Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Acquisitions and Joint Venture

Note 2. Acquisitions and Joint Venture

All acquisitions were funded by cash generated from operations or facility borrowings.

On November 1, 2022, CooperVision completed the acquisition of a privately-held U.S.-based company that provides a broad portfolio of technologically advanced contact lens products, including scleral and hybrid lenses. The purchase price of the acquisition was $33.0 million. Based upon preliminary valuations, assets acquired primarily comprised $12.6 million of customer relationship related intangibles, $7.6 million of technology, $5.1 million of net assets and $7.7 million of goodwill. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation is preliminary, and the Company is in the process of finalizing information primarily related to the effect on taxes and the corresponding impact on goodwill.

On April 6, 2022, CooperSurgical entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire Cook Medical's Reproductive Health business, a manufacturer of minimally invasive medical devices focused on the fertility, obstetrics and gynecology markets. The aggregate consideration payable under the agreement was $875.0 million in cash, with $675.0 million payable at the closing and the remaining $200.0 million payable in $50.0 million installments following each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the closing. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, CooperSurgical determined that the fulfillment of certain closing conditions related to regulatory approvals was no longer probable and accrued $45.0 million in expenses for a termination fee under the asset purchase agreement. The termination fee is recorded in "selling, general and administrative expense" on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and was paid on August 9, 2023.

Joint Venture

On January 19, 2021, CooperVision acquired all of the remaining equity interests of SightGlass Vision, Inc. (SGV), a privately-held medical device company that developed spectacle lenses for myopia management. The transaction included potential payments of future consideration that were contingent upon the achievement of the regulatory approval milestone (the regulatory approval payment) and the acquired business reaching certain revenue thresholds over a specified period (the revenue payments). The undiscounted range of the contingent consideration was zero to $139.1 million payable to the other former equity interest owners.

In March 2022, the entities amended the terms of the contingent consideration, which resulted in CooperVision paying $42.9 million to the former equity interest owners in exchange for the elimination of the revenue payments to such former equity interest owners. CooperVision recognized a net gain of $12.2 million during fiscal 2022.

Further, CooperVision and Essilor International SAS (Essilor) executed a Contribution Agreement and a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreements”) in March 2022. Essilor paid CooperVision $52.1 million in exchange for a 50% interest in SGV and their proportionate share of the revenue payments. As part of the Agreements, each party contributed their interest in SGV and $10 million in cash to form a new joint venture. CooperVision then remeasured the fair value of its retained equity investment in the joint venture at $90.0 million which resulted in a $56.9 million gain in Other (income) expense on deconsolidation of SGV in fiscal 2022.

During the nine months ended July 31, 2023, CooperVision determined that approval would not be achieved within the timeline set forth in the contractual terms of the regulatory approval payment and released the remaining $31.8 million contingent consideration liability.

Further information regarding the joint venture is included in our notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022.
