LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Sept. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Toro Corp. (NASDAQ: TORO) (“Toro,” or the “Company”), a global energy transportation services provider, announces that it intends to effect a spin-off of its LPG carrier business.

AI OKTO CORP. (“AI OKTO”), currently a subsidiary of Toro, would become an independent publicly-traded company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market as a result of the planned spin-off (the “Spin-Off”). The initial assets of AI OKTO will include two LPG carriers, the LPG Dream Arrax and LPG Dream Vermax, and $45 million in cash contributed by Toro.

Toro believes that the creation of a pure-play LPG company, with part of its core strategy being to establish an artificial intelligence (“AI”)-enabled operating model through partnerships with vendors, data-infrastructure providers, and maritime-technology firms to identify, evaluate, and implement AI-driven solutions across its fleet, will provide significant benefits to both Toro and AI OKTO and their shareholders.

Toro shareholders do not need to take any action to receive AI OKTO shares to which they are entitled, and do not need to pay any consideration or surrender or exchange Toro common shares. Fractional AI OKTO common shares will not be distributed to Toro shareholders. Instead, the distribution agent will aggregate fractional AI OKTO common shares into whole shares, sell such whole AI OKTO shares in the open market at prevailing rates promptly after AI OKTO’s common shares commence trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and distribute the net cash proceeds from the sales pro rata to each holder who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional common shares in the distribution.

Toro’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Petros Panagiotidis, will be appointed as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AI OKTO. The transactions effected in connection with the Spin-Off will be approved by Toro’s Board of Directors on the recommendation of a disinterested and independent special committee.

AI OKTO has filed a registration statement on Form 20-F (the “Registration Statement”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), which includes a more detailed description of the terms of the proposed Spin-Off. The Spin-Off remains subject to the Registration Statement being declared effective and the approval of the listing of AI OKTO’s common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that the Spin-Off will occur or, if it does occur, of its terms or timing. A copy of the Registration Statement is available at www.sec.gov. The information in the filed Registration Statement and in this press release is not final and remains subject to change.

SAN RAMON, Calif., Sept. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CooperCompanies (Nasdaq: COO), a leading global medical device company, today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended July 31, 2026.

• Revenue increased 1% year-over-year to $1.066 billion, including 1% organic growth.
• GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.24, compared with $0.49 in last year’s third quarter, primarily driven by a $307.2 million discrete tax benefit resulting from the favorable completion of a U.K. tax examination.
• Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.15, up 4% from last year’s third quarter. See “Reconciliation of Selected GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Results” below.
• Free cash flow increased 66% to $273.0 million; repurchased $339.1 million of common stock.
• Completed the Company’s strategic review process and announced actions to enhance shareholder value; additional details provided in a separate press release issued today.

“This quarter included a number of notable developments including earnings exceeding expectations, record free cash flow, solid fertility growth at CooperSurgical, and a favorable completion of a significant tax matter. At CooperVision, however, we reduced U.S. channel inventory that weighed on our results and will continue to impact Q4,” said Al White, President and CEO of CooperCompanies. “Following the completion of the strategic review, we are focused on profitable growth, strong cash flow generation, disciplined capital allocation, and maximizing long-term shareholder value.”

Third
Quarter Operating Results

• Revenue of $1.066 billion, up 1% from last year’s third quarter on a reported basis, up 1% in constant currency, and up 1% organically.
• Gross margin of 67% compared with 65% in last year’s third quarter driven by fiscal 2025 inventory write-offs related to a product line exit at CooperSurgical. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 67%, down 60 basis points year-over-year, driven by higher manufacturing costs and unfavorable foreign exchange.
• Operating margin of 21% compared with 17% in last year’s third quarter, driven by lower operating expenses, as well as fiscal 2025 inventory and long-lived asset write-offs related to a product line exit at CooperSurgical. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin increased 30 basis points to 26%, driven by expense management and productivity initiatives, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange.
• Interest expense of $21.5 million compared with $25.4 million in last year’s third quarter driven by lower interest rates and lower average debt. On a non-GAAP basis, interest expense was $21.5 million compared with $24.7 million in the prior year period.
• Free cash flow of $273.0 million, up 66% from last year’s third quarter, reflecting cash provided by operations of $341.7 million less capital expenditures of $68.7 million.

Third
Quarter CooperVision (CVI) Revenue

• Revenue of $717.0 million, comparable to last year’s third quarter on a reported, constant currency, and organic basis.

Other

• During the third quarter, the Company repurchased $339.1 million of common stock, approximately 4.9 million shares, at an average share price of $69.16. Following the Board’s approval of an expansion of the share repurchase authorization from $2 billion to $3 billion, approximately $1.5 billion remains available under the program.
• The Company recognized a $307.2 million discrete tax benefit following the favorable completion of the related tax authority’s (HMRC) examination of its fiscal 2021 transfer of intellectual property and related assets to the United Kingdom. The benefit was the primary driver of the lower GAAP effective tax rate for the quarter.

Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Guidance

The Company updated its fiscal year 2026 financial guidance. Details are summarized as follows:

• Fiscal fourth quarter 2026 total revenue of $1.057 – $1.080 billion (organic growth of 0% to 2%)
  • CVI revenue of $692 -$706 million (organic growth of -2% to 0%)
  • CSI revenue of $364 – $374 million (organic growth of 4% to 6%)
• Fiscal fourth quarter 2026 non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.05 -$1.09
• Fiscal 2026 total revenue of $4.229 – $4.252 billion (organic growth of 2% to 3%)
  • CVI revenue of $2.828 – $2.842 billion (organic growth of 1% to 2%)
  • CSI revenue of $1.401 – $1.410 billion (organic growth of 4% to 5%)
• Fiscal 2026 non-GAAP diluted EPS of $4.51 – $4.55
• Reaffirm previously communicated long-term free cash flow objective exceeding $2.2 billion for fiscal years 2026 through 2028

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance excludes amortization and impairment of intangible assets, and certain income or gains and charges or expenses including acquisition and integration costs which we may incur as part of our continuing operations.

With respect to the Company’s guidance expectations, the Company has not reconciled non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance to GAAP diluted earnings per share due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting acquisition-related, integration and restructuring charges and expenses, which are reconciling items between the non-GAAP and GAAP measures. Due to the unknown effect, timing and potential significance of such charges and expenses that impact GAAP diluted earnings per share, the Company is not able to provide such guidance.

Reconciliation of Selected GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Results

To supplement our financial results and guidance presented on a GAAP basis, we provide non-GAAP measures such as non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, as well as constant currency and organic revenue growth because we believe they are helpful for the investors to understand our consolidated operating results. Management uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business, to make operating decisions, and to plan and forecast for future periods. The non-GAAP measures exclude costs which we generally would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented as a part of our continuing operations. We provide further details of the non-GAAP adjustments made to arrive at our non-GAAP measures in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations below. Our non-GAAP financial results and guidance are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

To present constant currency revenue growth, current period revenue for entities reporting in currencies other than the United States dollar are converted into United States dollars at the average foreign exchange rates for the corresponding period in the prior year. To present organic revenue growth, we excluded the effect of foreign currency fluctuations and the impact of any acquisitions, divestitures and discontinuations that occurred in the comparable period.

We define the non-GAAP measure of free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe free cash flow is useful for investors as an additional measure of liquidity because it represents cash that is available to grow the business, make strategic acquisitions, repay debt, or buyback common stock. Management uses free cash flow internally to understand, manage, make operating decisions and evaluate our business. In addition, we use free cash flow to help plan and forecast future periods.

Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacements for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

⁽⁶⁾ In fiscal 2021, the Company transferred its CooperVision intellectual property and related assets to its UK subsidiary. As a result, we recorded a deferred tax asset equal to approximately $2.0 billion as a one-time tax benefit in accordance with U.S. GAAP in fiscal 2021. The deferred tax asset was recorded net of a $307.2 million reserve for an uncertain tax position related to the valuation of the transferred assets.

Non-GAAP adjustments continue to reflect the recurring net deferred tax benefit associated with amortization of the transferred assets under UK tax law. In the 3^rd fiscal quarter 2026, non-GAAP adjustments also include the reversal of the $307.2 million uncertain tax position following completion of the related tax authority examination with no proposed adjustments.
