Consistency check: the SEC's comment, found

The SEC told CooperCompanies its earnings release footnotes didn't add up. Check finds the same four gaps from the release alone.

The footnote itemizes $5.5M and $3.8M against a $13.4M adjustment. Cooper's reply to the SEC supplied the missing $4.1M.

About this demo

CooperCompanies' Q3 2024 earnings release, checked against itself: totals, segments, the non-GAAP reconciliation, and whether each footnote adds up to its adjustment. The SEC's letter, Cooper's reply and its next release are included to compare.

How this demo was made

Real SEC filings and correspondence, unchanged. The four gaps are the ones the SEC's letter describes, in footnotes 1, 2, 4 and 7. Check found them from the release alone, and Cooper's own reply accounts for each missing amount. The footnotes say "Charges included", so they never claimed to be complete. The SEC asked for the components to be quantified, and Cooper agreed to make them sum. The checks use the nine-month column; the quarter and the prior-year columns have similar gaps. One check rests on an inference: the release does not reconcile non-GAAP interest expense, but the $1.4 million difference equals the accretion of interest in footnote 7. The assessments are Claude's, using CiteLLM Check. CiteLLM located every passage, read each figure (taking "in millions" from the table headings) and recomputed every total and difference. Whether two figures should match is the reviewer's call. PDF page 13 of the August release is a blank page added by printing. The review above is CiteLLM Check's own viewer, as it opens in ChatGPT and Claude.
