  • The company reported a net impact of $35 million for purchase accounting adjustments and acquisition-related costs for the first quarter of 2024.

Insights

Zoetis' first quarter 2024 financial results highlight a robust performance, particularly in the companion animal segment, which saw a 20% operational revenue growth influenced by strong sales in pet parasiticides, pain management and dermatology products. This exceptional growth in the U.S. market, pegged at 16%, suggests a concentrated demand in higher-margin segments which is a promising sign for investor confidence.

However, the livestock segment's decline of 7% in the U.S. and mixed international results—growth in cattle and poultry but decline in sheep and swine products—point to a more volatile market that may reflect broader agricultural trends and market competition pressures. While the operational growth figures are impressive, the reported net income and EPS growth are modest, which might indicate rising operational costs or other financial adjustments impacting the bottom line.

The update in 2024 revenue guidance, including an operational growth of 8.5% to 10.5% and the projected growth in adjusted net income of 13% to 15%, are indicative of strong company performance despite potential challenges in the global economy. Particularly notable is the increase in guidance reflecting both inflation-related price adjustments in Argentina and robust companion animal sales.

Zoetis' strategic investments, such as the acquisition of a manufacturing site in Melbourne and the expansion of the distribution center in Lee's Summit, point to a long-term focus on supply chain efficiency and market share consolidation. The sale of the MFA portfolio may also exemplify a strategic re-focusing of resources towards more lucrative areas in the animal health sector. As a retail investor, it is essential to consider the balance between the company's operational growth and potential market volatilities in the livestock segment.

From a market perspective, Zoetis' emphasis on the companion animal products is aligned with a noticeable trend of increased pet ownership and the humanization of pets, which has likely contributed to the growth in this segment. The operational growth in this area, particularly in the U.S., is a testament to how well Zoetis is capitalizing on this trend. On the contrary, the livestock product decline may reflect a shorter-term cyclical downturn but could also signal long-term shifts in consumption patterns or competition from generic alternatives.

The company's innovative product pipeline and recent product approvals, such as Protivity in the U.K. and synthetics like Synovex Choice, serve to fortify its market position. The external focus on innovative solutions like Revolution Plus for cats, which defends against four types of ticks, could enhance its competitive edge in the international market where pet owners are becoming increasingly aware of animal healthcare.

For investors, the company's geographic diversification and investment in innovation are likely positive signs. However, it will be essential to monitor how Zoetis navigates the global economic challenges, such as inflation and currency fluctuations, which have prompted updates to their revenue guidance. Also, the sell-off of the MFA portfolio, while streamlining operations, suggests a strategic pivot which investors should watch closely for its impact on revenue streams moving forward.

EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY
“I am incredibly proud of our outstanding first quarter, once again proving our ability to grow revenue faster than the market. It is a testament to the strength of our diverse portfolio and our dedicated colleagues," said Kristin Peck, Chief Executive Officer of Zoetis. “We achieved 16% revenue growth in the U.S. and 8% operational revenue growth internationally, and our companion animal portfolio grew an impressive 20% operationally, fueled by our innovative franchises in pet parasiticides, osteoarthritis pain and dermatology. Our scientific breakthroughs have firmly established us as trusted and preferred partners to our customers, and we will continue to invest in the talent, pipeline and capabilities that will support future growth."

“As the leader in animal health, we understand our customers' needs. Our innovation continues to be our differentiator, and we'll continue to lead the way by investing in areas of unmet need to advance care for animals. The strength of the human-animal bond and the growing demand for a secure and sustainable food supply reinforce the essential nature of the animal health industry and our innovative portfolio. We will continue to deliver strong growth in 2024, while investing for the future."

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 first quarter of 2024:

  • Revenue in the U.S. segment was $1.2 billion, an increase of 16% compared with the first quarter of 2023. Sales of companion animal products increased 25%, due to growth in key franchises including Simparica Trio®, the company's flea, tick and heartworm combination product, the company's key dermatology portfolio, including Apoquel® and Cytopoint®, and the company's osteoarthritis (OA) pain products, Librela® for dogs and Solensia® for cats. Growth in the quarter was also due in part to a favorable comparative period in the prior year that was negatively impacted by distributor de-stocking and timing of promotional activity. Sales of livestock products declined 7% in the quarter. Sales of cattle products declined due to a difficult comparable period versus the same quarter last year.
  • Revenue in the International segment was $1.0 billion, reflecting a 3% increase on a reported basis and an increase of 8% operationally compared with the first quarter of 2023. Sales of companion animal products grew 10% on a reported basis and 14% operationally. Growth in the quarter was driven by the company’s OA pain products, Librela for dogs and Solensia for cats, as well as its key dermatology products, Apoquel and Cytopoint. Also contributing to growth in the quarter was Simparica Trio. Sales of livestock products declined 4% on a reported basis and grew 2% operationally. Growth of both the company's cattle and poultry products were driven largely by price increases across the broader international segment. Sales of sheep products declined due to unexpected weather conditions and supply constraints in Australia. Sales of swine products decreased primarily due to unfavorable market conditions in China and generic competition.

INVESTMENTS IN GROWTH
Zoetis continues to advance innovation and care for animals across the globe. Since its last quarterly earnings announcement, the company gained approval in Brazil for Valcor (doramectin and levamisole injection), a prescription endectocide for the treatment and control of internal and external parasites in cattle. Protivity®, the first modified-live bacterial vaccine to offer protection against Mycoplasma bovis in healthy cattle, was approved in the U.K. In the U.S., Bonqat®3 (pregabalin oral solution) is now available to treat the alleviation of acute anxiety and fear associated with transportation and veterinary visits in cats, helping them have a fear-free visit.

Zoetis also continues to grow key product franchises through additional claim extensions in major markets. Synovex Choice® was approved for an additional claim in the U.S., to increase rate of weight gain in growing beef steers and heifers in the dry lot production phase. Also approved in the U.S., is a new implant, Synovex® Primer, that will be available for the dry lot market later in 2024. Excenel® RTU EZ (ceftiofur hydrochloride), received approval in Japan for new claims related to the treatment of cattle foot rot and puerperal fever (metritis). In companion animal, Revolution® Plus (selamectin/sarolaner), a topical combination product that treats ticks, fleas, ear mites, lice and gastrointestinal worms and prevents heartworm disease in cats, received approval in Canada for an additional claim related to the treatment and control of lone star tick infestations, making it the only parasiticide for cats on the market to defend against four types of ticks.

Additionally, the company recently signed an agreement to purchase a manufacturing site in Melbourne, Australia, that includes a currently leased site as well as additional space for expansion. The facility will be used to develop and manufacture vaccines for sheep, cattle, dogs, cats and horses and help ensure a long-term supply of products for Australia. In the U.S., Zoetis expanded its distribution center in Lee's Summit, Mo., making it the company's largest center as well as a hub for other distribution centers in the U.S., enhancing the company's capacity to distribute its key product franchises. On April 28, 2024, Zoetis signed a deal to sell its medicated feed additive (MFA) portfolio and related assets, to focus its investments on other livestock solutions, including vaccine, biologic and genetic programs.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE
Zoetis is updating its full year reported 2024 guidance for foreign exchange, with an increase to operational growth due to inflation-related price increases in Argentina and the underlying strength in companion animal.

  • Revenue between $9.050 billion to $9.200 billion (operational growth of 8.5% to 10.5%)
  • Reported net income between $2.450 billion to $2.495 billion
  • Adjusted net income between $2.620 billion to $2.670 billion (operational growth of 13% to 15%)
  • Reported diluted EPS of $5.34 to $5.44
  • Adjusted diluted EPS between $5.71 to $5.81

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

(b) Non-GAAP adjusted net income and its components and non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for U.S. GAAP net income and its components and diluted EPS. Despite the importance of these measures to management in goal setting and performance measurement, non-GAAP adjusted net income and its components and non-GAAP 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, 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.

(a) Operational results (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 results 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.
