Financial Review
COOPER STOCK PERFORMANCE
The following graph compares the total shareholder return on Cooper’s
Class A common shares for the five-year period December 31, 2001
through December 31, 2006 to the total returns for the same period
of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index and a Cooper Peer Group
Index. The cumulative total return is based upon an initial investment
of $100 on December 31, 2001 with dividends reinvested.
We currently operate in two primary business areas: Electrical Products
and Tools. The 15 companies in the Cooper Peer Group Index were
selected based on their presence in similar markets affected by similar economic and market trends to Cooper, their recognition by the
investment community as Cooper peers and the comparability of their
market capitalization to Cooper’s market capitalization. The members
of the Cooper Peer Group Index are: Acuity Brands, Inc.; Danaher
Corporation; Dover Corp.; Eaton Corp.; Emerson Electric Co.; Hubbell
Incorporated (Class B); Illinois Tool Works; Ingersoll-Rand Co. Ltd.;
Newell Rubbermaid Inc.; Parker-Hannifin Corp.; Pentair Inc.; Snap-On
Inc.; SPX Corp.; The Stanley Works; and Thomas & Betts Corporation.
The Cooper Peer Group Index has been weighted in accordance with
each corporation’s market capitalization (closing stock price multiplied by the number of shares outstanding) as of the beginning of
each of the five years covered by the performance graph. The weighted
return for each year is the sum of the products obtained by multiplying
(a) the percentage that each corporation’s market capitalization represents of the total market capitalization for all corporations in the Index
for such year by (b) the total shareholder return for that corporation
for such year.
