INTERPARFUMS INC

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K (the “Evaluation Date”). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, could provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below in “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2024.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of Interparfums, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established inInternal Control – Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024, due to the material weaknesses identified below.

• The Company does not have an annual risk assessment process sufficiently designed to identify the risks that could impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. This includes processes to review any previously-recognized risks and identify any potential new risks that could have a material impact on the Company. As a result, the Company could not properly assess if the key controls in place were sufficient to mitigate the risks of material misstatement and the Company could not adequately provide oversight over the testing of management’s internal control over financial reporting.

• The Company did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with its financial reporting requirements. Specifically, the Company did not maintain sufficient documentation to evidence that controls have operated as designed with respect to key financial statement accounts and assertions.

• The Company did not design and maintain effective information technology general controls related to user access at our Interparfums SA subsidiary, which limited management’s ability to rely on technology-dependent controls relevant to the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Despite the finding of these material weaknesses, we have concluded that our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for, the periods presented.

Our independent auditor, Forvis Mazars, LLP, a registered public accounting firm, has issued its report on its audit of our internal control over financial reporting. Forvis Mazars, LLP’s attestation report contains an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. This report appears on page F-2.

Remediation Plan

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated as soon as practicable. The Company plans to engage a third-party firm to assist us with designing and implementing a risk assessment process and establish processes and controls to support an effective control environment. Specifically, we will (i) design and implement effective risk assessment procedures and monitoring activities, (ii) review our current processes, procedures, and systems and assess the design of controls to ensure the key controls address the relevant risks identified by management, (iii) enhance and implement protocols to retain sufficient documentary evidence of operating effectiveness of such controls, and (iv) implement enhanced process controls around user access to information technology systems, including confirming and monitoring appropriate user access levels to applications, programs and data. These actions are intended to enable the Company to more effectively monitor the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

We believe that these actions, collectively, will remediate the material weaknesses identified. However, our material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the related controls are operating effectively. We will continue to monitor the design and effectiveness of these and other processes, procedures, and controls and will make any further changes management deems appropriate.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except as described above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
