THE COOPER COMPANIES ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER
AND FULL YEAR 2017 RESULTS

PLEASANTON, Calif., December 7, 2017 — The Cooper Companies, Inc. (NYSE: COO) today announced financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended October 31, 2017.
Fourth quarter revenue increased 8% year-over-year to $561.5 million. Fiscal 2017 revenue increased 9% to $2,139.0 million.
Fourth quarter GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) $1.78, up 55 cents or 45% from last year’s fourth quarter. Fiscal 2017 GAAP EPS $7.52, up 35% from fiscal 2016.
Fourth quarter non-GAAP diluted EPS $2.65, up 37 cents or 16% from last year’s fourth quarter. Fiscal 2017 non-GAAP EPS $9.70, up 15% from fiscal 2016. See “Reconciliation of GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Results” below.

Commenting on the results, Robert S. Weiss, Cooper’s president and chief executive officer said, "I am pleased to report record revenue, record EPS and record cash flow for the year. We accomplished this through market share gains across all geographies, success with our 1-Day silicone hydrogel and Biofinity® franchises, along with CooperSurgical's success with its fertility business. We enter fiscal 2018 with momentum and are well positioned for sustained growth in each of our businesses.”

Fourth Quarter GAAP Operating Results
Revenue $561.5 million, up 8% from last year’s fourth quarter, up 5% pro forma (defined as constant currency and including acquisitions in both periods).
Gross margin 63% compared with 57% in last year’s fourth quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 66% compared with 64% last year. The gross margin was positively impacted primarily by currency and favorable product mix within CooperVision.
Operating margin 19% compared with 14% in last year’s fourth quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin was 27% compared with 25% last year. The increase was primarily the result of gross margin improvements and operating expense leverage.

1



Total debt decreased $40.7 million from July 31, 2017, to $1,172.7 million, primarily due to debt paydown from operational cash flow generation and lower cash balances.
Cash provided by operations $199.0 million offset by capital expenditures $31.7 million resulted in free cash flow of $167.3 million.

Fourth Quarter CooperVision (CVI) GAAP Operating Results
Revenue $439.0 million, up 7% from last year’s fourth quarter, up 5% in pro forma.

Other
In October 2017, the company repurchased $25.5 million of common stock under the existing share repurchase program for an average share price of $237.12. The program has $563.5 million of remaining availability and no expiration date.
As previously announced on December 1, 2017 we acquired Paragon Vision Sciences, a leading provider of orthokeratology (ortho-k), specialty contact lenses and oxygen permeable rigid contact lens materials, for approximately $80 million.

Fiscal Year 2018 Guidance
The Company initiated its fiscal year 2018 guidance. Details are summarized as follows:
Fiscal 2018 total revenue $2,480 - $2,530 million
-
CVI revenue $1,830 - $1,865 million
-
CSI revenue $650 - $665 million
Fiscal 2018 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $11.35 - $11.65
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance excludes amortization of intangible assets and other costs including integration expenses which we may incur as part of our continuing operations.
With respect to the Company’s guidance expectations, the Company has not reconciled non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance to GAAP diluted earnings per share due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting acquisition-related, integration and restructuring charges and expenses, which are reconciling items between the non-GAAP and GAAP measure. Due to the unknown effect, timing and potential significance of such charges and expenses that impact GAAP diluted earnings per share, the Company is not able to provide such guidance.

Reconciliation of GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Results
To supplement our financial results and guidance presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP measures that we believe are helpful in understanding our results. The non-GAAP measures exclude costs which we generally would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented as a part of our continuing operations. Our non-GAAP financial results and guidance are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the factors management uses in planning and forecasting for future periods. We believe it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on our consolidated operating results. Our non-GAAP financial measures may include the following adjustments, and as appropriate, the related income tax effects and changes in income attributable to noncontrolling interests:
We exclude the effect of amortization of intangible assets from our non-GAAP financial results. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods; however, the amounts are affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions.
We exclude the effect of acquisition and integration expenses and the effect of restructuring expenses from our non-GAAP financial results. Such expenses generally diminish over time with respect to past acquisitions; however, we generally will incur similar expenses in connection with any future acquisitions. We incurred significant expenses in connection with our acquisitions and also incurred certain other operating expenses or income, which we generally would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented as a part of our continuing operations. Many of these costs last year related to our acquisition of Sauflon Pharmaceuticals Ltd. that closed in our fiscal fourth quarter of 2014. Acquisition and integration expenses include items such as personnel costs for transitional employees, other acquired employee related costs and integration related professional services. Restructuring expenses include items such as employee severance, product rationalization, facility and other exit costs.
We exclude other exceptional or unusual charges or expenses.  These can be variable and difficult to predict, such as certain litigation expenses and product transition costs, and are not what we consider as typical of our continuing operations. Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacements for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We report revenue growth using the non-GAAP financial measure of pro forma which includes constant currency revenue and revenue from acquisitions in both periods. Management also presents and refers to constant currency information so that revenue results may be evaluated excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current period revenue for entities reporting in currencies other than the United States dollar are converted into United States dollars at the average foreign exchange rates for the corresponding period in the prior year. To report

4



pro forma revenue growth, we include revenue for the comparison period when we did not own recently acquired companies.
We define the non-GAAP measure of free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe free cash flow is useful for investors as an additional measure of liquidity because it represents cash flows that are available for repayment of debt, repurchases of our common stock or to fund our strategic initiatives. Management uses free cash flow internally to understand, manage, make operating decisions and evaluate our business. In addition, we use free cash flow to help plan and forecast future periods.
