Excluding one-time charges and deal-related amortization, the transaction is expected to be accretive to non-GAAP gross and operating margins and accretive to non-GAAP earnings per share by approximately $0.20.

Cooper will report these assets as part of its Office and Surgical category within the CooperSurgical business beginning in its fiscal first quarter of 2024. This transaction does not include any of the fertility products contemplated in the original deal announced on February 7, 2022.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. served as financial advisor to Cooper.
