Van Cleef & Arpels
In 2006, Van Cleef & Arpels and InterparfumsSA signed a 12-year worldwide license agreement to manufacture and distribute perfumes and related products under the Van Cleef & Arpels brand name, which was subsequently extended for a further 6 years until December 31, 2024.
Discussions underway since 2023 with a view to renewing the license agreement made it possible to define a new framework, in particular based on strengthening the selective distribution of Van Cleef & Arpels fragrances worldwide. New essences in the Collection Extraordinaire and a new «collection» are in the pipeline, with launches scheduled for 2025. On that basis, the license is to be renewed for an additional 9-year term as from January 1, 2025.
Philippe Benacin, Chairman and CEO commented: “We are largely on track to meeting our full-year targets after a good performance in the first half despite a complicated situation in the beauty market in selected countries. The takeover of Lacoste fragrance distribution exceeds our expectations and the initial responses to the launch of the Lacoste Original line are extremely positive.”
Philippe Santi Executive Vice President and CFO, added: “Sales volumes in the first half of 2024 were not adversely affected by the moderate increases in sales prices applied in early 2022 and 2023 respectively. In contrast and above all they made it possible to maintain gross margins at a high level. Reflecting continuing efforts to contain fixed costs and achieve a more balanced distribution of marketing and advertising expenditures between the first and second half, operating income for H1 2024 is expected to experience only a limited decline compared with the exceptionally high level of H1 2023, in line with the budget.”
