For fiscal 2022, the company projects total revenues between $3.28 billion and $3.31 billion, thereby reflecting 9% to 10% organic growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is currently pegged at $3.28 billion.

CVI revenues are estimated to be $2.23-$2.25 billion (organic growth of 10-11%). CSI revenues are expected to lie within $1.06-$1.07 billion, thereby implying organic growth of 6-7%.

Adjusted EPS is anticipated to be $13.09-$13.29. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same currently stands at $13.81.

Wrapping Up

Cooper Companies exited the fiscal second quarter on a strong note, wherein earnings missed the consensus mark, but revenues beat the same. The company witnessed solid performance across its core CVI and CSI units during the quarter under review, along with robust geographical performances. A solid financial outlook amid persistent pandemic-led challenges raises optimism.

Per management, the company continues to witness success with its daily silicone hydrogel lenses, which positions it as one of the leaders in the soft contact lens market. The company remains optimistic about its myopia management program, which comprises MiSight and Ortho K lenses, and sustained strength in fertility.

However, an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is concerning. Contraction in both gross and operating margins is disappointing.
