2012 nine-month sales: €328m +20% at current exchange rates
+15% at constant exchange rates
In the 2012 third quarter, Interparfums achieved further growth in sales from a comparison base that was already very high for fall 2011, bolstered by the launch of the Burberry Body line. Sales for the quarter thus reached nearly €119 million, up 8.6% at current exchange rates from last year's same period. Continuing strength of sales for Montblanc (+68%), Jimmy Choo (+45%) and Boucheron (+57%) fragrances in particular drove growth of more than 25% for the quarter for all brands combined excluding Burberry.
Consolidated sales for the first nine months of 2012 rose to €327.8 million, up 20.3% at current exchange rates and 15.0% at constant exchangerates year-on-year.
