Cooper Companies (COO) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
The Cooper Companies, Inc.’s (COO - Free Report) fourth-quarter fiscal 2021 results are scheduled to release on Dec 2, after the closing bell.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 3.3%. Its earnings beat estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 6.9%.
Q4 Estimates
For the fiscal fourth quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $747.8 million, indicating an improvement of 9.7% from the year-ago quarter. The same for earnings stands at $3.37 per share, suggesting growth of 6.7% from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors to Note
Cooper Companies reports revenues under two major segments — CooperVision (CVI) and CooperSurgical (CSI). Both the segments displayed strength in the fiscal third quarter and we expect this momentum to have sustained in the fiscal fourth quarter.
With respect to the CVI segment, solid performance across the company’s daily silicone hydrogel portfolio and myopia management, and strength in torics and multifocals might have contributed to the segment’s performance in the quarter to be reported.
In fact, for fiscal 2021, CVI revenues are projected at $2.13-$2.15 billion (up 12% to 13% at constant exchange rate). This strength is likely to get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s results.
CSI displayed strength in the fiscal third quarter, with revenues of $205.9 million, up 60% and 58% from the year-ago period on a constant currency and reported basis, respectively. The segment benefited from a strong fertility sub-segment and PARAGARD sales. This momentum is likely to have continued in the fiscal fourth quarter as well. For fiscal 2021, CSI revenues are expected at $766-$755 million (up 29% to 31% at constant exchange rate). This strength is likely to get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter results.
With respect to MiSight 1-day contact lens, per the fiscal-third quarter 2021 earnings call, the company witnessed revenue growth of 187%. The momentum may have sustained in the fiscal fourth quarter, courtesy of the excellent progress shown with its key accounts and entry into new pilot programs with retailers and buying groups globally.
Cooper Companies is progressing well through inorganic expansion.
Per the fiscal first-quarter 2021 earnings call, the company’s buyout of SightGlass Vision and collaboration with EssilorLuxottica is encouraging. SightGlass Vision has created innovative spectacles to lower the progression of myopia in children, and its joint venture with EssilorLuxottica will leverage the company’s shared expertise and global leadership in myopia management to advance commercialization of these spectacles worldwide.
During the same period, Cooper Companies acquired Embryo Options in order to boost its fertility portfolio by adding a cryo storage software solution, thereby enabling clinics to automate management of cryopreserved embryos, eggs and sperm.
These developments may have favored the fiscal fourth-quarter performance.
Cooper Companies has been witnessing higher contact lenses demand, driven by the global transition to daily contact lenses by customers of late. The company has been making advancements in customized product offerings, which are likely to have contributed to the fiscal fourth-quarter performance.
