Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1. General

The accompanying ~~unaudited~~Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of the Cooper Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim ~~consolidated condensed~~financial information and with the requirements of Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01 for financial statements required to be filed as a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless the context requires otherwise, terms "the Company", "we", "us", and "our" are used to refer collectively to the Cooper Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

The accompanying 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, ~~2018.~~2019. The ~~unaudited interim financial statements~~Consolidated Condensed 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 ~~Pronouncements Recently Adopted~~Policies

~~In July~~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 ~~FASB issued ASU 2019-07,~~ ~~Codification Updates to SEC Sections. The ASU clarifies or improves the disclosure and presentation requirements~~adoption of a variety of codification topics by aligning them with the SEC’s regulations, thereby eliminating redundancies and making the codification easier to apply. The Company adopted this guidance during third quarter of fiscal 2019, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s reported consolidated financial results.

~~In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued~~ Accounting Standards Update (ASU) ~~2017-07,~~2016-02, ~~Compensation - Retirement Benefits~~Leases (Topic ~~715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost~~. The ASU requires an entity to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost. The service cost component is now presented in the same income statement line as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period and the other components of net benefit costs are presented separately as other income/expense below operating income. The Company adopted this guidance on November 1, 2018, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s reported consolidated financial results.

~~In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16,~~ ~~Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory~~842), which ~~requires entities~~is described below.

Leases

We consider an arrangement a lease if the arrangement transfers the right to ~~recognize~~control the ~~income tax consequences on an intra-entity transfer~~use of an identified asset ~~other than inventory when~~in exchange for consideration. We have operating leases, but do not have material financing leases. Lease right-of-use assets represent the ~~transfer occurs. The ASU changes~~right to use an underlying asset for the ~~timing~~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 ~~recognition~~lease based upon the present value of the ~~income tax consequences~~future minimum lease payments over the lease term.

The lease term reflects the noncancelable period of ~~non-inventory transfers which under previous guidance deferred~~ the ~~income tax consequences until~~lease together with periods covered by an option to extend or terminate the asset was sold to an outside party or otherwise recognized. The guidance for the amendments of ASU 2016-16 requires companies to apply a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earningslease when management is reasonably certain that it will exercise such option. Changes in the ~~period~~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 ~~adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2016-16 in~~ the ~~first quarter of fiscal 2019~~lease liability using our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date based on the lease term on a ~~modified retrospective~~collateralized basis.

Estimates

The ~~Company recorded~~World Health Organization has categorized the ~~cumulative effect~~Coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a severe global health crisis, along with economic and societal disruptions and uncertainties, which have negatively impacted business and healthcare activity globally. As a result of healthcare systems responding to the demands of managing the pandemic, governments around the world imposing measures designed to reduce the transmission of the ~~change as a decrease~~COVID-19 virus, and individuals responding to ~~retained earnings~~the concerns of ~~approximately $13.3 million.~~ contracting the COVID-19 virus, many of our optical retailers, hospital, medical office and fertility clinic customers have closed their facilities, restricted access, or delayed or cancelled patient visits, exams and elective medical procedures. This has had, and we believe will continue to have, an adverse effect on our sales, operating results and cash flows, although the extent of which is uncertain.

The ~~cumulative effect adjustment represents~~preparation of Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the ~~recognition of unrecognized income tax effects from intra-entity transfers~~reported amounts of assets ~~other than inventory that occurred prior to~~and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of ~~adoption.~~

~~In May 2014,~~ the ~~FASB issued ASU 2014-09,~~ ~~Revenue~~financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from ~~Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).~~those estimates particularly as it relates to estimates reliant on forecasts and other assumptions reasonably available to the Company and the uncertain future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruptions. The ~~ASU requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration~~extent to which the ~~entity expects~~COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruptions impact our business and financial results will depend on future developments including, but not limited to, ~~be entitled in exchange for those goods~~the continued spread, duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic; the occurrence, spread, duration and severity of any subsequent wave or ~~services. The amendments in~~waves of outbreaks after the ~~ASU can be applied either retrospectively~~initial outbreak has subsided; the actions taken by the U.S. and foreign governments to ~~each prior reporting period presented~~contain the COVID-19 pandemic, address its impact or ~~alternatively,~~respond to the modified retrospective transition method whereby the company recognizes the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance as an opening balance sheet adjustment to equity in the period of initial application. This alternative approach must be supplemented by additional disclosures.reduction

We adopted ASU 2014-09 on November 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method. We did not recognize any cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to our opening balance of retained earnings due to its immaterial impact. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. There was no material impact of ASU 2014-09 to our financial statements during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2019. We do not expect the adoption of the new revenue standard to have a material impact to our net income on an ongoing basis.

in global and local economic activity; the occurrence, duration and severity of a global, regional or national recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event; the impact of the developments described above on our customers and suppliers; and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to:

allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses

carrying value of inventory

the carrying value of the goodwill and other long-lived assets.

There was not a material impact to the above estimates in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for the three and six months ended April 30, 2020. The ~~Company applies~~Company’s future assessment of the ~~provisions~~magnitude and duration of ~~Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606-10 or ASU 2014-09,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~,COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in material changes to the estimates and ~~all related appropriate guidance. The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle to depict the transfer of control~~material impacts to the Company’s ~~customers~~Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. In order to achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. For a complete discussion of accounting for net product revenue, see Note 2. Revenue Recognition.future reporting periods.

Accounting Pronouncements ~~Issued Not Yet~~Recently Adopted

~~In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18,~~ I~~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. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-18 which is effective for the Company in our fiscal year and interim periods beginning on November 1, 2020.

~~In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15,~~ ~~Intangibles-Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract.~~ This guidance requires companies to apply the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to determine whether to capitalize certain implementation costs or expense them as incurred. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-15 which is effective for the Company in our fiscal year and interim periods beginning on November 1, 2020.

Inn February 2016, the ~~FASB~~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 costs. 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 and Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As of April 30, 2020, the aggregate balances of lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were $255.5 million and $264.2 million, respectively. The standard did not affect our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive 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”), ASU 2020-02 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842) and ASU 2020-03 CodificationImprovementstoFinancialInstruments. 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 Condensed 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 Condensed 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 Condensed Financial Statements, which is effective for the Company in our fiscal year and interim periods beginning on November 1, ~~2019.~~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 ~~anticipate this standard~~are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-01 on our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, which is effective for the Company in our fiscal year and interim periods beginning on November 1, 2021.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, ReferenceRateReform (Topic848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and related disclosures due to the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. However, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our Consolidated Statements of Income. We are continuing to assess and evaluate the potential impacts of the standard as well as the election of transition method and certain practical expedients available within ASU 2019-01. We are in the process of documenting and analyzing our lease contracts, assessing business processes and controls, implementing a system solution and completing our analysis of information necessary to determine the impact to the consolidated financial statements.Condensed Financial Statements.

~~Note 2. Revenue Recognition~~

~~Product Revenue, Net~~

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 subsequently resell the Company’s products to eye care or health care

THE COOPER COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

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 customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be contracts with a customer. In situations where sales are to a distributor, the Company has concluded that its contracts are with the distributor. 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, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations.

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. When the Company performs shipping and handling activities after the transfer of control to the Customer (e.g., when control transfers prior to delivery), they are considered as fulfillment activities, and accordingly, the costs are accrued for when the related revenue is recognized. Taxes collected from Customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues. The Company does not have any revenue recognized on payment expected to be received more than one year after the transfer of control of the products. 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 Note14. 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. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.

~~Trade Discounts and Allowances~~Note 2. Leases

The Company ~~generally provides Customers~~primarily has operating leases for office, manufacturing and warehouse space, vehicles, and office equipment. Our leases expire on various dates between 2020 and 2045, 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 ~~discounts, which~~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 ~~incentive fees~~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 ~~stated in~~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 Company’s contracts and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. In addition, the Company receives sales order management, data and distribution services from certain Customers. To the extent the services received are distinct from the Company’s sale of products to the Customer and have readily determinable fair value, theseassociated lease payments are ~~classified in selling, general and administrative expenses~~recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income ofand Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the ~~Company.~~

~~Product Returns~~lease term.

~~Consistent with industry practice, the Company generally offers Customers a limited right~~Commitments under finance lease arrangements of ~~return for a product that has been purchased from the Company. The Company estimates the amount~~$1.9 million as of ~~its product sales that may be returned by its Customers~~April 30, 2020 are not significant and ~~records this estimate as a reduction of revenue~~are not included in the ~~period~~disclosure tables below.

~~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 products 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.

~~Contract balances~~

~~The timing of billing and revenue recognition primarily occurs simultaneously. The Company does not have material contract assets or liabilities.~~

Effective April 30, 2019, there was a change in the reporting units as a result of realignment in the internal reporting structure of the business around markets and customers at CooperSurgical. As such, Cooper Surgical has evolved into 2 reporting units, namely, Office/Surgical and Fertility, which reflects management oversight of operations. The change in reporting units did not result in a change in operating segments. We allocated CooperSurgical's goodwill based on relative fair values utilizing the discounted cash flow method and guideline public company method as our allocation base, and the allocated fair values exceeded the carrying values for each of the 3 reporting units as of April 30, 2019.

We performed a qualitative assessment to test each reporting unit's goodwill for impairment. Qualitative factors considered in this assessment include 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. A reporting unit is the level of reporting at which goodwill is tested for impairment. Our reporting units are CooperVision, Office/Surgical and Fertility reflecting the current way we manage our business. Goodwill impairment analysis and measurement is a process that requires significant judgment. If our common stock price trades below book value per share, there are changes in market conditions or a future downturn in our business, or a future goodwill impairment test indicates an impairment of our goodwill, we may have to recognize a non-cash impairment of goodwill that could be material and could adversely affect our results of operations in the period recognized and also adversely affect our total assets and stockholders' equity.

~~Recent Tax Legislation~~

The 2017 Act was enacted into law on December 22, 2017 and significantly changed existing U.S. tax law. The 2017 Act adopted a territorial tax system, imposed a mandatory one-time transition tax on earnings of foreign subsidiaries that were previously indefinitely reinvested, and reduces the U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%. For third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company has utilized the enacted U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%.

The 2017 Act includes several provisions that are effective for our fiscal 2019: (i) tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) of foreign subsidiaries, (ii) tax on certain payments between a U.S. corporation and its foreign subsidiaries referred to as the base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT), (iii) limitation on the tax deduction for interest payments, and (iv) expanded limitation on the tax deduction for compensation paid to certain executives.

The 2017 Act was effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we recorded tax benefit of $4.4 million in our financial statements to finalize the tax effects of the 2017 Act pursuant to SAB 118. The Company is no longer asserting that earnings from our foreign subsidiaries are indefinitely reinvested.

The 2017 Act imposes a new tax on foreign earnings and profits in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign subsidiaries referred to as GILTI which is effective in fiscal 2019. In accordance with FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 740, No. 5, ~~Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, the Company made an accounting policy election to recognize the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred.~~

Recent Tax Legislation

Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) was enacted and signed into law in response to the market volatility and instability resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes a significant number of tax provisions and lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The changes are mainly related to: (1) the business interest expense disallowance rules for 2019 and 2020; (2) net operating loss rules; (3) charitable contribution limitations; (4) employee retention credit; and (5) the realization of corporate alternative minimum tax credits.

The Company continues to assess the impact and future implications of these provisions; however, it does not anticipate any amounts that could give rise to a material impact to the overall Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Effective Tax Rate

The Company's income tax provision for the three and six months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, were as follows:

Our effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate because of discrete tax benefits and a favorable mix of income from our foreign jurisdictions with lower tax rates. Total discrete tax benefits for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 were $26.7 million primarily relating to settlement of tax audits, revisions to the provisional tax charges relating to the 2017 Act and excess tax benefits from share-based ~~compensation.

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.

~~Employee Stock Purchase Plan~~

~~On March~~

18 2019, the Company received stockholder approval for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The first offering period is for U.S. employees and is expected to begin on November 4, 2019. 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. Payroll deductions will be limited to maximum of 15% of the employee’s eligible compensation, not to exceed $21.3 thousand in any one calendar year. The ESPP would initially authorize the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of common stock. These shares will be made available from shares of common stock reacquired by the Company as Treasury Stock. At July 31, 2019, there were approximately 3.6 million shares of Treasury Stock.

Share Repurchases

In December 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the 2012 Share Repurchase Program and through subsequent amendments, the most recent in March 2017, the total repurchase authorization was increased from $500.0 million to $1.0 billion of the Company's common stock. This program has no expiration date and may be discontinued at any time. Purchases under the 2012 Share Repurchase Program are subject to a review of the circumstances in place at the time and may be made from time to time as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements.

~~We did 0t repurchase shares in the third and second quarters of fiscal 2019.~~ During the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, we repurchased ~~24.5~~160.8 thousand shares of the Company's common stock for ~~$6.1~~$47.8 million, at an average purchase price of ~~$248.70~~$296.88 per share. ~~We did 0t~~There was 0 share repurchase ~~shares~~activity during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. During the fiscal year ended October 31, ~~2018.~~2019, we repurchased 537.0 thousand shares of our common stock for $156.1 million under the 2012 Share Repurchase Program. At ~~July 31, 2019, $557.4~~April 30, 2020, $359.7 million ~~remains~~remained authorized for repurchase under the program.

Dividends

We paid a semiannual dividend of approximately $1.5 million or 3 cents per share, on February ~~8, 2019,~~10, 2020, to stockholders of record on January ~~22, 2019. We paid another semiannual dividend of approximately $1.5 million or 3 cents per share on August 7, 2019, to stockholders of record on July~~ 23, ~~2019.~~2020.

Note 11. 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 ~~July 31, 2019~~April 30, 2020 and October 31, ~~2018,~~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). On April 6, 2020 the Company entered into 6 interest rate swap contracts which are used to hedge the Company’s exposure to changes in cash flows associated with its variable rate term loans and are designated as a derivative in a cash flow hedge. The payment streams are based on a total notional amount of $1.5 billion at the inception of the contracts. The interest rate swap contracts have maturities of seven years or less.

THE COOPER COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

There was no ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swap contracts. The gain or loss on the derivative is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

The fair value of the interest rate swap contracts are 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. Refer to Note 15. Financial Derivatives and Hedging for further information.

The Company did 0t have any derivative assets or liabilities ~~that may include~~including interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps or foreign currency forward contracts as of ~~July 31, 2019 and~~ October 31, ~~2018.~~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. ~~The Company also used fair value measures to allocate goodwill upon the split of our reporting units as discussed in Note 5. Intangible Assets which was considered a Level 3 measurement.~~

Note 12. Employee Benefits

Cooper’s Retirement Income Plan (the Plan), a defined benefit plan, covers substantially all full-time United States employees. ~~Our~~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.

We did 0t contribute to the Plan in the first half of fiscal 2020 and due to COVID-19 we are uncertain of the amount we will contribute during the remainder of the year. We contributed ~~$5.0~~$2.5 million to the Plan in the first ~~nine months~~half of fiscal ~~2019 and 2018.~~2019. The expected rate of return on Plan assets for determining net periodic benefit plan cost is 8%.

~~Retirement Income 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. There is no material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2019.

Note 13. 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. ~~The~~In March 2020, the Court issued an order providing final approval of the settlement ~~remains subject to final Court approval at a future hearing to be set by~~and dismissing CooperVision from the ~~Court.~~class action.

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.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 15. 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 floating interest rate on its debt.

The Company records all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting, and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. All of the Company's derivatives have satisfied the criteria necessary to apply 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 balance sheet for presentation purposes.

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.

As of April 30, 2020, the Company had the following outstanding derivatives designated as hedging instruments:

These contracts have maturities of seven years or less.

The pre-tax impact of loss on derivatives designated for hedge accounting recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) was $17.8 million ($13.5 million, net of tax) as of April 30, 2020. The Company did 0t reclassify any amount from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) during the three and six months ended April 30, 2020.

The Company did not have any derivatives designated as hedging instruments for the period ended April 30, 2019.

The Company expects that $6.8 million recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be realized in the statements of earnings over the next twelve months and the amount will vary depending on prevailing interest rates.

The following table summarizes the fair values of derivative instruments as of the periods indicated and the line items in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets where the instruments are recorded:

and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

In this section, we discuss the results of our operations for the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 ended ~~July 31, 2019~~April 30, 2020 and the ~~nine~~six months then ended and compare them with the same periods of fiscal ~~2018.~~2019. We discuss our cash flows and current financial condition under “Capital Resources and Liquidity.” Within the tables presented, percentages are calculated based on the underlying whole-dollar amounts and, therefore, may not recalculate exactly from the rounded numbers used for disclosure purposes.

~~Third Quarter Highlights~~Non-GAAP Financial Measures

~~Gross profit $450.7 million, up 6% from $426.8 million~~

The succeeding sections of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) may include certain financial measures that are not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the ~~prior year period~~United States of America (U.S. GAAP). These measures, which are referred to as non-GAAP measures, are listed below:


•	Free Cash Flow - Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.


•	Constant currency - Constant currency is defined as excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.

~~Operating income $142.2 million, up 23% from $115.6 million~~For a discussion of these measures and the reasons management believes they are useful to investors, refer to “Summary of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. To the extent applicable, this MD&A includes reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in ~~the prior year period~~

~~Diluted earnings per share of $2.40, up 18% from $2.03 per share in the prior year period~~

~~Cash provided by operations $ 196.7 million, compared to $235.3 million in the prior year period.~~accordance with U.S. GAAP.

~~Nine Months Highlights~~The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and therefore, may not be comparable among companies.

~~Gross profit $1,301.8 million, up 8% from $1,202.2 million in~~

COVID-19 Considerations

The World Health Organization has categorized the ~~prior year period~~Coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a severe global health crisis, along with economic and societal disruptions and uncertainties, which have negatively impacted business and healthcare activity globally. As a result of healthcare systems responding to the demands of managing the pandemic, governments around the world imposing measures designed to reduce the transmission of the COVID-19 virus, and individuals responding to the concerns of contracting the COVID-19 virus, many of our optical retailer, hospital, medical office and fertility clinic customers have closed their facilities, restricted access, or delayed or cancelled patient visits, exams and elective medical procedures. This has had, and we believe will continue to have, an adverse effect on our sales, operating results and cash flows.

~~Operating income $400.1 million, up 43% from $280.4 million in the prior year period~~

~~Diluted earnings per share~~

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations

We have taken an active role in addressing the ongoing pandemic’s impact on our employees, suppliers, distribution channels, operations and customers, including taking precautionary measures, such as implementing contingency plans, and making operational adjustments as necessary. In most locations, employees not directly involved in manufacturing and distribution are working remotely. We have taken measures to ensure the safety of our essential personnel in our manufacturing and distribution centers, and we have endeavored and continue to follow recommended actions of government and health authorities to protect our employees worldwide.

As of the date of this filing, we have not experienced any significant disruption in our manufacturing facilities. We had no significant disruption in our access to necessary raw materials and other supplies or with our distribution network; however, we have experienced higher unabsorbed fixed overhead costs, labor inefficiencies, higher cost of production and higher freight charges as a result of COVID-19. Our manufacturing and distribution operations have responded to the impacts related to COVID-19, and we have been able to continue to supply our products around the world without interruption. In the future, we may decide or need to implement additional precautionary measures or operational adjustments as we deem prudent to meet consumer demand or to help further ensure employee safety. We believe that the actions we are taking have enabled us to keep our employees safe and our supply chain intact and will help us emerge from this global pandemic operationally sound and well positioned for long-term growth.

The extent to which the global COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruptions impact our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition will depend on future developments. At this time, future developments are highly uncertain, difficult to predict and largely outside of our control. These include, but are not limited to, the spread, duration and severity of the pandemic outbreak and any subsequent waves of additional outbreaks, actions taken by governments to contain the pandemic, address its impact or respond to the reduction in global and local economic activity, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. We have and will continue to closely monitor the developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses from governments and private sector participants and their respective impacts on our Company and on our customers, suppliers, vendors and business partners.

For more information on the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, refer to Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" herein.

Second Quarter Highlights

Gross profit $323.5 million, down 25% from $432.6 million in the prior year period, primarily due to the negative impact of COVID-19 on revenue

Operating income $28.6 million down 81% from $146.9 million in the prior year period

Diluted earnings per share of $0.23, down 91% from $2.45 per share in the prior year period

Cash provided by operations $25.8 million, compared to $214.8 in the prior year period.

Six Months Highlights

Gross profit $750.0 million, down 12% from $851.1 million in the prior year period, primarily due to negative impact of COVID-19 on revenue

Operating income $139.7 million, down 46% from $257.8 million in the prior year period

Diluted earnings per share of $2.05, down 55% from $4.52 per share in the prior year period

Cash provided by operations $155.5 million, compared to $316.6 million in the prior year period.

Outlook

Overall, we remain optimistic about the long-term prospects for the worldwide contact lens and general health care markets. However, the impact, risks and uncertainty relating to the global COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruptions, as further described in the “COVID-19 Considerations” section above and in the “Risk Factors” section in Part II, Item 1A of this filing, have adversely affected our sales, cash flow and current performance and are likely to further adversely affect our future sales, cash flow and performance. Additionally, other events affecting the economy as a whole, including but not limited to the uncertainty and instability of global markets driven by foreign currency volatility, changes in tax legislation,

debt concerns, the uncertainty ~~caused by~~during and after the transition period following the United Kingdom's ~~upcoming~~ withdrawal from the European Union, changes to existing regulations and new regulations, global trade barriers including additional tariffs and the trend of consolidations within the health care industry could impact our current performance and continue to represent a risk to our future performance.

CooperVision - We compete in the worldwide contact lens market with our spherical, toric and multifocal contact lenses offered in a variety of materials including using silicone hydrogel Aquaform^® technology and phosphorylcholine ~~technology~~ (PC) Technology™. We believe that there will be lower contact lens wearer dropout rates as technology improves and enhances the wearing experience through a combination of improved designs and materials and the growth of preferred modalities such as single-use and monthly wearing options. ~~Recent acquisitions~~CooperVision also ~~expanded CooperVision's access to~~competes in the myopia management and specialty eye care markets with ~~new~~ products such as orthokeratology (ortho-k) and scleral lenses. In November 2019, CooperVision received United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its MiSight^® 1 day lens, which is the first and only FDA-approved product indicated to slow the progression of myopia in children with treatment initiated between the ages of 8-12 and became available in the United States during fiscal 2020. CooperVision is focused on greater worldwide market penetration using recently introduced products, and we continue to expand our presence in existing and emerging markets, including through acquisitions.

CooperVision acquired the following entity during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~July 31,~~April 30, 2019:

Blanchard Contact Lenses on December 28, 2018 - a privately-held scleral lens company, which expands CooperVision's specialty and scleral lens portfolio.

~~CooperVision acquired the following entities during the nine months ended July 31, 2018:~~

~~Blueyes on January 4, 2018 - a long-standing distribution partner, which had a leading position in the distribution of contact lenses to the optical and pharmacy sector in Israel~~

~~Paragon Vision Sciences on December 1, 2017 - a leading provider of orthokeratology (ortho-k) specialty contact lenses and oxygen permeable rigid contact lens materials.~~

Our ability to compete successfully with a full range of silicone hydrogel products is an important factor to achieving our desired future levels of sales growth and profitability. CooperVision manufactures and markets a wide variety of silicone hydrogel contact lenses. Our single-use silicone hydrogel product franchises, clariti^®and MyDay^®, remain a focus as we expect increasing demand for these products as well as future single-use products as the global contact lens market continues to shift to this modality. Outside of single-use, the Biofinity^® and Avaira Vitality^® product families comprise our focus in the FRP, or frequent replacement product, market which encompasses the 2-week and monthly modalities. Included in this segment are unique products such as Biofinity Energys^®, which helps individuals with digital eye fatigue.

CooperSurgical - Our CooperSurgical business competes in the general health care market with a ~~focus on~~commitment to advancing the health of women, babies and families through aits diversified portfolio of products and services focusing on women's health, fertility, diagnostics and contraception. CooperSurgical has established its market presence and distribution system by developing products and acquiring companies, products and services that complement its business model.

CooperSurgical acquired the following entity during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~July 31,~~April 30, 2020:

A privately-held distributor of IVF medical devices and systems on December 13, 2019.

CooperSurgical acquired the following entity during the six months ended April 30, 2019:

Incisive Surgical Inc. on December 31, 2018 - a privately-held U.S. medical device company that develops mechanical surgical solutions for skin closure.

~~CooperSurgical acquired the following entities and assets during the nine months ended July 31, 2018:~~

LifeGlobal Group on April 3, 2018 - a privately held company that specializes primarily in IVF media. LifeGlobal’s product categories include media products, IVF laboratory air filtration products and dishware

PARAGARD on November 1, 2017 - CooperSurgical acquired the assets of the PARAGARD IUD business from Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Limited for $1.1 billion. PARAGARD broadened and strengthened CooperSurgical's women's health product portfolio and it is the only non-hormonal, long lasting, reversible contraceptive option approved by the FDA and available in the United States. IUDs represent a large and growing segment of the Long Acting Reversible Contraceptive market.

~~THE COOPER COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition~~

~~and Results of Operations~~

~~We intend to continue investing in CooperSurgical's business with the goal of expanding our integrated solutions model within the areas of women's health, fertility, diagnostics and contraception.~~

Capital Resources - At ~~July 31, 2019,~~April 30, 2020, we had ~~$112.7~~$79.8 million in unrestricted cash, primarily held outside the United States, and ~~$998.8~~$793.8 million available under our ~~2016 Revolving~~2020 Credit ~~Facility (as defined below). Term loans of $1,750.0~~Agreement. The $850.0 million ~~remained outstanding at July 31, 2019.~~

~~On November 1, 2018, the Company~~term loan entered into ~~a 364-day, $400.0~~on April 1, 2020, and the $500.0 million ~~senior unsecured~~ term loan agreement by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent which matures on October 31, 2019 (the 2018 Term Loan Agreement). The Company used the funds to partially repay outstanding borrowings under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. At July 31, 2019, we had $325.0 million outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan Agreement.

~~On November 1, 2017, we~~ entered into ~~a $1.425 billion syndicated Term Loan Agreement (the 2017 Term Loan Agreement) which matures~~ on ~~November~~September 27, 2019 and amended on April 1, ~~2022, to fund the acquisition~~2020, remain outstanding as of PARAGARD, to partially repay outstanding amounts under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, and for general corporate purposes. At July 31, 2019, we had $1.425 billion outstanding under the 2017 Term Loan Agreement.April 30, 2020.

On March 1, 2016, we entered into a syndicated revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (the 2016 Credit Agreement). This agreement, maturing on March 1, 2021, 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 the aggregate principal amount of $830.0 million (the 2016 Term Loan Facility). At July 31, 2019, we had no outstanding balance under the 2016 Term Loan Facility. See Note 6. Debt of the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.

~~The Company believes~~Considering recent market conditions and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic crisis, we have re-evaluated our operating cash flows and cash requirements and continue to believe that current cash, cash equivalents, ~~and~~ future cash flow from operating activities and cash available under our 2020 Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet ~~the Company’s~~our anticipated cash needs, including working capital needs, capital expenditures and contractual obligations for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the consolidated condensed financial statements included in this quarterly report. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our liquidity needs such as that for acquisitions, share repurchases, cash dividends or other activities as we execute our business strategy, we anticipate that additional funds will be obtained through the incurrence of additional

indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of funds; however, such financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.

Transition from LIBOR

The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), announced in July 2017 that it will no longer persuade or require banks to submit rates for LIBOR after 2021. Further, in March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, ReferenceRateReform (Topic848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The Company has material contracts that are indexed to LIBOR and is continuing to monitor this activity and evaluate the related risk. We are continuing to evaluate the scope of impacted contracts and the potential impact. We are also monitoring the developments regarding alternative rates and may amend certain contracts to accommodate those rates if the contract does not already specify a replacement rate. While the notional value of agreements potentially indexed to LIBOR is material, we are not yet able to reasonably estimate the expected impact.

CooperVision Net Sales

The contact lens market has two major product categories:

Spherical lenses including lenses that correct near- and farsightedness uncomplicated by more complex visual defects

Toric and multifocal lenses including lenses that, in addition to correcting near- and farsightedness, address more complex visual defects such as astigmatism and presbyopia by adding optical properties of cylinder and axis, which correct for irregularities in the shape of the cornea.

In the three and six months ended April 30, 2020:

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted our business and has resulted in reduction of revenues in both the three and six month periods of 17% and 7%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. Customers have either slowed down purchases or delayed orders due to a desire to reduce inventories, reduced contact lens wear driven by limited social interaction and lack of patient access on account of office closures. We experienced downward pressure on revenue when major markets started closing as social restrictions were put in place and the offices of many health care providers were closed.

Toric lenses declined primarily due to lower sales of Biofinity, Biomedics, Proclear and partially offset by higher sales of MyDay

Multifocal lenses declined primarily due to lower sales of Biofinity and Proclear

Single-use sphere lenses reduction was primarily attributed to decrease in Proclear, Biomedics, clariti lenses partially offset by an increase in MiSight sales

Non-single-use spheres decreased due to lower Biofinity and Biomedics sphere sales

"Other" products primarily include lens care which represented approximately 2% of net sales in the three and six months ended April 30, 2020, and in prior year comparative periods

There was a decrease in sales of silicone hydrogel products including older hydrogel products. Total silicone hydrogel products decreased by 15% and 4% in three and six months ended, respectively, representing 73% of net sales in the three and six months ended April 30, 2020 compared to 71% in the three and six months ended April 30, 2019

Foreign exchange rates negatively impacted sales by approximately $7.5 million and $9.7 million in the three and six months ended, respectively, primarily attributable to fluctuations in the Euro, compared to $22.3 million and $35.6 million in prior year periods. In the three and six months ended April 30, 2020, net sales decreased 15% and 6% in constant currency over the prior year periods

Sales reduction was primarily driven by a decrease in the volume of lenses sold. Average realized prices by product did not materially influence sales

We expect to continue seeing downward pressure on revenues if the COVID-19 pandemic continues, optical retailers and healthcare centers continue to restrict access, and social distancing measures continue.

In the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~July 31, 2019:~~April 30, 2020:

We have experienced COVID-19 pandemic-related economic disruptions and decline in revenues during the three and six months ended April 30, 2020. We experienced downward pressure on revenue when major markets started closing as social restrictions were put in place and the offices of many health care providers were closed. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as a precautionary measure, many health care facilities and medical offices were closed or restricted access and many surgeries and elective medical procedures and exams have been deferred or cancelled. Further, there has been a significant reduction in physician office visits, and healthcare centers have postponed or cancelled capital purchases.

Office and surgical products ~~increased~~decreased compared to the prior year periods mainly due to reduction in Paragard sales compared to prior year ~~periods due to continued growth~~periods. Further, there has been a reduction in ~~PARAGARD and~~revenue from other surgical products ~~primarily~~such as Uterine Manipulators, Surgical Retractors, Closure products and ~~recently~~Filshie Clip system, partially offset by an increase in revenue from acquired products of Incisive Surgical partially offset by decrease in revenue on Filshie Clip system. On February 1, 2019, the Company agreed to the early termination of an exclusive distribution agreement which had given CooperSurgical the rights to distribute the Filshie Clip System in the United States.and Endosee products

~~In the three months ended July 31, 2019,~~ Fertility net sales ~~decreased~~declined compared to the prior year periods mainly due to ~~the exit of the carrier screening and non-invasive prenatal~~reduction in revenue from PGS/PGD testing, ~~(NIPT) product lines on June 1, 2018. However, Fertility net sales increased in nine months ended July 31, 2019 compared to fiscal 2018, primarily due to increased sales of~~ IVF consumables and IVF equipment ~~and LifeGlobal products, partially offset by a decrease in diagnostics revenue.~~

While the potential economic impact resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the duration of the pandemic's impact are difficult to assess or predict, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global financial markets may reduce our ability to access capital, which could negatively impact our short-term and long-term liquidity. In consideration of the significant uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are continuing to assess our liquidity and anticipated capital requirements. Notwithstanding the significant uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe future cash flow from operating activities and availability under our 2020 Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including working capital needs, capital expenditures and contractual obligations for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the consolidated condensed financial statements included in this quarterly report. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our liquidity needs such as that for acquisitions, share repurchases, cash dividends or other activities as we execute our business strategy, we anticipate that additional funds will be obtained through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of funds; however, such financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations

At July 31, 2019, we had $998.8 million available under the 2016 Credit Agreement. We are in compliance with our financial covenants including the Interest Coverage Ratio at 12.24 to 1.00 and the Total Leverage Ratio at 1.83 to 1.00 for the 2018 Term Loan Agreement, the 2017 Term Loan Agreement and the 2016 Credit Agreement.

Share Repurchase

In December 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the 2012 Share Repurchase Program and through subsequent amendments, the most recent in March 2017, the total repurchase authorization was increased from $500.0 million to $1.0 billion of the Company's common stock. The program has no expiration date and may be discontinued at any time. Purchases under the 2012 Share Repurchase Program are subject to a review of the circumstances in place at the time and may be made from time to time as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements.

~~We did not repurchase shares in~~

During the ~~third and~~ second ~~quarters~~quarter of fiscal ~~2019.~~2020, we repurchased 160.8 thousand shares of the Company's common stock for $47.8 million, at an average purchase price of $296.88 per share. There was no share repurchase activity during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. During the first ~~quarter~~half of fiscal 2019, we repurchased 24.5 thousand shares of ~~the Company's~~our common stock for $6.1 million at an average purchase price of $248.70 per share. ~~We did not repurchase shares during the nine months ended July 31, 2018.~~ At ~~July 31, 2019, $557.4~~April 30, 2020, $359.7 million remains authorized for repurchase under the program.

Summary of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures that may be included in this MD&A and the reasons management believes they are useful to investors are described below. These measures should be considered supplemental in nature and are not intended to be a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be the same as similarly named measures presented by other companies.

Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Management believes free cash flow is useful for investors as an additional measure of liquidity because it represents cash that is available to grow the business, make strategic acquisitions, repay debt, buyback common stock or fund the dividend. We use free cash flow internally to understand, manage, make operating decisions and evaluate our business. In addition, we use free cash flow to help plan and forecast future periods.

Constant currency is defined as excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. In order to assist with the assessment of how our underlying businesses performed, we compare the percentage change in revenues from one period to another, excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations. To present this information, current period revenue for entities reporting in currencies other than the United States dollar are converted into United States dollars at the average foreign exchange rates for the corresponding period in the prior year.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Most of our operations outside the United States have their local currency as their functional currency. We are exposed to risks caused by changes in foreign exchange, principally our British pound sterling, euro, Japanese yen, Danish krone ~~Swedish krona and Australian dollar~~ denominated debt and receivables denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar, and from operations in other foreign currencies. Although we may enter into foreign exchange agreements with financial institutions to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency values relative to our debt or receivables obligations, these hedging transactions do not eliminate that risk entirely. We are also exposed to risks associated with changes in interest rates, as the interest rates on our revolving lines of credit and term loans may vary with the federal funds rate and ~~LIBO rate.~~LIBOR. We may decrease this interest rate risk by hedging a portion of variable rate debt effectively converting it to fixed rate debt for varying periods. On April 6, 2020, we entered into six interest rate swap contracts to hedge variable cash flows associated with LIBOR. The interest rate swap contracts became effective on April 6, 2020 and have maturities of seven years or less with a total notional amount of $1.5 billion. The Company did not have any derivative assets or liabilities that may include interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps or foreign currency forward contracts as of ~~July 31, 2019 and~~ October 31, ~~2018.~~

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

~~Since March 2015, over 50 putative class action complaints were filed by contact lens consumers alleging that contact lens manufacturers,~~Information regarding legal proceedings is included 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, allNote 13. Contingencies 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. The settlement remains subject to final Court approval at a future hearing to be set by the Court.this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 450, ~~Contingencies.~~ ~~Legal fees are expensed as incurred.~~

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business faces significant risks. These risks include those described below and may include additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks, and the trading prices of our common stock could decline by virtue of these risks. These risks should be read in conjunction with the other information in this report.

Risk factors describing the major risks to our business can be found under Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, ~~2018.~~2019. In the first half of fiscal 2020, we updated some of our risk factors as described below. There ~~have been~~are no other material changes in our risk factors from those previously discussed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Our substantial and expanding international operations are subject to uncertainties which could affect our operating results.

A significant portion of our current operations are conducted and located outside the United States, and our growth strategy involves expanding our existing foreign operations and entering into new foreign jurisdictions. We have significant manufacturing and distribution sites in North America, Latin America and Europe. Over half of our net sales for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, were derived from the sale of products outside the United States. We believe that sales outside the United States will continue to account for a material portion of our total net sales for the foreseeable future. International operations and business expansion plans are subject to numerous additional risks, including:

we may have difficulty enforcing intellectual property rights in some foreign countries;

we may have difficulty gaining market share in countries such as Japan and China because of regulatory restrictions and customer preferences;

we may find it difficult to grow in emerging markets such as China, India, Russia, Brazil and other developing nations due to, among other things, customer acceptance, undeveloped and/or unfamiliar distribution channels, regulatory restrictions and changes, and business knowledge of these new markets;

tax rates in some foreign countries may exceed those of the United States, and foreign earnings may be subject to withholding requirements or the imposition of tariffs, exchange controls or other restrictions, including the tariffs enacted by the U.S. government on various imports from China and by the Chinese government on certain U.S. goods, the scope and duration of which remain uncertain;

we may find it difficult to comply with a variety of United States and foreign legal, compliance and regulatory requirements such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the United Kingdom (U.K.) Bribery Act and international data security and privacy laws and MDR and IVDR;

we may find it difficult to manage a large organization spread throughout various countries;

fluctuations in currency exchange rates could adversely affect our results;

foreign customers may have longer payment cycles than customers in the United States;

failure to comply with United States Department of Commerce and other nations' import-export controls may result in fines and/or penalties;

general economic and political conditions in the countries where we operate may have an adverse effect on our operations in those countries or not be favorable to our growth strategy;

natural disasters (including pandemics), war, terrorism, labor disruptions and international conflicts may cause significant economic disruption and political and social instability, resulting in decreased demand for our products, adversely affecting our manufacturing and distribution capabilities, or causing interruptions in our supply chain;

foreign governments may adopt regulations, including those similar to MDR and IVDR or take other actions that would have a direct or indirect adverse impact on our business and market opportunities, including but not limited to increased enforcement of potentially conflicting and ambiguous anti-bribery laws;

we may have difficulty enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through some foreign legal systems; and

we may be subject to unforeseen economic or political events in certain countries that may have an impact on our customers' ability or preferences to buy our products.

As we continue to expand our business globally, our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with our international operations. However, any of these factors could adversely affect our international operations and, consequently, our operating results.

Our results of operations have been adversely affected, and our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition could be materially adversely affected in the future, by the global COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and related economic disruptions.

The current global pandemic caused by the spread of the novel strain of coronavirus referred to as “COVID-19" has negatively impacted business and healthcare activity globally and has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption within the markets in which we operate. The pandemic has adversely affected and is likely to further adversely affect nearly all aspects of our business and markets, including our sales, operations, cash flow and workforce and the operations of our customers, suppliers, vendors and business partners. Among other things, many of our optical retailer, hospital, medical office and fertility clinic customers have closed their facilities, restricted access, or delayed or cancelled patient visits, exams and elective medical procedures in response to the pandemic, which has resulted in reduced demand for and sales of our products and services.

If the COVID-19 pandemic continues and conditions worsen, our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition could be materially adversely affected in numerous ways, including, but not limited to, decreased revenues from sales of our products and services due to customer facility closures, restricted access and reduced patient visits, exams and elective medical procedures; disruption in the manufacture and distribution of our products, including increased manufacturing and distribution costs, reduced manufacturing capacity and inadequate inventory levels; increased risk of inventory that may expire; write-offs or obsolescence of inventory, equipment or other assets; disruptions to our raw material and product suppliers and broader supply chain and distribution systems; delays in our clinical trials which could negatively impact our new product pipeline milestones and regulatory clearances and approvals; extended delays in or defaults on payments of outstanding receivables; insolvency of customers, suppliers, vendors and business partners; an inability to access lending, capital markets and other sources of liquidity when needed on reasonable terms or at all; an inability to comply with financial covenants in our debt agreements; and future restructuring, impairment and other charges.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruptions impact our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to predict and largely outside of our control, including, but not limited to, the continued spread, duration and severity of the pandemic outbreak; the occurrence, spread, duration and severity of any subsequent wave or waves of outbreaks after the initial outbreak has subsided; the impact on our customers and suppliers; the actions taken by the U.S. and foreign governments to contain the pandemic, address its impact or respond to the reduction in global and local economic activity; the occurrence, duration and severity of a global, regional or national recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event; and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse effects on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the known risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2019 which may be heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruption and could materially adversely affect our business.

The results of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union may have a negative effect on global economic conditions, financial markets and our business.

We are a multinational company headquartered in the United States with worldwide operations, with significant business operations in Europe, including in the United Kingdom. In June 2016, a majority of voters in the United Kingdom elected to withdraw from the European Union in a national referendum (Brexit). In March 2017, the government of the United Kingdom formally gave notice of its intent to withdraw from the European Union (EU). On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom ceased to be a member state of the EU. EU law applicable to the United Kingdom continues to apply to and in the United Kingdom for the duration of a transition period which is presently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2020 (the

“Transition Period”). During the Transition Period, the EU and the United Kingdom will negotiate the terms of their future relationship. There is no assurance that such negotiations will be successful and it is uncertain what, if any, laws similar to those of the EU will continue to apply in and to the United Kingdom following the expiration of the Transition Period. Since a significant proportion of the United Kingdom’s regulatory framework is derived from EU directives and regulations, EU law ceasing to apply in and to the United Kingdom following the expiration of the Transition Period could materially impact the regulatory regime with respect to the movement and approval of our products to and from the United Kingdom and EU. We could face new regulatory costs and challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Until expiration of the Transition Period and the future relationship between the EU and the United Kingdom is established, it is difficult to anticipate Brexit’s potential impact.

Cybersecurity threats continue to increase in frequency and sophistication; a successful cybersecurity attack could interrupt or disrupt our information technology systems or cause the loss of confidential or protected data which could disrupt our business, force us to incur excessive costs or cause reputational harm.

The size and complexity of our information systems make such systems potentially vulnerable to service interruptions or to security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees or vendors, or from attacks by malicious third parties. Such attacks are of ever-increasing levels of sophistication and are made by groups and individuals with a wide range of motives and expertise. Like many other companies, we experience attempted cybersecurity actions on a frequent basis, and the frequency of such attempts could increase in the future. While we have invested in the protection of data and information technology, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent or quickly identify service interruptions or security breaches. Any such interruption or breach of our systems could adversely affect our business operations and/or result in the loss of critical or sensitive confidential information or intellectual property, and could result in financial, legal, business and reputational harm to us. We maintain cyber liability insurance; however, this insurance may not be sufficient to cover the financial, legal, business or reputational losses that may result from an interruption or breach of our systems.
