Forward Guidance

CooperCompanies provided fiscal year 2022 guidance, with total revenue expected to be between $3,032 and $3,090 million and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share between $13.60 and $14.00. This guidance does not include the Generate Life Sciences acquisition.

Positive Outlook

  • Fiscal 2022 total revenue $3,032 - $3,090 million (up 6% to 8% in constant currency)
  • CVI revenue $2,225 - $2,267 million (up 6% to 8% in constant currency)
  • CSI revenue $807 - $823 million (up 6% to 8% in constant currency)
  • Fiscal 2022 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share $13.60 - $14.00 (up 9.5% to 12.5% in constant currency)
  • Company is well positioned to continue executing on our growth strategies across both businesses

Challenges Ahead

  • Our fiscal year 2022 guidance does not include the Generate Life Sciences acquisition announced on November 10th, 2021.
  • Excludes amortization and impairment of intangible assets, and other exceptional or unusual income or gains and charges or expenses including acquisition, integration and manufacturing related costs which we may incur as part of our continuing operations.
  • The company has not reconciled non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance to GAAP diluted earnings per share due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting acquisition-related, integration and restructuring charges and expenses.
  • Due to the unknown effect, timing and potential significance of such charges and expenses that impact GAAP diluted earnings per share, the Company is not able to provide such guidance.
  • Resurgences as a significant risk factor to our outlook
