Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
CooperVision and CooperSurgical both posted strong results, and we expect this to continue
We're off to an outstanding start this year, posting all-time record quarterly revenues of $932 million
CooperVision started the year on a solid note, growing nicely around the world and CooperSurgical achieved record quarterly revenues with our fertility business posting its 13 consecutive quarter of double-digit organic growth
Our earnings were strong and our momentum is excellent with capacity expansion progressing well and demand remaining very healthy
We're in a really good position moving forward
CooperVision posted revenues of $622 million, up 7%, led by strength in our daily silicone hydrogel portfolio
And CooperSurgical posted revenues of $310 million, up 8%, led by another great quarter in our fertility business
Margins improved, and profits were solid with non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.85, remembering that we just completed a 4-for-1 stock split last week
So yes, you picked up on that is a good point because that is a benefit, and it's going to help us continue to drive growth
All three regions reported success with our innovative product portfolios, market-leading flexibility and growth in key accounts
And our marketing team has done a really nice job there and the development team on streamlining some of that activity to ensure that optometrists understand the fitting process and are able to do it very quickly
We're continuing to see outsized demand, especially for MyDay, where our capacity is improving, and this is reflected in our higher revenue guidance that we'll cover shortly
We're seeing very strong growth in demand with MyDay
Starting with MyDay multifocal, our momentum is truly fantastic
And that would be a really exciting thing and really open the doors to a pretty significant market for us
But I would probably say, yes, MiSight really strong, maintaining strong
That's being driven by underlying strength in those key accounts, whereas you know, Jason, right, we have a good relationship with a lot of them through the store brands and so forth right now
I'm comfortable saying these are the best multifocals in the market and our outstanding growth and strong demand certainly supports that
This lens is also performing extremely well
The rollout of our parameter expansion across North America and Europe has been a tremendous success, and we look forward to increasing availability as capacity improves
It's just solid, consistent progress, right? That's why we did, what, 50%, a little over 50% growth this quarter
market and is continuing to generate great results
The other place that you'll see strong numbers, we're doing well from a fit perspective is in the daily silicone hydrogel side of things
Meanwhile, our premium MyDay sphere is also posting great results
To wrap up on MyDay, our team has done a phenomenal job supplying existing customers while keeping expectations in check on new product launches and geographic expansion
I'm now happy to report that our success expanding capacity is easing some of those constraints and allowing us to be more active moving forward
With its full family of silicone hydrogel spheres, torics and multifocals, we're continuing to do well
We have a great position in those categories and leadership position, right? We do really well
But I'm comfortable continuing to say that our fit data is in excess of our market share, which is a really good sign for us
It's worth highlighting our Biofinity toric multifocal, which is growing very nicely as eye care practitioners continue making it their primary lens for patients experiencing more complex vision needs balancing presbyopia with differing levels of astigmatism
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
Outside of MiSight, our Ortho K lenses declined 10% due to weakness in China
It's a loss, as you can imagine right now, as we continue to invest in it
If you look at legacy hydrogels and some of that kind of stuff, right, there's -- we certainly have weakness in those areas
So when you look at allocation of product and capacity constraints that we had, that negatively impacted Asia Pac and probably will, frankly, a little bit again here in the second quarter
The underlying demand is still a struggle there in terms of being able to grow volumes
Certainly, Q2 and Q3 are worse from an operating profit or a gross profit perspective
Below operating income, interest expense was $28.6 million, and the effective tax rate was lower than expected at 13.3% due to stock option exercises
It was down quarter-over-quarter
Outside of the FX piece, which is negative to us on revenues and EPS and some OI, frankly, and cost of goods, we're still holding gross margins pretty similar to last year
Not too much to say on that other than I think it got picked up a little bit about some communication we had in Japan with respect to some capacity constraints
So this is an issue that impacts a lot of people and will continue to do so in the future
The impact from FX was $0.03 negative year-over-year for the quarter
And the full year impact is still roughly a negative 1% to revenues and a negative 5% to earnings
And from a gating perspective, I wouldn't really point out anything in particular outside of the fact that FX, as we've been telling people last quarter, is a bit more of a negative in Q2, which is our worst FX quarter, and so it's going to impact us a little bit there
Now that's largely a U.S.-based thing because it's side to Alabama in the court like, we were like -- I won't kind of get in my high horse, if you will, of my frustration about what's going on there
But if that does get approved and hit the market, that would impact us
So it's tough
But as we look at next year and the years thereafter, I would expect it to come down on a percentage basis
One of the challenges that optometrists have with MiSight is they bring the child in
But we are seeing some volatility with respect to the Ortho K market and certainly within China
