PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Interparfums Inc. (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”) within the time period prescribed. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Forvis Mazars, LLP, requires more time to complete the necessary procedures to issue its opinions on the consolidated financial statements and the Company’s internal control over financial reporting contained in the 2024 Annual Report. The Company expects to file its 2024 Annual Report as soon as possible, but not later than March 18, 2025, which is the extension period provided by Rule 12b-25 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Company, in discussion with Forvis Mazars, LLP, has determined that material weaknesses exist with regard to risk assessment, control activities, information technology general controls (ITGCs), and monitoring of its financial reporting. The material weaknesses are not expected to result in changes to the financial information previously reported by the Company in its press release dated February 25, 2025, which was furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on the same date. The Company does not expect such deficiencies in internal controls will impact the financial results to be included in the 2024 Annual Report.

|
☒ Yes ☐ No |
|
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. |
The Company issued its Earnings Release on February 25, 2025. Based on currently available information and subject to Forvis Mazars, LLP’s completion of the necessary procedures to issue its opinions (as described in Part III herein), the Company does not expect any changes to the financial results to be included in the 2024 Annual Report compared to the financial information reported in the Earnings Release.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this document 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 Company’s ability to file the 2024 Annual Report within the anticipated time period, the Company’s expectations regarding the financial results to be included in the 2024 Annual Report, the material weaknesses identified and any related impacts, and the risks and uncertainties discussed under the headings “Forward Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the reports the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not intend to and undertakes no duty to update the information contained in this Form 12b-25.
