At comparable foreign currency exchange rates, consolidated first quarter net sales increased 27% from the first quarter of 2022.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n \nJean Madar, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Inter Parfums, Inc. noted, \u201cAs we reported last month, our 2023 first quarter was the best ever sales quarter in our history as our European based operations grew the top line by 26% or 29% in constant currency and U.S. based operations by 19%. With respect to European operations, Jimmy Choo brand sales grew 63% and inched out those of Montblanc, historically our largest brand, with the uninterrupted success of the I Want Choo<\/i> line launched in 2021, I Want Choo Forever<\/i> and Rose Passion<\/i>, plus new flankers rolled out at the end of 2022 and early 2023. Montblanc and Coach brand sales rose 28% and 24%, respectively and we achieved double digit sales gains on several of our mid-sized brands including Karl Lagerfeld, Boucheron and Rochas.\u201d<\/p>\n \nMoving on to U.S. based operations, Mr. Madar continued, \u201cThe 19% increase in comparable quarter sales builds upon the 77% increase in sales achieved in last year\u2019s first quarter. As we reported last month, incremental Donna Karan and DKNY sales, plus double-digit growth for Ferragamo and Oscar de la Renta, following successful brand extensions accounted for much of the increase as did brand extensions within established lines for Abercrombie & Fitch and MCM. As previously reported, GUESS sales were unduly hampered by our ERP implementation in the first few months of this year. Add to that, 2022 first quarter GUESS brand sales rose 36%, making for a difficult comparison. However, we have large orders of GUESS goods shipping in the second quarter, as well as the second half, which should make for more compelling comparisons for the year.<\/p>\n \n\u201cThe sales gains achieved in the first quarter encompassed all regions. Our three largest markets, North America, Western Europe and Asia\/Pacific grew sales by 36%, 21% and 8%, respectively. Our sales in Central and South America, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East were also robust, up 43%, 25%, and 5%, respectively. Additionally, our travel retail business has picked up in line with the resumption of international travel. We have also begun to see light at the end of the tunnel with respect to the progressive reopening of China and look forward to meaningful sales growth as the year unfolds.\u201d<\/p>\n \nMichel Atwood, Chief Financial Officer of Inter Parfums, Inc. noted, \u201cGross margin for European operations rose to 67.8% from 66.8% in last year\u2019s first quarter, due to a combination of pricing and a strong U.S. dollar. For United States operations, 2023 first quarter gross profit margin rose to 57.6% from 53.9% in the first quarter of 2022 driven by pricing and limited cost inflation on goods sold driven by first-in, first out (FIFO) accounting. We are also seeing favorable brand and channel mix, as a higher portion of our sales are being sold directly to retailers as opposed to third-party distributors.<\/p>\n \n\u201cBy leveraging scale at our European based operations, our first quarter SG&A expenses only rose 12% from the same period in 2022 and represented 33.6% of net sales, down from 37.9% of net sales in last year\u2019s first quarter. For U.S. based operations, SG&A expenses increased 25% and represented 43.5% of net sales compared to 41.5% in last year\u2019s first quarter. As has been the case since last year, increased promotion and advertising expenses were responsible for the higher SG&A expenses across our Company. Additionally, and in-line with previous quarters, our U.S. based operations is annualizing the impact of enlarging its staff and infrastructure throughout 2022 in multiple locations to maximize the potential of newer brands.\u201d<\/p>\n \nMr. Atwood continued, \u201cOur first quarter operating margin of 29% was very strong due to lower spending. While our big spend on promotion and advertising is generally concentrated in the fourth quarter to encourage year-end sell-through and first quarter reorders, our better-than-expected first quarter sales resulted in advertising and promotion expenses of only 11.3% of net sales, down from 13.6% one year earlier as we continue to be surprised by stronger than expected market growth. By way of comparison, in the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, promotion and advertising expenses were 15.4% and 15.6% of net sales, respectively. On a full-year basis, we continue to target 21% of annual net sales for promotion and advertising expense.<\/p>\n \n\u201cBelow the operating line, other income was favorable overall by $2.3 million as compared to flat in the prior year period, contributing $0.04 to earnings per share. There were several items worth noting. As a result of swings in currency rates, we went from recognizing a gain of $2.2 million on foreign currency in the prior year\u2019s first quarter to a loss of $0.8 million in the current first quarter. On the other hand, interest and investment income, net of interest expense, added over $3 million to other income in the current period as compared to a loss of $2.4 million in the prior year period. On a consolidated basis, our effective income tax rate was 23%, down from 24% in last year\u2019s first quarter.<\/p>\n \n\u201cWe closed the first quarter with working capital of $489 million, including approximately $238 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, bringing our working capital ratio to 2.4 to 1. Our long-term debt totaled $145 million at March 31, 2023, primarily due to the Interparfums SA headquarters acquisition, which was financed by a 10-year, $130.5 million loan, at an effective fixed rate of approximately 1.1%.\u201d<\/p>\n Affirms 2023 Guidance: \n\u201cThe impact of China on our sales is only marginally included in our guidance. We will be in a better position to revisit this subject as that business scales up and we have better visibility. Our current 2023 guidance assumes that the average dollar\/euro average exchange rate remains at current levels and there is no significant resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n Abercrombie & Fitch Distribution Agreement for Fierce <\/i>Collection Announced: \nCommenting Mr. Madar noted, \u201cOur relationship with Abercrombie & Fitch began in 2014, when we signed our initial license agreement. In the ensuing years, we have brought to market several major blockbuster pillars, including First Instinct<\/i>, Away<\/i> and Authentic<\/i>. With close to a decade under our belt, we have earned Abercrombie & Fitch\u2019s confidence, as evidenced by this agreement, entrusting us to distribute the iconic Fierce<\/i> collection on a test basis for three years. Our plans call for growing penetration in existing Fierce<\/i> markets that includes department, specialty and duty-free stores, as well as online sales, while exploring opportunities in untapped markets.\u201d<\/p>\n Dividend: Share Buyback Program: Conference Call: \nA live audio webcast will also be available in the \u201cEvents\u201d tab within the Investor Relations section of the Company\u2019s website at www.interparfumsinc.com<\/a>, or by clicking here<\/a>.
