In one sentence
Interparfums reported revenue of $430 million for Q3 2026, flat from a year earlier (Interparfums, Nov 4, 2026).
| Measure | Q3 2026 | Q3 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $430 million | $430 million | flat |
| Diluted EPS | $2.13 | $2.05 | up 4% |
| Net income | $68.2 million | $65.8 million | up 4% |
The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Interparfums published the results on November 4, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison.
- Interparfums published preliminary third-quarter net sales on October 20, 2026; full results came on November 4, 2026.
- Interparfums owns about 74% of Interparfums SA, its Paris-based subsidiary, so EPS is computed on net income attributable to Interparfums, Inc. after the noncontrolling interest.

IPAR revenue by segment
How Interparfums splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 2026 against Q3 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.
| Net sales by segment | Q3 2026 | Q3 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| European based product sales | $306 million | $295 million | up 4% |
| United States based product sales | $127 million | $137 million | down 7% |
| Eliminations | -$3.7 million | -$2.8 million | n/a |
- Interparfums's European based product sales revenue was $306 million in Q3 2026, up 4% from $295 million in Q3 2025, 71% of total revenue.
- Interparfums's United States based product sales revenue was $127 million in Q3 2026, down 7% from $137 million in Q3 2025, 30% of total revenue.
Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

Past Interparfums quarterly reports
Each quarter keeps its own page with the figures as reported, so a link to one stays pointed at the same numbers after the next report.
- Q3 2026 (this page), reported Nov 4, 2026
What Interparfums's revenue is made of
Interparfums makes and distributes prestige fragrances, mostly under license from brand owners, and reports two segments. In Q3 2026 European based product sales were $305.9 million, up 4%, and United States based product sales $127.3 million, down 7%. After $3.7 million of eliminations, net sales were $429.5 million, flat against $429.6 million. (Interparfums Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 4, 2026)
Interparfums' largest brands made up 77% of 2025 sales: Jimmy Choo 17%, Coach 15%, Montblanc 15%, GUESS 12%, Donna Karan/DKNY 7% and Lacoste 7%. Macy's, the top retail customer, accounted for approximately 10% of 2025 net sales. (Interparfums Form 10-K, 2025, Mar 10, 2026)
In the European based operations, Interparfums said Coach fragrance sales rose 23% in the quarter, Montblanc 12% after flat second-quarter sales, Lacoste 4% and Jimmy Choo 1%. The European segment grew 3% organically, with 1% from new brands, offset by a 1% foreign exchange headwind. (Interparfums Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 4, 2026)
The U.S. based decline came mainly from supply chain disruptions that delayed shipment of giftsets for select brands. Interparfums put the delayed sales at approximately $10 million, to be recognized in the fourth quarter, and said U.S. based sales would have been flat without it. GUESS, the largest U.S. based brand, rose 3%, while Donna Karan/DKNY fell 9%. The war in the Middle East was a 1% headwind to consolidated sales in the quarter. (Interparfums Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 4, 2026)
What Interparfums's EPS includes
Interparfums reports one EPS figure, on a GAAP basis. Q3 2026 diluted EPS was $2.13, up 4% from $2.05. Net income attributable to Interparfums was $68.2 million; another $20.0 million of net income went to the noncontrolling interest in Interparfums SA. (Interparfums Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026; Interparfums Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 4, 2026)
Gross margin rose 360 basis points to 67.1%, which Interparfums attributed to segment, brand and channel mix and lower destruction costs, partly offset by higher tariff expenses. Gross margin also included $7.9 million of one-time IEEPA tariff refunds. SG&A rose to 39.7% of sales from 38.2% on higher brand marketing, royalty costs and logistics costs. (Interparfums Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)
Diluted shares were 32,039 thousand, against 32,149 thousand. In the quarter Interparfums spent about $50 million buying more shares of Interparfums SA under a July 2026 repurchase program, raising its ownership from about 72.5% to 74.3%. (Interparfums Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)
Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.
Consensus and guidance at Interparfums
Interparfums gives annual guidance in its release. With Q3 2026 results it raised its 2026 sales outlook from $1.48 billion to $1.49 billion and kept EPS guidance at $4.85. That EPS figure includes refunds tied to about $17.7 million of IEEPA tariffs paid, of which $16.4 million had been recognized by September 30, 2026. (Interparfums Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)
Interparfums said it is reinvesting the tariff refunds in advertising and expects full-year 2026 A&P spending to approach its long-term target of approximately 21% of net sales. It plans to issue initial 2027 guidance on November 18, 2026. (Interparfums Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)
A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Interparfums, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.
The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

What the quarter means for a holding is a separate question from what it reported. The case for and against owning IPAR is on is IPAR a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the IPAR forecast, and what the company does is on the Inter Parfums, Inc. (IPAR) stock page.
How to check IPAR's figures yourself
Every number on this page can be traced to a document Interparfums published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.
- The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
- The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
- The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
- Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
