1 • Review of operations

Consolidated first - half sales for 2020 amounted to ¤139.3 million, down 42% from the same period in 2019.

1.1 • Brand highlights

Montblanc 71.8 36.2 -50%
Coach 41.7 33.6 -19%

Perfume sales 237.4 138.7 -42%
Rochas fashion
license revenues 1.0 0.6 -40%
Total revenue 238.4 139.3 -42%

Sales of the different brands in the 2020 first half were adversely impacted by the closure for several weeks of most points of sale throughout the world with declines of between 40% and 60% in the period. For Coach and Rochas fragrances, this decline was mitigated by the launches of the Coach Dreams and L'Homme Rochaslines at the start of the year.

1.2 • Highlights by region

While the sustained level of sales achieved in the United States and Western Europe over the last several years reduced the scope of the decline, overall the health crisis has impacted all regions, with the steepest declines in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. In France, sales rebounded significantly in May and June, driven by the good performances of Rochas and Montblanc fragrances.

Temporarily impacted by specific pricing conditions granted during the public health crisis for the purpose of supporting business and selected regions, the gross margin decreased four points between 2019 and 2020.

In the spring, the company reviewed all expenses with the objective of maintaining its margins and generating an operating profit, despite a decline in sales by more than 40%.

Its flexible operating model allowed it to eliminate or postpone marketing and advertising expenses, and notably certain media campaigns initially planned in the second quarter or linked to launches moved forward to 2021. In addition, this performance also automatically benefited from decreases of a certain number of other expenses directly linked to business activities, such as royalties or shipping expenses. On that basis, the operating margin reached 7.5%.

Reflecting the positive impact of effectively managing foreign exchange transactions and a lower average tax rate, the net margin for the first half amounted to 6.4%.

Working capital was temporarily impacted by the significant increase in inventories resulting from the sharp drop in sales in the second quarter as well as cash outflows to support customers and suppliers.

Despite the above, after canceling the dividend initially planned for 2019, net cash remained at a high level, reaching ¤157 million at June 30, 2020.

4 • Risk factors and information on related parties

4.1 • Risk factors

Risks linked to the Covid - 19 pandemic

Based on the developments following the publication of the Universal Registration Document in April 2020 (including the description of Covid - 19 related risks), the company largely confirms the information published about the management of this crisis.

In addition, with ongoing vigilance focused on ensuring the health and safety of the Group's employees, its objective today is to maintain all jobs.

Sourcing and production are marginally impacted as they are largely concentrated in France and Europe, with shipping by land and sea less affected than at the beginning of the health crisis.

In addition, Executive Management notes a gradual recovery in France, though slower than expected in other regions, particularly in the United States and South America which remain significantly

Information on market risks and their management are presented in note 2.16 of the consolidated interim financial statements included in this report.

The 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 2019 registration document filed on April 29, 2020 with the French financial market authorities (Autorité des Marchés Financiers or AMF). There were no material changes in these Risk factors in the 2020 first half.

impacted by this health crisis with the reopening of stores in consequence delayed or not yet planned.

The financial consequences which are described in detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of this half - year report consist mainly of lower sales and the corresponding expenditures.

Executive Management draws the readers' attention to the exceptional nature of these levels of earnings. It also emphasizes the sound financial position and balance sheet and in particular, the strong cash position enabling it to honor over a long period all its obligations and prepare for the recovery once more favorable conditions return.

After the initial months of this public health crisis, the company however confirms that it is unable to provide a more precise assessment of Covid - 19's impacts on its earnings for 2020.

4.2 • Related party transactions

In the 2020 first half, relations between Interparfums and affiliated companies were comparable with those of fiscal year 2019 presented in Note 6.5 "Information on related parties" of the 2019 consolidated financial statements (section 2) included in the Universal Registration Document filed on April 29, 2020 with the AMF.

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

5 • Outlook

Signs observed in recent weeks point to a gradual recovery in business. Nevertheless, because visibility at this stage remains low, it is not possible to confirm this trend before the fall and which will depend on the evolving health conditions. In this context, the company is currently not able to provide estimates on the impact of the pandemic on 2020 earnings.

6 • Post - closing events

None.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

1 • Accounting principles

1.1 • Compliance statement

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six - month period ending June 30, 2020 were adopted by the Board of Directors on September 7, 2020. 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, 2019. 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;

1.3 • Consolidated Group structure

– 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, 2020.

The following standards, amendments or interpretations that entered into effect on January 1, 2020 concerning the company or its operations were applied in preparing its consolidated financial statements for the six - month period ended June 30, 2020.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 "Definition of material"

These amendments do not have an impact in the financial statements here presented as the company has never been required to make economic decisions based on the material nature of financial information.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 "Interest rate benchmark reform"

These amendments have no impact in the financial statements here presented as the as these loan interest rates are not covered by hedging instruments.

2.10.2 • Performance share awards

Plan 2016

After a three - year vesting period, performance shares (actions gratuites or restricted stock units) of the 2016 plan were remitted to employees present on September 6, 2019,

The total charge to be amortized over the duration of the plan (three years) was ¤2.9 million of which ¤482,000 recognized for six - month period ended June 30, 2019.

Plan 2018

The maximum number of shares to be awarded on the inception date of the plan implemented on December 31, 2018 is 133,000 shares for senior executives and managers and 26,000 shares for all other employees.

Shares previously purchased by the company on the market will be vested by their beneficiaries after a vesting period of three and a half years.

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 the other 50% awarded to senior executive and manager beneficiaries.

In the current environment characterized by a significant decline in sales in the first half with an important decrease for 2020 and 2021, and in order to enable employees to acquire all or part of these securities, on June 24, 2020, pursuant to the proposal of the Chairman-CEO, the Board of Directors decided to review the conditions of performance set for this plan.

Based on these revised conditions, and in light of the absence visibility for the medium - term, 80% was set as the percentage for achieving the new objectives at June 30.

To ensure the availability of shares for remittance to employees on maturity, the company purchased 131,614 shares on the market on June 30, 2020 for a total amount of ¤5.2 million. These shares are presented as a deduction from shareholders' equity.

At June 30, 2020, the estimated number to be remitted was 125,341 shares.

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

Changes in the period break down as follows:

preceding the implementation of the plan or ¤33.15. 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 ¤3.4 million.

At June 30, 2020, the cumulative expense since the beginning of the plan was ¤1,475,000.

2.10.3 • Treasury shares

Within the framework of the share repurchase program authorized by the General Meeting of June 24, 2020, 43,497 Interparfums shares were held by the company as of June 30, 2020 or 0.09% of the share capital.

2.10.5 • 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 in 2019 represented nearly 65% of consolidated net income to provide shareholders with significant returns while at the same time associating them with the Group's expansion.

Due to the impact of the Covid - 19 pandemic on the Group's activity and the absence of visibility with respect to business, on June 24, 2020, pursuant to the proposal of the Board of Directors, the Annual General Meeting voted to appropriate net income for fiscal 2019 without a distribution of dividends.

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, 2020, this loan was paid back in full.

At the end of June 2020, a 3 - year ¤12 million loan was obtained for the acquisition of a 25% equity stake in Divabox.

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.

(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.

2.16 • 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.

2.16.1 • 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.

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 (45.0% of sales) and to a lesser extent the Pound sterling (4.5% of sales) and the Japanese yen (1.8% 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.

3 • Notes to the income statement

In light of the current public health crisis and the measures adopted in response, the income and expense aggregates forming the operating profit were subject to significant variations in the period.

Certain expenses directly linked to business activity such as royalties or transportation costs mechanically decreased significantly as a result.

Other expenses, more flexible in nature, were able to be adjusted. These concern mainly advertising campaigns that were canceled or postponed and provisions linked to variable compensation that were reduced, reflecting the company's goal of preserving all jobs.

No other non - recurring expenses directly linked to the management of the current health crisis have been recorded in the income statement.
