1. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The economic environment in the 2009 first half was particularly challenging (worldwide downturn in consumption and significant reductions by distributors of inventories) with revenue down 10% to 20% for certain players or divisions of large groups. On this basis, Inter Parfums registered a modest decline of 5% in relation to the same period last year with consolidated sales of €121.3 million. This result reflected: - a satisfactory commercial performance (with growth

in sales in the 2009 second quarter); - a favorable currency effect (amplified by the positive impact of exchange rate hedges implemented in late 2008).

1.1

Highlights by brand

Burberry 87.7 77.8
Lanvin 15.2 19.0
Van Cleef & Arpels 9.0 9.4

Quiksilver/Roxy 4.3 2.2
Nickel 1.5 1.1
Other 0.9 1.2
Total 128.3 121.3

Despite an unfavorable comparison base (19% growth in the 2008 first half from the launch of the women's fragrance line Burberry The Beat), Burberry fragrances had sales approaching €78 million, fueled by performances of the Burberry Brit and Burberry The Beat lines.

Lanvin fragrances delivered excellent results with sales of €19 million (+25%) on growth by the Éclat d'Arpège line (+8%), initial order renewals of Jeanne Lanvin launched in fall 2008 and the positive response to the Lanvin L'Homme Sport line in spring 2009.

The success of the Féerie line, offsetting weaker sales of the First lines, contributed to gains by Van Cleef & Arpels fragrances (+4%).

A significant decline by Paul Smith fragrances in Asia masked good performances at points of sale for UK retailers.

1.2 Highlights by region

Certain markets remain adversely impacted by local economic conditions (notably the United States, United Kingdom, Spain, Brazil, Argentina) while others maintained satisfactory performances for sales (notably France, China, Saudi Arabia) or improved in relation to the start of the year (Russia).

First half sales benefited from several factors: - good performances in Asia and Western Europe on continued growth by Lanvin fragrances;

  • sustained growth in France (+12%) in a declining market;

  • strong gains in the Middle East (+28%) on robust performances by Lanvin and S.T. Dupont fragrances.

% of sales 8.7% 9.5%

In line with its medium-term development strategy based on marketing and advertising expenditures targeted by brand and country, the Group pursued investments consistent with the level of activity while maintaining tight control over expenses. On this basis, the operating margin was successfully maintained at a high level (12.4%).

Benefiting from a very positive impact of exchange rate hedges implemented in fall 2008, the first half had net income of €11.5 million, expanding 3% over the same period in 2008 accompanied by an improvement in the net margin from 8.7% to 9.5%.

(1) Restated to eliminate the impact of application of the amendment IAS 38 "intangible assets". See note 1.3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Whereas reduced payment delays imposed by French legislative reforms (Loi de Modernisation de l'Économie or LME), have adversely affected trade payables, voluntary reductions in inventory levels expected to continue in the second half, and trade receivables have limited the decline in working capital requirements customary in this period of the year.

The Group's financial position however remains excellent with limited debt (excluding cash and cash equivalents) of €2.5 million, representing a marginal decline from December 31, 2008 and shareholders' equity of approximately €160 million at June 30, 2009.

3. HALF YEAR MILESTONES

Despite the drop in worldwide demand and a widespread trend of reducing inventories by retailers, the Company pursued its strategy focusing on ongoing innovation exemplified by the launch of new fragrance lines (notably Burberry The Beat for men and Lanvin L'Homme Sport) and preparations for the launch scheduled for spring 2010 of a make-up line under the Burberry brand.

To thank shareholders for their confidence and improve the liquidity of the share, the Company proceeded with a bonus share issue on the basis of one new share for every five shares held in June.

RISK FACTORS AND INFORMATION ON RELATED PARTIES

4.1

Risk factors

Information on market risks and their management is presented in note 2.14 of the consolidated interim financial statements included in this report.

Other risk factors are of the same nature as those presented in section 3 "Risk factors" of the 2008 consolidated management report included in the registration document filed on April 1st, 2009 with the French financial market authorities (Autorité des Marchés Financiers or AMF). There has been no significant changes in these risk factors in the 2009 first half.

4.2 Related party transactions

In the 2009 first half, relations between Inter Parfums and affiliated companies have remained comparable to those of fiscal year 2008 presented in Note 6.6 "Information on related parties" of the 2008 consolidated financial statements included in the registration document filed on April 1st, 2009 with the AMF.

This is also the case for relation between members of the Management Committee and the Board of Directors.

5. OUTLOOK

In an uncertain environment and the mixed nature of information received from different markets reduces visibility for sales. Under these conditions, the company anticipates a marginal decline in 2009 full-year sales in relation to the prior year.

Renewed growth in sales is anticipated in 2010 based on a sustained program of launches including notably: - Burberry Sport fragrance lines for men and women;

  • a make-up line under the Burberry brand;
  • women's and men's fragrance lines under the
  • Van Cleef & Arpels brand;
  • a fragrance line for women under the Lanvin brand.

The Group remains confident that the quality of its portfolio of premium brands, positive momentum provided by its resources and its solid financial structure will enable it to successfully navigate ithis period of challenging market conditions.

6. POST-CLOSING EVENTS

On September 1st, 2009, in light of its commercial development that has failed to meet expectations, Quiksilver and Inter Parfums decided by mutual agreement to terminate their collaboration on June 30, 2010 before the expiration date of this agreement. This measure will have no financial impact on either of the parties.

1. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

1.1 Statement of compliance

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of June 30, 2009 were approved by the Board of Directors on September 3, 2009. They have been prepared in compliance with EC regulations 1606/2002 of 19 July 2002 on international accounting standards and notably IAS 34 on interim financial reporting as endorsed by the European Union. In particular, the consolidated financial statements for the period ending 30 June 2008 and 31 December 2008 were restated to eliminate the effects of the amendment to IAS 38 "Intangible assets" concerning the recognition of our advertising and promotional expenses, applied retroactively as of January 1st, 2008. These standards have been consistently applied over the periods presented herein and the interim financial statements were prepared on the basis of these same rules and methods used to produce the annual financial statements.

This condensed interim financial report must be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. In addition, the comparability of interim and annual financial statements may be affected by seasonal trends of the Group business and notably the impact of launch phases of new fragrance lines.

Financial information presented herein has been based on:

  • IFRS standards and interpretations whose application was mandatory starting in 2005; - options retained and exemptions used by the Group for the preparation if IFRS consolidated financial statements.

1.2 Changes in accounting standards

The following standards, amendments and interpretations have been applied by the company in advance as of January 1st, 2008 : - amendment to IFRS 7 (entered into force on January 1st, 2009) and IAS 39 "Reclassification of financial assets" (entered into force on July 1st, 2008).

  • amendment to IFRS 1 "First-time adoption of IFRS - revision of the structure of the standard", - amendment to IFRS 2 "Vesting conditions and cancellations".

The following standards, amendments and interpretations will be applied in the consolidated financial statements starting July 1st, 2009: - IFRS 3 and IAS 27 revised "Business combinations",

  • amendment to IAS 39 "Financial instruments: recognition and measurement - eligible hedged items".

The impact of these standards on financial statements that is currently being assessed is not expected to have a material effect on the company's consolidated financial statements.

Because of the company's business, the following standards, amendments and interpretations will not be applied to the consolidated financial statements: - amendments IAS 32 and IAS 1 "Puttable instruments",

  • IFRIC 9 and IAS 39 "Embedded derivatives",

  • IFRIC 12 "Service concessions",

  • IFRIC 13 "Customer loyalty programs"

  • IFRIC 14 and IAS 19 "The limit on a defined

benefit asset, minimum funding requirements and their interaction",

  • IFRIC 15 "Agreements for the construction of real estate",

  • IFRIC 16 "Hedges of a net investment",

  • IFRIC 17 "Distribution of non-cash assets to owners",

  • IFRIC 18 "Transfers of assets from customers".

At June 30, 2009, the potential number of Inter Parfums S.A. shares that may be created is 596,689.

In addition, all employees of the Group benefited in February 2008 from a stock option plan created by the parent company Inter Parfums Inc. This plan was recognized in accordance with IFRIC 11 and will be charged to Inter Parfums S.A. by the parent company.

Benefits granted to employees in the form of stock options recognized as additional compensation, in accordance with IFRS 2, were calculated using the Black & Scholes model. The impact of this calculation, including the US plan, represents an expense that is recognized over the duration of the vesting period. This expense amounted to €234,000 for the first semester of 2009 and €274,000 for the first semester of 2008.

The estimation of the fair value of each stock option based on the Black & Scholes, model is calculated on the grant date on the basis of the following assumptions:

2.8.5 Information on equity

The company is not subject to specific regulatory or contractual obligations in respect to capital stock.

In compliance with the provisions of article L.225-123 of the French Commercial Code, the shareholders' meeting of September 29, 1995 decided to create shares carrying a double voting right. These shares must be fully paid up and recorded in the company's share register in registered form for at least three years.

Since 1998, the company has adopted a policy of distributing dividends that today represents approximately 25% of consolidated earnings, destined to reward shareholders while at the same time associating them with the Group's expansion. In early May 2009, a dividend of €0.38 per share was paid or a €5.1 million.

In respect to financing, given the Group's significant shareholders equity and low gearing, financing for significant operations required by the Group was obtained from banks in the form of medium-term loans.

In addition to the company's commitment with lending institutions to comply with contractual covenants, the level of consolidated shareholders' equity is regularly monitored to ensure the company continues to have sufficient financial flexibility to take advantage of all potential opportunities for external growth.

  • voluntary termination at age 65;

  • a rate of 45% for employer payroll contributions for all employees;

  • a 5% average annual salary increase;

  • an annual rate of turnover of 5% for all employees under 55 years of age and nil above;

  • the TH 00-02 mortality table for men and the TF 00-02 mortality table for women;

  • a discount rate corresponding to the zero-coupon yield curve at June 30, 2009.

2.10.3 Additional disclosures

The floating-rate portion of the Lanvin debt contracted in June 2004 was covered by a swap. This swap at 12-month Euribor at year-end included a floor of 2.10% and a cap of 3.85%. At June 30, 2009, this loan was fully reimbursed and the corresponding swap position was closed out.

The floating-rate portion of the Lanvin debt contracted in September 2007 was also covered by a swap against a fixed rate of 4.42%. At June 30, 2009 on the basis of a notional amount of €14.3 million, a loss of €81,000 in connection with this swap was recognized in the income statement and for which the Group did not apply hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39. The market value of the swap at June 30, 2009 represented a negative amount for the company of €661,000.

2.10.4 Covenants

The loans obtained by the parent company are subject to the following covenant ratios:

  • net debt to net equity;
  • net debt to operating cash flow.

These ratios are calculated by the company every year.

In 2008, these covenants were fully met. The current level of these ratios is considerably below the contractual limits. As a result, the Group has considerable financial flexibility in respect to these commitments.

The fair value of all current assets and liabilities (trade receivables, payables, short-term loans and debt, cash at bank overdrafts), because of their short-term maturities, is considered identical to the carrying value. The fair value of non-current debt is determined by estimating future cash flows, loan by loan, that are updated at year-end on the basis of actual market rates at year-end for similar types of borrowing, as presented in the table above.

2.14

Risk management

The primary risks related to the Group's business and organization concerning interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks remain marginal. The potential impacts of other risks on the company's financials are not material.

2.14.1|Interest rate risks

The Group's exposure to interest rate is primarily from debt. The objective of the Group's policy is to ensure a stable level of financial expense through the use of hedges in the form of interest rate swaps and the use of floor and caps.

These financial instruments are not eligible for hedge accounting under IAS 39. The Group nevertheless considers that these transactions are not speculative in nature and are necessary to effectively manage its interest rate exposure.

In addition, because a significant portion of the Group's sales are in foreign currencies it incurs a risk from exchange rate fluctuations, primarily from the US dollar (34.5% of sales) and to a lesser extent the pound sterling (6.5% of sales) and the Japanese yen (3.8% of sales).

The Group's exchange rate risk management policy seeks to cover budget exposures considered highly probable related to monetary flows resulting from US dollar sales, as well as trade receivables in the period in US dollars, pound sterling and Japanese yens.

To this purpose, the Group has recourse to forward exchange sales, according to procedures that prohibit speculative trading:

  • all forward currency hedging must be backed in terms of amount at maturity by an identified economic underlying asset,

  • every identified budget exposure hedged for 80%.

At December 31, 2008, the Group had fully hedged its positions in US dollars, pound sterling and Japanese yen for trade receivables recorded.

The 2009 sales budget was hedged for 80%, with additional forward currency sales planned for midyear.

The nominal amounts of hedges open, based on trade receivables measured at year-end are as follows:

In €
thousands
2008 2009
Forward sales of US dollars 26,026 31,204
Forward sales of pound sterling 5,010 3,271
Forward sales of Japanese yen 745 566
Difference in market and carrying value - -

The amount of hedges to cover 2009 sales and maintain the level of the gross margin amounts to USD 74 million. The impact of the revaluation of this portfolio at June 30, 2009 was €6,000,000 on shareholders' equity, €2,000,000 on sales and €1,000,000 on the financial expense. These hedges were obtained at an average rate for the US dollar of 1.264.

As a result of these hedges, sensitivity to foreign exchange risk has been reduced to a non-material level.
