Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Significant Accounting Policies:

The accounting policies we follow are set forth in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, ~~2016. We also discuss such policies in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in this Form 10-Q.~~2022.

~~Recent Accounting Pronouncements:~~Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic:

~~In August 2017,~~Our business has continued to significantly improve throughout 2022 and the ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) to improve accounting for hedging activities. The objective~~first quarter of 2023 after the disastrous effects of the ~~ASU is~~COVID-19 Pandemic starting in early 2020, as retail stores reopened, and consumers increased online purchasing. The introduction of variants of COVID-19 in various parts of the world continues to ~~improve~~cause the ~~financial reporting~~temporary re-implementation of ~~hedging relationships~~governmental restrictions to prevent further spread of the virus. In addition, international air travel remains curtailed in ~~order~~several jurisdictions due to ~~better portray~~both governmental restrictions and consumer health concerns. While COVID-19 had significantly restricted international travel, the ~~economic results~~travel retail business has picked up. Lastly, we have experienced significant strains on our supply chain causing disruptions affecting the procurement of ~~an entity’s risk management activities~~components, the ability to transport goods, and related cost increases. These disruptions have come at a time when demand for our product lines has never been stronger or more sustained. We have been addressing this issue since the beginning of 2021, by ordering well in ~~its financial statements~~advance of need and in larger quantities. Since 2021, we have strived to ~~make certain targeted improvements~~carry more inventory overall, source the same components from multiple suppliers and when possible, manufacture products closer to ~~simplify~~where they are sold. We do not expect the ~~application~~supply chain bottlenecks to begin lifting until the second half of ~~hedge accounting guidance. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the standard to determine~~2023. Therefore, despite recent business improvement, the impact of ~~its adoption on our consolidated financial statements.~~

~~In August 2016,~~ the ~~FASB issued an ASU~~COVID-19 pandemic might continue to eliminate the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. We have ~~evaluated the standard and determined that there will be no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.~~

In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases on the balance sheet. This ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 using a modified retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of its adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued an ASU that requires all deferred tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. This ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In January 2017, the Company adopted the standard retrospectively, which resulted in reclassifications among accounts on the consolidated balance sheet, but had no other impactadverse effects on our results of our operations, financial ~~condition or~~position and cash ~~flows.~~ flows through at least the first half of 2023.

Recent Agreements:

Lacoste

In December 2022, we closed a transaction agreement with Lacoste, whereby an exclusive and worldwide license was granted for the production and distribution of Lacoste brand perfumes and cosmetics. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. The ~~effect~~license becomes effective in January 2024 and will last for 15 years.

Dunhill

In April 2022, we announced that the Dunhill fragrance license will expire on September 30, 2023 and will not be renewed. The Company will continue to produce and sell Dunhill fragrances until the license expires and will maintain the right to sell-off remaining Dunhill fragrance inventory for a limited time as is customary in the fragrance industry.

Donna Karan and DKNY

In September 2021, we entered into a long-term global licensing agreement for the creation, development and distribution of fragrances and fragrance-related products under the ~~adoption on prior periods was~~Donna Karan and DKNY brands. Our rights under this license are subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. With this agreement, we gained several well-established and valuable fragrance franchises, most notably Donna Karan Cashmere Mist and DKNY Be Delicious, as well as a ~~reclassification from current assets~~significant loyal consumer base around the world. In connection with the grant of license, we issued 65,342 shares of Inter Parfums, Inc. common stock valued at $5.0 million to ~~noncurrent assets of approximately $8 million.~~the licensor. The exclusive license became effective July 1, 2022, and we are planning to launch new fragrances under these brands in 2024.

~~In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which superseded the most current revenue recognition requirements. This~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Rochas Fashion

Effective January 1, 2021, we entered into a new ~~revenue recognition standard requires entities to recognize revenue~~license agreement modifying our Rochas fashion business model. The new agreement calls for a reduction in ~~a way that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects~~royalties to be ~~entitled to~~received. As a result, in ~~exchange for those goods or services.~~the first quarter of 2021, we took a $2.4 million impairment charge on our Rochas fashion trademark. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we again took a $6.8 million impairment charge on the Rochas fashion trademark after an independent expert concluded that the valuation of the trademark was $11.3 million. The new ~~standard~~license also contains an option for the licensee to buy-out the Rochas fashion trademarks in June 2025 at its then fair market value.

Land and Building Acquisition - New Headquarters in Paris

In April 2021, Interparfums SA, our 72% owned French subsidiary, completed the acquisition of its new headquarters at 10 rue de Solférino in the 7th arrondissement of Paris from the property developer. This is an office complex combining three buildings connected by two inner courtyards, and consists of approximately 40,000 total sq. ft.

The purchase price included the complete renovation of the site. As of March 31, 2023, $151 million of the purchase price, including approximately $4.5 million of acquisition costs, is included in property, equipment and leasehold improvements on the accompanying balance sheet. The purchase price has been allocated approximately $62.3 million to land and $88.7 million to the building. The building, which was delivered on February 28, 2022, includes ~~enhanced disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for annual~~the building structure, development of the property, façade waterproofing, general and ~~interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for annual periods after December 31, 2016. We have evaluated the standard~~technical installations and ~~determined~~interior fittings that ~~there~~ will be ~~no material impact~~depreciated over a range of 7 to 50 years. The Company has elected to depreciate the building cost based on ~~our consolidated financial statements.~~the useful lives of its components. Approximately $1.8 million of cash held in escrow is also included in property, equipment and leasehold improvements on the accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 2023.

The acquisition was financed by a 10-year €120 million (approximately $130.5 million) bank loan which bears interest at one-month Euribor plus 0.75%. Approximately €80 million of the variable rate debt was swapped for variable interest rate debt with a maximum rate of 2% per annum. The swap effectively exchanges the variable interest rate to a fixed rate of approximately 1.1%.

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements~~

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents including money market funds, short-term investments, accounts receivable, other receivables, ~~and~~cash held in escrow, accounts payable and accrued expenses ~~approximates~~approximate fair value due to the short terms to maturity of these instruments.

Page 9

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The carrying amount of loans payable approximates fair value as the interest rates on the Company’s indebtedness approximate current market rates. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was estimated based on the current rates offered to companies for debt with the same remaining maturities and is approximately equal to its carrying value.

Foreign currency forward exchange contracts are valued based on quotations from financial institutions and the value of interest rate swaps are the discounted net present value of the swaps using third party quotes ~~obtained~~ from financial institutions.

5.7.

Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge exposure related to receivables denominated in a foreign currency and occasionally to manage risks related to future sales expected to be denominated in a foreign currency. Before entering into a derivative transaction for hedging purposes, it is determined that a high degree of initial effectiveness exists between the change in value of the hedged item and the change in the value of the derivative instrument from movement in exchange rates. High effectiveness means that the change in the cash flows of the derivative instrument will effectively offset the change in the cash flows of the hedged item. The effectiveness of each hedged item is measured throughout the hedged period and is based on the dollar offset methodology and excludes the portion of the fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contract attributable to the change in spot-forward difference which is reported in current period earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness is also recognized as a gain or loss on foreign currency in the income statement. For hedge contracts that are no longer deemed highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued, and gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings. If it is probable that the forecasted transaction will no longer occur, then any gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to current-period earnings.

In December 2022, to finance the acquisition of the Lacoste trademark, the Company entered into a €50 million ($54.4 million) 4-year term loan with a variable interest rate. This variable rate debt was swapped for variable interest rate debt with a maximum rate of 2% per annum. This swap is a hedged derivative instrument and is therefore recorded at fair value and changes in fair value are reflected in other comprehensive income.

In connection with the ~~May 2015 Rochas brand~~April 2021 acquisition ~~$108~~of the office building complex in Paris, €120 million (approximately $130.5 million) of the purchase price was ~~paid in cash on the closing date and was~~ financed ~~entirely~~ through a ~~5-year~~10-year term loan. ~~As the payment at closing was due in dollars and we had planned to finance it with debt in euro, the~~The Company entered into ~~foreign currency forward~~interest rate swap contracts related to ~~secure~~€80 million of the ~~exchange~~loan, effectively exchanging the variable interest rate ~~for the $108 million purchase price at $1.067 per 1 euro.~~to a fixed rate of approximately 1.1%. This derivative ~~was designated~~instrument is recorded at fair value and ~~qualified as a cash flow hedge.~~changes in fair value are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Gains and losses in derivatives designated as hedges are accumulated in other comprehensive income ~~(loss)~~ and gains and losses in derivatives not designated as hedges are included in (gain) loss on foreign currency on the accompanying income statements. Such gains and losses were immaterial for both the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2023 and ~~2016. Interest expense includes a gain (loss) of $0.4 million and ($0.2) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively, relating to the interest rate swap.~~2022.

All derivative instruments are reported as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet measured at fair value. The valuation of interest rate swaps ~~as of September 30, 2017, resulted in a liability which~~ is included in long-term debt on the accompanying balance sheets. The valuation of foreign currency forward exchange contracts ~~not accounted for using hedge accounting~~ at ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2023, resulted in a ~~liability~~net asset and is included in ~~accrued expenses~~other current assets on the accompanying balance sheet.

~~Accrued Expenses:~~Leases:

~~Accrued expenses include approximately $20.6~~The Company leases its offices and warehouses, vehicles, and certain office equipment, substantially all of which are classified as operating leases. The Company currently has no material financing leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease assets and obligations are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

In determining lease asset value, the Company considers fixed or variable payment terms, prepayments, incentives, and options to extend or terminate, depending on the lease. Renewal, termination or purchase options affect the lease term used for determining lease asset value only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date for the location in which the lease is held in determining the present value of lease payments.

As of March 31, 2023, the weighted average remaining lease term was 5.5 years and the weighted average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liability was 2.6%. Rental expense related to operating leases was $1.4 million and ~~$14.1~~$1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Operating lease payments included in ~~advertising liabilities as of September 30, 2017~~operating cash flows totaled $1.3 million and ~~December~~$1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2016, respectively.~~2023 and 2022, respectively, and there were no noncash additions to operating lease assets for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

~~Share Based~~Share-Based Payments:

The Company maintains a stock option ~~programs~~program for key employees, executives and directors. The plans, all of which have been approved by shareholder vote, provide for the granting of both nonqualified and incentive options. Options granted under the plans typically have a six-year term and vest over a four to ~~five-year~~five-year period. The fair value of shares vested ~~for both~~during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2023 and ~~2016~~2022 aggregated ~~$0.05 million.~~$0.09 million and $0.10 million, respectively. Compensation cost, net of forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Forfeitures are estimated based on historic trends. It is generally our policy to issue new shares upon exercise of stock options.

The following table sets forth information with respect to nonvested options for the ~~nine month period~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017:~~March 31, 2023:

Net Income Attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. Common Shareholders:

Net income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. per common share (“basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Net income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. per share assuming dilution (“diluted EPS”), is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding, plus the incremental shares outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method.

~~License Renewal:~~

In May 2017, the Company, through its majority owned Paris based subsidiary, Interparfums SA, renewed its license agreement for an additional four years with Paul Smith for the creation, development, and distribution of fragrance products through December 2021, without any material changes in terms and conditions. Our initial 12-year license agreement with Paul Smith was signed in 1998, and had previously been extended through December 31, 2017.

~~Buyout of License:~~

In December 2016, the Company reached an agreement with the Balmain brand calling for Balmain to buyout the Balmain license agreement, effective December 31, 2016, in exchange for a payment aggregating $5.9 million. As a result of the buyout, the Company recognized a gain of $4.7 million as of December 31, 2016, and received the buyout payment in May 2017. As of March 31, 2017, the three month inventory sell-off period concluded and Balmain purchased all remaining inventory aggregating $1.4 million.

~~Settlement with French Tax Authorities:~~

As previously reported, the French Tax Authorities examined the 2012 tax return of Interparfums SA, and in August 2015 issued a $6.9 million tax adjustment. The main issues challenged by the French Tax Authorities related to the commission rate and royalty rate paid to Interparfums Singapore Pte. and Interparfums (Suisse) SARL, respectively. Due to the subjective nature of the issues involved, in April 2016, Interparfums SA reached an agreement in principle to settle the entire matter with the French Tax Authorities. The settlement required Interparfums SA to pay a tax assessment of $1.9 million covering the issues for not only the 2012 tax year, but also covering the issues for the tax years ended 2013 through 2015. The settlement, which was finalized by the French Tax Authorities in the first quarter of 2017, was accrued in March 2016.

~~11.~~

~~Subsequent Event~~

In 2012, the French government introduced a 3% tax on dividends or deemed dividends for entities subject to French corporate income tax. On October 6, 2017 the French Constitutional Court released a decision declaring that the 3% tax on dividends or deemed dividends is unconstitutional. As a result of that decision, the Company has filed a claim for refund of approximately $3.3 million (€2.8 million) for these taxes paid since 2015. The French government has not yet determined if, how, or when they will reimburse companies who have filed claims. There is even discussion of additional tax measures to offset this cost. Therefore, due to the unknown factors involved in the potential reimbursement of the claim, the Company did not recognize the refund claim in the accompanying financial statements as of September 30, 2017. The Company will continue to monitor future events as they relate to this matter.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Information

Statements in this report which are not historical in nature are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “should,” “will” and “would” or similar words. You should not rely on forward-looking statements because actual events or results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of important factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed under the headings “Forward Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in Inter Parfums’ annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2022, and the reports Inter Parfums files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Inter Parfums does not intend to and undertakes no duty to update the information contained in this report.

~~Regulation S-K Item 10(e)~~Overview

Regulation S-K Item 10(e), “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in commission filings,” prescribes the conditions for use of non-GAAP financial information in commission filings. Our reported results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, include a provision of $1.9 million ($1.4 million net of noncontrolling interests) for income taxes resulting from a nonrecurring tax settlement. Due to the significance of this transaction, as well as its nonrecurring nature, exclusion of such amount in the non-GAAP financial measures provides a more complete disclosure and facilitates a more accurate comparison of current results to historic results. Based upon the foregoing, we believe that our presentation of the non-GAAP financial information beginning on page 27 of this Form 10-Q is an important supplemental measure of operating performance to investors.

~~Overview~~

We operate in the fragrance business, and manufacture, market and distribute a wide array of fragrances and fragrance related products. We manage our business in two segments, European based operations and United States based operations. Certain prestige fragrance products are produced and marketed by our European operations through our ~~73%~~72% owned subsidiary in Paris, Interparfums SA, which is also a publicly traded company as ~~27%~~28% of Interparfums SA shares trade on the NYSE Euronext.

We produce and distribute through our European ~~based~~operations, fragrance products primarily under license agreements with brand owners, and European based fragrance product sales represented approximately ~~82%~~74% and ~~79%~~73% of net sales for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2023 and ~~2016,~~2022, respectively. We have built a portfolio of prestige brands, which includeBoucheron, Coach, Jimmy Choo, Karl Lagerfeld, Kate Spade, Lanvin, Moncler, Montblanc, ~~Paul Smith, Repetto,~~ Rochas ~~S.T. Dupont~~andVan Cleef & Arpels, whose products are distributed in over ~~100~~120 countries around the world.

~~Page 15~~

~~INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~With respect to~~ In addition, our ~~largest brands, we own the Lanvin brand name for its class of trade,~~exclusive and worldwide license ~~the Montblanc and Jimmy Choo brand names;~~ for the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2017, sales~~production and distribution of ~~product for these brands represented 12%, 22%,~~Lacoste brand perfumes and ~~20% of net sales, respectively.~~cosmetics becomes effective in January 2024.

Through our United States operations, we also market fragrance and fragrance related products. United States operations represented ~~18%~~26% and ~~21%~~27% of net sales for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2023 and ~~2016,~~2022, respectively. These fragrance products are sold primarily pursuant to license or other agreements with the owners of theAbercrombie & Fitch, ~~Agent Provocateur,~~ Anna Sui, ~~bebe, Dunhill, French Connection,~~Donna Karan, DKNY, Ferragamo, Graff, GUESS, Hollister, MCM, Oscar de la Rentaand~~Shanghai Tang~~Ungaro brands.

Substantially all of our prestige fragrance brands are licensed from unaffiliated third parties, and our business is dependent upon the continuation and renewal of such licenses. With respect to the Company’s largest brands, we license the Montblanc, Coach, Jimmy Choo and GUESS brand names.

Page 15

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

As a percentage of net sales, product sales for the Company’s largest brands were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023			2022

Montblanc		20	%		19	%
Jimmy Choo		20	%		15	%
Coach		15	%		15	%
GUESS		9	%		11	%

Quarterly sales fluctuations are influenced by the timing of new product launches as well as the third and fourth quarter holiday season. In certain markets where we sell directly to retailers, seasonality is more evident. We primarily sell directly to retailers in France ~~as well as through our own distribution subsidiaries in Italy, Germany, Spain~~ and the United States.

We grow our business in two distinct ways. First, we grow by adding new brands to our portfolio, either through new licenses or other arrangements or out-right acquisitions of brands. Second, we grow through the introduction of new products and by supporting new and established products through advertising, merchandising and sampling as well as phasing out underperforming products so we can devote greater resources to those products with greater potential. The economics of developing, producing, launching and supporting products influence our sales and operating performance each year. Our introduction of new products may have some cannibalizing effect on sales of existing products, which we take into account in our business planning.

Our business is not capital intensive, and it is important to note that we do not own manufacturing facilities. We act as a general contractor and source our needed components from our suppliers. These components are received at one of our distribution centers and then, based upon production needs, the components are sent to one of several third party fillers, which manufacture the finished product for us and then deliver them to one of our distribution centers.

As with any global business, many aspects of our operations are subject to influences outside our control. We believe we have a strong brand portfolio with global reach and potential. As part of our strategy, we plan to continue to make investments behind fast-growing markets and channels to grow market share.

For the past several years, the economic and political uncertainty and financial market volatility in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and China had a minor negative impact on our business, however our sales in these regions have been improving and we do not anticipate dramatic changes in business conditions for the foreseeable future. However, if the degree of uncertainty or volatility worsens or is prolonged, then there will likely be a negative effect on ongoing consumer confidence, demand and spending and accordingly, our business. We believe general economic and other uncertainties still exist in select markets in which we do business, and we monitor these uncertainties and other risks that may affect our business.

~~Page 16~~

~~INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

Our reported net sales are impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. A strong U.S. dollar has a negative impact on our net sales. However, ~~gross margins~~earnings are positively affected by a strong dollar, because ~~almost 45%~~above 50% of net sales of our European operations are denominated in U.S. dollars, while almost all costs of our European operations are incurred in euro. Conversely, a weak U.S. dollar has a favorable impact on our net sales while gross margins are negatively affected. ~~Our Company addresses~~We address certain financial exposures through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial ~~instruments. We~~instruments and primarily enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. We are also carefully monitoring currency trends in the United Kingdom as a result of the volatility created from the United Kingdom’s decision to exit the European Union. We have evaluated our current pricing models and currently we do not expect any significant pricing changes. However, if the devaluation of the British Pound worsens, it may affect future gross profit margins from sales in that territory.

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies

~~We make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of~~Information regarding our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies ~~which are those that are most important to the portrayal of~~can be found in our financial condition and results of operations. These accounting policies generally require our management’s most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management of the Company has discussed the selection of significant accounting policies and the effect of estimates2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the ~~Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.~~SEC.

~~Revenue Recognition~~

We sell our products to department stores, perfumeries, specialty stores, and domestic and international wholesalers and distributors. Sales of such products by our domestic subsidiaries are denominated in U.S. dollars and sales of such products by our foreign subsidiaries are primarily denominated in either euro or U.S. dollars. We recognize revenues when merchandise is shipped and the risk of loss passes to the customer. Net sales are comprised of gross revenues less returns, trade discounts and allowances.

~~Accounts Receivable~~

Accounts receivable represent payments due to the Company for previously recognized net sales, reduced by allowances for sales returns and doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable balances are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when they become uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously recorded against the allowance are recorded in the consolidated statement of income when received. We generally grant credit based upon our analysis of the customer’s financial position as well as previously established buying patterns.

~~Page 18~~

~~INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~Sales Returns~~

Generally, we do not permit customers to return their unsold products. However, for U.S. distribution of our prestige products, we allow returns if properly requested, authorized and approved. We regularly review and revise, as deemed necessary, our estimate of reserves for future sales returns based primarily upon historic trends and relevant current data, including information provided by retailers regarding their inventory levels. In addition, as necessary, specific accruals may be established for significant future known or anticipated events. The types of known or anticipated events that we have considered, and will continue to consider, include, but are not limited to, the financial condition of our customers, store closings by retailers, changes in the retail environment and our decision to continue to support new and existing products. We record estimated reserves for sales returns as a reduction of sales, cost of sales and accounts receivable. Returned products are recorded as inventories and are valued based upon estimated realizable value. The physical condition and marketability of returned products are the major factors we consider in estimating realizable value. Actual returns, as well as estimated realizable values of returned products, may differ significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from our estimates, if factors such as economic conditions, inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from our expectations.

~~Inventories~~

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is principally determined by the first-in, first-out method. We record adjustments to the cost of inventories based upon our sales forecast and the physical condition of the inventories. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual results if future economic conditions or competitive conditions differ from our expectations.

~~Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets~~

Equipment, which includes tools and molds, is recorded at cost and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of such assets. Changes in circumstances such as technological advances, changes to our business model or changes in our capital spending strategy can result in the actual useful lives differing from our estimates. In those cases where we determine that the useful life of equipment should be shortened, we would depreciate the net book value in excess of the salvage value, over its revised remaining useful life, thereby increasing depreciation expense. Factors such as changes in the planned use of equipment, or market acceptance of products, could result in shortened useful lives.

We evaluate indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently when events occur or circumstances change, such as an unexpected decline in sales, that would more likely than not indicate that the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable. When testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, the evaluation requires a comparison of the estimated fair value of the asset to the carrying value of the asset. The fair values used in our evaluations are estimated based upon discounted future cash flow projections using a weighted average cost of capital of 6.2%. The cash flow projections are based upon a number of assumptions, including, future sales levels and future cost of goods and operating expense levels, as well as economic conditions, changes to our business model or changes in consumer acceptance of our products which are more subjective in nature. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.

~~Page 19~~

~~INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

We believe that the assumptions we have made in projecting future cash flows for the evaluations described above are reasonable and currently no impairment indicators exist for our indefinite-lived intangible assets. However, if future actual results do not meet our expectations, we may be required to record an impairment charge, the amount of which could be material to our results of operations.

At December 31, 2016 indefinite-lived intangible assets aggregated approximately $116 million. The following table presents the impact a change in the following significant assumptions would have had on the calculated fair value in 2016 assuming all other assumptions remained constant:

$ in millions Increase (decrease)
Change to fair value

Weighted average cost of capital +10 % $ (16.2 )
Weighted average cost of capital -10 % $ 20.0
Future sales levels +10 % $ 17.0
Future sales levels -10 % $ (17.0 )

Intangible assets subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment testing whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an amortizable intangible asset may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators exist for an amortizable intangible asset, the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the expected service potential of the asset are compared to the carrying value of the asset. If our projection of undiscounted future cash flows is in excess of the carrying value of the intangible asset, no impairment charge is recorded. If our projection of undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the intangible asset, an impairment charge would be recorded to reduce the intangible asset to its fair value. The cash flow projections are based upon a number of assumptions, including future sales levels and future cost of goods and operating expense levels, as well as economic conditions, changes to our business model or changes in consumer acceptance of our products which are more subjective in nature. In those cases where we determine that the useful life of long-lived assets should be shortened, we would amortize the net book value in excess of the salvage value (after testing for impairment as described above), over the revised remaining useful life of such asset thereby increasing amortization expense. We believe that the assumptions we have made in projecting future cash flows for the evaluations described above are reasonable.

In determining the useful life of our Lanvin brand names and trademarks, we applied the provisions of ASC topic 350-30-35-3. The only factor that prevented us from determining that the Lanvin brand names and trademarks were indefinite life intangible assets was Item c. “Any legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life.” The existence of a repurchase option in 2025 may limit the useful life of the Lanvin brand names and trademarks to the Company. However, this limitation would only take effect if the repurchase option were to be exercised and the repurchase price was paid. If the repurchase option is not exercised, then the Lanvin brand names and trademarks are expected to continue to contribute directly to the future cash flows of our Company and their useful life would be considered to be indefinite.

~~Page 20~~

~~INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

With respect to the application of ASC topic 350-30-35-8, the Lanvin brand names and trademarks would only have a finite life to our Company if the repurchase option were exercised, and in applying ASC topic 350-30-35-8, we assumed that the repurchase option is exercised. When exercised, Lanvin has an obligation to pay the exercise price and the Company would be required to convey the Lanvin brand names and trademarks back to Lanvin. The exercise price to be received (Residual Value) is well in excess of the carrying value of the Lanvin brand names and trademarks, therefore no amortization is required.

~~Derivatives~~

We account for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC topic 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. This topic also requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and that they are measured at fair value.

We currently use derivative financial instruments to hedge certain anticipated transactions and interest rates, as well as receivables denominated in foreign currencies. We do not utilize derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Hedge effectiveness is documented, assessed and monitored by employees who are qualified to make such assessments and monitor the instruments. Variables that are external to us such as social, political and economic risks may have an impact on our hedging program and the results thereof.

~~Income Taxes~~

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. The net deferred tax assets assume sufficient future earnings for their realization, as well as the continued application of currently anticipated tax rates. Included in net deferred tax assets is a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, where management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the relevant jurisdiction. If the Company determines that a deferred tax asset will not be realizable, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset will result in a reduction of net income at that time. In addition, the Company follows the provisions of uncertain tax positions as addressed in ASC topic 740.

At comparable foreign currency exchange rates, net sales increased ~~5.2%. Net sales~~29% from the first quarter of 2022. The average dollar/euro exchange rate for the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2017~~current first quarter was 1.07 compared to 1.12 in the first quarter of 2022.

The current first quarter was exceptionally strong for both European and United States based operations, as net sales increased ~~14.3% to $441.7 million,~~26% and 19%, respectively, as compared to ~~$386.3 million for~~ the corresponding period of the prior year. ~~There was no discernible effect on net sales from changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the nine month period.~~

For European based ~~product sales increased 9.1% and 18.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. Montblanc,~~operations, our largest brand, generated sales of $37.2 million and $99.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, representing an increase of 13% and 5%, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. The 5% increase in nine month 2017 Montblanc product sales reflects the difficult period comparison, as we achieved a 23% increase in 2016 nine months sales when we launched our highly successful scent,brands, ~~Montblanc Legend Spirit~~~~. Our second largest brand,~~ Jimmy Choo, ~~generated~~Montblanc and Coach sales ~~of $28.2 million and $87.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, representing an increase of 3%~~rose 63%, 28% and 24%, ~~as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. The increase is due to two recent extensions,~~~~Jimmy Choo L’Eau~~ ~~for women and~~~~Jimmy Choo Man Ice,~~as well as from solid sales of the brand’s established collections for men and women. Lanvin brand sales, although down 8% for the 2017 third quarter, are up 14% year-to-date resulting from gains in the brand’s best performing product line,~~Éclat d’Arpège,~~ ~~coupled with the international launch of~~~~Modern Princess~~~~. Lanvin brand sales aggregated $19.4 million and $52.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.~~

The excellent performance of our two newest brands, Coach and Rochas, is especially gratifying. Coach brand sales rose 34% over the comparable period last year and aggregated $18.6 million and $35.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Strong sales of the Coach women’s line which rolled out in 2016, combined with the recent launch of the brand’s signature scent for men, generated the exceptional brand sales growth. Rochas fragrance sales aggregated $9.3 million and $29.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, ~~representing an increase of 33% and 32%, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. The dramatic increase in Rochas fragrance sales was primarily attributable to the strength of the~~~~Eau de Rochas~~ ~~line and the successful rollout of~~~~Mademoiselle Rochas~~ ~~in approximately fifteen markets thus far.~~

United States based product sales increased 2.0% and decreased 1.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. The quarterly and year-to-date comparisons are particularly difficult because in the second quarter of 2016, we commenced international distribution of our first ever Abercrombie & Fitch men’s scent~~First Instinct~~ ~~and the Hollister fragrance duo,~~~~Wave~~~~. The 2017 third quarter included initial shipments of~~~~Icon Racing~~ ~~by Dunhill and~~~~Fantasia~~ ~~by Anna Sui, which are expected to energize sales by U.S. operations for the remainder of the year.~~

We maintain confidence in our future and we have strengthened advertising and promotional investments supporting most portfolio brands and accelerated brand development. We plan to continue to build upon the strength of our brands and our worldwide distribution network.

During the first quarter of 2023, we debuted Jimmy Choo Rose Passion and Montblanc Signature Absolue, which contributed to the double digit brand sales gains. Many of our mid-sized brands, including Boucheron, Ferragamo, Karl Lagerfeld, and Oscar de la Renta, also achieved double digit sales gains. Additionally, we introduced brand extensions within established lines for Abercrombie & Fitch, and MCM. After the challenging lockdowns, the progressive reopening of China buoyed the Ferragamo and Anna Sui brands.

As expected, the implementation of our enterprise resource planning software weighed on our quarterly results, impacting GUESS disproportionately, which was flat off a high base in 2022, but we have strong orders that we will be fulfilling during the second quarter. However, overall our first quarter started the year on a strong note, and we look forward to executing our plans for the remainder of the year. Our brands are in high demand in a robust environment for the fragrance industry. We have a large number of brand extensions across many of our brands launching throughout the year, plus Montblanc Explorer Platinum, Coach Green and Coach Love, later in the year. In sum, 2023 has all the earmarks of another superb year as the growth catalysts currently far outweigh the headwinds, most notably limited travel retail business and supply chain disruptions.

For European based operations, gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales was 67.8% and 66.8% in the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively as we have benefited from our pricing actions and favorable exchange rate. We carefully monitor movements in foreign currency exchange rates as ~~almost 45%~~more than 50% of our European based operations net sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, while most of our costs are incurred in euro. From a gross margin standpoint, a strong U.S. dollar has a positive effect on our gross ~~profit~~ margin while a weak U.S. dollar has a negative effect. The average dollar/euro exchange rate ~~for~~was 1.07 in the ~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 1.17 and 1.11, respectively,~~2023 first quarter as compared to 1.12 ~~for both corresponding periods~~in the first quarter of the prior year giving rise to a slight decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease however, was mitigated by increased gross margins from higher product sales made directly to retailers through our own distribution subsidiaries. Increased sales of Rochas brand fragrances was a major contributor as its sales are concentrated in France and Spain, both of which are countries where we distribute directly to retailers.2022.

For ~~U.S.~~United States operations, gross profit margin was ~~47%~~57.6% and ~~48%~~53.9% in the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The significant margin expansion stems from a number of factors. Firstly, for the ~~three~~most part, the price increases we took early 2023 weren’t offset by a higher cost of goods given our inventory coverage and ~~nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,~~FIFO accounting. Secondly, we are 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. Lastly, the significant increase in sales in the first quarter of 2023 allowed us to better absorb fixed expenses such as depreciation and point of sale expenses, as compared to ~~47% and 49% for~~ the corresponding ~~periods~~period of the prior year. ~~The decrease for~~

~~Interest~~Traditionally, interest expense aggregated $0.5 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to $0.5 million and $2.2 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year. Interest expense iswas primarily related to the financing of brand and licensing acquisitions. However, in April 2021, we completed the ~~Rochas brand~~ acquisition ~~and~~of the headquarters of Interparfums SA. The acquisition was financed by a 10-year €120 million (approximately $130.5 million) bank loan which bears interest at one-month Euribor plus 0.75%. Also in 2021, approximately €80 million of the variable rate debt was swapped for ~~the nine months ended September 30, 2016, includes~~variable rate debt with a ~~$0.2 million loss relating to the~~maximum interest rate of 2%. The swap ~~as compared~~effectively exchanges the variable interest rate to a $0.4 million gain in the 2017 period. We use the credit lines available to us, as needed, to finance our working capital needs as well as our financing needs for brand acquisitions. Long-term debt including current maturities aggregated $65.6 million and $84.7 million asfixed rate of ~~September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.~~approximately 1.1%.

Foreign currency loss aggregated $0.3 and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year. We ~~typically~~ enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage exposure related to receivables from unaffiliated third parties denominated in a foreign currency and occasionally to manage risks related to future sales expected to be denominated in a foreign currency. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions have not been significant. Above 50% of net sales of our European operations are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Interest and investment (income) loss represents interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. As of March 31, 2022, short-term investments include approximately $20.7 million of marketable equity securities of other companies in the luxury goods sector. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company sold these marketable securities which generated a gain of $3.1 million. Interest and investment (income) loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023, includes approximately $3.4 million of losses on such marketable equity securities.

We have not had any liquidity issues to date, and do not expect any liquidity issues relating to such cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. As of March 31, 2023, short-term investments ~~held by our European operations.~~include approximately $0.7 million of marketable equity securities.

As of March 31, 2023, working capital aggregated $489 million and we had a working capital ratio of 2.4 to 1. Approximately ~~88%~~80% of the Company’s total assets are held by European operations, and approximately ~~$191~~$253 million of trademarks, licenses and other intangible assets are also held by European operations.

The Company is party to a number of license and other agreements for the use of trademarks and rights in connection with the manufacture and sale of its products expiring at various dates through 2039. In connection with certain of these license agreements, the Company is subject to minimum annual advertising commitments, minimum annual royalties and other commitments. See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 12 – Commitments in our 2022 annual report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein. Future advertising commitments are estimated based on planned future sales for the license terms that were in effect at December 31, 2022, without consideration for potential renewal periods and do not reflect the fact that our distributors share our advertising obligations.

The Company hopes to continue to benefit from its strong financial position to potentially acquire one or more brands, either on a proprietary basis or as a licensee. ~~Opportunities~~In December 2022, we entered into a long-term global licensing agreement for ~~external growth continue to be examined, with~~ the ~~priority~~creation, development and distribution of ~~maintaining~~fragrances and fragrance-related products under the ~~quality and homogeneous nature of our portfolio.

As usual, the most significant usage for both periods relates to the increase in accounts receivables as of September as compared to that of the prior December year end. This is expected and reflects the seasonality in our business whereby sales in the third quarter are significantly higher than those in the fourth quarter. Although ~~as set forth on the~~from a cash flow ~~statement,~~perspective accounts receivable ~~shows a 41% increase~~is up 22% from ~~2016~~ year end 2022, the ~~September 31, 2017 ending~~ balance is reasonable based on ~~third~~first quarter ~~2017~~2023 record sales levels and reflects ~~continued strong~~reasonable collection activity as day’s sales outstanding ~~is relatively unchanged at 87~~was 69 days, ~~as compared to 85~~down slightly from 75 days ~~for~~in the corresponding period of the prior year. ~~We continue to monitor collection activities actively and adjust customer credit limits~~From a cash flow perspective, inventory levels as ~~needed. Inventory levels are up approximately 28%~~of March 31, 2023, increased 10% from ~~2016~~ year end ~~and reflect levels~~2022. Although inventories include components needed to support ~~sales expectations and our~~ new product ~~launches.~~launches, the overall balance is lower than historic levels due primarily to supply chain disruptions. We have been addressing this issue since the beginning of 2021, by ordering well in advance of need and in larger quantities. Since 2021, we have strived to carry more inventory overall, source the same components from multiple suppliers and when possible, manufacture products closer to where they are sold.

Cash flows ~~used in~~provided by investing activities in ~~2017~~2023 reflect ~~the purchase~~purchases and sales ~~in our European operations,~~ of short-term investments. These investments ~~are primarily~~include certificates of deposit with maturities greater than three months. Approximately ~~$62~~$40 million of such certificates of deposit contain penalties where we would forfeit a portion of the interest earned in the event of early withdrawal.

Our business is not capital intensive as we do not own any manufacturing facilities. ~~However, on~~On a full year basis, we typically spend approximately ~~$4.0~~$5.0 million on tools and molds, depending on our new product development calendar. Capital expenditures also include amounts for office fixtures, computer equipment and industrial equipment needed at our distribution centers. In December 2016, the Company agreed to a buyout of its Balmain license, effective December 31, 2016, for a payment aggregating €5.4 million (approximately $5.9 million). The Company received the buyout payment in May 2017.

In connection with the 2015 acquisition of the Rochas brand, we entered into a 5-year term loan payable in equal quarterly installments of €5.0 million ($5.9 million) plus interest. In order to reduce exposure to rising variable interest rates, the Company entered into a swap transaction effectively exchanging the variable interest rate to a fixed rate of approximately 1.2%. The swap is a derivative instrument and is therefore recorded at fair value and changes in fair value are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Our short-term financing requirements are expected to be met by available cash on hand at ~~September 30, 2017, cash generated by operations~~March 31, 2023, and short-term credit lines provided by domestic and foreign banks. The principal credit facilities for ~~2017~~2023 consist of a $20.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit provided by a domestic commercial bank and approximately ~~$30.0~~$28 million in credit lines provided by a consortium of international financial institutions. There ~~were~~was $18 million of short-term borrowings outstanding pursuant to these facilities as of March 31, 2023 and no short-term borrowings outstanding as of ~~both September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 2022.

In ~~October 2016,~~April 2020, as a result of the uncertainties raised by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Directors authorized a ~~13%~~temporary suspension of the quarterly cash dividend. In February 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a reinstatement of an annual dividend of $1.00, payable quarterly and in February 2022, our Board authorized a 100% increase in the annual dividend to ~~$0.68~~$2.00 per ~~share and in October 2017,~~share. In February 2023 the Board ~~authorized a~~of Directors further ~~24% increase in~~increased the annual dividend to ~~$0.84~~$2.50 per share. The next quarterly cash dividend of ~~$0.21~~$0.625 per share is payable on ~~January 15, 2018~~June 30, 2023, to shareholders of record on December 29, 2017. Dividends paid also include dividends paid once per year to the noncontrolling shareholders of Interparfums SA, which aggregated $5.9 million and $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The annual cash dividends represent a small part of our cash position and are not expected to have any significant impact on our financial position.June 15, 2023.

We believe that funds provided by or used in operations can be supplemented by our present cash position and available credit facilities, so that they will provide us with sufficient resources to meet all present and reasonably foreseeable future operating needs.

Inflation rates in the U.S. and foreign countries in which we operate did not have a significant impact on operating results for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2023.

Item 3:

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

General

We address certain financial exposures through a controlled program of risk management that primarily consists of the use of derivative financial instruments. We primarily enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts in order to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. We do not engage in the trading of foreign currency forward exchange contracts or interest rate swaps.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management

We periodically enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge exposure related to receivables denominated in a foreign currency and to manage risks related to future sales expected to be denominated in a currency other than our functional currency. We enter into these exchange contracts for periods consistent with our identified exposures. The purpose of the hedging activities is to minimize the effect of foreign exchange rate movements on the receivables and cash flows of Interparfums SA, ~~our French subsidiary,~~ whose functional currency is the euro. All foreign currency contracts are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries and are with large financial institutions, which are rated as strong investment grade.

All derivative instruments are required to be reflected as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet measured at fair value. Generally, increases or decreases in fair value of derivative instruments will be recognized as gains or losses in earnings in the period of change. If the derivative is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, then the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument will be recorded in other comprehensive income.

Before entering into a derivative transaction for hedging purposes, we determine that the change in the value of the derivative will effectively offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item from a movement in foreign currency rates. Then, we measure the effectiveness of each hedge throughout the hedged period. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in the income statement.

At ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2023, we had foreign currency contracts in the form of forward exchange contracts ~~in the amount~~ of approximately U.S. ~~$22.6~~$37.0 million ~~and GB £11.5 million which all have~~with maturities of less than one year. We believe that our risk of loss as the result of nonperformance by any of such financial institutions is remote.

Interest Rate Risk Management

We mitigate interest rate risk by monitoring interest rates, and then determining whether fixed interest rates should be swapped for floating rate debt, or if floating rate debt should be swapped for fixed rate debt. We entered into an interest rate swap in June 2015 on €100 million of debt, effectively exchanging the variable interest rate to a fixed rate of approximately 1.2%. This derivative instrument is recorded at fair value and changes in fair value are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

~~UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS~~

¹ All shares were purchased in open market transactions.

On September 12, 2017, we granted an option to purchase 2,000 shares for a five year period at the exercise price of $40.15 per share, the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, to one nonemployee director who was elected to our board of directors for the first time, under our 2004 Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan. Such option vests 25% each year over a four year period on a cumulative basis. This transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act under Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act. The option holder agreed that, if the option is exercised, the option holder would purchase her common stock for investment and not for resale to the public.
