ITEM 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On May 5, 2005, The Cooper Companies, Inc. issued a press release publicly disclosing the following information. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference herein, and this press release shall not be deemed “filed” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
In the press release, we included the previously reported Q1 2005 actual earnings per share excluding nonrecurring items and accounting changes of $0.58 which is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is computed from the reported EPS of $0.48 (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) by adding $3.722 million of nonrecurring items, net of tax, to reported income for calculating earnings per share of $19.010 million and then dividing by 39.479 million shares.
