Zoetis Inc. (NYSE: ZTS) today reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2021 and increased its guidance for full year 2021.

The company reported revenue of $2.0 billion for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of 11% compared with the third quarter of 2020. Net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $552 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, an increase of 15% and 16%, respectively, on a reported basis.

Adjusted net income1 for the third quarter of 2021 was $597 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, both increasing 14% on a reported basis. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2021 excludes the net impact of $45 million for purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related costs and certain significant items.

On an operational2 basis, revenue for the third quarter of 2021 increased 10%, excluding the impact of foreign currency. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2021 increased 10% operationally, excluding the impact of foreign currency.

EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY

“We delivered strong results again this quarter with 10% operational growth for both revenue and adjusted net income, driven by our innovative portfolio of petcare parasiticides, including Simparica Trio®, as well as dermatology products,” said Kristin Peck, Chief Executive Officer of Zoetis. “Additionally, the first full-quarter sales of Librela® and Solensia®, our new monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies for osteoarthritis (OA) pain in dogs and cats, exceeded our expectations, with both products receiving very positive feedback in the markets where they were launched."

“We remain on track for a record-setting year, with updated guidance for operational revenue growth in the range of 14% to 14.5% and adjusted net income in the range of 16.5% to 18% for 2021. We see positive market trends, especially in petcare, continuing into 2022, and we will continue to invest in the innovations and digital solutions that are needed by our customers across the continuum of care,” said Peck.

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS

Zoetis organizes and manages its commercial operations across two segments: 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 third quarter of 2021:

  • Revenue in the U.S. segment was $1.065 billion, an increase of 7% compared with the third quarter of 2020. Growth was impacted by unfavorable comparisons to the third quarter of 2020, which benefited from a rapid market recovery related to COVID-19 disruptions earlier that year. Sales of companion animal products increased 17%, driven by growth across the parasiticides portfolio, including Simparica Trio for dogs. The company’s key dermatology portfolio also significantly contributed to growth across both the Apoquel® and Cytopoint® brands. Sales of livestock products declined 13% in the quarter, driven by a decrease in cattle product sales as a result of generic competition, an early fall cattle run that favorably impacted the third quarter of 2020, and continued weakness in cattle and dairy markets. Sales of poultry products declined due to the expanded use of lower cost alternatives and generic competition. Sales of swine products declined due to pricing pressure on anti-infectives and vaccines.
  • Revenue in the International segment was $904 million, an increase of 18% on a reported basis and an increase of 14% operationally compared with the third quarter of 2020. Sales of companion animal products increased 29% on a reported basis and 24% operationally. Growth resulted from increased sales of key dermatology products across both the Apoquel and Cytopoint brands. The company’s parasiticides portfolio, including the Simparica® and Revolution®/Stronghold® franchises, also contributed to growth, as well as the first full quarter of sales of Librela and Solensia, the recently launched monoclonal antibody products for osteoarthritis pain. Sales of the broader in-line portfolio, which benefited from increased pet ownership and standards of care, also grew. Sales of livestock products grew 9% on a reported basis and 7% operationally. Sales of cattle products grew due to key account penetration, favorable export market conditions in Brazil, and favorable market conditions in other emerging markets. Growth in the fish portfolio resulted primarily from increased sales of the Alpha Flux® sea lice treatment product and the Alpha Ject LiVac® SRS vaccine in Chile. Sales of both swine and poultry products grew as a result of key account growth and market expansion across parts of Asia, Brazil and Russia.

INVESTMENTS IN GROWTH

Zoetis continues to enhance its key dermatology portfolio with market expansions and lifecycle innovations. Since its last quarterly earnings announcement, the company received approval in China for Cytopoint (lokivetmab), an injectable monoclonal antibody therapy for atopic dermatitis in dogs. Zoetis also received a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) for a new chewable version of Apoquel,the company’s industry-leading Janus kinase inhibitor which was first introduced in 2013. Upon amendment of the marketing authorization in the European Union (EU), Apoquel chewable tablets will provide veterinarians with a new palatable treatment option for dogs suffering from pruritus associated with allergic dermatitis and clinical manifestations of atopic dermatitis. In other petcare product market expansions, Zoetis received approval in Brazil for Vanguard® I-III (known as Vanguard Intranasal Rapid RESP 3 in other markets). This vaccine helps protect dogs from key pathogens associated with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease (CIRD), including Bordetella bronchiseptica (Bb), canine parainfluenza virus (CPiV) and canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2).

In diagnostics, the company recently added digital cytology testing to its Vetscan Imagyst™ platform in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. With the launch of digital cytology, Vetscan Imagyst now offers a network of expert remote pathologists in addition to Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology for fecal testing. As Zoetis continues to develop additional innovative applications for Vetscan Imagyst, it plans to seamlessly integrate even more new capabilities into the platform, helping veterinarians provide the best possible care for dogs and cats.

On the livestock side of the business, Zoetis enhanced its aquaculture portfolio with the approval of Alpha Ject Micro® 2000 in the EU. This new micro-dose vaccine has been optimized for use in sea bass to provide robust protection against classical vibriosis and pasteurellosis, two common bacterial infections.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Zoetis is increasing its full year 2021 guidance, which includes:

  • Revenue between $7.700 billion and $7.750 billion
  • Reported diluted EPS between $4.23 and $4.29
  • Adjusted diluted EPS between $4.62 and $4.67

This guidance reflects foreign exchange rates as of mid-October. 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 third quarter 2021 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.

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, 2020, 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.

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 most directly comparable 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.

Adjusted cost of sales, adjusted selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses, adjusted research and development (R&D) expenses, and adjusted net income (non-GAAP financial measures) are defined as the corresponding reported U.S. GAAP income statement line items excluding purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related costs, and certain significant items. These adjusted income statement line item measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for the corresponding U.S. GAAP line items. The corresponding 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.

(b)

Operational growth (a non-GAAP financial measure) is defined as growth excluding the impact of foreign exchange.

(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-net 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.

For a description of each segment, see Zoetis' most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(b)

Operational growth (a non-GAAP financial measure) is defined as growth excluding the impact of foreign exchange.

(c)

Other business activities reflect the research and development costs managed by our Research and Development organization as well as our contract manufacturing business and human health business.

(d)

Corporate includes, among other things, certain costs associated with information technology, administration expenses, interest expense, certain compensation costs, certain procurement costs, and other costs not charged to our operating segments.

(e)

Purchase accounting adjustments include certain charges related to the amortization of fair value adjustments to inventory, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment not charged to our operating segments.

(f)

Acquisition-related costs include costs associated with acquiring and integrating newly acquired businesses, such as transaction costs and integration costs.

(g)

Certain significant items includes substantive, unusual items that, either as a result of their nature or size, would not be expected to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis. Such items primarily include restructuring charges and implementation costs associated with a shift in our organizational structure and cost-reduction/productivity initiatives that are not associated with an acquisition, certain asset impairment charges, costs associated with the operational efficiency initiative and supply network strategy, and the impact of divestiture-related gains and losses.

(h)

Includes overhead expenses associated with our manufacturing and supply operations not directly attributable to an operating segment, as well as certain procurement costs.

(i)

Defined as income before provision for taxes on income.
