Note 1. General

The Cooper Companies, Inc. (Cooper, we or the Company) is a global medical device company publicly traded on the NYSE Euronext (NYSE:COO). Cooper is dedicated to serving the needs of the healthcare professional, improving the quality of life for its employees and customers and providing competitive products. Cooper operates through two business units, CooperVision and CooperSurgical.

•

CooperVision produces a broad range of monthly, two-week and single-use contact lenses, featuring advanced materials and optics. CooperVision brings a commitment to solving the toughest vision challenges such as astigmatism, presbyopia and ocular dryness; with a broad collection of spherical, toric and multifocal contact lenses.

•

CooperSurgical develops, manufactures and markets medical devices and procedure solutions to improve healthcare delivery to women in any clinical setting.

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements presented in this report contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly Cooper’s consolidated condensed financial position at January 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011, the consolidated results of its operations for the three months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011 and its consolidated condensed cash flows for the three months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011. Most of these adjustments are normal and recurring. However, certain adjustments associated with acquisitions and the related financial arrangements are of a nonrecurring nature. Readers should not assume that the results reported here either indicate or guarantee future performance.

During interim periods, we follow the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011. Please refer to this when reviewing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Management estimates and judgments are an integral part of financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). We believe that the critical accounting policies listed below address the more significant estimates required of management when preparing our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. We consider an accounting estimate critical if changes in the estimate may have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and resulting balances are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustment to these balances in future periods. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates, judgments and assumptions and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are:

•

Revenue recognition

•

Allowance for doubtful accounts

•

Net realizable value of inventory

•

Valuation of goodwill

•

Business combinations

•

Income taxes

•

Share-based compensation

During the fiscal first three months of 2012, there were no significant changes in our estimates and critical accounting policies. Please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, for a more complete discussion of our estimates and critical accounting policies.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test as described in ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other . The ASU defines the more-likely-than-not threshold as having a likelihood of more than 50%. Under the amendments in this update, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to early adopt this ASU for the fiscal year beginning on November 1, 2011 and does not anticipate that the adoption will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On November 1, 2011, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-29, Business Combinations: Disclosure of Supplementary Proforma Information for Business Combinations, which amends ASC 805, Business Combinations. The amendments in this ASU affect any public entity as defined by ASC 805 that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental proforma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring proforma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported proforma revenue and earnings. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. As this guidance only requires enhanced disclosures, its adoption does not have a material impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

On November 1, 2011, the Company adopted the provisions of the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts, which amends ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This accounting standard (1) eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity; (2) requires the consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income; and (3) requires an entity to present reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements from other comprehensive income to net income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income nor do the amendments affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, which defers the requirement within ASU 2011-05 to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. During the deferral, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect prior to the issuance of ASU 2011-05. The amendments made by these ASUs should be applied retrospectively and become effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of these ASUs, which are effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning on November 1, 2012, will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We performed our annual impairment test in our fiscal third quarter of 2011, and our analysis indicated that we had no impairment of goodwill. As described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, we will continue to monitor conditions and changes which could indicate that our recorded goodwill may be impaired.

Credit Agreement: On January 12, 2011, Cooper refinanced its existing syndicated Senior Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit (Revolver) with a new Credit Agreement that provides for a multicurrency revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $750.0 million and an amortizing term loan facility in an original principal amount of $250.0 million, each of which, unless terminated earlier, mature on January 12, 2016. In addition, the Company has the ability from time to time to increase the size of the revolving credit facility by up to an additional $250.0 million. KeyBank led the refinancing with certain banks that participated in the Revolver retaining or increasing their participation in the Credit Agreement.

THE COOPER COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Continued

(Unaudited)

At January 31, 2012, we had $603.9 million available under the Credit Agreement.

Amounts outstanding under the new Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either the base rate, which is a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) KeyBank’s prime rate, (b) one-half of one percent in excess of the federal funds effective rate and (c) one percent in excess of the adjusted LIBOR rate for a one-month interest period on such day, or the LIBOR or adjusted foreign currency rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin in respect of base rate loans and in respect of LIBOR or adjusted foreign currency rate loans. The applicable margins are determined quarterly based upon the Company’s ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated proforma EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement.

The Company pays an annual commitment fee that ranges from 0.15% to 0.50% of the unused portion of the revolving credit facility depending on our ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated proforma EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement. In addition to this annual commitment fee, the Company is also required to pay certain letter of credit and related fronting fees and other administrative fees pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

The Company’s new credit facility is not secured by any of its, or any of its subsidiaries’, assets. All obligations under the new credit facility will be guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect material domestic subsidiaries.

The term loan facility will amortize in equal quarterly installments as follows, with the remainder due on the term loan maturity date: 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the term loan for the first three years following the closing date and 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the term loan for the fourth and fifth years following the closing date.

Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is also required to maintain specified financial ratios:

•

The ratio of Consolidated Proforma EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense (as defined, Interest Coverage Ratio) be at least 3.00 to 1.00 at all times.

•

The ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated Proforma EBITDA (as defined, Total Leverage Ratio) be no higher than 3.75 to 1.00.

At January 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the Interest Coverage Ratio at 27.52 to 1.00 and the Total Leverage Ratio at 1.06 to 1.00.

In our fiscal first quarter of 2011, the Company wrote off about $0.3 million of debt issuance costs in interest expense as a result of extinguishing the Revolver. The remaining $0.5 million of existing debt issuance costs and the $9.5 million of costs incurred to refinance the Credit Agreement are carried in other assets and amortized to interest expense over the life of the Credit Agreement.

Senior Notes: On January 31, 2007, the Company issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% Senior Notes (the Notes) due February 15, 2015, of which none were outstanding at the end of our fiscal first quarter of 2012. The Notes paid interest semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning August 15, 2007. The Notes were offered in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.

THE COOPER COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Continued

(Unaudited)

On January 12, 2011, we provided formal notice, and on February 15, 2011, we redeemed all $339.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee, pursuant to which the Notes were issued. In accordance with the Indenture, the redemption price for the Notes was 103.563% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to February 15, 2011, the redemption date. Due to the redemption of all outstanding Notes, we no longer disclose financial information for guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries.

In our fiscal second quarter of 2011, we recorded a $16.5 million loss on the repurchase that includes the write-off of about $4.4 million of unamortized costs and the redemption premium of $12.1 million related to the Notes on our Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company paid the aggregate purchase price from borrowings under the new Credit Agreement, including $250.0 million from the term loan facility.

Note 5. Income Taxes

Cooper’s effective tax rate (ETR) (provision for income taxes divided by pretax income) for the fiscal first quarter of 2012 was 7.0%. Our year-to-date results include the projected fiscal year ETR, plus any discrete items. The ETR used to record the provision for income taxes for the fiscal first quarter of 2011 was 4.4%. The ETR is below the United States statutory rate as a majority of our income is earned in foreign jurisdictions with lower tax rates reflecting the shift in the geographic mix of income during recent periods with income earned in foreign jurisdictions increasing as compared to income earned in the United States.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-25-5 through 25-17, Basic Recognition Threshold, formerly FIN 48, on November 1, 2007. Under this guidance, the Company recognizes 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. As of November 1, 2011, the Company had total gross unrecognized tax benefits of $27.4 million. If recognized, $27.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits would impact the Company’s ETR. For the three-month period ended January 31, 2012, there were no material changes to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits.

Interest and penalties of $1.6 million have been reflected as a component of the total liability as of November 1, 2011. It is the Company’s policy to recognize the items of interest and penalties directly related to income taxes as additional income tax expense.

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at November 1, 2011 is $9.0 million related to tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts could significantly change during the next twelve months. This amount represents a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits related to the settlement of litigation in the U.S. Tax Court and expiring statutes in various jurisdictions worldwide, and is comprised of transfer pricing, Subpart F and other items.

As of January 31, 2012, the tax years for which the Company remains subject to United States Federal income tax assessment upon examination are 2008 through 2011. The Company remains subject to income tax examinations in other major tax jurisdictions including the United Kingdom, France and Australia for the tax years 2007 through 2011.

Note 8. Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchases

On December 15, 2011, we announced that the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the 2012 Share Repurchase Program of up to $150.0 million of the Company’s common stock. This program runs through December 31, 2012 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 will be made from time to time as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. During the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company repurchased 663 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock for $46.1 million, at an average purchase price of $69.60 per share. The Company did not repurchase any shares during fiscal 2011. At January 31, 2012, approximately $103.9 million remained authorized for repurchase under the 2012 Share Repurchase Program.

Dividends

We paid a semiannual dividend of approximately $1.4 million or 3 cents per share on February 7, 2012, to stockholders of record on January 25, 2012.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

As of January 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, lines of credit, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments and the ability to obtain financing on similar terms.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported at fair value and defines 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. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that 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. ASC 820 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be 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.

The Company has derivative assets and liabilities that include interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. The impact of the counterparty’s creditworthiness when in an asset position and the Company’s creditworthiness when in a liability position has also been factored into the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments. Both the counterparty and the Company are expected to continue to perform under the contractual terms of the instruments.

We may use interest rate swaps to maintain our desired mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. The swaps exchange fixed and variable rate payments without exchanging the notional principal amount of the debt. The Company has elected to use the income approach to value the derivatives using observable Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled to transact. Level 2

inputs are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, specifically euro dollar futures contracts up to three years, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability—specifically LIBOR cash and swap rates and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals. Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient for fair value measurements.

We may use foreign exchange forward contracts to minimize, to the extent reasonable and practical, our exposure to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The Company has elected to use the income approach to value the derivatives, using observable Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount assuming that participants are motivated but not compelled to transact. Level 2 inputs for the valuations are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability -specifically LIBOR cash rates, credit risk at commonly quoted intervals, foreign exchange spot rates and forward points. Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient for fair value measurements.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs during the fiscal first quarter of 2012, within the fair value hierarchy at January 31, 2012, and fiscal year 2011, within the fair value hierarchy at October 31, 2011:

Note 10. Employee Benefits

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

Legal Proceedings

Securities Litigation

On November 28, 2011, Harold Greenberg filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Case No. 4:11-cv-05697-YGR, against the following defendants: the Company; Robert S. Weiss, its President, Chief Executive Officer and a director; Eugene J. Midlock, its former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Albert G. White, III, its Vice President of Investor Relations, Treasurer and Chief Strategic Officer. On December 12, 2011, a second individual, Ross Wallen, filed a related complaint against the same defendants in the Northern District of California, Case No. 4:11-cv-06214-YGR. The Wallen complaint largely repeats the allegations in the Greenberg complaint. Greenberg and Wallen each sought to represent a class of persons who purchased the Company’s common stock between March 4, 2011 and November 15, 2011.

The Greenberg and Wallen complaints allege that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by, among other things, failing to disclose alleged problems at the Company’s manufacturing plants in Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom, allegedly making material misstatements with an intent to deceive investors concerning the recall of the Company’s Avaira^® Toric and Avaira Sphere contact lenses and the expected financial impact of the recalls, and allegedly making false projections of future financial results. Both complaints seek unspecified damages on behalf of the purported class.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 sets out a procedure for the court to consolidate related securities class actions and to appoint a lead plaintiff. On February 29, 2012, the court ordered that the Greenberg and Wallen actions be consolidated and appointed Universal-Investment-Gesellschaft mbH as lead plaintiff.

The lawsuits have only recently been filed and there has been no discovery or other proceedings. Accordingly, the Company is not in a position to assess whether any loss or adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition is probable or remote or to estimate the range of potential loss, if any.

Derivative Litigation

On January 9, 2012, Joseph Operman filed a purported shareholder derivative complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Case No. 4:12-cv-00143-YGR, against members of the Company’s board of directors. The derivative complaint seeks recovery on behalf of the Company, which is named as a “nominal defendant.” The derivative complaint purports to allege causes of action for breach of fiduciary duties and failure to exercise oversight responsibilities against all defendants and a cause of action for contribution against Mr. Weiss for alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The derivative complaint largely repeats the allegations in the securities class action complaints described above. The Company and the individual defendants have not yet filed a response to the derivative complaint.

and Results of Operations, Continued

Results of Operations

In this section, we discuss the results of our operations for the fiscal first quarter of 2012 and compare them with the same period of fiscal 2011. We discuss our cash flows and current financial condition under “Capital Resources and Liquidity.”

First Quarter Highlights

•

Net sales of $326.1 million, up 11%.

•

Gross profit $210.5 million, up 19% from $176.6 million.

•

Operating income $61.7 million, up 27% from $48.7 million.

•

Diluted earnings per share of $1.12, up from 83 cents per share.

•

Cash provided by operations $41.6 million, down from $72.9 million.

Outlook

Overall, we remain optimistic about the long-term prospects for the worldwide contact lens and women’s healthcare markets. However, events affecting the economy as a whole, including the uncertainty and instability of global markets driven by employment, housing and credit concerns and the European debt crisis continue to represent a risk to our forecasted performance for fiscal year 2012 and beyond.

We compete in the worldwide contact lens market with our spherical, toric and multifocal contact lenses offered in a variety of materials including using phosphorylcholine (PC) Technology™ and silicone hydrogel Aquaform^® 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. CooperVision is focused on greater worldwide market penetration as we roll out new products and continue to expand our presence in existing and emerging markets, including through acquisitions.

Sales of contact lenses utilizing silicone hydrogel materials, a major product material in the industry, have grown significantly. In the past three years, CooperVision launched monthly silicone hydrogel spherical, toric and multifocal lens products under our Biofinity^® brand and two-week silicone hydrogel spherical and toric lens products under our Avaira brand. In fiscal 2011, we launched our Biofinity spherical silicone hydrogel lens in Japan and our Biofinity multifocal lens globally. Competitive silicone hydrogel single-use lens products are gaining market share and represent a risk to our business. We have not yet marketed a silicone hydrogel single-use product. Our ability to compete successfully with a full range of silicone hydrogel products is an important factor to achieving our projected future levels of sales growth and profitability.

In August 2011, CooperVision initiated a recall on limited lots of Avaira Toric contact lenses, and in November 2011, this recall was expanded to cover limited lots of Avaira Sphere contact lenses. The recall was initiated because of the level of a residue (silicone oil) on certain lenses. The residue may cause hazy vision, severe eye pain or an eye injury. The manufacturing issue has been identified and process changes have been implemented. These process changes are subject to review by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Avaira Toric and Avaira Sphere lenses that are subject to the recall represented less than 2% of the Company’s fiscal 2011 net sales. Avaira Sphere lenses remain on the market, while Avaira Toric lenses are awaiting FDA authorization to return to the market. This recall is limited solely to specific lots of Avaira Toric and Avaira Sphere contact lenses and no other CooperVision products are involved in this recall.

THE COOPER COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

and Results of Operations, Continued

We are also in the process of developing a number of new contact lens products to enhance CooperVision’s worldwide product lines. New products planned for introduction over the next two years include additional lenses utilizing silicone hydrogel and PC Technology™ materials and new lens designs, including multifocal and single-use silicone hydrogel lenses.

The medical device segment of the women’s healthcare market is highly fragmented. CooperSurgical has steadily grown its market presence and distribution system by developing products and acquiring products and companies that complement its business model. In fiscal 2011, CooperSurgical acquired Apple Medical, Corporation and Summit Doppler Systems, Inc. We intend to continue to invest in CooperSurgical’s business through acquisitions of companies and product lines.

In the fiscal first quarter of 2011, we refinanced our syndicated Senior Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit due to mature on January 31, 2012, with a new Credit Agreement that provides for a multicurrency revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $750.0 million and an amortizing term loan facility in an original principal amount of $250.0 million, each of which, mature on January 12, 2016. At January 31, 2012, we had $603.9 million available under the Credit Agreement. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operating activities and borrowing capacity under existing credit facilities will fund operations both in the next 12 months and in the longer term as well as current and long-term cash requirements for capital expenditures, acquisitions, share repurchases and cash dividends.

Net Sales

Cooper’s two business units, CooperVision and CooperSurgical, generate all of its sales.

•

CooperSurgical develops, manufactures and markets medical devices and procedure solutions to improve healthcare delivery to women in any clinical setting.

Our consolidated net sales grew by $32.9 million or 11% in the three months ended January 31, 2012:


Three Months Ended January 31, ($ in millions)	2012		2011		% Change
CooperVision	$	268.9	$	243.6		10	%
CooperSurgical		57.2		49.6		15	%

	$	326.1	$	293.2		11	%

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 order to achieve comfortable and healthy contact lens wear, products are sold with recommended replacement schedules, often defined as modalities, with the primary modalities being single-use, two-week and monthly. CooperVision offers spherical, aspherical, toric, multifocal and toric multifocal lens products in most modalities.

The contact lens market consists primarily of disposable and frequently replaced lenses. Disposable lenses are designed for either daily, two-week or monthly replacement; frequently replaced lenses are designed for replacement after one to three months. Significantly, the market for spherical lenses is growing with value-added spherical lenses to alleviate dry eye symptoms as well as lenses with aspherical optical properties or higher oxygen permeable lenses such as silicone hydrogels.

CooperVision’s Proclear^® brand aspheric, toric and multifocal contact lenses, manufactured using phosphorylcholine (PC) Technology, help enhance tissue/device compatibility and offer improved lens comfort.

CooperVision’s Biofinity brand silicone hydrogel spherical, toric and multifocal contact lenses and Avaira brand spherical and toric products are manufactured using proprietary Aquaform technology to increase oxygen transmissibility for longer wear. We believe that it is important to develop a full range of multifocal and single-use silicone hydrogel products due to increased pressure from silicone hydrogel products offered by our major competitors.

THE COOPER COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

and Results of Operations, Continued

Net sales growth includes increases in single-use spheres up 14% and total spheres up 10%. Total toric lenses grew 8%, including 22% growth of single-use toric lenses, and multifocal lenses grew 25% compared to the prior year period. Silicone hydrogel products grew 39%, and Proclear products increased 7%. Older conventional lens products and cosmetic lenses declined 12% and 34%, respectively.

CooperVision competes in the worldwide soft contact lens market and services three primary regions: the Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and Asia Pacific.

CooperVision Net Sales by Geography


Three Months Ended January 31, ($ in millions)	2012		2011		% Change
Americas	$	106.0	$	96.2		10	%
EMEA		95.4		90.7		5	%
Asia Pacific		67.5		56.7		19	%

	$	268.9	$	243.6		10	%

CooperVision’s worldwide net sales grew 10% in the period-to-period comparison. Americas net sales grew 10%, primarily due to market gains of CooperVision’s silicone hydrogel lenses, up 38% in the period, and single-use lenses, up 22%. EMEA net sales grew 5% in the period driven by increases in sales of silicone hydrogel lenses, up 32% and single-use lenses, up 10%. Net sales to the Asia Pacific region grew 19%, primarily due to sales growth of single-use spherical and toric products, up 15% and silicone hydrogel lenses, up 107%.

CooperVision’s net sales growth was driven primarily by increases in the volume of lenses sold and introduction of new products, primarily silicone hydrogel lenses together with acquisitions. While unit growth and product mix have influenced CooperVision’s sales growth, average realized prices by product have not materially influenced sales growth.

CooperSurgical Net Sales

CooperSurgical’s net sales increased 15% in the period-to-period comparison to $57.2 million with net sales growth excluding acquisitions of 9%. Sales of products used in surgical procedures grew 24% and now represent 40% of CooperSurgical’s sales compared to 37% in the prior year period. CooperSurgical's sales are primarily comprised of women's healthcare products used by gynecologists and obstetricians in both office and surgical procedures. The balance consists of sales of medical devices outside of women’s healthcare which CooperSurgical does not actively market. Unit growth and product mix along with increased average realized prices on disposable products have influenced organic sales growth.

Cost of Sales/Gross Profit


Gross Profit Percentage of Net Sales Three Months Ended January 31,	2012			2011
CooperVision		64	%		59	%
CooperSurgical		67	%		64	%
Consolidated		65	%		60	%

The increases in CooperVision’s gross margin are largely attributable to improvements in manufacturing efficiencies and product mix, primarily the shift to higher margin silicone hydrogel products. Gross margin also reflects efficiencies associated with the 2009 CooperVision Manufacturing restructuring plan that was completed in the fiscal first quarter of 2011. There were no costs associated with this plan recorded in the current year period and $1.9 million recorded as cost of sales in the prior year period.

The increase in CooperSurgical’s gross margin is largely attributable to manufacturing efficiency improvements and product mix including higher margins on products used in surgical procedures that represented 40% of net sales in the current year period compared to 37% in the prior year period.

The increase in CooperVision’s SGA both in dollars and as a percentage of net sales in the fiscal 2012 period is primarily due to our increased investment in sales and marketing to reach new customers and to promote our silicone hydrogel products.

The increase in CooperSurgical’s SGA in the fiscal 2012 period is primarily due to our increased investment in sales activities to promote our products, with emphasis on products used in surgical procedures, and to support anticipated further growth.

Corporate headquarters’ SGA increased in the fiscal 2012 period primarily due to increased headcount and share-based compensation costs.

	$	11.4		4	%	$	9.7		3	%		17	%

CooperVision research and development expense increased 17% in the fiscal 2012 period primarily due to investments in new technologies, clinical trials and increased headcount. CooperVision’s research and development activities include programs to develop single-use silicone hydrogel products and products utilizing PC Technology.

CooperSurgical research and development expense increased 19% in the fiscal 2012 period, primarily due to investments in the design of surgical procedure devices. Other research and development activities include the upgrade and expansion of CooperSurgical’s portfolio of assisted reproductive technology products as well as products within the general obstetrics and gynecology offerings.

Amortization Expense

The 18% increase in amortization expense is due to acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions completed in fiscal 2011.

	$	61.7			19	%	$	48.7			17	%		27	%

The increase in consolidated operating income in the current year period both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the increase in gross profit of 19%, partially offset by the increase in operating expenses of 16%.

Interest Expense

Interest expense in the fiscal first quarter of 2012 decreased 47% to $3.7 million as compared to the prior year period. The decrease primarily reflects lower average debt in the current period and a reduction in our long-term borrowings used for capital expenditures along with the redemption of our 7.125% Senior Notes in February 2011.

Share Repurchase

In December 2011, we announced a $150.0 million share repurchase plan authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors. During the fiscal first quarter ended January 31, 2012, the Company repurchased 663 thousand shares of our common stock for $46.1 million at an average purchase price of $69.60. As of January 31, 2012, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase $103.9 million of our common stock. See Note 8.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $4.1 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2012 compared to $1.8 million in the prior year period. Cooper’s effective tax rate (ETR) (provision for income taxes divided by pretax income) for the fiscal first quarter of 2012 was 7.0%. Our year-to-date results include the projected fiscal year ETR, plus any discrete items. The ETR used to record the provision for income taxes for the fiscal first quarter of 2011 was 4.4%.

The ETR is below the United States statutory rate as a majority of our income is earned in foreign jurisdictions with lower tax rates reflecting the shift in the geographic mix of income during recent periods with income earned in foreign jurisdictions increasing as compared to income earned in the United States. As a result, the ratio of domestic income to worldwide income primarily within CooperVision has decreased over recent fiscal periods. A reduction in the ratio of domestic income to worldwide income effectively lowers the overall tax rate due to the fact that the tax rates in the majority of foreign jurisdictions where the Company operates are significantly lower than the statutory rate in the United States.

On April 1, 2011, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a Notice of Deficiency to the Company in connection with its audit of the Company’s income tax returns for the years 2005 and 2006. The Notice asserted that the Company is subject to additional taxes due for its tax year 2005 under the anti-deferral provisions of Subpart F of the Internal Revenue Code. A settlement concerning the 2005 claimed deficiency was subsequently reached with District Counsel for the IRS which effectively settled all related matters. The decision document was filed with the U.S. Tax Court on January 19, 2012 with an agreed net deficiency of about $50 thousand.

Working Capital

The increase in working capital at January 31, 2012, was primarily due to increases in inventory and other current assets and decreases in accounts payable, other accrued liabilities and short-term debt. This increase was partially offset by decreases in trade accounts receivable and deferred tax assets.

The increase in inventory was primarily due to production to support new product launches and in anticipation of the re-launch of our Avaira Toric contact lenses. At January 31, 2012, Cooper’s inventory months on hand (MOH) were 7.1 representing an increase from 6.2 at January 31, 2011. The decrease in trade accounts receivable was primarily due to timing of collections and also reflects the higher sales in our fiscal fourth quarter of 2011. Our days sales outstanding (DSO) decreased to 59 days at January 31, 2012 from 61 days in the prior year period. Based on our experience and knowledge of our customers and our analysis of inventoried products and product levels, we believe that our reported accounts receivable and inventories are recoverable.

The Company has reviewed its needs in the United States for possible repatriation of undistributed earnings or cash of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company presently intends to continue to indefinitely invest all earnings and cash outside of the United States of all foreign subsidiaries to fund foreign investments or meet foreign working capital and property, plant and equipment requirements.

Operating Cash Flow

Cash flow provided by operating activities continued in the fiscal first quarter of 2012 as Cooper’s major source of liquidity, at $41.6 million compared to $72.9 million in the prior year period. Current period results include $54.6 million of net income and $31.2 million of non-cash items primarily related to depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and currency translation. Results also include $44.3 million from the net changes in assets and liabilities. The $31.4 million decrease from the comparable period of fiscal 2011 is primarily due to the $19.2 million increase in inventory and the $10.0 million single lump-sum payment to settle the Rembrandt Vision Technologies, L.P. lawsuit under the agreement reached December 2, 2011.

For the three months ended January 31, 2012, our primary source of cash flows provided by operating activities was cash collections from our customers for purchase of our products totaling $340.7 million. Our primary uses of cash flows from operating activities included $278.8 million used for personnel and material costs and cash payments of $3.7 million and $6.6 million for interest and income tax, respectively, along with the $10.0 million settlement payment related to the Rembrandt lawsuit.

For the three months ended January 31, 2011, our primary source of cash flows provided by operating activities was cash collections from our customers for purchase of our products totaling $301.3 million. Our uses of cash flows provided by operating activities included $224.4 million used primarily for personnel and material costs and cash payments of $0.7 million and $3.2 million for interest and income tax, respectively.

Investing Cash Flow

Cash used in investing activities of $18.8 million in the fiscal first three months of 2012 was for capital expenditures of $20.0 million, primarily to increase manufacturing capacity, and payments of $0.4 million related to acquisitions, partially offset by $1.6 million insurance recovery related to facility repairs.

Cash used in investing activities of $61.2 million in the fiscal first three months of 2011 was for capital expenditures of $28.8 million, primarily to improve manufacturing efficiency, and payments of $32.4 million related to acquisitions.

Financing Cash Flow

The changes in cash flows from financing activities primarily relate to borrowings and payments of debt as well as share-based compensation awards and share repurchases. Cash used in financing activities of $20.2 million in the fiscal first three months of 2012 was driven by $46.1 million in payments for share repurchases under the plan discussed above, a $1.3 million payment for contingent consideration and $2.6 million for share-based compensation awards partially offset by net borrowings of debt of $29.9 million.

Cash used in financing activities of $11.9 million in the fiscal first three months of 2011 was driven by net repayments of debt of $8.9 million, and acquisition costs related to the Credit Agreement of $9.2 million, partially offset by proceeds of $6.2 million from the exercise of share-based compensation awards.

At January 31, 2012, we had $603.9 million available under the Credit Agreement, and we are in compliance with the financial covenants including the Interest Coverage Ratio and Total Leverage Ratio at 27.52 to 1.00 versus the requirement to be at least 3.00 to 1.00 and 1.06 to 1.00 versus the

and Results of Operations, Continued

requirement to remain below 3.75 to 1.00, respectively. As defined in the Credit Agreement, the Interest Coverage Ratio is the ratio of Consolidated Proforma EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense and the Total Leverage Ratio is the ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated Proforma EBITDA.

During the fiscal first quarter of 2012, there were no significant changes in our estimates and critical accounting policies. Please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, for a more complete discussion of our estimates and critical accounting policies.

The Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill during the fiscal third quarter of 2011, and our analysis indicated that we had no impairment of goodwill. As described in Note 3. Intangible Assets in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, we will continue to monitor conditions and changes that could indicate that our recorded goodwill may be impaired.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test as described in ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other . The ASU defines the more-likely-than-not threshold as having a likelihood of more than 50%. Under the amendments in this update, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is

and Results of Operations, Continued

permitted. The Company plans to early adopt this ASU for the fiscal year beginning on November 1, 2011 and does not anticipate that the adoption will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On November 1, 2011, the Company adopted the provisions of the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations: Disclosure of Supplementary Proforma Information for Business Combinations, which amends ASC 805, Business Combinations. The amendments in this ASU affect any public entity as defined by ASC 805 that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental proforma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring proforma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported proforma revenue and earnings. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. As this guidance only requires enhanced disclosures, its adoption does not have a material impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

periods presented. During the deferral, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect prior to the issuance of ASU 2011-05. The amendments made by these ASUs should be applied retrospectively and become effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of these ASUs, which are effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning on November 1, 2012, will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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, Swedish krona and Canadian dollar-denominated debt and receivables, and from operations in foreign currencies. We have taken steps to minimize our balance sheet exposure. 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 rate on our Credit Agreement may vary with the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). We have decreased this interest rate risk by hedging a significant portion of variable rate debt effectively converting it to fixed rate debt for varying periods through December 2014. For additional detail, see Item 1A. Risk Factors and Note 1 and Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011.

In fiscal 2011, we refinanced our syndicated Senior Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit due to mature on January 31, 2012, with a new Credit Agreement that provides for a multicurrency revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $750.0 million and an amortizing term loan facility in an original principal amount of $250.0 million, each of which, mature on January 12, 2016. On February 15, 2011, we redeemed all $339.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our Senior Notes, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, from borrowings under the new Credit Agreement, including $250.0 million from the term loan facility.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company has established and currently maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in its reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission and that any material information relating to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized and reported to its principal officers to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

In conjunction with the close of each fiscal quarter, the Company conducts a review and evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based upon their evaluation as of January 31, 2012, the end of the fiscal quarter covered in this report, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

As of January 31, 2012, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Tax Matter

Securities Litigation

The Greenberg and Wallen complaints allege that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by, among other things, failing to disclose alleged problems at the Company’s manufacturing plants in Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom, allegedly making material misstatements with an intent to deceive investors concerning the recall of the Company’s Avaira Toric and Avaira Sphere contact lenses and the expected financial impact of the recalls, and allegedly making false projections of future financial results. Both complaints seek unspecified damages on behalf of the purported class.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 sets out a procedure for the court to consolidate related securities class actions and to appoint a lead plaintiff. On February 29, 2012, the court ordered the Greenberg and Wallen actions be consolidated and appointed Universal-Investment-Gesellschaft mbH as lead plaintiff.

Derivative Litigation

On January 9, 2012, Joseph Operman filed a purported shareholder derivative complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Case No. 4:12-cv-00143-YGR, against members of the Company's board of directors. The derivative complaint seeks recovery on behalf of the Company, which is named as a “nominal defendant.” The derivative complaint purports to allege causes of action for breach of fiduciary duties and failure to exercise oversight responsibilities against all defendants and a cause of action for contribution against Mr. Weiss for alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The derivative complaint largely repeats the allegations in the securities class action complaints described above. The Company and the individual defendants have not yet filed a response to the derivative complaint.

The transactions described in the table above represent the repurchase of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange as part of the $150.0 million share repurchase program approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in December 2011 (2012 Share Repurchase Program). Purchases under the 2012 Share Repurchase Program may be made from time-to-time on the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions and are subject to a review of the circumstances in place at the time and will be made from time to time as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. This program runs through December 31, 2012 and may be discontinued at any time. At January 31, 2012, approximately $103.9 million remained authorized for repurchase under the 2012 Share Repurchase Program.
