PLEASANTON, Calif., June 5, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The Cooper Companies, Inc. (NYSE:COO) today reported results for the fiscal second quarter of 2007.
Second Quarter Highlights
* Revenue $225.5 million, 7% above second quarter 2006, 3% in constant currency. CooperVision (CVI) revenue $188.2 million, up 4% and flat in constant currency; CooperSurgical (CSI) revenue $37.4 million, up 26% with 9% organic growth. * GAAP loss per share 1 cent including a write off of $6.2 million or 13 cents per share of manufacturing assets associated with Ocular integration activities. GAAP results include share-based compensation expenses (7 cents), acquisition and restructuring expenses and intellectual property and securities litigation costs totaling, together with the write off of manufacturing assets, $23 million net of tax, or 49 cents per diluted share, as more fully described below in the section "Fiscal Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures."
Commenting on the second quarter's performance, Robert S. Weiss, Cooper's chief operating officer said, "Cooper's revenue and related earnings met our expectations, and globally we gained market share in our contact lens business.
"We continue to increase our silicone hydrogel production capacity. Our target remains to have ten lines available for production of silicone hydrogel spheres by the end of fiscal 2007. Our ability to increase capacity and reduce production costs for our silicone hydrogel products depends on continuing to improve the manufacturing processes used on the new manufacturing platform for these products. Silicone hydrogel products are expected to begin to contribute more significantly to CVI's revenue growth in the second half of 2007.
"Single-use contact lenses continue to grow in popularity, and in January we began to emphasize the benefits of these products to practitioners in the United States. This effort is showing promising results. Our global single use reported revenue grew 31% in the fiscal quarter and is ahead 27% through six months with our US revenue growing above these rates. We believe that we have adequate capacity to support this initiative as the conversion of the single-use lines to the more convenient ClearSight(tm) strip-blister package is complete, and several lines are now producing our Proclear 1 Day(tm) single-use product.
"We are on track to complete substantially all of the consolidation of our worldwide distribution activities into three regional centers during calendar 2007."
Commenting on CooperSurgical's performance, Weiss noted, "Our women's healthcare business continued its strong performance with sales up 26% in the second fiscal quarter, 9% on an organic basis.
"Lone Star Medical Products, Inc., the line of women's healthcare surgical products that we acquired in November 2006, contributed $2.5 million of revenue during the quarter while Wallach Surgical Devices, Inc., which was acquired in February 2007, also generated $2.5 million."
Biofinity(r) Marketing Update
* Global revenue for Cooper's spherical silicone hydrogel contact lens Biofinity(r) was $1.4 million during the second quarter, $2.0 million year to date, primarily generated in Europe. * The marketing of Biofinity(r) in the United States will be directed initially to private practice optometrists. CVI estimates that U.S. revenue for Biofinity(r) during fiscal 2007 will be in the range of $5 million to $7 million. * Biofinity(r) will be introduced to optometrists in the United States at the meeting of the American Academy of Optometry which begins on June 28. At the meeting, CVI will begin distributing Biofinity(r) fitting sets (a set contains 84 trial lenses covering a range of correction powers which allow practitioners to evaluate a patient's initial fit) and accelerate their placement throughout the year. * The list price to practitioners in the United States for six Biofinity(r) lenses packaged together will be $27.50. Emphasizing good contact lens compliance for healthy lens wear, CooperVision recommends that patients discard their Biofinity(r) lenses after one month of daily insertion and removal. * CVI continues to expect that Biofinity(r) will generate, at normalized volumes, gross margins consistent with its other specialty products.
Fiscal Second Quarter 2007 Revenue and Expense Summary
Cooper's reported second quarter revenue of $225.5 million was 7% above last year's second quarter, 3% in constant currency.
Reported gross margin was 56% compared with 62% in last year's second quarter and in both periods includes costs for items considered unrelated to core operating performance as listed in the section headed "Fiscal Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures" and the table "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Earnings to GAAP Net Income" below. Excluding these items in both periods, gross margin would have been comparable at 63% for both periods.
Selling, general and administrative expense grew 14% and was 45% of sales compared with 42% in last year's second quarter. The second quarter 2007 results include $2.7 million for share-based compensation expense (1% of sales) and $7.6 million (3% of sales) for costs associated with other items considered unrelated to core operating performance as listed in the section "Fiscal Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures" and in the table "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Earnings to GAAP Net Income." The quarter's results also included marketing costs associated with the future introduction of several new products.
Research and development expense in the quarter was $8 million including $178 thousand for share-based compensation expense. R&D expenses were 4% of sales, up from 3% in last year's second quarter, excluding the write-off of acquired assets in 2006. CVI's R&D activities include programs to develop new silicone hydrogel and single-use products.
Operating margin was 5% for the quarter compared with 12% in last year's second quarter. After excluding the share-based compensation expense and other items considered unrelated to core operating performance as described above -- $27.9 million in the quarter or 12% of sales -- operating margin was 17% compared with 21% in last year's second quarter on a comparable basis.
Interest expense was 5% of sales, compared with 4% in last year's second quarter primarily reflecting cash used for capital expenditures and CSI acquisitions.
The effective tax rate (ETR) for the quarter was 18% excluding items considered unrelated to core operating performance as described above. Going forward, Cooper anticipates an ETR in the 13% - 16% range for its core operating business.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
* Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in our credit agreement, was $238.8 million in the second quarter compared with $241.1 million in the second quarter last year. * At the end of the fiscal second quarter, Cooper's days sales outstanding (DSO) were 62 days, compared with 64 days at last year's second quarter. Cooper expects future DSOs in the mid 60's. * Inventory months on hand was 7.9 months at the end of the fiscal quarter, versus 8.0 months at last year's second quarter and 8.3 months at this year's first fiscal quarter, in line with expectations, as inventory is built to support new product launches and distribution center consolidations. As distribution center consolidation is completed and new product launches are normalized, Cooper expects its months on hand to return to more historical levels. * Capital expenditures were $40 million in the quarter primarily to expand manufacturing capacity, consolidate distribution centers and continue the rollout of new information systems in selected locations. Cooper expects capital expenditures in fiscal 2007 of about $160 million (which includes $10 million previously reported in fiscal 2006) primarily for expanded manufacturing capacity. * Depreciation and amortization expense was $16.9 million for the quarter.
Tax Settlement
In April, Cooper received a final decision from the United States Tax Court associated with Ocular Sciences, Inc. 1999-2001 tax years, which resulted in a total deficiency of $3.5 million plus unspecified interest, with no penalties assessed. The original Notice of Deficiency asserted $44.8 million of additional taxes and approximately $12.7 million in related penalties and unspecified interest.
2007 Guidance
Cooper's 2007 revenue guidance is unchanged from previous guidance: $927 million to $967 million -- CVI $780 million to $810 million, CSI $147 million to $157 million.
Non-GAAP EPS guidance is unchanged from previous guidance and is expected to be in the range of $2.90 to $3.05, which excludes estimated share-based compensation expense of 30 cents to 35 cents per share and other specific items considered unrelated to core operating performance. GAAP EPS guidance is unchanged from previous guidance and is expected to be $1.55 to $1.90.
In addition to operating and market variables, the timing of CVI's ramp up of silicone hydrogel production, the acceptance of new products and the completion of the final stages of the Ocular integration could affect Cooper's guidance.

According to the data in the table above, single-use lenses continued to increase their share of the global contact lens market during the first calendar quarter at the expense of reusable and other products. While the total market grew 3%, single-use products grew 13% and now represent 32% of the global market for soft contact lenses.
In the United States, the contact lens market grew 3% during this period while single-use products grew 28%, increasing their share of the market from 8% to 10%, the lowest penetration of single-use products throughout the world. In Asia, single-use products represent about 60% of the market and in Europe they represent about 40%.
In the first calendar quarter, CVI's single-use products grew 31% worldwide and in the United States, CVI's single-use revenue more than tripled compared with the same period the year before.
According to the market data, silicone hydrogel revenue accounted for 25% of worldwide contact lens revenue during the first calendar quarter up from 23% in the fourth quarter of 2006. About three-quarters of silicone hydrogel revenue is generated in North America.
According to Health Product Research, which reports on a statistical sampling of practitioners each quarter, silicone hydrogel lenses accounted for 47% of new patient visits to contact lens practitioners in the United States during the first calendar quarter of 2007, up from 43% in the fourth quarter of 2006, and silicone hydrogel toric lenses accounted for 40% of new toric contact lens fits in the United States in the first calendar quarter of 2007, compared with 34% in the fourth quarter of 2006.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
CVI Anticipated New Products
CVI expects to roll out Biofinity(r), its silicone hydrogel spherical lens, in the United States beginning in June 2007 and Proclear 1 Day(tm) in Europe within the next three months. In calendar 2008, an improved silicone hydrogel sphere with a two-week wearing cycle is expected to be introduced in the United States and Europe. CVI currently anticipates launching a silicone hydrogel toric in late 2008. Proclear 1 Day(tm) is scheduled for introduction in Japan in calendar 2008 or early calendar 2009, depending on local regulatory approval.
CVI Fiscal Second Quarter 2007 Expenses
CVI's reported gross margin was 55% compared with 63% in the second quarter of 2006. These results include costs for share-based compensation expense and acquisition and restructuring charges primarily related to the consolidation of manufacturing locations and start-up expenses for new silicone hydrogel products. These items amounted to $14.5 million and $2.7 million in the second fiscal quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006 or 8% and 1% of sales, respectively. Manufacturing inefficiencies associated with the ramp up of new products and plant realignment activities are expected to continue throughout fiscal 2007.
CVI's SGA expense grew 13% during the quarter, primarily related to integration activities, as revenue increased 4%. These results include share-based compensation expense, costs associated with the rationalization of CVI's distribution centers in Europe and the United States, intellectual property litigation expenses and startup costs associated with new silicone hydrogel products which together totaled $7.9 million or 4% of sales.
CVI's research and development expense was $6.8 million in the second quarter, an increase of 22% over the same period in 2006.
CooperSurgical Business Details
During the second quarter, revenue at CSI, Cooper's women's healthcare medical device business, grew 26% to $37.4 million. Organic revenue grew 9%.
CSI's gross margin was 59% for the quarter, the same as in the prior year period. Operating margin was 17% for the quarter including $552 thousand associated with integration activities of its surgical product lines and share-based compensation expense of $678 thousand.

Fiscal Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to results in accordance with GAAP, Cooper management also considers non-GAAP results as important supplemental financial measures in evaluating its ongoing core operating results and in making operating decisions.
Non-GAAP earnings and guidance exclude from GAAP results share-based compensation expense and other items that management does not consider part of core operating performance. Management uses these non-GAAP results to compare actual operating results to its business plans, assess expectations after the integration period, calculate debt compliance covenants, allocate resources and evaluate potential acquisitions. Management believes that presenting these non-GAAP results also allows investors, as well as management, to evaluate results from one period to another on a comparable basis.
Specific items that Cooper excludes from its GAAP results when evaluating core operational performance are:
* Share-based compensation expense
These are the costs of stock option and restricted stock grants to
employees and directors specified under SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based
Payments. While share-based compensation is an ongoing and recurring
expense, it does not require cash settlement, is subject to
significant period-to-period variability (it is dependent on the
timing of the grants, is potentially impacted by acquisitions and
can be affected by changes in computational variables) and is
recognized prospectively. Since we adopted the modified prospective
method of accounting for share-based payments, results are not
always comparable to prior periods. As a result, we exclude these
charges for purposes of evaluating core operating performance.
* Acquisition and restructuring expenses consisting of
-- Restructuring and integration expenses related primarily to the
integration of Ocular Sciences, Inc. (Ocular) into CooperVision,
Inc., which are charged to cost of sales and operating expense.
They consist of costs to integrate duplicate facilities,
streamline manufacturing and distribution practices and integrate
sales, marketing and administrative functions. Cooper adjusts for
these costs because they are incurred as part of CVI's three-year
Ocular integration plan, but are not included in its core
business operating plan.
-- Manufacturing and distribution rationalization and start-up costs
also related primarily to the integration of Ocular and CVI. They
consist of costs to:
* Restructure manufacturing locations (products are manufactured
in multiple facilities until a final location is operational).
* Eliminate duplicate distribution locations (products are stored
and shipped from several locations while central warehouses are
completed).
* Develop new manufacturing technologies, specifically silicone
hydrogel manufacturing.
We adjust for these costs because once the specific integration
activities have been completed and new technology and
manufacturing techniques have been applied, the costs will be
eliminated.
-- Losses and costs associated with phasing out corneal health
products and the write-off of associated unrealizable net assets.
-- Acquired in-process R&D charges. These are generally disregarded
when evaluating an acquisition and often result in revised
charges that vary significantly in size and amount depending on
the results of the formal appraisal process that may take up to
twelve months to complete following a transaction. Management
adjusts for these expenses because they are excluded when
evaluating the impact of an acquisition on continuing
performance.
* Expenses associated with certain intellectual property and
securities litigation
Cooper has filed suits claiming patent infringement to protect its
intellectual property, sought a declaratory judgment that a CVI
product does not infringe any valid and enforceable claims of
competitors' patents and is also incurring expenses associated with
securities litigation. These cases have not historically been part
of Cooper's normal operations.
Not all the items listed occurred in the second fiscal quarter of 2007 or 2006. Specific amounts for the items in the second fiscal quarter of 2007 and 2006 are below in the table headed "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Earnings to GAAP Net Income."
Operating results adjusted for these items should not be considered alternatives to any performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. We present them because we consider their disclosure an important supplemental measure of our performance. In evaluating Cooper's non-GAAP earnings and guidance, investors are cautioned that in future periods Cooper expects to incur expenses similar to those for which adjustments are made in the presentation of non-GAAP earnings. Our presentation of non-GAAP earnings and guidance should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by similar items or nonrecurring or unusual charges.
Cooper's non-GAAP earnings have limitations as an analytical tool, including that they do not reflect the cost of:
* Stock options and other share-based compensation, which are important components of compensation programs for employees and directors. * The Ocular integration, and the integration and restructuring of other acquisitions. * New manufacturing technologies, specifically silicone hydrogel manufacturing, and the phase out of product lines that are being eliminated. * Pending intellectual property and securities litigation, which we expect to be significant but are difficult to forecast.
In addition, non-GAAP results may not be useful when comparing Cooper to other companies that may calculate these measures differently. Moreover, the impact of many of the items excluded (particularly litigation and restructuring) on our guidance is difficult to quantify because of significant uncertainty in timing and the range of possible outcomes. These items could be material.
Cooper also uses the term earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), a commonly used measure of cash flow, when discussing cash generation with its lenders. This non-GAAP term may not be useful when comparing Cooper to other companies that calculate this measure differently.
Cooper compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on GAAP results and supplementing these with non-GAAP earnings results.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains "forward-looking statements" as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include certain statements about the integration of the Ocular business, our capital resources, performance and results of operations. In addition, all statements regarding anticipated growth in our revenue, anticipated market conditions, planned product launches and results of operations are forward-looking. To identify these statements look for words like "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "should," "could," "seeks," "intends," "plans," "estimates" or "anticipates" and similar words or phrases. Discussions of strategy, plans or intentions often contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements necessarily depend on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and are subject to risks and uncertainties. These include the risk that acquired businesses will not be integrated successfully into CVI and CSI, including the risk that the Company may not continue to realize anticipated benefits from its cost-cutting measures and inherent in accounting assumptions made regarding the acquisitions; the risks that CVI's new products will be delayed or not occur at all, or that sales will be limited following introduction due to manufacturing constraints or poor market acceptance; risks related to implementation of information technology systems covering the Company's businesses and any delays in such implementation or other events which could result in Management having to report a material weakness in the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting in its 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K; risks with respect to the ultimate validity and enforceability of the Company's patent applications and patents and the possible infringement of the intellectual property of others; and the impact of the Lone Star and Wallach acquisitions on CSI's and the Company's revenue, earnings and margins.
Events, among others, that could cause our actual results and future actions of the Company to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements include major changes in business conditions, a major disruption in the operations of our manufacturing or distribution facilities, new competitors or technologies, significant delays in new product introductions, the impact of an undetected virus on our computer systems, acquisition integration delays or costs, increases in interest rates, foreign currency exchange exposure, investments in research and development and other start-up projects, variations in stock option expenses caused by stock price movement or other assumptions inherent in accounting for stock options, dilution to earnings per share from acquisitions or issuing stock, worldwide regulatory issues, including product recalls and the effect of healthcare reform legislation, adverse market impact due to third party product recalls, cost of complying with corporate governance requirements, changes in tax laws or their interpretation, changes in geographic profit mix effecting tax rates, significant environmental cleanup costs above those already accrued, litigation costs including any related settlements or judgments, the adverse effects of natural disasters on patients, practitioners and product distribution, cost of business divestitures, changes in expected utilization of recognized net operating loss carry forwards, the requirement to provide for a significant liability or to write off a significant asset, including impaired goodwill, changes in accounting principles or estimates and other events described in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including the "Business" and "Risk Factors" sections in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, as such Risk Factors may be updated in quarterly filings.
