Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS) today reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2017 and raised its full year guidance for revenue and net income.

The company reported revenue of $1.3 billion for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of 9% compared with the third quarter of 2016. Net income for the third quarter of 2017 was $298 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, an increase of 25% and 27%, respectively, on a reported basis.

Adjusted net income1 for the third quarter of 2017 was $322 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, an increase of 25%, on a reported basis. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2017 excludes the net impact of $24 million for purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related costs and certain significant items.

On an operational2 basis, revenue for the third quarter of 2017 increased 8%, excluding the impact of foreign currency. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2017 increased 25% operationally, excluding the impact of foreign currency.

EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY

“In the third quarter, we delivered strong operational revenue and adjusted earnings growth of 8% and 25%, respectively,” said Juan Ramón Alaix, Chief Executive Officer at Zoetis. “Our companion animal portfolio grew 19% operationally, led by our industry leading dermatology products and increased adoption of our oral parasiticide, Simparica. On the livestock side of our business, we grew 2% operationally, with growth in our fish and poultry products that support the world’s fastest growing sources of protein. This growth in livestock was offset primarily by lower sales in cattle and swine products in the U.S., due to lower disease incidence and shifts in treatment protocols related to the Veterinary Feed Directive implementation.”

“As expected, in the third quarter, our focus on cost of goods and expenses enabled us to improve our margins and grow adjusted earnings significantly faster than sales,” said Glenn David, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Zoetis. “With one quarter left in 2017, we are raising our full year guidance for revenue and net income, and we expect to continue delivering steady, profitable growth based on the performance of our diverse portfolio and investments in innovation.”

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 third quarter of 2017:

  • Revenue in the U.S. segment was $680 million, an increase of 6% compared with the third quarter of 2016. Sales of companion animal products grew 21%, driven by increased sales in our dermatology portfolio, in addition to several other new products, primarily Simparica® (sarolaner), our oral parasiticide. Sales of livestock products declined 6% driven primarily by decreased sales of cattle products due to the impact of promotional activities in the prior year and continued lower disease risk and incidence in the feedlot sector. In addition, certain medicated feed additive products for cattle and swine were negatively impacted by livestock producers’ continued implementation of the Veterinary Feed Directive. The decline in cattle and swine products was partially offset by increased sales of poultry medicated feed additive products.
  • Revenue in the International segment was $654 million, an increase of 12% on a reported basis and 11% operationally compared with the third quarter of 2016. Sales of companion animal products grew 15% on both a reported and operational basis, resulting primarily from increased sales of Simparica and Apoquel® (oclacitinib tablet). Sales also benefited from growth in companion animal vaccines in China. Sales of livestock products grew 10% on a reported basis and 9% on an operational basis, driven by increased sales of fish products and balanced growth across other species. Fish product sales grew due to a new product in Norway, as well as in-line product growth across various markets, including Chile. Cattle product growth reflects favorable performance in Brazil, Argentina and Australia, and swine growth was driven by new products across Europe and Asia.

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 third quarter of 2017, Zoetis received approvals for new indications and formulations and expanded major product lines into new geographies.

  • In August 2017, the European Commission granted Zoetis approval for Suvaxyn® PRRS MLV, a new addition to the Suvaxyn/Fostera® family of vaccines for swine. This modified live vaccine helps protect pigs against porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome, one of the most common diseases affecting swine herds.
  • Also in August, Zoetis extended the breadth and reach of its poultry portfolio with the approval in Korea of Poulvac® Maternavac IBD-REO for the revaccination of chickens to help prevent locally prevalent strains of infectious bursal disease and avian reovirus. The company also brought its poultry diagnostics products ProFlok® and FluDetect® into major European markets in July. The point-of-care diagnostic kits deliver accurate, fast and clear results facilitating timely and informed diagnoses for a range of diseases.
  • Zoetis also gained new approvals for its oral flea and tick medication Simparica during September 2017 in Japan and Taiwan. Simparica 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.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

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

  • Revenue between $5.225 billion to $5.275 billion
  • Reported diluted EPS between $2.16 to $2.23 per share
  • Adjusted diluted EPS between $2.34 to $2.39 per share

This guidance reflects foreign exchange rates as of late October. Additional guidance on other items such as expenses and tax rate is included in the financial tables and will be discussed on the company's conference call this morning.

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.
