NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Inter Parfums, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: IPAR) today announced that it is raising its guidance for year ended December 31, 2022, in light of better-than-expected fourth quarter sales.
The Company is now expecting full-year 2022 net sales of $1.08 billion; previous sales guidance was $1.025 billion. With the increase in sales and concurrent operating leverage, diluted earnings per share should approximate $3.60, up from $3.40, the prior estimate. Thus, management is looking for a 23% increase in net sales and a 31% increase in diluted earnings per share as compared to 2021. Inter Parfums plans to announce final 2022 sales on or about January 23, 2023 and full year results on or about February 28, 2023.
Jean Madar, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Inter Parfums, Inc. stated, “The final quarter of the year was exceptionally strong for both our U.S. and European based operations. Indicators and order levels point to a continuation of strong sales growth in 2023, which enables us to also increase our sales guidance for 2023 from $1.11 billion to $1.15 billion and diluted earnings per share from $3.70 to $3.75.”
