What's Driving COO’s Performance?
The Cooper Companies continues to lead the specialty contact lens market with its innovative product lineup, flexibility and strong relationships with key accounts. Its flagship silicone hydrogel lenses, such as MyDay and Clariti, are expected to fuel robust sales in the upcoming quarters. Additionally, its silicone hydrogel FRP lenses, Biofinity and Avaira, are projected to support revenue growth.
The contact lens market is expected to grow 5-7% in 2025, supported by the long-term macro growth trend of more people needing vision correction. Strong demand for Cooper Companies’ lenses has led to a gain in market share as the company remains the leader in the category. A shift in demand toward higher value products, coupled with price hikes by the company for certain lenses, buoys optimism. COO’s focus on launching new products is promising.
In the fiscal first quarter, the CVI segment showed solid growth, with revenues rising 4% at constant currency to $646.1 million. According to management, the strong demand for silicone hydrogel lenses contributed to this performance. We expect CVI revenues to grow more than 7% organically for the next three years. Our model anticipates total revenues of $2.75 billion for the CVI segment in fiscal 2025.
The Cooper Companies also offers products for myopia management. MiSight is the key growth product in the company’s myopia management portfolio as it is the only FDA-approved contact lens for myopia control, especially in children.
The company registered robust sales growth of 20% during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from its myopia management portfolio. MiSight sales were up 27%. The positive trend for MiSight in the Americas and EMEA is likely to continue in fiscal 2025, with an expected growth rate of 40%. Moreover, sales in the Asia Pacific region are likely to improve going forward after a few challenging quarters.
COO is also well-positioned to capitalize on its expanding CSI product portfolio. Strong demand for its products and services in the CSI portfolio, especially for fertility, persisted in the first quarter. The company expects CSI revenues to continue this trend in the rest of fiscal 2025 as well. It expects annual sales in the targeted market for CSI products and services, currently more than $3 billion, to grow 5-10% over the long term.
The CSI portfolio demonstrated robust growth during the fiscal first quarter, with revenues increasing 3% year over year to $318.6 million. The fertility business led the performance, growing 1% year over year (3% organically), driven by strong demand for consumables, reproductive genetic testing and capital equipment.
Key innovations, such as advanced genomics and AI-driven fertility solutions, further enhanced this segment, underscored by its success at the American Society of Reproductive Medicine Conference. Additionally, the office and surgical segment contributed $198.9 million in revenues, up 4%, supported by growth in minimally invasive gynecological surgical devices and labor and delivery products. Recent acquisitions, including that of obp Surgical, added momentum.
Our model predicts CSI revenues to be $1.36 billion in fiscal 2025, indicating organic growth of 4.8% year over year.
