Discussing U.S.-based operations, Mr. Madar pointed out, “The comparable quarter increase in third quarter sales reflects a strong performance for specialty retail products in international markets as well as initial shipments of our new Betsey Johnson and bebe fragrance products.”

Russell Greenberg, Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer stated, “Based upon year-to-date sales levels and expectations for the final quarter of this year, we are raising our 2011 sales guidance to approximately $570.0 million, from approximately $550.0 million. Our guidance for net income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. remains at $32.5 million or $1.05 per diluted share due to the high level of advertising and promotional expenses planned for the final quarter of 2011. Guidance assumes the dollar remains at current levels.”
