On an operational2 basis, revenue for the second quarter of 2017 increased 6%, excluding the impact of foreign currency. Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2017 increased 11% operationally, excluding the impact of foreign currency.

EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY

“As in previous quarters, the consistency of our financial results is supported by the innovations we bring to the market and the diversity of our portfolio across geographies, species and therapeutic areas,” said Juan Ramón Alaix, Chief Executive Officer at Zoetis. “Zoetis was able to generate an 11% operational increase in adjusted net income on 6% operational growth in revenue in the second quarter. Our companion animal business remains the largest driver of our growth, supported by the continued adoption of products like Apoquel, Cytopoint and Simparica, while our livestock portfolio continues to grow based on the breadth of our solutions and global presence.”

“Based on recent foreign exchange rates and continued confidence in our performance for the year, we are improving our full year guidance for revenue and net income,” said Glenn David, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Zoetis. “We will continue to build on our foundation for sustainable long term growth, allocating cash and other resources to support new products, lifecycle innovation, market expansion and business development opportunities.”

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 livestock and companion animals tailored to local trends and customer needs. In the second quarter of 2017:

  • Revenue in the U.S. segment was $623 million, an increase of 5% compared with the second quarter of 2016. Sales of companion animal products grew 7%, driven by increased sales in our dermatology portfolio, in addition to several other new product launches. Growth was partially offset by lower sales of our pain products due to competition and timing of promotional campaigns. Sales of livestock products grew 3% driven primarily by increased sales of cattle and poultry products. Growth was partially offset by lower sales of swine products. In addition, certain medicated feed additive products for cattle and swine were negatively impacted by livestock producers’ implementation of the Veterinary Feed Directive.
  • Revenue in the International segment was $634 million, an increase of 5% on a reported basis and 7% operationally compared with the second quarter of 2016. Sales of companion animal products grew 12% on a reported basis and 15% operationally, resulting primarily from increased sales of Apoquel®, in addition to new product launches, primarily Simparica®. Sales of livestock products grew 2% on a reported basis and 3% on an operational basis, driven primarily by increased sales of cattle and swine products. In cattle, growth was due to higher sales in Brazil and other Latin American markets, with increased demand in Brazil as a result of field force expansion, while swine was driven by growth in China. Growth was partially offset by product rationalizations as a result of our operational efficiency initiative.

Zoetis continues to drive demand and strengthen its diverse portfolio through the introduction of new products, lifecycle innovations, business development initiatives, strong customer relationships and entry into new markets and technologies. In the second quarter of 2017:

  • In a prime example of lifecycle innovation to keep brand product franchises delivering value to customers, Zoetis received approval in May from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the company’s Clavamox ® Chewable (amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium tablets) for use in dogs. This leading anti-infective, first approved in the U.S. in 1984, provides a broad spectrum of treatment for skin infections in dogs and cats, periodontal infections in dogs and urinary tract infections in cats. Clavamox Chewables join the original tablet and liquid drop formulations, which Zoetis will continue to market.
  • Zoetis continued to extend its dermatology portfolio to new markets with approvals of Apoquel (oclacitinib tablet) in Vietnam and Cytopoint ® (lokivetmab) in New Zealand. Apoquel, first approved in 2013, is indicated for the control of pruritus (itching) associated with allergic dermatitis and control of atopic dermatitis in dogs at least 12 months of age. Monoclonal antibody therapy Cytopoint, fully licensed in the United States in 2016 and in Europe and Canada earlier this year, aids in the reduction of clinical signs associated with atopic dermatitis in dogs. The company also continued expanding the availability of its oral flea and tick medication Simparica (sarolaner) Chewables with an approval in Peru. Simparica received its first approval in 2015. It delivers fast and persistent protection from fleas and ticks in dogs, with effectiveness that lasts for a full 35 days, without losing efficacy at the end of the month.
  • On July 31, Zoetis completed the acquisition of Nexvet Biopharma plc, an innovator in monoclonal antibody therapies for companion animals in management of chronic pain and other therapeutic areas. The acquisition strengthens Zoetis’ R&D pipeline in monoclonal antibodies and helps sustain the company’s leadership in chronic pain management for companion animals, an area poised for innovation with new monoclonal antibody therapies.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Zoetis updated its guidance for the full year 2017, which includes:

  • Revenue between $5.150 billion to $5.250 billion
  • Reported diluted EPS between $2.12 to $2.21 per share

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.

Reconciliations of 2017 reported guidance to 2017 adjusted guidance follows:

(millions of dollars, except per share amounts)   Reported  

Certain significant
items(d) and
acquisition-related
costs

 

Purchase
accounting

  Adjusted(b)
       
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue   ~ 33.5%   (0.5%)       ~ 33%
SG&A expenses   $1,295 to $1,335   ($5)   ($5)   $1,285 to $1,325
R&D expenses   $365 to $385           $365 to $385
Interest expense and other (income)/deductions   ~ $160           ~ $160
EBIT margin   32% to 33%   0.5% to 1%   1.5%   34% to 35%
Effective tax rate   ~ 29%   (0.5%)   0.5%   ~ 29%
Diluted EPS   $2.12 to $2.21   $0.03 to $0.05   $0.13   $2.30 to $2.37
Net income attributable to Zoetis   $1,050 to $1,095   $15 to $25   $65   $1,140 to $1,175
(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, adjusted interest expense, and adjusted other (income)/deductions are income statement line items prepared on the same basis, and, therefore, components of the overall adjusted income measure. Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) is defined as reported EBIT excluding purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related costs and certain significant items. Despite the importance of these measures to management in goal setting and performance measurement, adjusted net income and its components and adjusted diluted earnings per share (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 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 GAAP reported results for the guidance period.
(d) Primarily includes certain nonrecurring costs related to restructuring, net gains/losses on sales of assets, and other charges for the operational efficiency initiative and supply network strategy.
