means of telecommunication, in accordance with the applicable regulations at the time of its use. If applicable, this decision shall be communicated in the meeting notice.
The Board of Directors invites you to vote in favor of the proposed resolutions.

The 21st resolution is a standard resolution enabling all the legal formalities required by law to be carried out after the General Meeting.
The General Meeting confers all necessary powers to the bearer of an original, copy, or extract of these minutes to carry out all filing and publication formalities required by law.
