During today’s presentations, Chief Executive Officer Kristin

& Development Robert Polzer, Ph.D., and other members of the
Zoetis executive team will outline the company’s plans to deliver
on its ambitions by:

Franchises Fueling Future Growth Zoetis sees long-term
sustainable growth driven by new products and lifecycle innovations
for companion animals and livestock. The executive team will
discuss its strategy for expanding its current billion-dollar
franchises in dermatology and pet parasiticides, and new
expectations for its osteoarthritis pain franchise to reach more
than $1 billion in peak sales. Zoetis will also provide an update
on its R&D pipeline and future growth opportunities in new
therapies for renal disease, cardiology and oncology, as well as
its livestock and diagnostics portfolios.
“Our growth and value creation is rooted in the right strategy,
a diverse portfolio, our leadership in innovation, and global
capabilities that allow us to capitalize on the opportunities we
see in an attractive Animal Health market,” said Kristin Peck,
Chief Executive Officer of Zoetis. “We pride ourselves on shaping
animal health and creating new markets based on game-changing
innovations. Based on our track record and talented colleagues, we
are confident in our ability to broaden our existing billion-dollar
franchises, while innovating and building new ones through
continued investments in R&D, supply chain and commercial
excellence,” said Peck.
New Ambitions for Value Creation Zoetis will also
introduce new ambitions for the four tenets of its long-standing
value proposition over the next 3-5 years, including:
- Growing annual revenue mid-to-high single digits,1 driven by
key franchises.
- Driving ROIC (Return On Invested Capital) accretion1 by
focusing on critical investment priorities.
- Enabling margin improvement1 through revenue growth in more
profitable product categories and greater leverage of its global
scale.
- And maintaining balance between investments and return of
capital with a disciplined capital allocation strategy.
“Our ability to identify and invest in the most promising
product categories have enabled us to grow faster than the market
while delivering compelling value to our shareholders for the past
decade. Zoetis has the right fundamentals and promising pipeline
opportunities to build on this track record and continue to grow
revenue at an attractive pace over the medium to long term, while
driving margin expansion,” said Wetteny Joseph, Chief Financial
Officer of Zoetis.
