The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  sales -- grew 14 percent in the quarter. For the fiscal year, core revenue was up 15 percent -- 17 percent in constant currency -- about three times the estimated world market growth. CVI estimates that its market share grew about 1 point this year to 6.3 percent of the $2.9 billion worldwide contact lens market, approximately twice its 1997 share.

In the U.S., CVI's core revenue grew 10 percent in the fourth quarter and 10 percent for the fiscal year. Outside the U.S., core revenue grew 22 percent for the quarter. For the fiscal year, core revenue outside the U.S. increased 25 percent -- 30 percent in constant currency.

CVI's line of cosmetic lenses, Expressions(TM) in the United States and Frequency(R) Colors in overseas markets, continues to be well accepted by practitioners and patients. Production is now in place to meet anticipated demand around the world, which is expected to result in an annual run rate approaching $20 million by the end of 2002.

The cosmetic lens market -- opaque and color enhancing lenses that change the appearance of the eye's natural color -- is the second largest specialty lens market segment behind toric lenses. CVI estimates the worldwide revenue for all cosmetic lenses at about $250 million with the United States representing about 70 percent of the total. Disposable cosmetic lenses, the segment in which Frequency Colors and Expressions compete, generate about $150 million worldwide.

"An important target market for cosmetic lenses," said Bender, "is the large pool of current wearers of sphere lenses who could purchase several pairs of cosmetic lenses to enhance the appearance of their eyes and to complement their wardrobes."

Lens wearers who trade up to specialty products, either cosmetic or toric lenses, receive added visual benefits, and contact lens practitioners can build their practices by recommending them. CVI's line of cosmetic lenses are interchangeable in·ter·change·a·ble

"Recent market research," said Bender, "tells us that fewer than 15 percent of women -- 70 percent of the market -- are wearing disposable lenses to enhance the cosmetic beauty of their eyes. This represents a large, untapped opportunity."

New Product Update

CVI continues to address underserved market niches of the contact lens market around the world.

In the fourth quarter, CVI introduced Frequency Multifocal multifocal /mul·ti·fo·cal/ (mul?te-fo´k'l) arising from or pertaining to many foci.

Independent Market Research Data

Appendix 1 below summarizes third calendar quarter 2001 independent market research for the contact lens market compared with CVI's third calendar quarter and calendar 9-month performance. Commenting on these results Bender said: "Although new patient visits for contact lenses in the U.S. declined 3 percent year over year in the third calendar quarter, they improved over the second quarter. Through three calendar quarters, new visits grew 3 percent while total visits declined 2 percent.

"Although manufacturers' revenue for DPR sphere lenses declined from last year, toric lenses, especially the DPR brands, continued to grow. This is consistent with the market's ongoing trend away from commodity lenses toward specialty lenses.

"CVI revenue continues to grow significantly faster than the market, gaining 1 share point in the overall U.S. market and 2 share points in the U.S. toric market during the first nine calendar months of 2001."

CVI Cost of Sales

CVI's gross margin for the fourth quarter was 70 percent compared with 66 percent in the third quarter. This improvement was primarily due to a revenue mix shift to higher margin products and a reduction in manufacturing costs during this quarter compared with last quarter. For the full year, CVI gross margin was 69 percent.

For 2002, CVI expects gross margins in the range of 67 to 68 percent as distributors in Japan, France and Germany are expected to generate a higher percentage of CVI's total revenue. Operating margins Operating Margin

CSI, the Company's women's healthcare business, continued to execute successfully its strategy of consolidating the women's healthcare medical device market and supplying Ob/Gyns with products to support the widening range of disorders that they are now diagnosing and treating.

Operating margins reached 21 percent during the quarter, and are 17 percent for the fiscal year compared with 14 percent in 2000.
