EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY
“We continued to deliver strong revenue and adjusted net income growth this quarter, based on our diverse portfolio of high-quality products and our continued discipline on costs and expenses,” said Zoetis Chief Executive Officer Juan Ramón Alaix. “We generated operational growth of 9% in revenue and 31% in adjusted net income, delivering adjusted diluted EPS of 50 cents per share. This quarter’s growth was largely due to the performance of our livestock business in the U.S., the integration of Abbott Animal Health products into our business, and the growth of recent product launches, led by APOQUEL."

“Despite some global economic challenges, the animal health industry remains resilient based on the strong fundamental drivers for improved protein production and healthier pets,” said Alaix. “Our growth strategies and resources are aligned against these drivers to expand our market leadership in the industry. The recently announced acquisition of PHARMAQ, a market-leading company in aquatic health, is an example of this growth strategy and will bring us another platform and pipeline to strengthen our core livestock business.”

“The financial highlights of the quarter were once again operational revenue growth across our portfolio and cost discipline that drove significant growth in adjusted net income,” said Zoetis Chief Financial Officer Paul Herendeen. “The productivity of our R&D engine and performance in the U.S. and key emerging markets like Brazil and China give us confidence in our future prospects. With this view, we are updating our guidance for full year 2015 and our outlook for full year 2016 and 2017, while managing the expected headwinds of foreign exchange.”

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS
Zoetis organizes and manages its business across two regional operating 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 2015:

Revenue in the U.S. segment was $632 million, an increase of 19% compared to the third quarter of 2014.  Sales of companion animal products grew 27%, led by the addition of Abbott Animal Health products and the performance of key brands including APOQUEL®, as well as REVOLUTION®, CERENIA®, PROHEART® and CONVENIA®. Sales of livestock products grew 13%, driven by sales of cattle and swine products, due primarily to the timing of seasonal buying patterns. Sales of poultry products declined slightly. 

Revenue in the International segment was $569 million, an increase of 2% on an operational basis compared to the third quarter of 2014. In companion animal, sales grew 7% operationally, primarily driven by sales of APOQUEL and the addition of Abbott products. Sales in Japan grew significantly due to the termination of a distributor agreement that

resulted in a product buyback in the prior year. Competitive pressures on REVOLUTION in certain key markets partially offset growth in companion animal products. In livestock, sales were flat operationally despite revenue growth in Brazil, Australia and China. Livestock growth in Brazil was driven by cattle due to favorable market conditions and recent product launches, as well as growth in poultry. In Australia, growth was driven by increased feedlot activity in the cattle market, while an improving pork market in China drove growth across the swine portfolio. This growth was offset by our business reduction in Venezuela and lower sales in France, which were compared to higher sales in the prior year related to changes in anti-infective legislation.

Zoetis continues to drive demand and strengthen its diverse portfolio of products through lifecycle developments, strong customer relationships and access to new markets and technologies. The company is focused on improving the performance and delivery of its current product lines; expanding product indications across species; pursuing approvals in new geographies; and developing innovative medicines, treatments and solutions for emerging diseases and unmet customer needs. Some recent highlights include:

Yesterday, Zoetis announced an agreement to purchase PHARMAQ, the global leader in vaccines and innovation for health products in aquaculture. Acquiring PHARMAQ, the market leader in vaccines for farmed fish, strengthens Zoetis’ core livestock business, giving the company an increased presence in the fastest growing segment of the animal health industry.

In the third quarter, Zoetis received a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP), recommending the granting of a marketing authorization for SIMPARICATM, a once-monthly chewable oral medication for the treatment of flea, tick and mange mite infestations in dogs beginning at age eight weeks. The active substance of SIMPARICA is sarolaner, a new ectoparasiticide belonging to the isoxazoline group.

Zoetis strengthened its commitment to innovation in China with the opening of a new research and development center near Beijing last week. The site will serve as home to a team of scientists who will initially focus on accelerating the development of quality vaccines tailored to the strains of illnesses that affect livestock in China. In addition, Zoetis opened a new global manufacturing and supply facility in Suzhou, China, replacing its original Suzhou manufacturing facility that opened in 1995. The site will house the manufacture of pre-mix and soluble powder medicines that will help keep farm animals healthy and set a strong foundation for future growth in China.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE
Zoetis is updating its financial guidance for full year 2015 to reflect its most recent expectations for the fourth quarter and recent changes in foreign exchange rates:

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, 2014, including in the sections thereof captioned Forward-Looking Information 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 and adjusted diluted earnings per share, to assess and analyze our operational 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 GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this press release and are posted on our website at www.zoetis.com.

(a)
Adjusted net income and its components and adjusted diluted EPS are defined as reported U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (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 selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, adjusted research and development (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 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.
(b)
Primarily includes certain nonrecurring costs related to restructuring and other charges for the operational efficiency initiative and supply network strategy, becoming an independent public company, such as new branding (including changes to the manufacturing process for required new packaging), the creation of standalone systems and infrastructure, site separation, and certain legal registration and patent assignment costs.

(a)
Beginning in the second quarter of 2015, we changed our segment reporting structure and recategorized certain costs that are not allocated to our operating segments. The prior period presentation has been revised to reflect the new segment reporting structure.
(b)
Other business activities reflect the research and development costs managed by our Research and Development organization as well as our contract manufacturing business.
(c)
Corporate includes, among other things, administration expenses, interest expense, certain compensation and other costs not charged to our operating segments.
(d)
Purchase accounting adjustments include certain charges related to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment not charged to our operating segments.
(e)
Acquisition-related costs can include costs associated with acquiring, integrating and restructuring newly acquired businesses, such as transaction costs, integration costs, restructuring charges and additional depreciation associated with asset restructuring.
(f)
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 certain costs related to becoming an independent public company, restructuring charges and implementation costs associated with our cost-reduction/productivity initiatives that are not associated with an acquisition, costs associated with the operational efficiency initiative, certain legal and commercial settlements, and the impact of divestiture-related gains and losses.
(g)
Includes overhead expenses associated with our manufacturing and supply operations not directly attributable to an operating segment, as well as procurement costs.
(h)
Defined as income before provision for taxes on income.
Certain amounts and percentages may reflect rounding adjustments.
