CooperCompanies Announces Third Quarter 2019 Results

PLEASANTON, Calif., August 29, 2019 — CooperCompanies (NYSE: COO) today announced financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended July 31, 2019.
Revenue increased 3% year-over-year to $679.4 million. CooperVision (CVI) revenue up 4% to $509.1 million, and CooperSurgical (CSI) revenue consistent with last year at $170.3 million.
GAAP diluted earnings per share $2.40, up 18.1% from last year's third quarter.
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share $3.23, up 23 cents or 7.8% from last year’s third quarter. See “Reconciliation of GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Results” below.
 
Commenting on the results, Albert White, Cooper’s president and chief executive officer said, "I am pleased to report another strong quarter for the company with solid revenues and earnings. These results were driven by our market leading products and strong operational execution. Our businesses continue to perform well and we believe we are well positioned to continue posting strong results."

Third Quarter Operating Results
Revenue $679.4 million up 3% from last year’s third quarter, up 5% pro forma.
Gross margin 66% compared with 65% in last year’s third quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 67%, the same as last year's third quarter.
Operating margin 21% compared with 18% in last year’s third quarter as a result of operating expense leverage. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin was 28%, the same as last year's third quarter.
Interest expense $16.7 million compared with $22.8 million in last year's third quarter primarily due to lower average debt.

Total debt outstanding at the end of the quarter was $1,812.6 million. The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $112.7 million and an adjusted leverage ratio (net debt over adjusted EBITDA) of 1.83 times.
Cash provided by operations $196.7 million offset by capital expenditures $75.4 million resulted in free cash flow of $121.3 million.

Gross margin 71% compared with 62% in last year’s third quarter due primarily to the negative impact of the PARAGARD® inventory step-up charges in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 72%, the same as last year's third quarter.

Fiscal Year 2019 Guidance
The Company updated its fiscal year 2019 guidance. Details are summarized as follows:
Fiscal 2019 total revenue $2,635 - $2,655 million (6% to 7% pro forma)
CVI revenue $1,966 - $1,976 million (7% to 8% pro forma)
CSI revenue $669 - $679 million (4% to 6% pro forma)
Fiscal 2019 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $12.27 - $12.35
Fiscal fourth quarter 2019 total revenue $674 - $694 million (5% to 8% pro forma)
CVI revenue $503 - $513 million (6% to 8% pro forma)
CSI revenue $171 - $181 million (1% to 7% pro forma)
Fiscal fourth quarter 2019 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share $3.22 - $3.30
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance excludes amortization and impairment of intangible assets, and other exceptional or unusual income or gains and charges or expenses including acquisition, integration and manufacturing related costs 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

3





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 and impairment 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. Impairment of intangible assets is a non-recurring cost.
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. Acquisition and integration expenses include direct effects of acquisition accounting, such as inventory fair value step-up and 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 and gains or income.  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 and excludes CooperSurgical product line exits 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

4





the United States dollar are converted into United States dollars at the average foreign exchange rates for the corresponding period in the prior year.
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.
