The company reported a net income of $87.7 million, with interest expenses decreasing to $23.5 million from $28.9 million a year ago.

Guidance for fiscal year 2025 has been adjusted to reflect updated expectations.

Geographically, the Americas saw an 8% growth, with EMEA and Asia Pacific growing by 6% and 5%, respectively. CooperSurgical’s office and surgical segment reflected robust performance with a 13% increase in revenue.
