Item 1. Financial Statements In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. We have condensed such financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Therefore, such financial statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued by filing with the SEC. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in our annual report filed on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. Page 1 INTER PARFUMS, INC.

Page 6 INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Significant Accounting Policies: The accounting policies we follow are set forth in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2022. 2. Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic: Our business has continued to significantly improve throughout 2022 and the first quarter of 2023 after the disastrous effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic starting in early 2020, as retail stores reopened, and consumers increased online purchasing. The introduction of variants of COVID-19 in various parts of the world continues to cause the temporary re-implementation of governmental restrictions to prevent further spread of the virus. In addition, international air travel remains curtailed in several jurisdictions due to both governmental restrictions and consumer health concerns. While COVID-19 had significantly restricted international travel, the travel retail business has picked up. Lastly, we have experienced significant strains on our supply chain causing disruptions affecting the procurement of components, the ability to transport goods, and related cost increases. These disruptions have come at a time when demand for our product lines has never been stronger or more sustained. We have been addressing this issue since the beginning of 2021, by ordering well in advance of need and in larger quantities. Since 2021, we have strived to carry more inventory overall, source the same components from multiple suppliers and when possible, manufacture products closer to where they are sold. We do not expect the supply chain bottlenecks to begin lifting until the second half of 2023. Therefore, despite recent business improvement, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic might continue to have adverse effects on our results of our operations, financial position and cash flows through at least the first half of 2023. 3. Recent Agreements: Lacoste In December 2022, we closed a transaction agreement with Lacoste, whereby an exclusive and worldwide license was granted for the production and distribution of Lacoste brand perfumes and cosmetics. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. The license becomes effective in January 2024 and will last for 15 years. Dunhill In April 2022, we announced that the Dunhill fragrance license will expire on September 30, 2023 and will not be renewed. The Company will continue to produce and sell Dunhill fragrances until the license expires and will maintain the right to sell-off remaining Dunhill fragrance inventory for a limited time as is customary in the fragrance industry. Donna Karan and DKNY In September 2021, we entered into a long-term global licensing agreement for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances and fragrance-related products under the Donna Karan and DKNY brands. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. With this agreement, we gained several well-established and valuable fragrance franchises, most notably Donna Karan Cashmere Mist and DKNY Be Delicious , as well as a significant loyal consumer base around the world. In connection with the grant of license, we issued 65,342 shares of Inter Parfums, Inc. common stock valued at $ 5 .0 million to the licensor. The exclusive license became effective July 1, 2022, and we are planning to launch new fragrances under these brands in 2024. Page 7 INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Rochas Fashion Effective January 1, 2021, we entered into a new license agreement modifying our Rochas fashion business model. The new agreement calls for a reduction in royalties to be received. As a result, in the first quarter of 2021, we took a $2.4 million impairment charge on our Rochas fashion trademark. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we again took a $6.8 million impairment charge on the Rochas fashion trademark after an independent expert concluded that the valuation of the trademark was $11.3 million. The new license also contains an option for the licensee to buy-out the Rochas fashion trademarks in June 2025 at its then fair market value. Land and Building Acquisition - New Headquarters in Paris In April 2021, Interparfums SA, our 72 % owned French subsidiary, completed the acquisition of its new headquarters at 10 rue de Solférino in the 7th arrondissement of Paris from the property developer. This is an office complex combining three buildings connected by two inner courtyards, and consists of approximately 40,000 total sq. ft. The purchase price included the complete renovation of the site. As of March 31, 2023, $ 151 million of the purchase price, including approximately $ 4.5 million of acquisition costs, is included in property, equipment and leasehold improvements on the accompanying balance sheet. The purchase price has been allocated approximately $ 62.3 million to land and $ 88.7 million to the building. The building, which was delivered on February 28, 2022, includes the building structure, development of the property, façade waterproofing, general and technical installations and interior fittings that will be depreciated over a range of 7 to 50 years. The Company has elected to depreciate the building cost based on the useful lives of its components. Approximately $ 1.8 million of cash held in escrow is also included in property, equipment and leasehold improvements on the accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 2023. The acquisition was financed by a 10 -year € 120 million (approximately $ 130.5 million) bank loan which bears interest at one-month Euribor plus 0.75% . Approximately € 80 million of the variable rate debt was swapped for variable interest rate debt with a maximum rate of 2 % per annum. The swap effectively exchanges the variable interest rate to a fixed rate of approximately 1.1 %. 4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements: There are no recent accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. 5. Inventories: Inventories consist of the following: (In thousands) March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Raw materials and component parts $ 155,013 $ 146,772 Finished goods 168,687 143,212 Inventories $ 323,700 $ 289,984 Page 8 INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 6. Fair Value Measurement: The following tables present our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2023 Quoted Prices in Significant Other Significant Active Markets for Observable Unobservable Identical Assets Inputs Inputs Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets: Short-term investments $ 88,702 $ 681 $ 87,210 $ 811 Interest rate swaps 6,429 6,429 Foreign currency forward exchange contracts not accounted for using hedge accounting 1,539 — 1,539 — Foreign currency forward exchange contracts accounted for using hedge accounting 339 $ — 339 — Total assets $ 97,010 $ 681 $ 95,517 $ 811 Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2022 Quoted Prices in Significant Other Significant Active Markets for Observable Unobservable Identical Assets Inputs Inputs Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets: Short-term investments $ 150,833 $ 19,861 $ 130,174 $ 798 Interest rate swaps 6,758 — 6,758 — Foreign currency forward exchange contracts accounted for using hedge accounting 1,189 — 1,189 — Total assets $ 158,780 $ 19,861 $ 138,122 $ 798 Liabilities: Foreign currency forward exchange contracts not accounted for using hedge accounting 68 — 68 — Total liabilities $ 68 $ — $ 68 $ — The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents including money market funds, short-term investments, accounts receivable, other receivables, cash held in escrow, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short terms to maturity of these instruments. Page 9 INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The carrying amount of loans payable approximates fair value as the interest rates on the Company’s indebtedness approximate current market rates. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was estimated based on the current rates offered to companies for debt with the same remaining maturities and is approximately equal to its carrying value. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts are valued based on quotations from financial institutions and the value of interest rate swaps are the discounted net present value of the swaps using third party quotes from financial institutions. 7. Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge exposure related to receivables denominated in a foreign currency and occasionally to manage risks related to future sales expected to be denominated in a foreign currency. Before entering into a derivative transaction for hedging purposes, it is determined that a high degree of initial effectiveness exists between the change in value of the hedged item and the change in the value of the derivative instrument from movement in exchange rates. High effectiveness means that the change in the cash flows of the derivative instrument will effectively offset the change in the cash flows of the hedged item. The effectiveness of each hedged item is measured throughout the hedged period and is based on the dollar offset methodology and excludes the portion of the fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contract attributable to the change in spot-forward difference which is reported in current period earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness is also recognized as a gain or loss on foreign currency in the income statement. For hedge contracts that are no longer deemed highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued, and gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings. If it is probable that the forecasted transaction will no longer occur, then any gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to current-period earnings. In December 2022, to finance the acquisition of the Lacoste trademark, the Company entered into a € 50 million ($ 54.4 million) 4 -year term loan with a variable interest rate. This variable rate debt was swapped for variable interest rate debt with a maximum rate of 2 % per annum. This swap is a hedged derivative instrument and is therefore recorded at fair value and changes in fair value are reflected in other comprehensive income. In connection with the April 2021 acquisition of the office building complex in Paris, € 120 million (approximately $ 130.5 million) of the purchase price was financed through a 10 -year term loan. The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts related to € 80 million of the loan, effectively exchanging the variable interest rate to a fixed rate of approximately 1.1 %. This derivative instrument is recorded at fair value and changes in fair value are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Gains and losses in derivatives designated as hedges are accumulated in other comprehensive income and gains and losses in derivatives not designated as hedges are included in (gain) loss on foreign currency on the accompanying income statements. Such gains and losses were immaterial for both the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. All derivative instruments are reported as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet measured at fair value. The valuation of interest rate swaps is included in long-term debt on the accompanying balance sheets. The valuation of foreign currency forward exchange contracts at March 31, 2023, resulted in a net asset and is included in other current assets on the accompanying balance sheet. At March 31, 2023, we had foreign currency contracts in the form of forward exchange contracts in the amount of approximately U.S. $ 37 million which all have maturities of less than one year. Page 10 INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 8. Leases: The Company leases its offices and warehouses, vehicles, and certain office equipment, substantially all of which are classified as operating leases. The Company currently has no material financing leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease assets and obligations are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining lease asset value, the Company considers fixed or variable payment terms, prepayments, incentives, and options to extend or terminate, depending on the lease. Renewal, termination or purchase options affect the lease term used for determining lease asset value only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date for the location in which the lease is held in determining the present value of lease payments. As of March 31, 2023, the weighted average remaining lease term was 5.5 years and the weighted average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liability was 2.6 %. Rental expense related to operating leases was $ 1.4 million and $ 1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Operating lease payments included in operating cash flows totaled $ 1.3 million and $ 1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and there were no noncash additions to operating lease assets for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. 9. Share-Based Payments: The Company maintains a stock option program for key employees, executives and directors. The plans, all of which have been approved by shareholder vote, provide for the granting of both nonqualified and incentive options. Options granted under the plans typically have a six-year term and vest over a four to five -year period. The fair value of shares vested during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 aggregated $ 0.09 million and $ 0.10 million, respectively. Compensation cost, net of forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Forfeitures are estimated based on historic trends. It is generally our policy to issue new shares upon exercise of stock options. The following table sets forth information with respect to nonvested options for the three months ended March 31, 2023: Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Nonvested options – beginning of period 168,730 $ 16.31 Nonvested options granted — — Nonvested options vested or forfeited ( 23,080 ) $ 13.58 Nonvested options – end of period 145,650 $ 16.74 Share-based payment expense decreased income before income taxes by $ 0.63 million and $ 0.65 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and decreased income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. by $ 0.43 million and $ 0.44 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Page 11 INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The following table summarizes stock option information as of March 31, 2023: Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding at January 1, 2023 441,580 $ 67.30 Options forfeited ( 15,480 ) 70.48 Options exercised ( 88,710 ) 55.57 Outstanding at March 31, 2023 337,390 $ 70.24 Options exercisable 191,740 $ 61.38 Options available for future grants 574,455 As of March 31, 2023, the weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding is 3.56 years ( 1.75 years for options exercisable); the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable is $ 24.3 million and $ 15.5 million, respectively; and unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options outstanding aggregated $ 2.4 million. Cash proceeds, tax benefits and intrinsic value related to stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows: (In thousands) March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022 Cash proceeds from stock options exercised $ 4,929 $ 708 Tax benefits 780 75 Intrinsic value of stock options exercised 5,403 635 There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022. Expected volatility is estimated based on historic volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of the option is estimated based on historic data. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant of the option and the dividend yield reflects the assumption that the dividend payout as authorized by the Board of Directors would increase as the earnings of the Company and its stock price continue to increase. In December 2018, Interparfums SA approved a plan to grant an aggregate of 26,600 shares of its stock to employees with no performance condition requirement, and an aggregate of 133,000 shares to officers and managers, subject to certain corporate performance conditions. The corporate performance conditions were met and therefore in June 2022, 211,955 shares, adjusted for stock splits, were distributed. The aggregate cost of the grant of approximately $ 4.8 million was recognized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite three-year service period. In March 2022, Interparfums SA approved an additional plan to grant an aggregate of 88,400 shares to all Interparfums SA employees and corporate officers having more than six months of employment at grant date, subject to certain corporate performance conditions. The shares, subject to adjustment for stock splits, will be distributed in June 2025 and will follow the same guidelines as the December 2018 plan. Page 12 INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The fair value of the grant had been determined based on the quoted stock price of Interparfums SA shares as reported by the Euronext on the date of grant. The estimated number of shares to be distributed of 85,107 has been determined taking into account employee turnover. The aggregate cost of the grant of approximately $ 4.1 million will be recognized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite three and a quarter year service period. Similar to the December 2018 plan, in order to avoid dilution of the Company’s ownership of Interparfums SA, all shares distributed or to be distributed pursuant to these plans will be pre-existing shares of Interparfums SA, purchased in the open market by Interparfums SA. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company acquired 63,281 shares at an aggregate cost of $ 3 .0 million. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company initiated a small share repurchase program, and over the course the course of the first quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased 43,060 shares at a cost of $ 5.58 million . These shares are classified as treasury shares on the accompanying balance sheet. The Company plans to continue repurchasing shares throughout 2023. All share purchases and issuances have been classified as equity transactions on the accompanying balance sheet. 10. Net Income Attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc.
