Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies

Business of the Company

Interparfums, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) are in the fragrance business and manufacture, market and distribute a wide array of prestige fragrances and fragrance related products.

Substantially all of our prestige fragrance brands are licensed from unaffiliated third parties, and our business is dependent upon the continuation and renewal of such licenses. With respect to the Company’s largest brands, we license the Jimmy Choo, Coach, Montblanc, GUESS, Lacoste, Donna Karan/DKNY, and Ferragamo brand names. As a percentage of net sales, product sales for the Company’s largest brands were as follows:

Donna Karan/DKNY7%7%7%
Ferragamo4%5%5%

Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including 72% owned Interparfums SA, a subsidiary whose stock is publicly traded in France. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Management Estimates

Management makes assumptions and estimates to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those assumptions and estimates directly affect the amounts reported and disclosures included in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those assumptions and estimates. Significant estimates for which changes in the near term are considered reasonably possible and that may have a material impact on the financial statements are disclosed in these notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Translation

For foreign subsidiaries with operations denominated in a foreign currency, assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains and losses from translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity ofthree months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company also has short-term investments which consist of certificates of deposit with maturities greater than three months, marketable equity securities and other contracts. The Company monitors concentrations of credit risk associated with financial institutions with which the Company conducts significant business. The Company believes its credit risk is minimal, as the Company primarily conducts business with large, well-established financial institutions. Substantially all cash and cash equivalents are primarily held at financial institutions outside the United States and are readily convertible into U.S. dollars.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent payments due to the Company for previously recognized net sales, reduced by allowances for doubtful accounts or balances which are estimated to be uncollectible, which aggregated $3.2 million and $2.4 million as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Accounts receivable balances are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when they become uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously recorded against the allowance are recorded in the consolidated statement of income when received. We generally grant credit based upon our analysis of the customer’s financial position, as well as previously established buying patterns.

Inventories

Inventories, including promotional merchandise, only include inventory considered saleable or usable in future periods, and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include raw materials, direct labor and overhead (e.g., indirect labor, utilities, depreciation, purchasing, receiving, inspection and warehousing) as well as inbound freight. Promotional merchandise is charged to cost of sales at the time the merchandise is shipped to the Company’s customers.

Derivatives

All derivative instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. The Company uses derivative instruments to principally manage a variety of market risks. For derivatives designated as hedges of the exposure to changes in fair value of the recognized asset or liability or a firm commitment (referred to as fair value hedges), the gain or loss is recognized in earnings in the period of change together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. The effect of that accounting is to include in earnings the extent to which the hedge is not effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported in equity (as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss of a cash flow hedge is reported in earnings immediately. The Company also holds certain instruments for economic purposes that are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. For these derivative instruments, changes in their fair value are recorded in earnings immediately.

Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for furniture and equipment, which range between three andfifteen years. Depreciation on buildings and leasehold improvements is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful asset lives, which range between seven andfifty years. Depreciation provided on equipment used to produce inventory, such as tools and molds, is included in cost of sales.

Long-Lived Assets

Indefinite-lived intangible assets principally consist of trademarks which are not amortized. 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, such as an unexpected decline in sales, that would more-likely-than-not indicate that the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable. 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 our evaluations are estimated based upon discounted future cash flow projections using a weighted average cost of capital of 8.34% and 9.47% in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The cash flow projections are based upon a number of assumptions, including future sales levels, future cost of goods and operating expense levels, as well as economic conditions, changes to our business model or changes in consumer acceptance of our products which are more subjective in nature. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.

Intangible assets subject to amortization principally consist of licenses and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the license term or estimated economic life, ranging from three tothirty-eight years. Intangible assets subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment testing whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an amortizable intangible asset may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators exist for an amortizable intangible asset, the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the expected service potential of the asset are compared to the carrying value of the asset. If our projection of undiscounted future cash flows is in excess of the carrying value of the intangible asset, no impairment charge is recorded. If our projection of undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the intangible asset, an impairment charge would be recorded to reduce the intangible asset to its fair value.

Revenue Recognition

The Company sells its products to department stores, perfumeries, specialty stores and domestic and international wholesalers and distributors. Our revenue contracts represent single performance obligations to sell our products to customers. Sales of such products by our domestic subsidiaries are denominated in U.S. dollars, and sales of such products by our foreign subsidiaries are primarily denominated in either euro or U.S. dollars. Our product revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the promised goods is transferred to customers based on agreed upon shipping terms, which usually occurs upon shipment. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods. Net sales are comprised of gross revenues less incentives to customers such as returns, trade discounts and allowances, which give rise to variable consideration. The Company does not bill its customers for freight and handling charges. The Company grants credit to all qualified customers and does not believe it is exposed significantly to any undue concentration of credit risk. Macy's, our top retail customer, accounted for approximately 10% of net sales in 2025 and 12% of net sales in 2024 and 2023 respectively.

Sales Returns

Generally, the Company does not permit customers to return their unsold products. However, for U.S. based customers, we allow returns if properly requested, authorized and approved. The Company regularly reviews and revises, as deemed necessary, its estimate of reserves for future sales returns based primarily upon historic trends and relevant current data including information provided by retailers regarding their inventory levels. In addition, as necessary, specific accruals may be established for significant future known or anticipated events. The types of known or anticipated events that we consider include, but are not limited to, the financial condition of our customers, store closings by retailers, changes in the retail environment and our decision to continue to support new and existing products. The Company records its estimate of potential sales returns as a reduction of sales and cost of sales with corresponding entries to accrued expenses, to record the refund liability, and inventory, for the right to recover goods from the customer. The refund liability associated with estimated returns was $12.2 million and $10.8 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the amounts recognized for the rights to recover products was $4.7 million and $4.1 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The physical condition and marketability of returned products are the major factors we consider in estimating realizable value. Actual returns, as well as estimated realizable values of returned products, may differ significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from our estimates, if factors such as economic conditions, inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from our expectations.

Payments to Customers

The Company records revenues generated from purchase with purchase and gift with purchase promotions as sales and the costs of its purchase with purchase and gift with purchase promotions as cost of sales. Certain other incentive arrangements require the payment of a fee to customers based on their attainment of pre-established sales levels. These fees have been recorded as a reduction of net sales.

Advertising and Promotion

Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and recorded as a component of cost of goods sold (in the case of free goods given to customers) or selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising and promotional costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $294.7 million, $280.5 million and $261.3 million for 2025,2024 and 2023, respectively. Costs relating to purchase with purchase and gift with purchase promotions that are reflected in cost of sales aggregated $54.6 million, $61.5 million and $52.3 million in 2025,2024 and 2023, respectively.

Package Development Costs

Package development costs associated with new products and redesigns of existing product packaging are expensed as incurred.

Operating 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 hasno 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.

License Agreements

The Company’s license agreements generally provide the Company with worldwide rights to manufacture, market and sell prestige fragrances and fragrance related products using the licensors’ trademarks. The licenses typically have an initial term of approximately 5 to 15 years and are potentially renewable subject to the Company’s compliance with the license agreement provisions. The remaining terms, excluding potential renewal periods, range from approximately 1 to 23 years. Under each license, the Company is required to pay royalties in the range of 6% to 11% to the licensor, at least annually, based on net sales to third parties.

In certain cases, the Company may pay an entry fee to acquire, or enter into, a license where the licensor or another licensee was operating a pre-existing fragrance business. In those cases, the entry fee is capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over its useful life.

Most license agreements require minimum royalty payments, incremental royalties based on net sales levels and minimum spending on advertising and promotional activities. Royalty expenses are accrued in the period in which net sales are recognized while advertising and promotional expenses are accrued at the time these costs are incurred.

In addition, the Company is exposed to certain concentration risk. Most of our prestige fragrance brands are licensed from unaffiliated third parties, and our business is dependent upon the continuation and renewal of such licenses.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. The net deferred tax assets assume sufficient future earnings for their realization, as well as the continued application of currently enacted tax rates. Included in net deferred tax assets is a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, where management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the relevant jurisdiction. If the Company determines that a deferred tax asset will not be realizable, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset will result in a reduction of net earnings at that time. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax asset or liability in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Issuance of Common Stock by Consolidated Subsidiary

The difference between the Company’s share of the proceeds received by the subsidiary and the carrying amount of the portion of the Company’s investment deemed sold, is reflected as an equity adjustment in the consolidated balance sheets.

Treasury Stock

The Board of Directors has authorized share repurchases of the Company’s common stock (Share Repurchase Authorizations). Share repurchases under Share Repurchase Authorizations are made through open market transactions, negotiated purchase or otherwise, at times and in such amounts within the parameters authorized by the Board. Shares repurchased under Share Repurchase Authorizations are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under various employee stock option plans. Treasury shares are accounted for under the cost method and reported as a reduction of equity. Share Repurchase Authorizations may be suspended, limited or terminated at any time without notice.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU includes amendments requiring enhanced income tax disclosures, primarily related to standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and shall be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. The Company adopted the ASU as of December 31, 2025 and applied its provisions prospectively (See Note 15).

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued 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 2024-04. 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.

There are no other recent accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

Correction of Immaterial Misstatements in Prior Period Financial Statements

During the year ended December 31, 2025, management identified a misclassification in the presentation of deferred tax asset within the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the Company's previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Specifically, certain amounts previously presented in Deferred tax asset should have been presented in Other current assets as prepaid tax.

The Company evaluated the misclassification under ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, and considered both quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing materiality, including the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No.99, Materiality, and SAB No.108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. Management concluded that misclassification was not material to any of the Company's previously issued consolidated financial statements for the affected periods. However, management further concluded that revising the affected prior-period presentation in the current period is appropriate to ensure comparability.

As a result, the Company has revised the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The revision impacted only the presentation within the consolidated financial statements and did not impact the Company's previously reported net income, income from operations, total operating, investing, or financing cash flows, total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders' equity for the period presented.

The following table presents a summary of the effect of correcting this error on the Company's previously issued financial statements:

Consolidated Balance SheetAs previously reportedAdjustmentAs revised
(in thousands)
Other current assets27,03511,56938,604
Total current assets914,83211,569926,401
Deferred tax assets17,034(11,569)5,465

The Company revised the Statement of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 to reflect the reduction in adjustments to reconcile net income for Deferred tax benefit and the reduction of cash inflows related to Other assets in the amounts of $1.3 million, respectively. The revisions did not impact the total cash flows or total net cash provided by operating activities for either period.

Amounts within Note 15 - Income Taxes were also revised to correct the previously presented Effect of inventory profit elimination and net deferred tax assets for the year ended December 31, 2024.

(In thousands)December 31, 2025December 31, 2024
Raw materials and component parts$129,706$137,572
Finished goods221,671234,348
$351,377$371,920

Overhead included in inventory aggregated $6.5 million and $6.1 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Included in inventories is an inventory reserve, which represents the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated net realizable value, based upon sales forecasts and the physical condition of the inventories. In addition, and as necessary, specific reserves for future known or anticipated events may be established. Inventory reserves aggregated $24.9 million and $18.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(4)Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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 hasthree levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents including money market funds, short-term investments including marketable equity securities, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the short terms to maturity of these instruments. 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 is the discounted net present value of the swaps using third party quotes from financial institutions.

(5)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 (approximately $58.8 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 other comprehensive income.

In connection with the April 2021 acquisition of the office building complex in Paris, €120 million (approximately $141.0 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 (loss) 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 in each of the years in thethree-year period ended December 31, 2025.

All derivative instruments are reported as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet measured at fair value. The valuation of interest rate swaps is included in long-term debt on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The valuation of foreign currency forward exchange contracts at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, resulted in an asset and is included in other current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had foreign currency contracts in the form of forward exchange contracts with notional amounts of approximately U.S. $64 million which all have maturities of less than one year.

Amortization expense was $14.4 million, $13.6 million and $7.5 million in 2025,2024 and 2023, respectively. Amortization expense is expected to approximate $12.2 million in 2026, $12.0 million in 2027, $11.3 million in 2028, $10.8 million in 2029, and $10.4 million in 2030. The weighted average amortization period for trademarks, licenses and other intangible assets with finite lives are 18 years,15.5 years and 2.5 years, respectively, and 14.8 years on average.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the majority of the change in gross amount of trademarks with indefinite lives was related to the acquisition of all intellectual property rights of Goutal Paris in March 2025.

The Company reviews intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. There was an impairment charge for trademarks with indefinite useful lives of $4.0 million in 2024, relating to our Rochas fashion business. There wereno impairment charges for trademarks with indefinite useful lives in 2025 and 2023. The fair values used in our evaluations are estimated based upon discounted future cash flow projections using a weighted average cost of capital of 8.34%,9.47%, and 10.39% as of December 31, 2025,2024 and 2023, respectively. The cash flow projections are based upon a number of assumptions, including future sales levels and future cost of goods and operating expense levels, as well as economic conditions, changes to our business model or changes in consumer acceptance of our products which are more subjective in nature. The Company believes that the assumptions it has made in projecting future cash flows for the evaluations described above are reasonable and currently no other impairment indicators exist for our indefinite-lived assets. However, if future actual results do not meet our expectations, the Company may be required to record an impairment charge, the amount of which could be material to our results of operations.

The cost of trademarks, licenses and other intangible assets with finite lives is being amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the respective license or the intangible assets estimated useful life which range from three to thirty years. If the residual value of a finite life intangible asset exceeds its carrying value, then the asset is not amortized. The Company reviews intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Trademarks (finite lives) primarily represent Lanvin brand names and trademarks. In connection with their purchase, Lanvin was granted the right to repurchase the brand names and trademarks on July 1, 2027 for €70 million (approximately $82.3 million), representing the residual value, in accordance with an amendment signed in 2021. Because the residual value of the intangible asset exceeds its carrying value, the asset is not being amortized.

(11)Commitments

Leases

The Company leases offices, warehouses and vehicles, 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 December 31, 2025, the weighted average remaining lease term was 3.5 years and the weighted average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liability was 3.2%. Rental expense related to operating leases was $7.1 million, $6.5 million, and $5.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025,2024 and 2023, respectively. Operating lease payments included in operating cash flows totaled $7.0 million, $6.1 million, and $5.3 million in 2025,2024, and 2023, respectively. Noncash additions to operating lease assets totaled $0.8 million, $2.5 million, and $4.8 million in 2025,2024, and 2023, respectively.

Maturities of lease liabilities subsequent to December 31, 2025 are as follows:

License Agreements

The Company is party to a number of licenses and other agreements for the use of trademarks and rights in connection with the manufacture and sale of its products expiring at various dates through 2038. In connection with certain of these license agreements, the Company is subject to minimum annual advertising commitments, minimum annual royalties and other commitments as follows:

2026$378,484
2027355,078

2029320,429
2030275,121
Thereafter1,308,933
$2,976,914

Future advertising commitments are estimated based on planned future sales for the license terms that were in effect at December 31, 2025, without consideration for potential renewal periods. The above figures do not reflect the fact that our distributors share our advertising obligations. Royalty expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses, aggregated $121.7 million, $117.8 million and $103.8 million in 2025,2024 and 2023, respectively, and represented 8.2%,8.1% and 7.9% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2025,2024 and 2023, respectively.

(12)Equity

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 asix-year term and vest over afour tofive-year period. The fair value of shares vested aggregated $0.8 million, $1.2 million and $1.2 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Forfeitures are estimated based on historic trends.

At December 31, 2025, options for 410,380 shares were available for future grant under the plans. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding is $0.1 million as of December 31, 2025 and unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options outstanding aggregated $3.3 million, which will be recognized over the next five years.

The weighted average fair values of options granted by Interparfums, Inc. during 2025,2024 and 2023 were $20.51, $33.31 and $35.08 per share, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value.

The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model are set forth in the following table:

Year Ended December 31,
202520242023
Weighted average expected stock-price volatility31%30%29%
Weighted average expected option life4.3 years4.4 years4.0 years
Weighted average risk-free interest rate3.7%4.4%3.8%
Weighted average dividend yield2.7%2.3%2.0%

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 maintain its current payout ratio as a percentage of earnings.

Proceeds, tax benefits and intrinsic value related to stock options exercised were as follows:

In March 2022, Interparfums SA, our 72% owned French subsidiary, approved a plan to grant an aggregate of 88,400 shares to all Interparfums SA employees and corporate officers having more thansix months of employment at grant date, subject to certain corporate performance conditions. The corporate performance conditions were met and therefore in June 2025,106,046 shares, adjusted for stock splits, were distributed.

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 aggregate cost of the grant of approximately $4.2 million was recognized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite three and a quarter year service period.

In order to avoid dilution of the Company’s ownership of Interparfums SA, all shares distributed or to be distributed pursuant to this plan were pre-existing shares of Interparfums SA, purchased in the open market by Interparfums SA. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had acquired 106,046 shares at an aggregate cost of $4.5 million.

In December 2025, Interparfums SA, approved a new performance-based free share plan to grant an aggregate of 137,900 shares to all Interparfums SA employees and corporate officers who are employed as of the final vesting date of March 1, 2029, subject to certain corporate performance conditions. The fair value of the grant was determined based on the quoted stock price of Interparfums SA shares as reported by the Euronext on the date of the grant, adjusted for expected dividends over the vesting period and for performance conditions. Based on the expected retention rate and probability of achieving performance conditions, the total estimated expense for the plan is approximately $2.3 million (€2 million), recognized on a straight-line basis over the 3.25 year vesting period. In order to avoid dilution of the Company’s ownership of Interparfums SA, all shares to be distributed pursuant to this plan will be pre-existing shares of Interparfums SA, purchased in the open market by Interparfums SA. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has not acquired any shares.

All share purchases and issuances have been classified as equity transactions on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

(13)Net Income Attributable to Interparfums, Inc. Common Shareholders

Net income attributable to Interparfums, Inc. per common share (“basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to Interparfums, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Net income attributable to Interparfums, Inc. per share assuming dilution (“diluted EPS”), is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding, plus the incremental shares outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method.

The reconciliation between the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations is as follows:

(14)Segments and Geographic Areas

Operating and reportable segments ("segments") reflect the way the Company is managed and for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company's CODM is the founders of Interparfums, Inc. which includes the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Interparfums, Inc. and the President of Interparfums, Inc. and Chief Executive Officer of Interparfums SA. The Company manufactures and distributesone product line, fragrances and fragrance related products. The Company manages its business intwo segments, European based operations and United States based operations. The European based operations, assets and business operations are primarily conducted in France, and include the results and assets of Interparfums Luxury Brands, Inc., located in the United States. For United States based operations, assets and business operations are primarily conducted in the United States, and include the results and assets of Interparfums Italia Srl, located in Italy. Both European based operations and United States based operations primarily represent the sale of prestige brand name fragrances.

The accounting policies for the Company's reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources based on gross margin and income from operations. Segment gross margin and segment income from operations include intersegment revenues and expenses. For both segments, the CODM used these measures in theannual budgeting and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis for both profit measures when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments and in determining the compensation of employees. The CODM also uses segment gross margin for evaluating product pricing, customer and product mix, cost optimization, and marketing strategies and used segment income from operations to assess the performance and relative profitability of each segment by comparing the results of each segment withone another.
