MANAGEMENT REPORT

1. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated sales for the 2014 second quarter reached €69.1 million, up like-for-like 27% at current exchange rates and 29% at constant exchange rates from the same period in 2013. This performance was attributable in particular to the continuing success of the men's line, Montblanc Legend, the launch of the Montblanc Emblem and Karl Lagerfeld lines and steady sales by Lanvin fragrances.

For the full first half, consolidated sales reached nearly €144 million on like-for-like growth of 21% at current exchange rates and 23% at constant exchange from one year earlier.

(1) Excluding Burberry fragrances and Nickel skincare lines.

Montblanc fragrances continued to grow at a fast pace, driven by the continuing success of the top-selling men's line, Legend (+27%), launched in 2011, further boosted by the spring launch of the second men's line Emblem (€9 million on a sellin basis). Sales for the first half thus exceeded €43 million, up 54% from the prior year.

Though adversely impacted by the unfavorable comparison base from the launch of the Lanvin Me line in early 2013 and the general downturn in the Russian market at the start of the year, sales for Lanvin fragrances were back up in the spring, exceeding €30 million for the period, driven in large part by the Éclat d'Arpège line.

Jimmy Choo fragrance sales reached €21.3 million though down as expected from the prior year, reflecting the strong 2013 first quarter launch of the Flash line. Based on higher than expected order intake for Jimmy Choo Man the new line launched in the fall, more robust sales may be foreseen for the second part of the year.

Karl Lagerfeld fragrances had sales of €12.7 million from initial shipments to distributors in mid-March of the first fragrance duo launched by the Group which met with a positive response in Europe.

With sustained demand for the Eau de Toilette, Repetto, the brand is moving ahead with its gradual rollout in France, and should benefit from the Eau de Parfum launch in progress.

1.2. Highlights by region

Significant gains were registered in North America, South America, Western Europe and the Middle East, of between 25% and 50% like-for-like, bolstered by the strength of Montblanc fragrances and the rollout of Karl Lagerfeld fragrances.

In an Asian market less buoyant than in the prior year, the trend of the first three months was confirmed in the second quarter with average growth for the period of 8%.

Following a substantial drop in the first quarter, mainly due to the Russian market's downturn, sales in Eastern Europe picked up in the second quarter, resulting in a marginal decline for the period (-7%).

France maintained its positive sales momentum with growth of 18%, driven by the good performances of Repetto and Montblanc fragrances.

2. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

In € millions H1 2013 H1 2014
Sales 218.5 143.9
Gross margin 133.1 83.5

Operating profit 54.7 19.9
% of sales 25.0% 13.8%
Net income 35.3 13.8
% of sales 16.2% 9.6%

Data is not comparable for the period presented due to the exit from the Burberry license agreement.

Results for the 2014 first half are not easily comparable to those of the 2013 first half due to the Burberry license agreement exit effective as from March 31, 2013.

It is nevertheless possible to compare the gross margin as a percentage of sales (58%) for the 2014 first half with the 2013 second half (57.6%) and also the operating margin (13.8%) and the net margin (9.6%) which were in line with performances of prior years.

4. RISK FACTORS AND RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES

4.1. Risk Factors

Information on market risks and their management are 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 note 3 "Risk Factors" of the "Consolidated Management Report" (section 1) included in the registration document filed on April 1, 2014 with the French financial market authorities (Autorité des Marchés Financiers or AMF). There were no material changes in these Risk Factors in the 2014 first half.

4.2. Related party transactions

In the 2014 first half, relations between Interparfums and affiliated companies remained comparable with those of fiscal year 2013 presented in Note 6.6 "Information on related parties" of the 2013 consolidated financial statements (section 3) included in the registration document filed on April 1, 2014 with the AMF.

This was also the case for relations between members of the Management Committee and the Board of Directors.

5. OUTLOOK

Performances in the 2014 first half were bolstered by continuing gains from Montblanc fragrances, steady sales by Lanvin and Jimmy Choo fragrances and the launch of the first Karl Lagerfeld fragrance lines. And while second half sales may be expected to be impacted by uncertain economic and foreign exchange trends, Interparfums confirms its full-year target for revenue of €280 million for 2014.

The first half's strong results the will make it possible to step up marketing and advertising efforts in the second half of the year. On that basis, profit levels are expected to remain high for 2014 with an operating margin target of 10% to 11%.

None.

1. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

1.1. Basis of presentation and compliance statement

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ending June 30, 2014 were adopted by the Board of Directors on September 4, 2014. They have been prepared in compliance with EC regulations 1606 / 2002 of July 19, 2002 on international accounting standards and notably IAS 34 on interim financial reporting as endorsed by the European Union. These standards have been consistently applied over the periods presented. The interim financial statements were prepared on the basis of these same rules and methods used to produce the annual financial statements.

This interim condensed financial report must be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. In addition, the comparability of interim and annual financial statements may be affected by seasonal trends of Group business and notably the impact of launch phases of new fragrance lines.

Financial information presented herein is based on:

– IFRS standards and interpretations whose application was mandatory starting in 2005;

– options retained and exemptions used by the Group for the preparation of IFRS consolidated financial statements.

1.2. Changes in accounting standards

The following standards, amendments and interpretations that entered into force on January 1, 2014 were applied by the company in preparing its interim consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ending June 30, 2014:

– amendment to IAS 32 "Financial instruments: Presentation – Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities";

– amendment to IAS 36 "Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets";

– IFRS 10 "consolidated financial statements;

– IFRS 11 "Joint arrangements";

– IFRS 12 "Disclosure of interests in other entities".

These standards, amendments and interpretations did not have a material effect on the company's consolidated financial statements.

Furthermore no standards, amendments or interpretations currently under review by IASB and IFRIC were applied in advance in the financial statements for the period ending June 30, 2014.

1.3. Basis of consolidation

In April 2013, Interparfums also acquired the remaining 29% stake in its Italian subsidiary "Interparfums Srl", that is henceforth wholly-owned.

All Group subsidiaries are fully consolidated.

Interparfums SA Ownership interest (%)
Controlling interest (%)
Interparfums Suisse Sarl Switzerland 100%
Interparfums Singapore Singapore 100%
Interparfums Luxury Brands United States 100%
Inter España Parfums et Cosmetiques S.L. Spain 100%
Interparfums Srl Italy 100%
Interparfums Deutschland GmbH Germany 51%
Interparfums Ltd United Kingdom 51%

The signature of the Karl Lagerfeld license agreement resulted in an advance on royalty payments to be charged against future license fees of €9,589,000. This advance was discounted over the license agreement term and reduced accordingly to €6,488,000 at December 31, 2013.

An initial advance of €250,000 was charged to royalty payments on June 30, 2014.

The adjustment from discounting the balance to present value at June 30, 2014 brought this advance to €6,320,000 with the offset recognized by increasing the amortization of upfront license fees.

At June 30, 2014, the potential number of Interparfums shares that may be created was 197,952.

Benefits granted to employees in the form of stock options, 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 €89,000 for the first half of 2014 and €133,000 for the first half of 2013.

For all these plans, the stock options have terms of six years.

2.8.3. Treasury stock

2.8.5. Information on equity

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 more than 30% of consolidated earnings to reward shareholders while at the same time

associating them with the Group's expansion. In early May 2014, a dividend of €0.49 per share was paid or a total of €11.9 million.

Given its financial structure, the Group is able to secure financing for important projects from banks in the form of medium-term loans.

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.

2.14. Risk management

The primary risks related to the Group's business and organization result from interest rate and foreign exchange rate exposures that are hedged using derivative financial instruments. The potential impacts of other risks on the company's financials are not material.

2.14.1. Interest rate risks

The Group's policy for reducing its interest rate exposure risk seeks to ensure a stable level of financial expense by making use of all financial instruments such as hedges in the form of fixed rate swaps and the use of floor and caps.

This policy will be implemented, without adopting a speculative approach, when the company obtains loans.

2.14.2. Liquidity risks

The net position of financial assets and liabilities by maturity is as follows:

In € thousands < 1 year 1 to 5 years > 5 years Total

In addition, because a significant portion of Group sales is in foreign currencies, it incurs a risk from exchange rate fluctuations, primarily from the US dollar (42.5% of sales) and to a lesser extent the Pound sterling (6.9% of sales) and the Japanese yen (1.7% of sales).

The Group's exchange-rate risk management policy seeks to cover exposures related to monetary flows resulting from sales in US dollars, pounds sterling and Japanese yens.

4. SEGMENT REPORTING

4.1. Business lines

Up until 2013, the activity of the Interparfums Group was organized and focused around two profit centers: "Perfumes" and "Skincare and Beauty".

The "Skin Care and Beauty" profit center included operations relating to the makeup business developed under the Burberry brand and cosmetics products developed under the Nickel brand.

As these two brands were sold in 2013, only be "Perfumes" profit center remained in 2014.

As the performance metrics for each of the brands included in this business are similar, company management grouped its marketing and export activities into a single division.

In consequence, in accordance with IFRS 8, the brands were grouped together within the signal segment of "Perfumes".

In consequence, the Group's income statement and balance sheet henceforth reflect the operations of the "Perfumes" activity in its entirety.

4.2. Geographical segments

Lanvin

In June 2004, Interparfums SA signed an exclusive worldwide license agreement with Lanvin effective July 1, 2004 to create, develop and distribute fragrance lines under the Lanvin brand name for 15 years.

At the end of July 2007, Interparfums acquired the Lanvin brand names and international trademarks for fragrance and make-up products from the Jeanne Lanvin company.

The Jeanne Lanvin company holds a buy back option for the brands which will be exercisable on July 1, 2025.

STATUTORY AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT

(For the six-month period ended June 30, 2014)

This is a free translation into English of the Statutory Auditors' report issued in the French language and is consequently provided solely for the convenience of English speaking readers. This report should be read in conjunction with, and is construed in accordance with, French law and professional auditing standards applicable in France. As the English version of the interim financial statements has not been audited by the Statutory Auditors, only the original French version of the Statutory Auditors' report is legally binding.

To the Shareholders,

Pursuant to our appointment as Statutory Auditors by your shareholders' Meeting and in accordance with article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code ("Code Monétaire et Financier"), we hereby report to you on:

– the limited review of the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Interparfums SA for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014;

– the verification of the information given in the interim management report.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared under the responsibility of your Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these statements on the basis of our limited review of these financial statements.

I. Conclusion on the financial statements

We have conducted our limited review in accordance with the professional standards applicable in France.

A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily with persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The scope of a review is substantially less than for an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted audit standards in France. As such, it provides a moderate assurance that the financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatements that is lower than that which would result from an audit.

Based on our limited review, we have identified no material irregularities that would indicate that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are inconsistent with IAS 34, the IFRS adopted in the European Union for interim financial reporting.

II. Specific verifications

We have also verified information given in the interim management report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements that were subject to our review.

We have no matters to report as to the fair presentation and consistency of this information with the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
