Retirement Benefits [Abstract]

Employee Benefits

Note 10. Employee Benefits

Cooper's Retirement Income Plan

The Company's Retirement Income Plan (Plan), a defined benefit plan, is only available to full-time United States employees, subject to the soft freeze mentioned below. The Company'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. The Company 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.

The Company uses individual spot rates along the yield curve that correspond with the timing of each benefit payment to determine the service and interest costs of components of its net periodic benefit cost utilizing the correlation of projected cash outflows and corresponding spot rates on the yield curve.

The following table sets forth the Plan's benefit obligations and fair value of the Plan assets at October 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 and the funded status of the Plan and net periodic pension costs for each of the years in the three-year periods ended October 31, 2024. The net amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of non-current liabilities. The accumulated benefit obligation was $161.7 million, $131.5 million and $134.9 million for the years ended October 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Weighted-average assumptions used in computing the net periodic pension cost and projected benefit obligation at year end:
Discount rate for determining net periodic pension cost:
Projected Benefit Obligation	6.22	%	5.74	%	2.76	%
Service Cost	6.25	%	5.77	%	2.79	%
Interest Cost	6.05	%	5.51	%	2.28	%
Discount rate for determining benefit obligations at year end	5.32	%	6.22	%	5.74	%
Rate of compensation increase for determining expense	3.60	%	3.60	%	3.60	%

Expected rate of return on plan assets at year end	8.00	%	8.00	%	8.00	%
Measurement date for determining assets and benefit obligations at year end	10/31/2024		10/31/2023		10/31/2022

The discount rate enables us to state expected future cash flows at a present value on the measurement date. The discount rate used for the Plan is based primarily on the yields of a universe of high-quality corporate bonds rated AA or above, with durations corresponding to the expected durations of the benefit obligations. A change in the discount rate will cause the present value of benefit obligations to change in the opposite direction.

The expected rate of return on plan assets was determined based on a review of historical returns, both for this plan and for medium- to large-sized defined benefit pension funds with similar asset allocations. This review generated separate expected returns for each asset class listed below. These expected future returns were then blended based on this Plan's target asset allocation.

Reasons for Significant Liability Gains and Losses

The projected benefit obligation experienced a net loss of approximately $26.4 million during the year. This net loss is the result of assumption changes resulting in a loss of approximately $25.0 million and a loss of approximately $1.4 million due to demographic experience. The key assumption changes were a decrease in the discount rate (loss of $14.5 million), change in assumptions for lump sum determination (loss of $8.8 million), an increase in expected future salaries (loss of $1.9 million), and

changes to decrements and payment timing following an experience review (gain of $0.2 million). Changes in demographic experience were due to the net effect of retirement rates, termination rates, salary increases and other experience that was different from assumed.

Plan Assets

Weighted-average asset allocations at year end, by asset category are as follows:


Years Ended October 31,	2024		2023		2022
Asset category
Cash and cash equivalents	3.7	%	2.9	%	2.0	%
Corporate common stock	25.2	%	26.0	%	33.6	%
Equity mutual funds	39.9	%	39.1	%	33.9	%
Balanced funds	2.2	%	2.4	%	1.8	%
Alternative investments	0.8	%	0.7	%	0.9	%


Bond mutual funds	28.2	%	28.9	%	27.8	%
Total	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

The Plan invests in a diversified portfolio of assets intended to minimize risk of poor returns while maximizing expected portfolio returns. To achieve the long-term rate of return, plan assets will be invested in a mixture of instruments, including but not limited to, corporate common stock (may include the Company's stock), investment grade bond funds, cash, balanced funds, real estate funds, small or large cap equity funds and international equity funds. The allocation of assets will be determined by the investment manager and will typically include 50% to 70% equities with the remainder invested in fixed income, hedging strategy funds and cash. Presently, this diversified portfolio is expected to return roughly 8% in the long run.

As of the measurement date of October 31, 2024, the fair value measurement of plan assets is as follows:


(In millions)	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Asset category
Cash and cash equivalents	$	6.1	$	0.4	$	—	$	5.7
Corporate common stock	41.3		41.3		—		—
Equity mutual funds	65.3		65.3		—		—
Balanced Funds	3.7		3.7		—		—
Alternative investments	1.2		1.2		—		—
Fixed income	46.1		19.4		26.7		—


Total	$	163.7	$	131.3	$	26.7	$	5.7

The Plan has an established process for determining the fair value of plan assets. For investments in equity and bond mutual funds, and real estate funds, fair value is based on observable, Level 1 inputs.

Plan Cash Flows

Contributions

The Company made $0.4 million and $1.1 million contributions to the Plan in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively. The Company made no contributions to the Plan for fiscal 2022. The Company closely monitors the funded status of the Plan with respect to legislative and accounting rules. The Company is expected to make contributions totaling $0.0 million to the Plan during fiscal 2025.

2030-2034	$	74.6

Plan Soft Freeze

On June 18, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a soft freeze of the Plan effective August 1, 2019. The Plan was closed to employees hired on or after August 1, 2019, including former participants or employees rehired on or after August 1, 2019, and employees hired in connection with a stock or asset acquisition, merger or other similar transaction on or after August 1, 2019. Existing employees already covered by the Plan, continue to accrue their benefits.

Cooper's 401(k) Savings Plan

Cooper's 401(k) savings plan provides for the deferral of compensation as described in the Internal Revenue Code and is available to substantially all United States employees. Employees who participate in the 401(k) plan may elect to have up to 75% of their pre-tax salary or wages deferred and contributed to the trust established under the Plan. Cooper's contributions on account of participating employees, were $10.1 million, $10.1 million and $9.0 million for the years ended October 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

The Cooper Companies, Inc. (Cooper, we or the Company) is a global medical device company publicly traded on the Nasdaq (Nasdaq: COO). Cooper operates through two business units, CooperVision and CooperSurgical.

•CooperVision primarily develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of soft contact lenses for the worldwide vision correction market.

•CooperSurgical primarily develops, manufactures, markets medical devices and procedures solutions, and provides services to improve fertility and women's health care market.

Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements in this report include the results of all of Cooper's consolidated entities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company continually monitors and evaluates the estimates used as additional information becomes available. Adjustments will be made to these provisions periodically to reflect new facts and circumstances that may indicate that historical experience may not be indicative of current and/or future results.

Revenue Recognition

Net Sales

The Company sells its products principally to a limited number of distributors, group purchasing organizations, eye care or health care professionals including independent practices, corporate retailers, hospitals and clinics or authorized resellers (collectively, its Customers). These Customers may subsequently resell the Company’s products to eye care or health care providers and patients. In addition to product supply and distribution agreements with Customers, the Company enters into arrangements with health care providers and payors that provide for government-mandated and/or privately negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts with respect to the purchase of the Company’s products. The Company considers purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be contracts with a customer. As part of its consideration of the contract, the Company evaluates certain factors including the customer’s ability to pay (or credit risk). For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products or render services, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. The consideration in the contract is allocated among the identified performance obligations based on a relative standalone selling price basis. The standalone selling price for each performance obligation is derived from the actual selling price or estimated using historical data or publicly available information.

Revenues from product sales are recognized when the Customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon shipment or delivery to the Customer. Revenues from service sales are recognized when services are rendered, whether at a point in time or based on the passage of time depending on the type of services.

Stem cell revenue, which includes the initial processing service and ongoing storage service, accounts for the majority of our service revenues. Revenue allocated to the processing service is recognized at a point in time when the cord blood and/or cord tissue is processed and deemed ready for storage. Revenue allocated to storage service is recognized ratably over the terms of the storage contracts, which vary in length. The majority of the contracts have a term of one year or 18 years. Deferred revenue primarily represents prepaid stem cell storage as part of the CooperSurgical business unit. The current portion of the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of each year presented were generally fully recognized in a ratable manner in the subsequent 12-month period. We recognized revenue of approximately $123.6 million and $93.6 million for the year ended October 31, 2024, and October 31, 2023, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at October 31, 2023, and October 31, 2022.

Taxes collected from Customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that the Company would have recognized is one year or less. See Note 12. Business Segment Information for disaggregation of revenue.

Reserves for Variable Consideration

Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established and which result from discounts, returns, chargebacks, rebates and other allowances that are offered within contracts between the Company and its Customers, health care providers, payors and other indirect customers relating to the Company’s sales of its products. These reserves are based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified primarily in current liabilities. Variable consideration is estimated based on the most likely amount or expected value approach, depending on which method the Company expects to better predict the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled. Once the Company elects one of the methods to estimate variable consideration for a particular type of performance obligation, the Company applies that method consistently.

Where appropriate, these estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes which are probability-weighted for relevant factors such as the Company’s historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the contract.

Trade Discounts and Allowances

The Company generally provides Customers with discounts, which include incentive fees that are stated in the Company’s contracts and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized.

Product Returns

Consistent with industry practice, the Company generally offers Customers a limited right of return for a product that has been purchased from the Company. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its Customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. Historically, returns have been infrequent and insignificant relative to our total sales. Our refund liability for product returns is included in "Other current liabilities" in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and represents the expected value of the aggregate refunds that will be due to our customers.

Rebates and Chargebacks

Rebates are estimated based on contractual terms, historical experience, customer mix, trend analysis and projected market conditions in the various markets served.

Chargebacks for fees and discounts to providers represent the estimated obligations resulting from contractual commitments to sell products to qualified healthcare providers at prices lower than the list wholesale prices charged to the Company’s direct customers. For certain office and surgical portfolio in CooperSurgical, customers charge the Company for the difference between what they pay for the product and the ultimate selling price to the qualified healthcare providers. These reserves are established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue. Chargeback amounts are generally determined at the time of resale to the qualified healthcare provider by customers. CooperSurgical rebates are predominately related to the Medicaid rebate provision that is estimated based upon contractual terms, historical experience, and trend analysis.

Share-Based Compensation

We grant various share-based compensation awards, including stock options, performance unit shares, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The Company accounts for share-based compensation expense based on estimated grant-date fair value, and expenses the amount over the vesting period of the award. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating Cooper's stock price volatility, employee exercise behaviors and related employee forfeiture rates.

The expected life of the share-based awards is based on the expected time to post-vesting forfeiture and/or exercise. Groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. In determining the expected volatility, management considers implied volatility from publicly-traded options on Cooper's common stock at the date of grant, historical volatility and other factors. The risk-free interest rate is based on the continuous rates provided by the United States Treasury with a term equal to the expected life of the award. The dividend yield is based on the projected annual dividend payment per share, divided by the stock price at the date of grant.

Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant, based on historical experience, and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

Most of our operations outside the United States use their local currency as their functional currency. We translate these assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. We translate income and expense accounts at average exchange rates for the period. We record gains and losses from the translation of financial statements in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars in other comprehensive income. We record gains and losses from changes in exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than each reporting location's functional currency in net income for each period.

Financial Derivatives and Hedging

Derivatives are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Accounting for gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives depends on the use of the derivative instrument and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting.

The gain or loss on derivative instruments designated and qualifying for cash flow hedge accounting is deferred in other comprehensive income. The changes in fair value for all trades that are not designated for hedge accounting are recognized in current period earnings. Deferred gains or losses from designated cash flow hedges are reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged interest expense affects earnings. The effectiveness of cash flow hedges is assessed at inception and quarterly thereafter. The Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments in its Consolidated Balance Sheets for presentation purposes.

Fair Value Measurements

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.

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 the Company's revolving credit facility and term loans approximates fair value based on current market rates (Level 2). Refer to Note 5. Financing Arrangements for further information.

The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap contracts is measured on a recurring basis by netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on the expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The interest rate swap contracts were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as the inputs to the derivative pricing model are generally observable and do not contain a high level of subjectivity. The fair value of derivative instruments is included in "Other assets" in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. On our Consolidated Financial Statements. the gain or loss on the derivatives is recorded as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" and subsequently reclassified into "Interest expense" in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Refer to Note 13. Financial Derivatives and Hedging for further information.

The Company uses fair value measures for assets and liabilities acquired in an acquisition, which are considered a Level 3 measurement. Contingent consideration for which a liability is recorded and the initial measurement of the joint venture interest are also categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy; and the change in fair value is recognized in "Selling, general and administrative expense" in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value is measured by discounting expected future cash flows. The discount rate used for cash flows reflects capital market conditions and the specific risks associated with the business. Refer to Note 3. Acquisitions and Joint Venture for further information.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are estimated based on enacted income tax laws and the results of operations in each jurisdiction. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are estimated based on temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are also estimated based on net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent it is more likely than not they are not expected to be realized. Adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities due to changes in tax laws, changes in jurisdiction from intra-entity transfers of assets, and changes in judgment regarding a valuation allowance are recognized in provision for income taxes in the quarter in which such changes occur. Long-term tax payable is estimated income tax to be paid for unrecognized tax benefits. A tax benefit

is recognized if it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits in a tax authority examination, based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority. Adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits due to changes in judgment are recognized in provision for income taxes in the quarter in which such changes occur. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in provision for income taxes.

Income taxes include U.S. tax on foreign earnings, which is primarily due to the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) provision of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. An accounting policy choice was allowed to treat GILTI temporary differences in taxable income either as a current-period expense (period cost method) or factor such amounts into the measurement of deferred taxes (deferral method). We chose the period cost method.

Earnings Per Share

We determine basic earnings per share (EPS) by using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. We determine diluted EPS by increasing the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in the denominator by the number of outstanding dilutive equity awards using the treasury stock method.

On February 16, 2024, the Company effected a four-for-one stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock. The par value of the common stock remains at $0.10 per share. Accordingly, an amount equal to the par value of the increased shares resulting from the stock split was reclassified from "Additional paid-in capital" to "Common stock". All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split for all periods presented.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using standard cost that approximates actual cost, on a first-in, first-out basis.


October 31, (In millions)	2024		2023
Raw materials	$	188.2	$	207.3
Work-in-process	18.5		19.0
Finished goods	596.0		509.3
	$	802.7	$	735.6

In assessing the value of inventories, we make estimates and judgments regarding aging of inventories and other relevant issues potentially affecting the salable condition of products and estimated prices at which those products will sell. On an ongoing basis, we review the carrying value of our inventory, measuring number of months on hand and other indications of salability. We reduce the value of inventory if there are indications that the carrying value is greater than net realizable value, resulting in a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory. Subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis. While estimates are involved, historically, obsolescence has not been a significant factor due to long product dating and lengthy product life cycles.

Property, Plant and Equipment

We record property, plant, and equipment at cost. We compute depreciation expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Useful lives are generally 3 to 15 years except for buildings which are depreciated over 30 to 40 years and leasehold improvements, which we amortize over the shorter of the useful life or the lease term. We charge maintenance and repairs to expense as we incur them.


October 31, (In millions)	2024		2023
Land and improvements	$	25.2	$	20.2
Buildings and improvements	557.3		488.5
Machinery and equipment	2,441.7		2,187.1
Construction in progress	532.8		486.3
Property, plant and equipment, at cost	$	3,557.0	$	3,182.1
Less: Accumulated depreciation	1,696.5		1,553.3
Property, plant and equipment, net	$	1,860.5	$	1,628.8
Finance lease ROU assets, net	2.9		3.8
	$	1,863.4	$	1,632.6

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. The Company primarily has operating leases for office, manufacturing and warehouse space, vehicles, and office equipment.

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 lease payments over the lease term. The lease term reflects the noncancellable 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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.

The Company’s operating leases typically include non-lease components such as common-area maintenance costs. The Company has 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 in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, while the associated lease payments are expensed in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Operating leases are classified in “Other current liabilities”, “Other liabilities”, and “Other assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term and included in "Selling, general and administrative expense" in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Financing leases are classified in "Property, plant and equipment, net", "Short-term debt", and "Long-term debt" in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 2. Operating Leases and Note 5. Financing Arrangements for further information.

Cloud Computing Arrangements

The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the acquisition and development of internal use software, including implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement, during the application development stages of projects. Capitalized implementation costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the hosting arrangement, which includes consideration of the non-cancellable contractual term and reasonably certain renewals. Costs incurred during the preliminary project or the post-implementation/operation stages of the project are expensed as incurred. Implementation costs are included in “Other assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of capitalized implementation costs is included in the same line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income as the expense for fees for the associated hosting arrangement.

Valuation of Goodwill

We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually during the fiscal third quarter and when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is reasonably possible that impairment may exist. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. We perform a qualitative assessment to test each reporting unit's goodwill for impairment, which

includes industry and market considerations, overall financial performance and other relevant events and factors affecting each reporting unit. Based on our qualitative assessment, if we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not to be less than its carrying amount, the fair value of a reporting unit will be compared with its carrying amount and an impairment charge will be recognized for the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit.

Long-lived Assets

We review long-lived assets held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. If an evaluation of recoverability is required, the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset group are compared to the asset group's carrying amount to determine if a write-down is required. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the fair value.

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

We assess indefinite-lived intangible assets annually in the third quarter of the fiscal year, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. We evaluate whether the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired by comparing its carrying value to its fair value. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

Business Combinations

We routinely consummate business combinations. Results of operations for acquired companies are included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. We recognize separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, including acquired in-process research and development, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date fair values as defined by accounting standards related to fair value measurements. Key assumptions routinely utilized in allocation of purchase price to intangible assets include discount rates and projected financial information such as revenue projections for companies acquired. As of the acquisition date, goodwill is measured as the excess of consideration given, over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Direct acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

For business acquisitions, the Company records tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the applicable date of acquisition.

Litigation

We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims, litigation, investigations and contingencies arising out of the ordinary course of business. If we believe the likelihood of an adverse legal outcome is probable and the amount is estimable, we accrue a liability in accordance with accounting guidance for contingencies. We consult with legal counsel on matters related to litigation and seek input both within and outside the Company.

Treasury Stock

We record treasury stock purchases under the cost method whereby the entire cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock.

Government Assistance

The Company at times receives government assistance primarily to support manufacturing capital expansion, to create or retain jobs, or to provide tax credits mainly for eligible research and development activities. The Company generally accounts for such government assistance by analogy to IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance and recognizes the assistance when it is probable that it will be received by complying with the prerequisite terms and conditions. For the fiscal year ending October 31, 2024, government assistance of $32.5 million was recorded primarily as a reduction to the cost basis of property, plant, and equipment or reduction to the related expense. Government assistance in prior fiscal years was immaterial.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. The standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income

statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires public entities to disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that exceed a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires all disaggregated information pertaining to taxes paid, net of refunds received, for federal, state and foreign income taxes. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with the option to apply prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances the disclosures required for operating segments in our annual and interim consolidated financial statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, which means it will be effective from our fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning from November 01, 2025, and will be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financial Derivatives and Hedging

Note 13. Financial Derivatives and Hedging

As part of the Company’s overall risk management practices the Company enters into financial derivatives, interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, to hedge the Company's exposure to changes in cash flows associated with its variable rate debt.

Credit risk related to derivative transactions reflects the risk that a party to the transaction could fail to meet its obligation under the derivative contracts. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to the counterparty’s credit risk is generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparty’s obligations to the Company exceed the Company’s obligations to the counterparty. The Company’s policy is to enter into contracts only with financial institutions which meet certain minimum credit ratings to help mitigate counterparty credit risk. From time to time, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on certain trade and intercompany receivables and payables. These foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments, and therefore the net change in their fair value is reported as a gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. As of October 31, 2024, the notional amount of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $47.7 million. The resulting impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements from currency hedging activities was not significant for the years ended October 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

As of October 31, 2024, the Company has nine interest rate swap contracts that have a total notional amount of $1.8 billion and remaining maturities of less than three years.

The following table summarizes the amounts recognized with respect to our derivative instruments within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income:


Periods Ended October 31,
(In millions)		2024		2023		2022
Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges	Location of (Gain)/Loss Recognized on Derivatives
Interest rate swap contracts	Interest expense (income)	$	(55.0)	$	(43.1)	$	2.3

The cumulative pre-tax impact of the gain on derivatives designated for hedge accounting is recognized in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss". The following table details the changes in the cumulative pre-tax impact of the gain on derivatives designated for hedge accounting:


(In millions)	Amount
Balance gain as of October 31, 2022	$	124.5
Amount recognized in other comprehensive income on interest rate swap contracts, gross ($25.7, net of tax)	33.7
Amount reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings, gross ($(32.7), net of tax)	(43.1)
Balance gain as of October 31, 2023	$	115.1
Amount recognized in other comprehensive income on interest rate swap contracts, gross ($(0.6), net of tax)	(0.9)
Amount reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings, gross ($(41.9), net of tax)	(55.0)
Balance gain as of October 31, 2024	$	59.2

Refer to Note 8. Stockholders’ Equity for amounts presented net of the related tax impact in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss".

The Company expects that $(31.5) million recorded as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" will be realized in the Consolidated Statements of Income over the next twelve months and the amount will vary depending on prevailing interest rates.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segment Information

Note 12. 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.

•CooperSurgical. Competes in the fertility and women's health care market through its diversified portfolio of products and services, including fertility products and services, medical devices, cryostorage (such as cord blood and cord tissue storage) and contraception.

The Company uses operating income, as presented in our financial reports, as the primary measure of segment profitability. The Company does not allocate costs from corporate functions to segment operating income. The Company uses the same accounting policies to generate segment results as it does for consolidated results.

No customers accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated net revenue in fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Total identifiable assets are those used in continuing operations except cash and cash equivalents, which the Company includes as corporate assets.

Revolving Credit Agreement on May 1, 2024

On May 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the 2024 Credit Agreement), among the Company, CooperVision International Limited, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The 2024 Credit Agreement provides for a multicurrency revolving credit facility (the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility) in an aggregate principal amount of $2.3 billion which, unless terminated earlier, matures on May 1, 2029. On May 1, 2024, the Company used $1.2 billion under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility to fully repay all borrowings outstanding under the 2020 Term Loan Facility and the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility, and terminated the 2020 Credit Agreement. The Company has an uncommitted option to increase the revolving credit facility or establish a new term loan in an aggregate amount up to the greater of $1.2 billion or 100% of consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement.

The 2024 Credit Agreement will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either the base rate, or the adjusted SOFR, or adjusted foreign currency rate, plus, in each case, an applicable rate of between 0.00% and 0.50% in respect of base rate loans, and between 0.87% and 1.50% in respect of adjusted SOFR 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 2024 Credit Agreement.

The Company pays an annual commitment fee that ranges from 0.10% to 0.20% of the unused portion of the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility based upon the Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement.

The 2024 Credit 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 2024 Credit Agreement, consistent with the 2020 Credit Agreement discussed below.

On October 31, 2024, the Company had $1.0 billion outstanding under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility and the weighted-average interest rate on the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility was 6.05%.

Term Loan Agreement on December 17, 2021

On December 17, 2021, the Company entered into a Term Loan Agreement (the 2021 Credit Agreement) by and among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The 2021 Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility (the 2021 Term Loan Facility) in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, which, unless terminated earlier, matures on December 17, 2026. In addition, the Company has the ability from time to time to request an increase to the commitments under the 2021 Term Loan Facility or to establish a new term loan facility under the 2021 Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $1.1 billion, upon prior written notice to the administrative agent and subject to the discretionary participation of the lenders funding such term loans and certain limitations set forth in the 2021 Credit Agreement.

Amounts outstanding under the 2021 Term Loan Facility will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (i) the alternate base rate, which is a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the administrative agent’s prime rate, (b) one-half of one percent in excess of the federal funds effective rate and (c) one percent in excess of the adjusted SOFR for a one-month interest period in effect on such day, or (ii) the adjusted SOFR, plus, in each case, an applicable rate of, initially, zero basis points, in respect of base rate loans, and 75 basis points, in respect of adjusted SOFR loans. Following a specified period after the closing date, the applicable rates will be determined quarterly by reference to a grid based upon the Company’s ratio of consolidated net indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement.

The Company may prepay loan balances from time to time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than any related breakage costs).

On May 1, 2024, in connection with the Company's entry into the 2024 Credit Agreement, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the 2021 Credit Agreement, modifying the 2021 Credit Agreement by, among other things, conforming certain provisions therein to those contained in the 2024 Credit Agreement.

On October 31, 2024, the Company had $1.5 billion outstanding under the 2021 Term Loan Facility and the interest rate was 5.94%.

Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Oct. 31, 2024
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The financial statements in this report include the results of all of Cooper's consolidated entities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company continually monitors and evaluates the estimates used as additional information becomes available. Adjustments will be made to these provisions periodically to reflect new facts and circumstances that may indicate that historical experience may not be indicative of current and/or future results.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Net Sales The Company sells its products principally to a limited number of distributors, group purchasing organizations, eye care or health care professionals including independent practices, corporate retailers, hospitals and clinics or authorized resellers (collectively, its Customers). These Customers may subsequently resell the Company’s products to eye care or health care providers and patients. In addition to product supply and distribution agreements with Customers, the Company enters into arrangements with health care providers and payors that provide for government-mandated and/or privately negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts with respect to the purchase of the Company’s products. The Company considers purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be contracts with a customer. As part of its consideration of the contract, the Company evaluates certain factors including the customer’s ability to pay (or credit risk). For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products or render services, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. The consideration in the contract is allocated among the identified performance obligations based on a relative standalone selling price basis. The standalone selling price for each performance obligation is derived from the actual selling price or estimated using historical data or publicly available information. Revenues from product sales are recognized when the Customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon shipment or delivery to the Customer. Revenues from service sales are recognized when services are rendered, whether at a point in time or based on the passage of time depending on the type of services. Stem cell revenue, which includes the initial processing service and ongoing storage service, accounts for the majority of our service revenues. Revenue allocated to the processing service is recognized at a point in time when the cord blood and/or cord tissue is processed and deemed ready for storage. Revenue allocated to storage service is recognized ratably over the terms of the storage contracts, which vary in length. The majority of the contracts have a term of one year or 18 years. Deferred revenue primarily represents prepaid stem cell storage as part of the CooperSurgical business unit. The current portion of the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of each year presented were generally fully recognized in a ratable manner in the subsequent 12-month period. We recognized revenue of approximately $123.6 million and $93.6 million for the year ended October 31, 2024, and October 31, 2023, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at October 31, 2023, and October 31, 2022. Taxes collected from Customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that the Company would have recognized is one year or less. See Note 12. Business Segment Information for disaggregation of revenue. Reserves for Variable Consideration Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established and which result from discounts, returns, chargebacks, rebates and other allowances that are offered within contracts between the Company and its Customers, health care providers, payors and other indirect customers relating to the Company’s sales of its products. These reserves are based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified primarily in current liabilities. Variable consideration is estimated based on the most likely amount or expected value approach, depending on which method the Company expects to better predict the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled. Once the Company elects one of the methods to estimate variable consideration for a particular type of performance obligation, the Company applies that method consistently. Where appropriate, these estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes which are probability-weighted for relevant factors such as the Company’s historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the contract. Trade Discounts and Allowances The Company generally provides Customers with discounts, which include incentive fees that are stated in the Company’s contracts and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. Product Returns Consistent with industry practice, the Company generally offers Customers a limited right of return for a product that has been purchased from the Company. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its Customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. Historically, returns have been infrequent and insignificant relative to our total sales. Our refund liability for product returns is included in "Other current liabilities" in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and represents the expected value of the aggregate refunds that will be due to our customers. Rebates and Chargebacks Rebates are estimated based on contractual terms, historical experience, customer mix, trend analysis and projected market conditions in the various markets served. Chargebacks for fees and discounts to providers represent the estimated obligations resulting from contractual commitments to sell products to qualified healthcare providers at prices lower than the list wholesale prices charged to the Company’s direct customers. For certain office and surgical portfolio in CooperSurgical, customers charge the Company for the difference between what they pay for the product and the ultimate selling price to the qualified healthcare providers. These reserves are established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue. Chargeback amounts are generally determined at the time of resale to the qualified healthcare provider by customers. CooperSurgical rebates are predominately related to the Medicaid rebate provision that is estimated based upon contractual terms, historical experience, and trend analysis.
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation We grant various share-based compensation awards, including stock options, performance unit shares, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The Company accounts for share-based compensation expense based on estimated grant-date fair value, and expenses the amount over the vesting period of the award. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating Cooper's stock price volatility, employee exercise behaviors and related employee forfeiture rates. The expected life of the share-based awards is based on the expected time to post-vesting forfeiture and/or exercise. Groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. In determining the expected volatility, management considers implied volatility from publicly-traded options on Cooper's common stock at the date of grant, historical volatility and other factors. The risk-free interest rate is based on the continuous rates provided by the United States Treasury with a term equal to the expected life of the award. The dividend yield is based on the projected annual dividend payment per share, divided by the stock price at the date of grant. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant, based on historical experience, and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation Most of our operations outside the United States use their local currency as their functional currency. We translate these assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. We translate income and expense accounts at average exchange rates for the period. We record gains and losses from the translation of financial statements in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars in other comprehensive income. We record gains and losses from changes in exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than each reporting location's functional currency in net income for each period
Financial Derivatives and Hedging	Financial Derivatives and Hedging Derivatives are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Accounting for gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives depends on the use of the derivative instrument and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The gain or loss on derivative instruments designated and qualifying for cash flow hedge accounting is deferred in other comprehensive income. The changes in fair value for all trades that are not designated for hedge accounting are recognized in current period earnings. Deferred gains or losses from designated cash flow hedges are reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged interest expense affects earnings. The effectiveness of cash flow hedges is assessed at inception and quarterly thereafter. The Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments in its Consolidated Balance Sheets for presentation purposes.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements 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. 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 the Company's revolving credit facility and term loans approximates fair value based on current market rates (Level 2). Refer to Note 5. Financing Arrangements for further information. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap contracts is measured on a recurring basis by netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on the expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The interest rate swap contracts were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as the inputs to the derivative pricing model are generally observable and do not contain a high level of subjectivity. The fair value of derivative instruments is included in "Other assets" in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. On our Consolidated Financial Statements. the gain or loss on the derivatives is recorded as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" and subsequently reclassified into "Interest expense" in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Refer to Note 13. Financial Derivatives and Hedging for further information. The Company uses fair value measures for assets and liabilities acquired in an acquisition, which are considered a Level 3 measurement. Contingent consideration for which a liability is recorded and the initial measurement of the joint venture interest are also categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy; and the change in fair value is recognized in "Selling, general and administrative expense" in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value is measured by discounting expected future cash flows. The discount rate used for cash flows reflects capital market conditions and the specific risks associated with the business.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income taxes are estimated based on enacted income tax laws and the results of operations in each jurisdiction. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are estimated based on temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are also estimated based on net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent it is more likely than not they are not expected to be realized. Adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities due to changes in tax laws, changes in jurisdiction from intra-entity transfers of assets, and changes in judgment regarding a valuation allowance are recognized in provision for income taxes in the quarter in which such changes occur. Long-term tax payable is estimated income tax to be paid for unrecognized tax benefits. A tax benefit is recognized if it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits in a tax authority examination, based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority. Adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits due to changes in judgment are recognized in provision for income taxes in the quarter in which such changes occur. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in provision for income taxes. Income taxes include U.S. tax on foreign earnings, which is primarily due to the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) provision of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. An accounting policy choice was allowed to treat GILTI temporary differences in taxable income either as a current-period expense (period cost method) or factor such amounts into the measurement of deferred taxes (deferral method). We chose the period cost method.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share We determine basic earnings per share (EPS) by using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. We determine diluted EPS by increasing the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in the denominator by the number of outstanding dilutive equity awards using the treasury stock method. On February 16, 2024, the Company effected a four-for-one stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock. The par value of the common stock remains at $0.10 per share. Accordingly, an amount equal to the par value of the increased shares resulting from the stock split was reclassified from "Additional paid-in capital" to "Common stock". All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split for all periods presented.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using standard cost that approximates actual cost, on a first-in, first-out basis. In assessing the value of inventories, we make estimates and judgments regarding aging of inventories and other relevant issues potentially affecting the salable condition of products and estimated prices at which those products will sell. On an ongoing basis, we review the carrying value of our inventory, measuring number of months on hand and other indications of salability. We reduce the value of inventory if there are indications that the carrying value is greater than net realizable value, resulting in a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory. Subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis. While estimates are involved, historically, obsolescence has not been a significant factor due to long product dating and lengthy product life cycles.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment We record property, plant, and equipment at cost. We compute depreciation expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Useful lives are generally 3 to 15 years except for buildings which are depreciated over 30 to 40 years and leasehold improvements, which we amortize over the shorter of the useful life or the lease term. We charge maintenance and repairs to expense as we incur them.
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. The Company primarily has operating leases for office, manufacturing and warehouse space, vehicles, and office equipment. 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 lease payments over the lease term. The lease term reflects the noncancellable 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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. The Company’s operating leases typically include non-lease components such as common-area maintenance costs. The Company has 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 in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, while the associated lease payments are expensed in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating leases are classified in “Other current liabilities”, “Other liabilities”, and “Other assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term and included in "Selling, general and administrative expense" in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Financing leases are classified in "Property, plant and equipment, net", "Short-term debt", and "Long-term debt" in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Cloud Computing Arrangements	Cloud Computing Arrangements The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the acquisition and development of internal use software, including implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement, during the application development stages of projects. Capitalized implementation costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the hosting arrangement, which includes consideration of the non-cancellable contractual term and reasonably certain renewals. Costs incurred during the preliminary project or the post-implementation/operation stages of the project are expensed as incurred. Implementation costs are included in “Other assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of capitalized implementation costs is included in the same line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income as the expense for fees for the associated hosting arrangement.
Valuation of Goodwill	Valuation of Goodwill We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually during the fiscal third quarter and when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is reasonably possible that impairment may exist. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. We perform a qualitative assessment to test each reporting unit's goodwill for impairment, which includes industry and market considerations, overall financial performance and other relevant events and factors affecting each reporting unit. Based on our qualitative assessment, if we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not to be less than its carrying amount, the fair value of a reporting unit will be compared with its carrying amount and an impairment charge will be recognized for the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit.
Long-lived Assets	Long-lived Assets We review long-lived assets held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. If an evaluation of recoverability is required, the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset group are compared to the asset group's carrying amount to determine if a write-down is required. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the fair value.
Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets	Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets We assess indefinite-lived intangible assets annually in the third quarter of the fiscal year, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. We evaluate whether the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired by comparing its carrying value to its fair value. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
Business Combinations	Business Combinations We routinely consummate business combinations. Results of operations for acquired companies are included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. We recognize separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, including acquired in-process research and development, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date fair values as defined by accounting standards related to fair value measurements. Key assumptions routinely utilized in allocation of purchase price to intangible assets include discount rates and projected financial information such as revenue projections for companies acquired. As of the acquisition date, goodwill is measured as the excess of consideration given, over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Direct acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. For business acquisitions, the Company records tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the applicable date of acquisition.
Litigation And Contingencies and Commitments	Litigation We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims, litigation, investigations and contingencies arising out of the ordinary course of business. If we believe the likelihood of an adverse legal outcome is probable and the amount is estimable, we accrue a liability in accordance with accounting guidance for contingencies. We consult with legal counsel on matters related to litigation and seek input both within and outside the Company. 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.
Treasury Stock	Treasury Stock We record treasury stock purchases under the cost method whereby the entire cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock.
Government Assistance	Government Assistance The Company at times receives government assistance primarily to support manufacturing capital expansion, to create or retain jobs, or to provide tax credits mainly for eligible research and development activities. The Company generally accounts for such government assistance by analogy to IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance and recognizes the assistance when it is probable that it will be received by complying with the prerequisite terms and conditions. For the fiscal year ending October 31, 2024, government assistance of $32.5 million was recorded primarily as a reduction to the cost basis of property, plant, and equipment or reduction to the related expense. Government assistance in prior fiscal years was immaterial.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued Not Yet Adopted	Accounting Pronouncements Issued Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. The standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires public entities to disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that exceed a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires all disaggregated information pertaining to taxes paid, net of refunds received, for federal, state and foreign income taxes. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with the option to apply prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances the disclosures required for operating segments in our annual and interim consolidated financial statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, which means it will be effective from our fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning from November 01, 2025, and will be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Stock Plans

Note 9. Stock Plans

All share, restricted stock unit (RSU), option, per share, per RSU and per option information presented below have been adjusted to reflect the four-for-one stock split effected on February 16, 2024. Refer to Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies.

2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2007 Plan)

In March 2007, we received stockholder approval of the 2007 Plan. The 2007 Plan was subsequently amended and restated, and granted stockholder approval in March 2009, March 2011, and March 2016.

The 2007 Plan authorizes either our Board of Directors, or a designated committee thereof composed of two or more non-employee directors, to grant to eligible individuals during the period ending December 31, 2026, up to 27,720,000 shares in the form of specified equity awards including stock options, restricted stock units and performance share awards. RSUs have no dividend or voting rights prior to vesting. Awards under the 2007 Plan remain outstanding but new awards are no longer being granted.

2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2023 Plan)

In March 2023, we received stockholder approval of the 2023 Plan. The 2023 Plan authorizes either our Board of Directors, or a designated committee thereof composed of two or more non-employee directors, to grant to eligible individuals up to 5,460,000 shares in the form of specified equity awards including stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance share units (PSUs), subject to adjustment for future stock splits, stock dividends, expirations, forfeitures, and similar events. In addition, the

2023 Plan includes any shares which were available for issuance under the 2007 Plan at the time of stockholder approval of this plan and shares which become available as a result of the forfeiture or expiration of awards made under the 2007 Plan.

As of October 31, 2024, 4,852,018 shares remained available under the 2023 Plan for future grants. The amount of available shares includes shares which may be distributed under performance shares.

Share-Based Compensation

The compensation expense and related income tax benefit recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Income for share-based awards, including the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, were as follows:


October 31,
(In millions)	2024		2023		2022
Selling, general and administrative expense	$	67.6	$	54.8	$	46.7
Cost of sales	4.7		4.2		4.5
Research and development expense	2.8		3.1		3.0
Total compensation expense	$	75.1	$	62.1	$	54.2
Related income tax benefit	$	12.1	$	5.0	$	5.0

Stock Options

The fair value of each stock option award granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and assumptions noted in the following table.


Years Ended October 31,	2024		2023		2022
Expected life	4.9 years		4.5 years		4.1 years
Expected volatility	29.1	%	29.5	%	25.8	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.2	%	3.8	%	1.1	%
Dividend yield	—	%	0.02	%	0.02	%

The activity and status of our stock option plans are summarized below:


	Number of Shares	Weighted- Average Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at October 31, 2023	4,310,224	$	69.32
Granted	14,220	$	85.07
Exercised	(1,028,632)	$	50.53
Forfeited or expired	(3,344)	$	82.46
Outstanding at October 31, 2024	3,292,468	$	75.25	5.26	$	96,903,913
Vested and expected to vest at October 31, 2024	3,265,227	$	75.14	5.24	$	96,439,520
Vested and exercisable at October 31, 2024	2,507,860	$	71.38	4.74	$	83,521,576

The weighted-average fair value of options granted during fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022, estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $26.54, $25.79 and $22.60. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $51.3 million, $13.4 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

Stock options outstanding under our current plans have been granted at prices which are either equal to or above the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the 2007 Plan and 2023 Plan generally vest over a range of three to five years based on service conditions and expire no later than ten years after the grant date. We generally recognize compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. As of October 31, 2024, there was $8.2 million of total unrecognized

compensation cost related to non-vested options, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.7 years.

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs granted under the 2007 Plan and the 2023 Plan generally vest over three to five years. The grant-date fair value of RSUs is estimated based on the market price of our common stock. We recognize compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. As of October 31, 2024, there was $68.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.5 years. The total fair value of RSU grants that vested during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $40.9 million, $37.3 million and $46.1 million, respectively.

The status of our non-vested RSUs is summarized below:


	Number of Shares	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Non-vested RSUs at October 31, 2023	1,160,116	$	86.26
Granted	678,431	$	85.97
Vested and issued	(436,768)	$	83.80
Forfeited or expired	(103,056)	$	86.38
Non-vested RSUs at October 31, 2024	1,298,723	$	86.92

Performance Units

Performance units may be granted to selected key employees with vesting contingent upon meeting certain performance goals over a defined performance cycle, usually three years. Performance units, if earned, may be paid in cash or shares of common stock. We granted performance unit awards on December 13, 2022, December 7, 2021, and December 8, 2020, under the 2007 Plan, with three-year performance periods ending in fiscal 2026, fiscal 2025, and fiscal 2024 respectively. The performance shares actually earned will range from zero to 200% of the target number of performance shares. Subject to limited exceptions set forth in the performance share agreement, any shares earned will be distributed in the subsequent fiscal year after the performance period. The fair value of performance unit awards is estimated on the date of grant based on the current market price of our common stock. The amount of compensation expense related to these performance unit awards is reviewed each fiscal quarter and adjustments are recorded after assessing the probability of achieving the performance goals.

We recognize compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. As of October 31, 2024, there was $16.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance units, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.7 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On March 18, 2019, the Company received stockholder approval for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The first offering period began on November 4, 2019, and offerings are generally made on a quarterly basis. The purpose of the ESPP is to provide eligible employees of the Company with the opportunity to acquire shares of common stock at 85% of the market price on the last business day of each offering period by means of accumulated payroll deductions. The ESPP initially authorized the issuance of 4,000,000 shares of common stock. These shares will be made available from shares of common stock reacquired by the Company as Treasury Stock. During fiscal 2024 and 2023, we issued 107,031 and 104,464 shares to our employees under the ESPP, respectively. At October 31, 2024, the number of shares remaining available for future issuance under the ESPP was 3,580,869 shares. Total ESPP share-based compensation recognized during fiscal 2024 and 2023 was $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Acquisitions and Joint Venture	12 Months Ended
Acquisitions and Joint Venture	Oct. 31, 2024
Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Joint Venture	Note 3. Acquisitions and Joint Venture All acquisitions were funded by cash generated from operations or facility borrowings. The Company believes these acquisitions strengthen CooperSurgical's and CooperVision's businesses through the addition of new distributors or complementary products and services. Fiscal Year 2024 On August 1, 2024, CooperSurgical completed the acquisition of obp Surgical, a U.S.-based medical device company with a suite of single-use cordless surgical retractors with integrated light source and evacuation channels. The purchase price of the acquisition was $100.0 million. Assets acquired consisted primarily of $45.6 million of developed technology, $8.5 million of customer relationships, $7.7 million of inventory, $5.4 million of other net assets, and $50.6 million of goodwill, which is primarily related to expected synergies from combined operations. The Company is in the process of finalizing purchase accounting information. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. On June 7, 2024, CooperSurgical acquired a fertility company that specializes in sperm separation devices. The purchase price of the acquisition was $33.5 million. The Company accounted for this acquisition as an asset acquisition, whereby the Company allocated the total cost of the acquisition to the net assets acquired on the basis of their estimated relative fair values on the acquisition date. The primary asset acquired in this asset acquisition is a composite intangible asset of $39.6 million. The value of the composite intangible asset reflects, in addition to the purchase price, a deferred tax liability of $8.3 million arising from book/tax basis differences generated upon the acquisition. The composite intangible asset encompasses the portfolio of intellectual property associated with the sperm separation devices including the patents, trademarks, customer relationships, regulatory approvals, and commercialization rights, which have been valued as a single composite intangible asset as they are inextricably linked. On November 1, 2023, CooperSurgical completed the acquisition of select Cook Medical assets focused primarily on the obstetrics, doppler monitoring, and gynecology surgery markets. The purchase price of the acquisition was $300.0 million, with $200.0 million paid at closing and two cash payments of $50.0 million each to be paid on November 1, 2024, and November 1, 2025. The present value of the acquisition purchase price was $291.6 million, which is included in the Company's balance sheet. Assets acquired primarily comprised of $157.9 million of technologies, $26.6 million of customer relationship related intangibles, and $107.2 million of goodwill. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Fiscal Year 2023 On November 1, 2022, CooperVision completed the acquisition of a privately-held U.S.-based company that provides a broad portfolio of technologically advanced contact lens products, including scleral and hybrid lenses. The purchase price of the acquisition was $33.0 million. Assets acquired primarily comprised of $12.6 million of customer relationship related intangibles, $7.6 million of technology, $5.1 million of net assets and $7.7 million of goodwill. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

This analysis considers historical taxable income, the projected reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected taxable income and tax planning strategies. Based upon this analysis, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance, will be realized.

At October 31, 2024, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $74.0 million and state net operating loss carryforwards of $85.0 million. Federal net operating loss carryforwards of $24.2 million expire on various dates from fiscal 2026 through fiscal 2038 and $49.8 million do not expire. The state net operating loss carryforwards expire on various dates from fiscal 2025 through fiscal 2044.

The remaining transition tax to be remitted from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 is $66.4 million and $36.9 million as of October 31, 2024, and October 31, 2025, respectively.

A tax benefit is recognized if it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained on its technical merits, based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority.

Changes in unrecognized tax benefits:


(In millions)

Increase based on tax positions in current fiscal year	1.0


Lapses of statutes of limitations	(5.9)

Balance at October 31, 2024	$	326.8

These tax benefits, if recognized, would reduce provision for income taxes for fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022, by $323.7 million, $323.2 million, and $324.3 million, respectively. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in provision for income taxes. At October 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were $10.7 million, $5.8 million, and $5.4 million, respectively.
