Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased 2 % from three months ended June 30, 2025 . The average dollar/euro exchange rate for the current second quarter was 1.16 compared to 1.13 in the second quarter of 2025, resulting in a positive foreign exchange impact on net sales of 1% in the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the prior year period. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased 2 % as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 . The average dollar/euro exchange rate for the first six months of 2026 was 1.17 compared to 1.09 in the first six months of 2025, resulting in a positive foreign exchange impact on net sales of 3% in the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the prior year period. The diversity of our overall brand portfolio again showed its strength as we saw strong growth from several of our larger brands which helped offset softness in other brands and geographies. The war in the Middle East, which again weighed on our results, represented a headwind of 3% in the second quarter and 2% for the first six months of the year. Excluding this effect, organic sales increased 4% in the second quarter of 2026 and 1% for the first six months of the year.Now
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2026 remained flat compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025 . The average dollar/euro exchange rate for the current third quarter was 1.15 compared to 1.17 in the third quarter of 2025, resulting in a negative foreign exchange impact on net sales of 0.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the prior year period. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased 1 % as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025 . The average dollar/euro exchange rate for the first nine months of 2026 was 1.16 compared to 1.12 in the first nine months of 2025, resulting in a positive foreign exchange impact on net sales of 2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the prior year period. Sales by European based operations were especially strong, which helped to offset weaker performance by United States based operations following an exceptional period of growth in the second quarter 2026. The ongoing war in the Middle East represented a headwind of 1% and 2% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, respectively.For European based operations, sales in the three months ended September 30, 2026 increased 4%, compared to…

For European based operations, sales in the three months ended September 30, 2026 increased 4%, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, reflecting organic growth of 3% and a 1% contribution from new brands, partially offset by a 1% foreign exchange headwind. Coach fragrances have delivered outstanding performance so far in 2026, with sales rising by 23% and 15% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, respectively. The brand continues to benefit from its immense popularity in the United States, the strength of the established women's and men's lines, and the success of the two new line extensions launched earlier this year. Montblanc fragrance sales returned to growth, increasing 12% in the third quarter after flat second quarter sales, producing 8% growth for the first nine months of 2026, driven by the success of Montblanc Legend Elixir and Montblanc Explorer Infinite , launched in the first and third quarters, respectively. Jimmy Choo fragrance sales rose 1% in the third quarter of 2026, leading to 5% growth in the first nine months of 2026. The brand's sustained performance was driven by the continued success of the I Want Choo and Jimmy Choo Man franchises, supported by several line extensions launched over the past twelve months, including I Want Choo Midnight , which launched in the third quarter. Lacoste fragrance sales returned to growth in the third quarter, rising 4%, driven by Original Intense , the newest women's launch in the Original franchise. This improvement followed a challenging first half of 2026, which reflected a strong prior-year comparison due to strong innovation and softer conditions in Eastern Europe, where the brand has a strong presence. While year-to-date sales declined 9%, the third-quarter performance is encouraging as we look ahead to major developments planned for 2027 and beyond.For United States based operations, sales in the three months ended September 30, 2026 decreased 7% compared…

For United States based operations, sales in the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased 18% compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, which included a 1% positive foreign exchange impact, reflecting organic growth of 17% off a high base in 2025. The strong second quarter resulted in an increase in sales in the six months ended June 30, 2026 of 10% compared to the prior year period. This included 8% organic growth and a 2% favorable foreign exchange impact. GUESS fragrance sales rose 10% and 11% in the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. This growth was driven by the ongoing success of the Iconic franchise, supported by the second quarter launch of Iconic Blue , the newest men's extension within the franchise. Second quarter growth was also supported by the launch of the newest Amore extension, Amore Napoli. Donna Karan/DKNY fragrance sales increased 28% and 12% in the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The Brand's sales growth reflected healthy consumer demand across product categories, fragrance franchises, and strengthening momentum across e-commerce channels. Ferragamo fragrance sales increased 41% and 17% in the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. This growth, helped by a weaker prior period comparison, was primarily driven by overall strength of the Signorina line supported by the successful launch of Signorina Romantica , and the Ferragamo line, supported by the launch of Ferragamo Sublime Leather . However, Roberto Cavalli fragrance sales declined 9% in the second quarter of 2026 against a very high base of 23% growth in the prior year period and a challenging macro-economic environment in the Middle East which is the brand's largest market. Despite this challenging macro environment, sales in the six month ended June 30, 2026 increased 8% compared to the prior year period, driven…Now
For United States based operations, sales in the three months ended September 30, 2026 decreased 7% compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, driven largely by supply chain disruptions that resulted in the delayed shipment of giftsets for select brands. These delays represented approximately $10 million in sales, which will now be recognized in the fourth quarter. Excluding this impact, sales would have been flat. Year-to-date sales grew 3% in 2026, driven by 2% organic growth and a favorable foreign exchange impact of 1%. Excluding the impact of the delayed giftset shipments, sales would have increased 6%. Fragrance sales of GUESS, our largest United States based brand, rose by 3% and 7% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, respectively. Growth was driven by the continuing success of the Iconic franchise which was enhanced by the launches of two new extensions earlier this year, as well as extensions launched for the Amore and Seductive franchises. Donna Karan/DKNY fragrance sales declined 9% during the third quarter following double digit growth in the second quarter of 2026. The third quarter sales decline was driven by innovation phasing and giftset shipment delays. Brand sales grew 4% in the first nine months of the year. Ferragamo fragrance sales declined 22% in the third quarter due to innovation phasing but were only down 2% on a year-to-date basis. The brand was impacted by challenging market conditions in Europe, which is the core region for the brand. Roberto Cavalli fragrance sales increased 4% and 6% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, respectively, despite a difficult macro-economic environment in the Middle East, the brand's largest market, and exceptionally high prior year growth comparisons. The brand's growth this year has been driven by the enduring popularity of last year's blockbuster Serpentine launch, as well as brand extensions released earlier in 2026, and the partnership with Kiko Milano.Our global brand portfolio and diverse fragrances enable us to reach a wide range of consumers and pursue…

The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 51.2 % and 47.4 % for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to 48.5 % and 45.0 % for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 . The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales in both the quarter and six month period resulted from marketing investments in brands, royalty costs growing ahead of sales driven by unfavorable brand mix as well higher logistics costs related to supply chain transitions and channel mix.Now
The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 39.7% and 44.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to 38.2% and 42.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the quarter and for the first nine month period resulted from higher employee related costs, unfavorable royalty brand mix impacts and higher logistics costs due to supply chain transitions and higher costs of transportation. For the nine-month period, the increase was also driven by higher marketing investments.For European based operations, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 5.4% and 7.2% for the…

For European based operations, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7.5 % and increased 8.1 % for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 , respectively as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, and represented 53.9 % and 47.4 % of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 , as compared to 48.2 % and 43.4 % for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 . The increase in expenses for both periods was largely driven by higher marketing expenses due to the timing of product launches in the second quarter of 2026 as well as investments behind the brands. Royalty costs also grew ahead of sales driven by unfavorable brand mix. Employee related costs expanded as we are building up our Korean subsidiary, and we also saw higher logistics costs related to increased warehouse fees and supply chain transitions. For United States based operations, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8.6 % and increased 5.6 % for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 , respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, below sales increases, and represented 44.2 % and 46.0 % of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 , as compared to 48.0 % and 47.8 % for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 . Despite higher selling, general and administrative investments overall, the decrease as a percentage of net sales in the three and six month periods were driven by productivity gains behind the accelerated sales growth, which were partially offset by unfavorable brand mix on royalty expenses.Now
For European based operations, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 5.4% and 7.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, and represented 37.8% and 43.7% of net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to 37.2% and 41.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in expenses for both periods was largely driven by Royalty costs growing ahead of sales due to unfavorable brand mix. Employee related costs expanded as we are building up our Korean subsidiary, and we also saw higher logistics costs related to supply chain transitions and rising fuel costs. Marketing expenses also grew ahead of sales for the nine month period driven by product launch timing. For United States based operations, selling, general and administrative expenses were flat in the quarter and increased 3.6% for nine months ended September 30, 2026, and represented 42.9% and 44.8% of net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to 39.7% and 44.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. SG&A as a percentage is up in the third quarter, driven by lower fixed cost absorption due to lower sales. SG&A was also impacted by unfavorable brand mix on royalties and higher logistics costs due to supply chain transitions and rising fuel costs.On August 12, 2026, the Company entered into a €200 million senior secured credit facility with a syndicate…

In July 2025, we announced that our 72 % owned French subsidiary, Interparfums SA, signed an exclusive license agreement with Longchamp, a Parisian Maison, through December 31, 2036 . Interparfums SA will be responsible for the creation, development, production and distribution of fragrance lines in Longchamp-brand points of sale and selective distribution channels. The first launch is expected in 2027. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry.
In March 2025, we announced that our 72 % owned French subsidiary, Interparfums SA, acquired all intellectual property rights relating to Goutal Paris held by Amorepacific Europe. In January 2026, Interparfums SA began commercial use of the fragrance brand.
In 2015, Coach and Interparfums SA signed an exclusive worldwide license agreement for the creation, the manufacturing and the distribution of fragrances under the Coach brand until June 30, 2026. In March 2025, the license agreement was renewed for an additional 5 -year term, extending the license through June 30, 2031 .
Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister
In March 2025, we expanded our Fierce distribution agreement, which now allows for a global distribution of the iconic Fierce fragrance line that either party may terminate on two year 's notice. Furthermore, our existing Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister fragrance license agreement will expire on March 14, 2028 . The goal of the updated Fierce distribution agreement is to drive, over time, more consistency between the products that are carried in the Abercrombie & Fitch stores and unaffiliated retailers.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The ASU requires, among other things, more detailed disclosures about types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses and is intended to improve the disclosures about an entity's expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. ASU 2024-03 will also require the Company to disclose both the amount and the Company's definition of selling expenses. The guidance, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025 ‑ 09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements. The guidance makes targeted amendments to the hedge accounting model to better align the accounting with an entity's risk management activities and to clarify the application of certain hedge accounting requirements. The amendments are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its hedge accounting policies and disclosures; however, the Company does not expect adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements ("ASU 2025-11"). This update clarifies the applicability, form and content, and interim disclosure requirements in ASC Topic 270 and enhances navigability of the interim reporting guidance. ASU 2025-11 also establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2025-11 will have on its interim consolidated financial statements.
There are no other recent accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Financial Instruments:
Fair Value Hedges (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, we determine 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 contracts designated as hedges 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 (approximately $ 56.8 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 the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
In connection with the April 2021 acquisition of the office building complex in Paris, € 120 million (approximately $ 136.3 million) of the purchase price was financed through a 10 -year variable rate 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. We recorded a gain of $ 0.3 million and $ 1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Gains and losses in derivatives not designated as hedges are included in loss on foreign currency in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. We recorded a loss of $ 0.7 million and a gain of $ 0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30 , 2026 and 2025 , respectively.
All derivative instruments are reported as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet measured at fair value. The fair value of interest rate swaps includes a liability position, which is included in long-term debt on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and an asset position, which is included in other current assets and other assets on the accompanying balance sheet. The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts at September 30 , 2026 , resulted in a net liability and is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
At September 30 , 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had foreign currency contracts in the form of forward exchange contracts with notional amounts of approximately USD $ 42 million and USD $ 64 million, respectively, all of which have maturities of less than one year .
Net Investment Hedges (Non-Derivative Financial Instruments)
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk associated with its net investment in certain foreign operations. The Company uses euro-denominated borrowings to manage a portion of the foreign currency exposure associated with its net investment in Interparfums SA ("IPSA"), whose functional currency is the euro.
As of September 30, 2026 , the Company had € 55.0 million ($ 62.5 million) of euro-denominated borrowings outstanding under its € 200 million senior secured credit facility. The Company designated € 55.0 million of these borrowings as nonderivative hedging instruments in net investment hedges of corresponding portions of the Company's net investment in IPSA.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses attributable to the qualifying designated borrowings are recognized in the cumulative translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive income rather than in current-period earnings. Such amounts remain in accumulated other comprehensive income until the applicable reclassification requirements associated with the hedged net investment are met.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 , the Company recognized $ 1.4 million of unrealized foreign currency gain associated with the designated net investment hedges in foreign currency translation adjustments in the accompanying statement of comprehensive income. No amounts were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings during the periods presented.

Overall, other income and expense for the six nine months ended June September 30, 2026 , was a gain of $ 0.4 million effectively nil as compared to a loss of $ 6.7 7.7 million in the corresponding prior year period.

Our effective tax rate for United States based operations differs from the 21% statutory rate in the United States as it is a blended rate across multiple jurisdictions, and takes into account benefits received from the exercise of stock options as well as deductions we are allowed for a portion of our foreign-derived deduction-eligible income, slightly offset by state and local taxes. Other than as discussed above, we did not experience any significant changes in tax rates, and none were expected in jurisdictions where we operate. We also did not have any material discreet tax items this quarter nor significant changes in uncertain tax positions, valuation allowances, tax examinations, or enacted law changes.
