Inter Parfums (IPAR) Readies for Q2 Earnings: Things to Note
Inter Parfums, Inc. IPAR is likely to register bottom-line growth when it reports second-quarter 2022 earnings on Aug 9. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings has jumped from 73 cents to 98 cents a share in the past 30 days, indicating a 38% surge from the figure reported in the prior-year quarter. This fragrances and related products company has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 41.4%, on average. IPAR delivered an earnings surprise of roughly 17% in the last reported quarter.
Inter Parfums is on track to expand its business through new licenses or acquisitions. The company has been gaining from its strategic partnerships and product launches. Inter Parfums concluded its agreement with G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. to become the exclusive worldwide licensee for the Donna Karan and DKNY fragrance brands, effective Jul 1, 2022. In December 2021, Inter Parfums signed a 10-year exclusive global licensing agreement with Emanuel Ungaro through its subsidiary, Interparfums Italia. In October 2021, Inter Parfums finalized the agreement with Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A. Per the agreement, IPAR now holds the exclusive worldwide license for the production and distribution of Salvatore Ferragamo brand perfumes. These alliances have been working well for the company.
However, the company has been facing several challenges, including inflation, supply-chain disruptions, lockdowns, store closures, transportation issues, sanctions and currency headwinds. Apart from these, the slow recovery of international travel, logistics challenges in the United States and the war in Eastern Europe have been hurdles.
