ACCOUNTING FIRM

To Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Interparfums, Inc.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Interparfums, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index in Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established inInternal Control – Integrated Framework: (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited the adjustments to the 2023 financial statements to retrospectively apply the change in accounting related to the Company’s adoption of ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures as described in Note 15. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2023 financial statements of the Company other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2023 financial statements taken as a whole.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a 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. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment:

●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 an 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.

These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of auditing procedures applied in our audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in*Internal Control – Integrated Framework: (2013)*issued by the COSO.

**Basis for Opinion **

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of reliable financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

As described in Notes 1 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets were $116.2 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company evaluates indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently when events occur or circumstances change. When testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, the evaluation requires a comparison of the estimated fair value of the asset to the carrying value of the asset. The fair values used in management’s evaluations are estimated based upon discounted future cash flow projections using a weighted average cost of capital.

We have identified the indefinite-lived intangible assets as a critical audit matter. The principal considerations for our determination are (i) the significant judgment used by management when developing the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to estimates of projected future sales and discount rates; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

The procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

●Obtained an understanding of the Company’s valuation model and process for assessing impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets, and evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls relating to the indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment assessments.
●Involved the firm’s valuation specialists to assist in our procedures in evaluating the appropriateness of management's valuation models and assumptions, specifically related tot he weighted average cost of capital (i.e., the discount rate) and long-term growth rate.
●Evaluated the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to projected future sales and cash flows.
●Testing the completeness and accuracy of data used by management in their valuation model, and the mathematical accuracy of management’s valuation model.
