Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
General	General The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Cooper Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) and related notes as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. The unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Readers should not assume that the results reported here either indicate or guarantee future performance. The terms "the Company", "we", "us", and "our" are used to refer collectively to the Cooper Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Accounting Policies There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, except as it relates to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is described below. Leases We consider an arrangement a lease if the arrangement transfers the right to control the use of an identified asset in exchange for consideration. We have operating leases, but do not have material financing leases. Lease right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make payments arising from the lease agreement. These assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement of the lease based upon the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The lease term reflects the noncancelable period of the lease together with periods covered by an option to extend or terminate the lease when management is reasonably certain that it will exercise such option. Changes in the lease term assumption could impact the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recognized on the balance sheet. As our leases typically do not contain a readily determinable implicit rate, we determine the present value of the lease liability using our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date based on the lease term on a collateralized basis. Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use (ROU) asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU 2018-11, Leases Topic 842 Target improvements, which provides an additional (and optional) transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) Codification Improvements, which further clarifies the determination of fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers and modifies transition disclosure requirements for changes in accounting principles and other technical updates. We adopted this standard using the optional transition method and recorded an adjustment to the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet on November 1, 2019. We have implemented changes to certain business processes, systems and internal controls to support adoption of the new standard and the related disclosure requirements, including the implementation of a third-party leasing software solution. We elected the package of transition expedients, which allows us to keep our existing lease classifications and not reassess whether any existing contracts as of the date of adoption are leases or contain leases and not reassess initial direct cost. In addition, we elected the practical expedients to combine lease and non-lease components for our leases, and for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less to recognize the associated lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As of January 31, 2020, the aggregate balances of lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were $264.0 million and $272.7 million, respectively. The standard did not affect our Consolidated Statements of Income or Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. We will continue to disclose comparative reporting periods prior to November 1, 2019 under the previous accounting guidance, ASC 840 Leases. Accounting Pronouncements Issued Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19 “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”, ASU 2019-04 “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments”, ASU 2019-05 “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”, ASU 2019-11 “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (collectively, “Topic 326”) and ASU 2020-02 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. Topic 326 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, which means it will be effective for our fiscal year beginning November 01, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of Topic 326 on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808), Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606. This guidance amended Topic 808 and Topic 606 to clarify that transactions in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under Topic 606 when the counterparty is a customer for a distinct good or service (i.e., unit of account). The amendments preclude an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue from contracts with customers if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, which means it will be effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This guidance removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including requirements such as tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, ownership changes in investments, and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12 on our consolidated financial statements, which is effective for the Company in our fiscal year and interim periods beginning on November 1, 2021. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. This guidance addresses accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and provides clarification of the interaction of rules for equity securities, the equity method of accounting, and forward contracts and purchase options on certain types of securities. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-01 which is effective for the Company in our fiscal year and interim periods beginning on November 1, 2021.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. An asset’s or liability’s level is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are valued and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the valuation hierarchy: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions. At January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expense and other current assets, lines of credit, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments and the ability to obtain financing on similar terms. The carrying value of our revolving credit facility and term loans approximates fair value estimated based on current market rates (Level 2). The Company did not have any derivative assets or liabilities including no interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps or foreign currency forward contracts as of January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019. Nonrecurring fair value measurements The Company uses fair value measures when determining assets and liabilities acquired in an acquisition as described in Note 3. Acquisitions which are considered a Level 3 measurement.

$500 million Term Loan on September 27, 2019

On September 27, 2019, the Company amended its existing senior unsecured term loan agreement entered into on November 1, 2018 (the 2018 Term Loan Agreement) to establish a new 364-day senior unsecured term loan (the 2019 Term Loan Agreement) with the same parties as the 2018 Term Loan Agreement. The 2019 Term Loan Agreement modifies certain provisions of the 2018 Term Loan Agreement which, among other things, extended the maturity date to September 25, 2020 and increased the aggregate principal amount of the term loan facility from an original amount of $400 million to $500 million. The Company used the additional funds to partially repay outstanding borrowings under the 2017 Term Loan Agreement (as defined below). At January 31, 2020, the Company had $500.0 million outstanding under the 2019 Term Loan Agreement.

Amounts outstanding under the 2019 Term Loan Agreement will bear interest, at the Company's option, at either the base rate, or the adjusted LIBOR (each as defined in the 2019 Term Loan Agreement), plus, in each case, an applicable rate of 0.00% in respect of base rate loans and 0.60% in respect of adjusted LIBOR loans. The weighted average interest rate for the three months ended January 31, 2020 was 2.35%.

The 2019 Term Loan Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, as well as financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a certain Total Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the 2019 Term Loan Agreement) consistent with the 2016 Credit Agreement discussed below.

$1.425 billion Term Loan on November 1, 2017

On November 1, 2017, in connection with the PARAGARD acquisition, the Company entered into a five-year, $1.425 billion, senior unsecured term loan agreement (the 2017 Term Loan Agreement) by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto and DNB Bank ASA, New York Branch, as administrative agent which matures on November 1, 2022. The Company used part of the facility to fund the PARAGARD acquisition and used the remainder of the funds to partially repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.

Amounts outstanding under the 2017 Term Loan Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at either the base rate, or the adjusted LIBOR (each as defined in the 2017 Term Loan Agreement), plus, in each case, an applicable rate of, between 0.00% and 0.75% in respect of base rate loans and between 1.00% and 1.75% in respect of adjusted LIBOR loans, in each case in accordance with a pricing grid tied to the Total Leverage Ratio as defined in the 2017 Term Loan Agreement.

The 2017 Term Loan Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, as well as financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a certain Total Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the 2017 Term Loan Agreement) consistent with the 2016 Credit Agreement discussed below. At January 31, 2020, the Company had $1.0 billion outstanding under the 2017 Term Loan Agreement. The interest rate on the 2017 Term Loan was 2.91% at January 31, 2020.

Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement on March 1, 2016

On March 1, 2016, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (the 2016 Credit Agreement), among the Company, CooperVision International Holding Company, LP, the lenders party thereto and KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent. The 2016 Credit Agreement provides for a multi-currency revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion (the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility) and a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $830.0 million (the 2016 Term Loan Facility), each of which, unless terminated earlier, mature on March 1, 2021. In addition, the Company has the ability from time to time to request an increase to the size of the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility or establish one or more new term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility in an aggregate amount up to $750.0 million, subject to the discretionary participation of the lenders.

Amounts outstanding under the 2016 Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at either the base rate, or the adjusted LIBOR or adjusted foreign currency rate (each as defined in the 2016 Credit Agreement), plus, in each case, an applicable rate of between 0.00% and 0.75% in respect of base rate loans and between 1.00% and 1.75% in respect of adjusted LIBOR or adjusted foreign currency rate loans, in each case in accordance with a pricing grid tied to the Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the 2016 Credit Agreement.

The Company pays an annual commitment fee that ranges from 0.125% to 0.25% of the unused portion of the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility depending on certain financial ratios. In addition to the annual commitment fee, the Company is also required to pay certain letter of credit and related fronting fees and other administrative fees pursuant to the terms of the 2016 Credit Agreement.

At January 31, 2020, the Company had no outstanding balance under the 2016 Term Loan Facility and $235.0 million outstanding under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. $763.8 million was available under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility.

The 2016 Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, as well as financial covenants that require us to maintain a certain Total Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio, each as defined in the 2016 Credit Agreement:


•	Interest Coverage Ratio, as defined, to be at least 3.00 to 1.00 at all times.


•	Total Leverage Ratio, as defined, to be no higher than 3.75 to 1.00.

At January 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the Interest Coverage Ratio at 15.26 to 1.00 and the Total Leverage Ratio at 1.82 to 1.00 for 2019 Term Loan Agreement, 2017 Term Loan Agreement, and 2016 Credit Agreement.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segment Information

The Company discloses information about its operating segments, which were established based on the way that management organizes segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Company's two operating segments are described below.

•

CooperVision. Competes in the worldwide contact lens market by developing, manufacturing and marketing a broad range of products for contact lens wearers, featuring advanced materials and optics. CooperVision designs its products to solve vision challenges such as astigmatism, presbyopia, myopia, ocular dryness and eye fatigues, with a broad collection of spherical, toric and multifocal contact lenses.


•	CooperSurgical. Competes in the general health care market with a focus on advancing the health of women, babies and families through a diversified portfolio of products and services focusing on women's health, fertility, diagnostics and contraception.

Cooper uses operating income, as presented in our financial reports, as the primary measure of segment profitability. We do not allocate costs from corporate functions to segment operating income. Items below operating income are not considered when measuring the profitability of a segment. We use the same accounting policies to generate segment results as we do for our consolidated results.

Total identifiable assets are those used in continuing operations except cash and cash equivalents, which we include as corporate assets.

Income Taxes	Jan. 31, 2020
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Effective Tax Rate The Company's effective tax rates were an expense of 7.1% and a benefit of 10.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 was primarily due to tax benefits for settlement of tax audits and revisions to the provisional tax charges related to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act during fiscal 2019. Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate because of discrete tax benefits and a favorable mix of income from our foreign jurisdictions with preferential tax rates. Total discrete tax benefits for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 were $3.8 million primarily relating to excess tax benefits from share-based compensation. Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate because of discrete tax benefits and favorable mix of income from our foreign jurisdictions with lower tax rates. We recognize the benefit from a tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon audit based solely on the technical merits of the tax position. As of January 31, 2020, and October 31, 2019, Cooper had unrecognized tax benefits of $54.8 million and $49.7 million, respectively. The increase is primarily related to additions to current and prior period transfer pricing reserves, partially offset by release of reserves due to lapse of the statute of limitations. It is our policy to recognize interest and penalties directly related to income taxes as additional income tax expense. It is reasonably possible that $14.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits could be settled during the next twelve months. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for fiscal 2015 through 2019 and the Internal Revenue Service is currently auditing our U.S. Consolidated Corporation Income Tax Returns for fiscal 2015 and 2016. The Company remains subject to income tax examinations in other significant tax jurisdictions including United Kingdom, Japan, France and Australia for the tax years 2014 through 2019. The Company is currently under audit in the United Kingdom for fiscal 2015 through 2018.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies	Contingencies Since March 2015, over 50 putative class action complaints were filed by contact lens consumers alleging that contact lens manufacturers, in conjunction with their respective Unilateral Pricing Policy (UPP), conspired to reach agreements between each other and certain distributors and retailers regarding the prices at which certain contact lenses could be sold to consumers. The plaintiffs are seeking damages against CooperVision, Inc., other contact lens manufacturers, distributors and retailers, in various courts around the United States. In June 2015, all of the class action cases were consolidated and transferred to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. In August 2017, CooperVision entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs, without any admission of liability, to settle all claims against CooperVision. In July 2018, the Court approved the plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary approval of the settlement, and the Company paid the $3.0 million settlement amount into an escrow account. In March 2020, the Court issued an order providing final approval of the settlement and dismissing CooperVision from the class action. The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims and other legal matters from time to time that arise in the ordinary course of conducting business, including matters involving our products, intellectual property, supplier relationships, distributors, competitor relationships, employees and other matters. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings or claims pending against it could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. At each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under ASC 450, Contingencies. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Leases	Leases We consider an arrangement a lease if the arrangement transfers the right to control the use of an identified asset in exchange for consideration. We have operating leases, but do not have material financing leases. Lease right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make payments arising from the lease agreement. These assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement of the lease based upon the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The lease term reflects the noncancelable period of the lease together with periods covered by an option to extend or terminate the lease when management is reasonably certain that it will exercise such option. Changes in the lease term assumption could impact the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recognized on the balance sheet. As our leases typically do not contain a readily determinable implicit rate, we determine the present value of the lease liability using our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date based on the lease term on a collateralized basis.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted and Accounting Pronouncements Issued Not Yet Adopted	Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use (ROU) asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU 2018-11, Leases Topic 842 Target improvements, which provides an additional (and optional) transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) Codification Improvements, which further clarifies the determination of fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers and modifies transition disclosure requirements for changes in accounting principles and other technical updates. We adopted this standard using the optional transition method and recorded an adjustment to the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet on November 1, 2019. We have implemented changes to certain business processes, systems and internal controls to support adoption of the new standard and the related disclosure requirements, including the implementation of a third-party leasing software solution. We elected the package of transition expedients, which allows us to keep our existing lease classifications and not reassess whether any existing contracts as of the date of adoption are leases or contain leases and not reassess initial direct cost. In addition, we elected the practical expedients to combine lease and non-lease components for our leases, and for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less to recognize the associated lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As of January 31, 2020, the aggregate balances of lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were $264.0 million and $272.7 million, respectively. The standard did not affect our Consolidated Statements of Income or Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. We will continue to disclose comparative reporting periods prior to November 1, 2019 under the previous accounting guidance, ASC 840 Leases. Accounting Pronouncements Issued Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19 “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”, ASU 2019-04 “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments”, ASU 2019-05 “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”, ASU 2019-11 “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (collectively, “Topic 326”) and ASU 2020-02 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. Topic 326 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, which means it will be effective for our fiscal year beginning November 01, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of Topic 326 on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808), Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606. This guidance amended Topic 808 and Topic 606 to clarify that transactions in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under Topic 606 when the counterparty is a customer for a distinct good or service (i.e., unit of account). The amendments preclude an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue from contracts with customers if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, which means it will be effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This guidance removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including requirements such as tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, ownership changes in investments, and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12 on our consolidated financial statements, which is effective for the Company in our fiscal year and interim periods beginning on November 1, 2021.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]

Employee Benefits

Cooper’s Retirement Income Plan (the Plan), a defined benefit plan, covers substantially all full-time United States employees. Cooper's contributions are designed to fund normal cost on a current basis and to fund the estimated prior service cost of benefit improvements. The unit credit actuarial cost method is used to determine the annual cost. Cooper pays the entire cost of the Plan and funds such costs as they accrue. Virtually all of the assets of the Plan are comprised of equities and participation in equity and fixed income funds.

Our results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, reflect the following components of net periodic defined benefit costs:



Three Months Ended January 31,
(In millions)	2020			2019

Net periodic defined benefit plan cost	$	3.0		$	1.8

We did not contribute to the Plan in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and expect to contribute $10.0 million during the remainder of fiscal 2020. We did not contribute to the Plan in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The expected rate of return on Plan assets for determining net periodic benefit plan cost is 8%.

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

The Company primarily has operating leases for office, manufacturing and warehouse space, vehicles, and office equipment. Our leases expire on various dates between 2021 and 2046, some of which could include options to extend the lease.

Lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As these leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease's commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We consider information including, but not limited to, the lease term, our credit rating and interest rates of similar debt instruments with comparable credit ratings and security interests. The lease right-of-use assets are increased by any lease prepayments made and reduced by any lease incentives such as tenant improvement allowances. Options to extend the lease term are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the extension option.

The Company’s operating leases typically include non-lease components such as common-area maintenance costs. We have elected to include non-lease components with lease payments for the purpose of calculating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, to the extent that they are fixed. Non-lease components that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease payments.

Leases with a term of one year or less are not recognized on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet, while the associated lease payments are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Commitments under finance lease arrangements of $2.2 million as of January 31, 2020 are not significant and are not included in the disclosure tables below.

Business Combination And Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Acquisitions

The following is a summary of the allocation of the total purchase consideration for business and asset acquisitions that the Company completed during fiscal 2020 and 2019:



(In millions)	January 31, 2020		October 31, 2019
Technology	$	—	$	12.3
Customer relationships	3.4		7.5
Trademarks	—		10.2
Other	—		0.1
Total identifiable intangible assets	$	3.4	$	30.1
Goodwill	4.0		29.8
Net tangible assets	1.8		7.3
Total purchase price	$	9.2	$	67.2

All the acquisitions were funded by cash generated from operations or facility borrowings.

For business acquisitions, we recorded the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the applicable date of acquisition. For assets acquisitions, we recorded the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated and relative fair values as of the applicable date of acquisition.

We believe these acquisitions strengthen CooperSurgical's and CooperVision's businesses through the addition of new distributors or complementary products and services.

Fiscal Year 2020

On December 13, 2019, CooperSurgical completed the acquisition of a privately-held distributor of in vitro fertilization (IVF) medical devices and systems. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and we are in the process of finalizing information and the corresponding impact on goodwill.

The pro forma results of operations of this acquisition has not been presented because the effect of the business combination described above was not material to our consolidated results of operations.

Fiscal Year 2019

On December 28, 2018, CooperVision completed the acquisition of Blanchard Contact Lenses. Blanchard is a privately-held scleral lens company, which expands CooperVision's specialty and scleral lens portfolio.

On December 31, 2018, CooperSurgical completed the acquisition of Incisive Surgical Inc., a privately-held U.S. medical device company that develops mechanical surgical solutions for skin closure.

The pro forma results of operations of these acquisitions have not been presented because the effects of the business combinations described above, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to our reported consolidated financial results.
