1. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Strong momentum since the beginning of the year remained on track in the 2013 second quarter. Sales excluding Burberry fragrances reached €55 million, up 11.8% from the same period in 2012. With the sale of remaining inventory of components and finished products to Burberry, 2013 second-quarter sales amounted to €70.7 million.

For the first six months, sales excluding Burberry fragrances came to nearly €120 million, up 13.3% from the 2012 first half. Total revenue for the period reached €218.5 million.

Repetto - 2.2 - 2.2
Other (0.1) 1.4 1.1 2.2
Total 98.1 70.7 208.9 218.5

With sales of nearly €34 million, Lanvin fragrances maintained double-digit growth (+15%) from continuing gains of the Éclat d'Arpège (+17%) line and the spring launch of the Lanvin Me line.

Montblanc fragrances strengthened growth momentum (+28%) from the broad-based and sustained success of Montblanc Legend launched in 2011 and now the Group's top-selling line.

The Flash line, the second initiative under the Jimmy Choo brand launched in early 2013, accelerated the pace of sales that registered very strong growth (+45%).

The launch of the Rêve line and steady performances by the First and Collection Extraordinaire lines contributed to renewed growth by Van Cleef & Arpels fragrances with sales of nearly €10 million for the period.

With no major initiatives in the period, and pending the launch of the Place Vendôme line planned for the fall, Boucheron fragrances had sales of €6 million. This included an unfavorable comparison base from the reintroduction of the brand's classic lines in the 2012 first half.

Repetto fragrances started commercial operations by setting the stage in late June for the first women's fragrance line built around the universe of dance. Initial results for July both in the French market and the duty-free segment have been excellent. The international launch is scheduled for September.

1.2. Highlights by region

While the brand portfolio's geographical mix excluding Burberry remains balanced, growth in the period was particularly strong in Asia (above 30%) driven by Lanvin, Jimmy Choo and Montblanc fragrances and in Western Europe (above 20%) by Montblanc and Jimmy Choo fragrances.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

H1 H1
In €
millions
2012 2013 13/12
Sales 208.9 218.5 +4.6%
Gross margin 132.0 133.1 +0.8%
% of sales 63.2% 60.9%
Operating profit 29.2 54.7 +87.3%
% of sales 14.0% 25.0%
Net income 18.9 35.3 +86.8%
% of sales 9.0% 16.2%

The decline in the gross margin as a percentage of sales is mainly a consequence of the discontinuation of the Burberry license and, in particular, the sale with no margin of remaining components and finished products to Burberry Ltd.

With limited advertising expenditures for the Burberry brand in connection with the discontinuation of the license, operating profit for the first half came to €54.7 million, up 87% from the same period in 2012. On that basis, the operating margin reached an exceptional and non-recurrent level of 25%.

Net income followed the same trend with an 87% increase in the period and a net margin of more than 16%.

At June 30, 2013, the Group's financial position remained excellent with €355 in shareholders' equity and €192 million in net cash and the decrease in working capital requirements in the first half offsetting the tax charge linked to the exit payment for the Burberry license.

3. HALF YEAR MILESTONES

January

Launch of the Flash line of Jimmy Choo

Flash, the second line of the Jimmy Choo brand, is a solar floral composition, based around a bouquet of white flowers, both effervescent and sensual.

March

The Burberry license ended

In accordance with the terms of the transition agreement signed in October 2012 by Interparfums and Burberry, the partnership agreement between the two companies ended at the end of March 2013.

April

Launch of the Me line of Lanvin

The new Lanvin Me line is a floral gourmand blend combining notes of liquorice and blueberry.

May

Exceptional dividend payment

This year, in addition to the ordinary dividend of €0.54 per share, the General Meeting approved the distribution of exceptional dividend of the same amount, thus increasing the total dividend for fiscal 2012 to €1.08 per share.

Launch of the Rêve line of Van Cleef & Arpels

Built around the universe of the dream, Interparfums launched a new women's fragrance line under the Van Cleef & Arpels brand, a majestic bouquet of lilies and osmanthus invigorated by fruity undertones, enriched with an intense trail of precious amber.

June

4

Bonus share distribution

The company proceeded with its 14th bonus share issue on the basis of one new share for every ten shares held.

4. RISK FACTORS AND RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES

4.1.

Risk factors

Information on market risks and their management is presented in note 2.15 of the interim consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Other risk factors are of the same nature as those presented in section 3 "Risk factors" of the 2012 consolidated management report included in the registration document filed on March 28, 2013 with the French financial market authorities (Autorité des Marchés Financiers or AMF). There were no material changes in these risk factors in the 2013 first half.

4.2. Related party transactions

In the 2013 first half, relations between Interparfums and affiliated companies remained comparable with those of fiscal year 2012 presented in Note 6 "Related part disclosures" of the 2012 consolidated financial statements included in the registration document filed on March 28, 2013 with the AMF.

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

5. OUTLOOK

2013 first half ended with a very positive performance of the Group's continuing brands, driven in particular by the successful launch of Jimmy Choo Flash, accelerating momentum by Montblanc Legend and favorable market responses to the lines Me of Lanvin and Rêve of Van Cleef & Arpels, in addition to higher-than-expected sales from the discontinued Burberry license. On that basis, Interparfums raised its full-year guidance for 2013 sales to €320 million. For the full year, the operating margin should come in higher than the latest estimates at more than 12%.

6. POST-CLOSING EVENTS

1. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

1.1. Statement of compliance

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ending June 30, 2013 were adopted by the Board of Directors on September 3, 2013. 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 condensed interim financial report must be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. 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 July 1, 2012 were applied by the company in preparing its interim consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ending June 30, 2013:

  • Amendment to IAS 1 "Presentation of items of other comprehensive income".

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

The following standards, amendments and interpretations that entered into force on January 1, 2013 were applied by the company in preparing its interim consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ending June 30, 2013:

  • Amendment to IAS 19 "Employee benefits".

Its impact on the consolidated financial statements of the company is presented herein in note 1.3.

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, 2013.

1.3. Application of the amendment to IAS 19 "Employee benefits"

The amendment to IAS 19 "Employee benefits" was adopted by the European Union on June 5, 2012 by Regulation No. 475/2012. Its application is mandatory for periods commencing on or after January 1, 2013.

The main changes described in this amendment with an impact on the Group's financial statements are as follows:

All debt in connection with pension and other post-retirement obligations is now recognized in the balance sheet. The mechanisms providing for deferring actuarial gains and past service costs are no longer authorized. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in full in equity and no longer in income, without the possibility of subsequently being recycled in profit or loss.

The effects of amendments of the plan with respect to past service costs are immediately recognized in profit or loss whether the rights are vested or not by employees. Unvested rights in connection with these plans are consequently no longer accounted for using deferred recognition.

The impact of the change in method on equity at January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 as well as 2012 net income break down as follows:

In € thousands Shareholders' equity Net income
Provisions for non-current commitments
(restatement of past service costs previously presented as off-balance sheet items) (542) -
Deferred tax 196 -
Impacts of amendment at January 1, 2012 (346) -
Allowances for contingencies and expenses
(restatement of actuarial gains and losses not recognized under equity) - 489
Consolidated reserves (489)
Deferred tax 177 (177)
Allowances for contingencies and expenses
(cancellation of the amortization charge of past service costs) - 22
Deferred tax - (8)
Impacts of the amendment at December 31, 2012 (658) 326

The balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in shareholders' equity and notes presented in this report have been restated to eliminate the impacts of the retrospective application of the amendment to IAS 19.

Given the non-material impact on the consolidated income statement and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, comparative financial information has not been restated.

1.4. 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. These include Interparfums Deutschland GmbH, Inter España Parfums et Cosmetiques SL, Interparfums Srl, Interparfums Ltd, Interparfums Suisse Sarl, Interparfums Singapore and Interparfums Luxury Brands.

The reduction in the line item "Rights on molds for bottles and related items" results from their transfer to Burberry Ltd after the termination of the license agreement.

2.2. Goodwill

In the absence of any indication of impairment, indefinite life intangible assets were not revalued on June 30, 2013.

Goodwill results from the acquisition of Nickel.

The gross value of goodwill of €5,202,000 was tested for impairment on December 31, 2012. In the absence of any indication of impairment for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2013, indefinite life intangible assets were not revalued. In consequence, the total amount for impairment of €4,603,000 recognized in the balance sheet was maintained.

As of June 30, 2013, Interparfums' capital was comprised of 24,200,331 shares fully paid-up with a par value of €3, 73.23% held by Interparfums Holding.

For the period under review, capital increases result from the bonus issue of June 17, 2013 for 2,000,003 shares on the basis of one new share for every ten shares held.

2.9.2. Stock option plans

The managers and employees of Interparfums and its subsidiaries benefit from stock option plans.

At June 30, 2013, the potential number of Interparfums SA shares that may be created was 258,908.

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 €133,000 for the first half of both 2013 and 2012.

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:

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

at the same time associating them with the Group's expansion. In early May 2013, a dividend of €0.54 per share was paid. An exceptional dividend of €0.54 per share was also paid on the same date. On that basis, the total dividend payout for fiscal 2012 was €1.08 per share or €23.7 million.

30% of consolidated earnings to reward shareholders while

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

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 and the use of floor and caps.

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

3.15.2. Liquidity risk

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

In €

Hedging of assets and liabilities - - -
Net position after hedging 161,039 30,037 6,605

2.15.3. Foreign exchange risk

Net positions of the Group in the main foreign currencies are as follows:

In €
thousands
USD GBP JPY CAD
Assets 30,643 3,313 1,223 165
Liabilities (2,644) (24) (9) -

Currency hedges (24,169) (1,832) - -
Net position after hedging 3,830 1,457 1,214 165

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 (39.8% of sales) and to a lesser extent the Pound sterling (6.1% 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. 23

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

STATUTORY AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT ON THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013)

This is a free translation into English of the Statutory Auditors' limited review report issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking readers. This report should be read in conjunction with and construed in accordance with French law and professional auditing standards applicable in France.

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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Interparfums SA for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013;

  • The verification of the information given in the interim management report.

These condensed consolidated interim 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements are inconsistent with IAS 34, the IFRS adopted in the European Union for interim financial reporting.

Without qualifying the above conclusion, we draw your attention as an emphasis of matter to note 1.3 – Application of the amendment to IAS 19 "Employee benefits" to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements that presents the impacts relating to the change in accounting method with respect to this standard.

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.
