1 • Review of operations

01_VA_V1 02/09/2019 11:40 Page3

Consolidated second- quarter sales reached ¤111.8 million, an increase of 15.2% at current exchange rates and 11.7% at constant exchange rates from the same period in 2018. This double digit growth was driven notably by the excellent performances of Montblanc (+36%) and Coach fragrances (+53%) over the period.

On that basis, consolidated first- half sales for 2019 reached ¤238.4 million, up 9% at current exchange rates and 5.4% at constant exchange rates from last year's first half.

1.1 • Highlights by brand

¤m H1 2018 H1 2019 2019/2018
Montblanc 57.1 71.8 +26%
Jimmy Choo 42.6 46.2 +8%
Coach 37.4 41.7 +11%
Lanvin 29.6 28.1 - 5%
Rochas 16.3 14.6 - 10%

license revenues 1.1 1.0 - 9%
Total revenue 218.7 238.4 +9%

Montblanc registered sales of nearly ¤72 million in six months, a 26% increase in relation to H1 2018. This performance is the result of the excellent start of the Montblanc Explorer line, particularly in the United States, Western Europe and France and limited declines, as expected, by the Montblanc Legend Night and Montblanc Emblemlines.

A number of launches by Jimmy Choo at the end of 2018 and early 2019 fueled solid gains in sales of more than 8%. A second men's line to be launched in September will further strengthen the brand's activity.

With nearly ¤42 million in sales, the activity of Coach fragrances was reinforced by the initial launches of the Coach Floral Blushline in early March.

Lanvin fragrances had sales of ¤28 million, representing a marginal decline limited by the launch of A Girl in Capriin March.

With sales of nearly ¤15 million, Rochas fragrances decreased 10%, reflecting the absence of major launches in the period. Looking ahead, its sales will receive a boost from a new initiative in the pipeline for the end of 2019 and early 2020.

Boucheron fragrances remained largely stable as it continues to benefit from the performances of its collection of exclusive fragrance lines but also the Quatreline.

Van Cleef & Arpels fragrances was up by more than 20%, bolstered by continuing gains of the Collection Extraordinaireline.

Finally, the launch of the new fragrance duo of the Les Parfums Matières collection has allowed Karl Lagerfeld fragrances to maintain its momentum.

1.2 • Highlights by region

Driven by the good performances of Montblanc, Jimmy Choo and Coach fragrances, the Middle East registered the strongest gains of the first half with growth in sales of 31%. Growth momentum in North America (+11%), as in Western Europe (+9%), has remained on track. Against a backdrop of difficult market conditions for perfumes, France and South America held their ground with limited declines (- 2%).

2 • Consolidated financial highlights

¤m H1 2018 H1 2019 2019/2018
Sales 218.7 238.4 +9%
Gross margin 139.1 152.3 +10%
% of sales 63.6% 63.9%
Operating profit 34.8 39.0 +12%
% of sales 15.9% 16.4%
Net income 25.2 27.2 +8%
% of sales 11.5% 11.4%

The Company continued its strategy of investment with a marketing and advertising budget of more than ¤50 million notably to support the launch of the Montblanc Explorer line at the beginning of the year. Tight controls over all expenses and favorable euro/dollar exchange rate trends contributed to a 12% increase in operating profit and an operating margin of more than 16%.

Net income grew 8% despite the marginal impact of foreign exchange hedges combined with lower returns from financial investments.

3 • Half year milestones

¤m 06/30/18 12/31/18 06/30/19
Group shareholders'
equity 421.9 444.6 438.3
Cash net of borrowings 136.4 182.6 137.4

With growth in business automatically leading to increases in both inventory, particularly for Montblanc fragrances and future launches, and in accounts receivable, working capital in the 2019 first half temporarily declined.

Net cash was not adversely impacted by the dividend payment of ¤30 million for fiscal 2018 in May 2019 or the repayment of the Rochas loan in the amount of ¤10 million, and reached ¤137 million at June 30, 2019, remaining stable in relation to one year earlier.

April

Launch of the Coach Floral Blushline

An airy and colorful scent associating sparkling notes create a sensual, bold fragrance.

May

Launch of the Lanvin A girl in Capri line

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 2018 registration document filed on April 4, 2019 with the French financial market authorities (Autorité des Marchés Financiers or AMF). There were no material changes in these Risk Factors in the 2019 first half.

4.2 • Related party transactions

In the 2019 first half, relations between Interparfums and affiliated companies remained comparable with those of fiscal year 2018 presented in note 6.5 "Information on related parties" of the 2018 consolidated financial statements (section 2) included in the registration document filed on April 4, 2019 with the AMF.

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

5 • Outlook

The company delivered a very good performance in the second quarter, in line with the first quarter, with ¤112 million in sales or growth of 12% at constant exchange rates from last year. This was in part due to the high scores of the Montblanc Explorer line in a number of markets which, as expected, accelerated the pace of Montblanc fragrances' growth. On that basis, the 2019 target for full- year revenue of ¤480 million has been confirmed.

Significant resources have been devoted to support the launch of the Montblanc Explorer line in the last few months. Despite this, by effectively containing spending levels and in light of the favorable euro/dollar exchange rate trend (1.13 in the H1 2019 versus 1.21 in H1 2018), a high operating margin in the 2019 first half of more than 15% is expected. For the 2019 full- year, as previously announced, this margin should reach approximately 14%.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

1 • Accounting principles

1.1 • Compliance statement

03_VA_V1 02/09/2019 11:40 Page13

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six- month period ending June 30, 2019 were adopted by the Board of Directors on September 4, 2019. 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, 2018. 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 subject to mandatory application;
  • options and exemptions adopted 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 financial statements for the period ending June 30, 2019.

The following standards, amendments or interpretations that entered into effect on January 1, 2019 were applied by the company in preparing its consolidated financial statements for the six- month period ended June 30, 2019.

IFRS 16 – Leases

The main lease agreements identified which are required to be recognized in the balance sheet under assets are the premises of the Paris headquarters, the New York and Singapore offices and the Rouen warehousing facility.

In application of IFRS 16, all lease agreements are now recognized on the balance sheet as a right to use an asset (right- of- use asset) and as a liability corresponding to the present value of future payments.

With respect to the terms of these leases, the Company has applied the longest period possible, including options for renewal for the lessee, based on the intention for the continued use the premises.

The gross value of right- of- use assets on that basis amounted to ¤14.8 million (see note 2.3).

To apply this standard, Interparfums Group selected the modified retrospective transition approach as transition option. Comparative financial statements for prior years are not restated.

Under this transition method, the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard is recognized as an adjustment to opening equity while measuring the right- of- use asset at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and prepayments and benefits received from lessors.

The initial impacts of IFRS 16's first- time application on the balance sheet were as follows:

  • recognition of right- of- use assets and lease liabilities;
  • the reclassification of assets and liabilities recognized under existing finance leases at December 31, 2018 (vehicle leases);
  • the reclassification of deferred lease payments as a deduction from right- of- use assets.

In addition, the following simplification measures were applied to the transition:

  • leases of assets representing a low unit value or a short lease term (less than 12 months as from January 1, 2019) are not recognized in the balance sheet as an asset and liability and were instead recorded as expenses;
  • the present values applied on the transition date are based on market rates, country by country and according to both the term of each of lease and also the payment schedule to which is added a spread for the purpose of taking into account the specific economic environments of each country, whereby the Group cannot apply the incremental borrowing rate in light of its limited debt.

The reconciliation between debt recorded under "lease liabilities" and items presented under off- balance sheet commitments at December 31, 2018 on that basis broke down as follows:

2.4 • Long- term investments and other non- current financial assets

2.4.1 • Long- term investments

Long- term investments consist primarily of deposit guarantees on property and since the end of March 2018, a loan granted to the Interparfums Inc. parent company (US\$10 million) amounting to ¤8.1 million under normal market conditions. Repayment of this loan commenced in April 2019 in the amount of US\$1 million per month over a period of 10 months for the principal plus the interest thereon.

At June 30, 2019, the balance of this loan was US\$8 million, after repayment of the first two installments.

2.4.2 • 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 ¤9.6 million. This advance is discounted over the license agreement term and reduced accordingly to ¤3.3 million at June 30, 2018.

The corresponding offset was recognized by increasing the amortization of upfront license fees.

For the period under review, capital increases result from the bonus share issue of June 14, 2019 for 4,296,562 shares on the basis of one new share for every ten shares held.

2.9.2 • Performance share awards

For the 2016 plan, shares previously purchased by the company on the market are vested by their beneficiaries after a vesting period of three years.

The vesting of these shares is contingent on a condition of presence and conditions of performance. The shares awarded without consideration and fully vested may be sold on the vesting date without the application of a holding period.

Actual transmission of the securities is contingent on the presence of the employee on September 6, 2019 regardless of the status of the beneficiary and/or criteria of performance relating to consolidated revenue for fiscal 2018 for 50% of the restricted stock units awarded, and consolidated operating profit for 50% of the remaining restricted stock units awarded to senior executive and manager beneficiaries.

On December 31, 2018, the company duly noted that these two conditions of performance had been fully met.

Shares previously purchased by the company on the market are vested by their beneficiaries after a vesting period of 3 1/2 years. The maximum number of shares to be awarded is 133,000 shares for senior executives and managers and 26,000 shares for all other employees.

The vesting of these shares is contingent on a condition of presence and conditions of performance. The shares awarded without consideration and fully vested may be sold on the vesting date without the application of a holding period.

Actual transmission of the securities is contingent on the presence of the employee on June 30, 2022 regardless of the status of the beneficiary and/or criteria of performance relating to consolidated revenue for fiscal 2021 for 50% of the restricted stock units awarded, and consolidated operating profit for 50% of the remaining restricted stock units awarded to senior executive and manager beneficiaries.

Concerning the 2016 plan and in accordance with IFRS 2, the Interparfums SA share price used to estimate the value in the consolidated financial statements is the average price for the last three trading sessions preceding the implementation of the plan or ¤23.98. 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 ¤2.9 million or ¤482,000 for the 2019 first half.

3 First Half Report 2019 Interparfums 16/17

At June 30, 2019, the cumulative expense since the beginning of the plan was ¤2.7 million.

03_VA_V1 02/09/2019 11:40 Page18

To ensure the availability of shares for remittance to employees on maturity, the company purchased 304,465 shares on the market on June 30, 2019 for a total amount of ¤8.7 million. These shares are presented as a deduction from shareholders' equity.

At June 30, 2019, the estimated number of shares to be remitted was 321,754 for the two plans combined.

In accordance with IFRS 2, the Interparfums SA share price used to estimate the value in the consolidated financial statements is that of the last trading session preceding the implementation of the plan or ¤33.15.

Changes in the period break down as follows:

The fair value applied on the award date is ¤30.20 after taking into account future dividends. The total expense to be spread over the duration of the plan (3.5 years) amounted to ¤4.1 million.

At June 30, 2019, the cumulative expense since the beginning of the plan was ¤584,000.

2.9.3 • Treasury shares

Within the framework of the share repurchase program authorized by the General Meeting of April 26, 2019, 72,960 Interparfums shares were held by the company as of June 30, 2019 or 0.17% of the share capital.

2.9.5 • 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 nearly 65% of consolidated net income to provide shareholders with significant returns while at the same time associating them with the Group's expansion. In early May 2019, a dividend of ¤0.71 per share was paid or a total of ¤30.3 million.

Given its financial structure, the Group is able to secure financing for important projects from banks in the form of medium- term loans. At the end of May 2015, a 5- year ¤100 million loan was obtained to finance the acquisition of the Rochas brand. At June 30, 2019, the remaining amount outstanding on this loan amounted was ¤20 million.

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.

03_VA_V1 02/09/2019 11:40 Page20

The Rochas loan contracted in May 2015 was covered by an interest rate swap covering 90% of the debt and guaranteeing a maximum rate of 2% over the loan's full term.

At June 30, 2019, on the basis of a notional amount of ¤20 million, a gain of ¤81,000 in connection with this swap was recognized in the income statement whereby the Group did not apply hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS 9. The market value of the swap at June 30, 2019 represented a negative amount for the company of ¤100,000.

2.11.4 • Covenants

The Rochas loan obtained by the parent company is subject to the following covenant ratios:

  • interest coverage ratio: consolidated EBITDA/ consolidated interest expense;
  • leverage ratio: consolidated net debt/consolidated EBITDA.

In 2019, all these covenants were 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.

2.12 • Deferred tax

The income tax rate used to calculate the tax expense is the projected annualized rate at the group level for all periods presented.

Deferred taxes arise mainly from timing differences between financial accounting and tax accounting. Deferred taxes from consolidation adjustments and loss carryforwards are recovered as follows:

(1) The fair value of borrowings and financial liabilities is measured as the total value of future cash flows discounted according to the prevailing interest rate on the market for comparable instruments.

No change in fair value has been recorded through equity.

In accordance with IFRS 13, current and non- current financial assets, cash and cash equivalents and borrowings and financial liabilities are measured using directly observable inputs other than quoted market prices or provided by financial institutions (level 2). The carrying value of other financial assets presented above represents a satisfactory approximation of their fair value.

2.15 • 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.

2.15.1 • 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.

2.15.2 • Liquidity risks

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 (47.0% of sales) and to a lesser extent the Pound sterling (4.2% of sales) and the Japanese yen (1.6% 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.
