1. REvIEW OF OPERATIONS
Consolidated first-half sales reached €209.3 million, up 29% at current exchange rates and 27.5% at constant exchange rates from the same period in 2016. This excellent performance was driven by organic growth from the established lines plus several initiatives since fall 2016, and notably the launch of the Coach, Mademoiselle Rochas, Jimmy Choo L'Eau, Jimmy Choo Man Ice or Lanvin Modern Princess lines.
1.1. Highlights by brand
| €m | H1 2016 | H1 2017 2017/2016 | |

| Total revenue | 162.3 | 209.3 | 29.0% |
Montblanc fragrances had €57.1 million in sales, consolidating their positions in line with expectations, after more than 30% growth in the 2016 first half that included the launch of the Montblanc Legend Spirit line.
With sales of nearly €54.6 million, up 40% from the 2016 first half, Jimmy Choo fragrances achieved an excellent performance thanks to extensions of the lines Jimmy Choo L'Eau and Jimmy Choo Man Ice lines but also the solidity of the established women's and men's fragrance lines.
After a period of difficult market conditions in Russia and China in 2016, Lanvin fragrances returned to growth, driven by the international launch of the Modern Princess line and the continuing solidity of the Éclat d'Arpège line.
Rochas fragrances had €18.6 million in sales based on the strength of the brand's established lines and the Mademoiselle Rochas line's launch in around ten markets, the brand's first initiative since acquired in 2015.
Coach fragrances had €15.7 million in sales, highlighting the positive market response to the women's line Coach launched in the 2016 second half.
1.2. Highlights by region
Growth rates were high in virtually all markets, and in particular North America (+33%) and Asia (+29%). In Western Europe, gains were more moderate, reflecting the high comparison base in the 2016 first half from the Montblanc Legend Spirit line's launch.
2. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
| €m | H1 2016 | H1 2017 2017 / 2016 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales 162.3 209.3 29.0% | |||
| Gross margin 106.0 136.6 28.9% % of sales |
65.3% | 65.3% | |
| Operating profit 21.6 33.1 53.2% % of sales |
13.3% | 15.8% | |
| Net income 12.9 21.7 68.2% % of sales |
7.9% | 10.4% |
With an increase of more than 40% in marketing and advertising expenses in the 2017 first half, the company deployed substantial resources to consolidate and develop its market share and support launches in the period, notably the Mademoiselle Rochas, Jimmy Choo L'Eau or Jimmy Choo Man Ice lines. By applying tight controls over fixed costs, these efforts did not adversely impact operating profit which was up by more than 50% from the 2016 first half. On that basis, the operating margin reached 15.8%.
This trend was amplified at the level of net income that rose 68% and taking into account a provision for tax audit contingencies impacting the income of the last year's first half. The net margin for the first half accordingly reached 10.4%.
| €m | 12 /31 / 16 06 /30 / 17 2017 /20 16 | |
|---|---|---|
| Group shareholders' equity 403.6 404.9 0.3% | ||
| Cash + other current | ||
| financial assets 230.6 192.2 -16.7% | ||
| Medium-term loans 70.7 60.6 -14.3% |
Strong sales growth in the first half and the inventory buildup in preparation for second half launches (including the Montblanc Legend Night and Coach for Men lines), temporarily impacted working capital in the 2017 first half.
After the €19 million dividend payment for 2016 and the €10 million repayment of the Rochas loan, at June 30, 2017, a significant net cash position remained of more than €131 million.

4. RISk FACTORS AND INFORMATION ON RELATED PARTIES
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 2016 registration document filed on March 31, 2017 with the French financial market authorities (Autorité des Marchés Financiers or AMF). There were no material changes in these Risk factors in the 2017 first half.
4.2. Related party transactions
In the 2017 first half, relations between Interparfums and affiliated companies remained comparable with those of fiscal year 2016 presented in note 6.5 "Information on related parties" of the 2016 consolidated financial statements (section 2) included in the registration document filed on March 31, 2017 with the AMF.
This was also the case for relations between members of the Management Committee and the Board of Directors.
5. OUTLOOk
With growth in sales of nearly 30% in the 2017 first half, the positive momentum of the last few years has been confirmed. This trend has been reinforced by Coach and Rochas fragrances' recent upturn and significant initiatives for the Montblanc, Jimmy Choo and Lanvin fragrances in particular. In this context, and in light of the launches of the men's lines, Coach and Montblanc Legend Night in the fall, the company has raised its guidance for annual growth, that is expected to reach €400 million for the 2017 full year.
The Company devoted significant resources to marketing and advertising in the 2017 first half to consolidate or develop its market shares. By continuing this strategy in the second half, it will be possible to maintain the 2017 operating margin target of between 13% and 13.5% for the full year.

1. AccOUNTINg PRINcIPLES
1.1. compliance statement
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ending June 30, 2017 were adopted by the Board of Directors on September 6, 2017. 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, 2016. 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
Furthermore no standards, amendments or interpretations currently under review by IASB and IFRIc were applied in advance in the interim financial statements for the period ending June 30, 2017.
The following standards, amendments and interpretations, not yet entered into effect, have been studied in advance to evaluate their impacts on future consolidated financial statements:
– IFRS 9 "financial instruments" – entering into effect in January 2018: to date, the company does not anticipate any material impact in the consolidated financial statements in the future;
– IFRS 15 "Revenue recognition" – entering into effect in January 2018: to date, the company does not anticipate any material impact in the consolidated financial statements in the future;
– IFRS 16 "Leases" – entering into effect in 2019: the company has initiated a study. The impacts on the consolidated financial statements are currently being quantified. At this stage, the company has identified lease agreements to be recognized in the balance sheet under assets, and namely for the premises of the Paris headquarters, the New York and Singapore offices and the Rouen warehousing facility. No other contract has been identified as falling within the scope of this standard.
According to initial calculations based on existing leases and their maturities at the end of the reporting period, a restatement of fixed assets and borrowings for a maximum amount of approximately €20 million may be expected.

This transaction covered all Rochas brand names and registered trademarks (Femme, Madame, Eau de Rochas,…) for France and international markets, mainly for class 3 (fragrances) and class 25 (fashion).
This brand was acquired for a price of US\$108 million, excluding inventory (€101.3 million). The additional costs of €5 million generated by the acquisition were added into the value of the asset.
The purchase price allocation to the Rochas Fragrances brand and the Rochas Fashion brand were measured by an outside appraiser and analyzed as follows:
| € thousands | Perfumes | Fashion | Total |

2.3. Other non-current financial assets
The signature of the Karl Lagerfeld license agreement resulted in an advance on royalty payments to be charged against future royalties of €9,589,000. This advance was discounted over the license agreement term and reduced accordingly to €4,616,000 at June 30, 2017.
The corresponding offset was recognized by increasing the amortization of upfront license fees.
2.4. Inventory and work in progress

| Current financial assets, cash and cash equivalents | 230,605 | 192,153 |

The fair value applied on the award date is €22.46 after taking into account future dividends.
An employee turnover rate and a rate of probability for achieving the performance criteria were also used for the calculation, bringing the total expense to be spread over the life of the plan (three years) to €3 million or €511,000 for the 2017 first half. At June 30, 2017, the cumulative expense since the beginning of the plan was €835,000.

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.

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 (44.8% of sales) and to a lesser extent the Pound sterling (4.3% of sales) and the Japanese yen (1.9% 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 line segments
Up until December 31, 2014, the company operated solely in the segment of "Perfumes" where the indicators for financial performances for each brand of this segment were comparable. In consequence, the group's income statement and balance sheet henceforth reflected the operations of the "Perfumes" activity in its entirety.
Since the acquisition of the Rochas brand on May 29, 2015, the company now operates in two distinct segments: "Perfumes" henceforth including Rochas' fragrance business and "Fashion" corresponding to activity generated by Rochas' fashion business.
However, a separate presentation is not provided for income statement aggregates because the "Fashion" business represents less than 0.7% of group sales.
Assets and liabilities relating to the Rochas brand at June 30, 2017 were as follows:
| € thousands | Perfumes | Fashion | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intangible assets – Rochas brand | 86,739 | 19,086 | 105,825 |
| Medium-term loan | 49,428 | 10,876 | 60,304 |
The amount of the loan has been allocated by business line in proportion to the breakdown of intangible assets.
Segment assets and liabilities consist of operating assets (liabilities) used primarily in France.
