The significant drop in short-term debt in Q4 2024 was primarily due to the repayment of borrowings under the company’s revolving credit facilities. Specifically, on May 1, 2024, COO used **$1.2 billion** from its new 2024 Revolving Credit Facility to fully repay all borrowings under its older 2020 Term Loan Facility and the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility, effectively restructuring its debt and resulting in a decrease from **$45.4 million** in Q4 2023 to **$33.3 million** in Q4 2024.  **[0000711404-24-000069_cooperq42024pressrelease.htm:10]** **[0000711404-24-000074_coo-20241031.htm:86]** **[0000711404-24-000074_coo-20241031.htm:101]** 

Why did Short-term debt drop significantly in Q4 2024?

The increase in long-term debt in Q1 2024 was primarily driven by a **$200 million draw on the revolving credit facility** to finance the **Cook Medical acquisition**, which was completed in November 2023.  **[0000711404-24-000016_cooperq12024pressrelease.htm:9]** **[0000711404-24-000020_coo-20240131.htm:17]** 

What led to the increase in Long-term debt in Q1 2024?

The decline in **Cash and cash equivalents** for FY 2024 was primarily due to significantly higher cash outflows in investing activities. The company used **$764.6 million** in investing outflows—mainly driven by **$343.4 million** spent on acquisitions and **$421.2 million** on property, plant, and equipment—which more than offset the **$709.3 million** generated from operating activities and the positive effect from financing activities. This led to the decrease from **$120.8 million in FY 2023** to **$107.6 million in FY 2024**.  **[0000711404-24-000074_coo-20241031.htm:88]** **[0000711404-24-000074_coo-20241031.htm:76]** **[0000711404-24-000074_coo-20241031.htm:99]** 

Why did Cash and cash equivalents decline in FY 2024?

The **increase in Total assets in Q4 2024** was primarily driven by several factors. **Goodwill** rose from **$3,624.5 million** to **$3,838.4 million** due to net additions and a favorable foreign currency translation adjustment, while **Property, Plant, and Equipment (PP&E)** increased as a result of investments in expanding manufacturing capacity. In addition, there were increases in **Other Intangibles, Net**, **Trade Receivables, Net**, and **Inventories** reflecting higher sales volumes and preparation for future demand, which more than offset the decline in **Deferred Tax Assets** during the period.  **[0000711404-24-000074_coo-20241031.htm:86]** **[0000711404-24-000074_coo-20241031.htm:100]** **[0000711404-24-000069_cooperq42024pressrelease.htm:10]**

**Operating Income** in **Q2 2024** was notably high at **$161.7 million** primarily for three reasons. First, the **CooperVision segment** achieved stronger performance with higher net sales, resulting in operating income increasing to **$160.2 million** from **$137.9 million** in Q2 2023.  **[0000711404-24-000043_coo-20240430.htm:19]**  Second, the **CooperSurgical segment** turned around from an operating loss to generating **$21.6 million** in operating income by avoiding a one-time **$45.0 million termination fee** expense that had negatively impacted Q2 2023.  **[0000711404-24-000043_coo-20240430.htm:19]**  Finally, despite a modest uptick in share-based compensation in the corporate segment, the overall improvements across segments drove the significant increase in Operating Income.  **[0000711404-24-000043_coo-20240430.htm:19]** 

Why was Operating Income so high in Q2 2024?

The surge in **Net Income** in Q2 2024 was primarily driven by a combination of **revenue growth**—with consolidated revenues increasing by **7% to $942.6 million**, fueled by strong performance in both CooperVision and CooperSurgical—and a significant improvement in the **operating margin** from **11% to 17%** due to enhanced efficiencies from prior investments in manufacturing, distribution, and IT infrastructure. Additionally, the company benefited from a modest **gross margin** expansion (from **66% to 67%**) and favorable impacts from tax and stock option adjustments, which helped offset some of the rising interest expenses and negative FX effects.  **[0000711404-24-000038_cooperq22024pressrelease.htm:0]** **[COO_3391183_19]** **[COO_3391183_14]** **[COO_3391183_4]** **[COO_3391183_15]** 

What drove the surge in Net Income in Q2 2024?

The operating income jump in Q3 2024 was driven by multiple factors. **Revenue growth** played a key role, with consolidated revenue increasing by **8% year-over-year** to **$1,002.8 million**, largely due to strong performance in both key segments—**CooperVision** and **CooperSurgical** ( **[0000711404-24-000058_cooperq32024pressrelease.htm:0]** **[COO_3400054_1]** ). In addition, **gross margin improvements** were significant, as the non-GAAP gross margin increased to **67%** from **66%** in Q3 2023, which was supported by efficiency gains, an improved product mix, and pricing enhancements ( **[COO_3400054_4]** **[0000711404-24-000058_cooperq32024pressrelease.htm:0]** ). The company also benefited from **SG&A leverage**, where operating expenses grew slower than sales, reflecting the positive impact of prior investments ( **[COO_3400054_4]** **[0000711404-24-000058_cooperq32024pressrelease.htm:0]** ). Finally, **non-GAAP adjustments**, which excluded certain charges, further enhanced operating income ( **[0000711404-24-000064_filename1.htm:4]** ).

What contributed to the jump in Operating Income in Q3 2024?

The improvement in Q4 2024’s **net income** was driven by a combination of factors. **Revenue grew by 10%** to **$1,018.4 million**, which boosted the company's overall profitability.  **[0000711404-24-000069_cooperq42024pressrelease.htm:0]**  Additionally, there was an improvement in the **gross margin** from **65% to 67%** and an **expansion in operating margin** from **15% to 19%**, both of which directly contributed to higher earnings.  **[0000711404-24-000069_cooperq42024pressrelease.htm:0]**  Moreover, beneficial **non-GAAP adjustments**—including factors such as the amortization of acquired intangibles and other charges—further enhanced the net income, raising the non-GAAP figure from **$173.2 million to $208.5 million**.  **[0000711404-24-000069_cooperq42024pressrelease.htm:3]**  These elements collectively account for the significant increase in net income in Q4 2024.  **[0000711404-24-000069_cooperq42024pressrelease.htm:3]** 

Why did Net Income improve significantly in Q4 2024?

The **net sales** boost in Q3 2024 was driven by multiple factors. **CooperVision (CVI)** delivered a **7% revenue increase** with strong performance from **toric and multifocal lenses** (such as the success of Biofinity and MyDay lenses), supported further by solid geographic growth in the **Americas (13%)** and **EMEA (6%)**, while Asia Pacific remained flat.  **[0000711404-24-000058_cooperq32024pressrelease.htm:0]** **[0000711404-24-000062_coo-20240731.htm:19]**  Additionally, **CooperSurgical (CSI)** achieved a **9% revenue increase**, driven by stronger performance in **fertility products** (with a **6%** rise) and **office and surgical products** (up **11%**), with fertility returning to **double-digit growth**.  **[0000711404-24-000058_cooperq32024pressrelease.htm:0]** **[0000711404-24-000062_coo-20240731.htm:20]** **[COO_3400054_3]**  Strategic investments in **R&D, manufacturing,** and **product innovation** also significantly contributed to the growth, despite some offset from unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, with both segments achieving **10% constant currency growth**.  **[COO_3400054_1]** **[0000711404-24-000058_cooperq32024pressrelease.htm:0]**
