EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY

“In 2019, Zoetis delivered another year of strong growth and market leadership thanks to our diverse and durable portfolio and commitment to continuous innovation,” said Kristin Peck, Chief Executive Officer of Zoetis. “We grew revenue 10% operationally, which is once again above market growth in a competitive, global sector. We also grew our adjusted net income faster than revenue, at 14% operationally, continuing to achieve our goal of growing profitability faster than revenue over the long term.”

“Looking ahead in 2020, we are excited about the launch of Simparica® Trio, our new triple combination parasiticide for dogs, and we will be heavily focused on bringing this key innovation to customers around the world,” said Peck. “Additionally, we will continue to advance our pipeline with innovations in parasiticides, monoclonal antibodies and vaccines; support our latest product launches and lifecycle innovations across the portfolio; and invest in newer growth areas for us such as diagnostics, digital and data analytics. For full year 2020, we expect operational growth of 7% to 9.5% in revenue and 8% to 11% in adjusted net income. As the new CEO of Zoetis, I look forward to carrying on the company’s successful formula of customer focus, innovation and execution, as we continue to deliver on our long-term value proposition to shareholders.”

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS

Zoetis organizes and manages its commercial operations across two regional segments: the United States (U.S.) and International. Within these segments, the company delivers a diverse portfolio of products for companion animals and livestock tailored to local trends and customer needs. In the fourth quarter of 2019:

  • Revenue in the U.S. segment was $861 million, an increase of 6% compared with the fourth quarter of 2018. Sales of companion animal products increased 15% driven primarily by growth in our key dermatology portfolio across both the Apoquel® and Cytopoint® brands. Additionally, companion animal sales benefited from the recent acquisition of Platinum Performance and its nutritional product formulas. Increased sales of parasiticides, including ProHeart® 12 and Simparica®, also significantly contributed to growth in the quarter. Sales of livestock products declined 3% in the quarter. This decline was the result of continued weakness in both the beef and dairy cattle sectors which more than offset double digit growth in poultry and swine. Growth in poultry was driven primarily by increased sales of Zoamix®, an alternative to antibiotics in medicated feed additives, while growth in swine was the result of increased sales of medicated feed additives and vaccines.
  • Revenue in the International segment was $791 million, an increase of 9% on a reported basis and an increase of 12% operationally compared with the fourth quarter of 2018. Sales of companion animal products grew 23% on a reported basis and 26% on an operational basis. Growth resulted primarily from increased sales across our key dermatology portfolio and in certain parasiticides, including Simparica and the Revolution®/Stronghold® franchise, as well as growth across key markets in Western Europe and in China. New diagnostics accounts in the UK and emerging markets also contributed to growth. Sales of livestock products grew 2% on a reported basis and 5% operationally. Growth in our cattle portfolio was driven by favorable conditions in key markets, including Australia, Germany and Mexico, as well as other smaller developed markets. Alpha Flux®, a recently launched parasiticide that controls sea lice in salmon, was the primary driver of growth in fish, while promotional activities across Russia, India and Brazil drove growth in poultry. Sales of swine products declined as a result of the ongoing impact of African Swine Fever in China and other smaller markets in Southeast Asia.

INVESTMENTS IN GROWTH

Zoetis diversifies and grows its business through the introduction of new products, lifecycle innovations, business development initiatives, and entries into new markets and technologies. The company is increasingly focused on developing integrated solutions for pet owners, veterinarians and farmers that span the continuum of animal care - helping to predict, prevent, detect and treat diseases.

Since our last quarterly earnings announcement, Zoetis has continued to expand its reference laboratory capabilities in the U.S. with the acquisitions of Phoenix Lab and ZNLabs in November 2019 and Ethos Diagnostic Science this month. This builds on the company’s strategy to develop a more comprehensive diagnostics offering with enhanced value for veterinarians.

Zoetis also received approval for Rimadyl® (carprofen) for dogs in China, one of the fastest growing companion animal markets in the world. This product, approved in both chewable and injectable formulations, is indicated for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis (chewables), and for the control of postoperative pain associated with soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries (injectable). It was first approved in the UK in 1993, and is an example of the product durability and longevity generated by the company’s focus on lifecycle innovation and geographic expansion.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Zoetis is providing full year 2020 guidance, which includes:

  • Revenue between $6.650 billion to $6.800 billion
  • Reported diluted EPS between $3.53 to $3.65
  • Adjusted diluted EPS between $3.90 to $4.00

This guidance reflects foreign exchange rates as of late January. Additional details on guidance are included in the financial tables and will be discussed on the company's conference call this morning.

WEBCAST & CONFERENCE CALL DETAILS

Zoetis will host a webcast and conference call at 8:30 a.m. (ET) today, during which company executives will review fourth quarter and full year 2019 results, discuss financial guidance and respond to questions from financial analysts. Investors and the public may access the live webcast by visiting the Zoetis website at http://investor.zoetis.com/events-presentations. A replay of the webcast will be archived and made available on Feb. 13, 2020.

DISCLOSURE NOTICES

Forward-Looking Statements: This press release contains forward-looking statements, which reflect the current views of Zoetis with respect to business plans or prospects, future operating or financial performance, future guidance, future operating models, expectations regarding products, product approvals or products under development, expected timing of product launches, expectations regarding the performance of acquired companies and our ability to integrate new businesses, expectations regarding the financial impact of acquisitions, future use of cash and dividend payments, tax rate and tax regimes, changes in the tax regimes and laws in other jurisdictions, and other future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance or actions. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if management's underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by a forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Zoetis expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. A further list and description of risks, uncertainties and other matters can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, including in the sections thereof captioned “Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results” and “Item 1A.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: We use non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and operational results (which exclude the impact of foreign exchange), to assess and analyze our results and trends and to make financial and operational decisions. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors because they provide greater transparency regarding our operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release should not be considered alternatives to measurements required by GAAP, such as net income, operating income, and earnings per share, and should not be considered measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures are unlikely to be comparable with non-GAAP information provided by other companies. Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this press release and are posted on our website at www.zoetis.com.

Because of the non- standardized definitions, non-GAAP adjusted net income and its components and non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS (unlike U.S. GAAP net income and its components and diluted EPS) may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. Non-GAAP adjusted net income and its components, and non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance.

The corresponding U.S. GAAP line items and reconciliations of reported to adjusted information are provided in Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Reconciliation of GAAP Reported to Non-GAAP Adjusted Information.

(a)

Operational growth (a non-GAAP financial measure) excludes the impact of foreign exchange.

(b)

Adjusted net income and its components and adjusted diluted EPS are defined as reported U.S. GAAP net income and its components and reported diluted EPS excluding purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related costs and certain significant items. Adjusted cost of sales, adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted R&D expenses, and adjusted interest expense and other (income)/deductions are income statement line items prepared on the same basis, and, therefore, components of the overall adjusted income measure. Despite the importance of these measures to management in goal setting and performance measurement, adjusted net income and its components and adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. Because of the non-standardized definitions, adjusted net income and its components and adjusted diluted EPS (unlike U.S. GAAP net income and its components and diluted EPS) may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. Adjusted net income and its components and adjusted diluted EPS are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance. Adjusted net income and its components and adjusted diluted EPS are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for U.S. GAAP net income and its components and diluted EPS.

(c)

We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted net income operational growth to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP reported financial measure because we are unable to calculate with reasonable certainty the foreign exchange impact of unusual gains and losses, acquisition-related expenses, potential future asset impairments and other certain significant items, without unreasonable effort. The foreign exchange impacts of these items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance period.

(d)

Primarily includes certain nonrecurring costs related to acquisitions and other charges.
