Zoetis announces third quarter 2020 results
Parsippany, n.j.--(business wire)--zoetis inc. (nyse: zts) today reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2020 and increased its guidance for full year 2020. the company reported revenue of $1.8 billion for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 13% compared with the third quarter of 2019. net income for the third quarter of 2020 was $479 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, both increasing 11% on a reported basis. adjusted net income1 for the third quarter of 2020 was $524 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, an increase of 15%, on a reported basis. adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2020 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 2020 increased 15%, excluding the impact of foreign currency. adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2020 increased 20% operationally, excluding the impact of foreign currency. executive commentary “thanks to the resilience of our customers and the commitment of our colleagues during this ongoing pandemic, we generated better than expected results in the third quarter, with 15% operational growth in revenue and 20% operational growth in adjusted net income,” said kristin peck, chief executive officer of zoetis. “our diverse and innovative portfolio drove strong sales, especially across our companion animal business, where parasiticides, vaccines, key dermatology products and diagnostics performed very well. we also saw growth in livestock this quarter, largely due to sales growth in both the u.s. cattle market and china’s swine market.” “looking ahead, we continue to see future growth being driven by companion animal products, particularly simparica trio® and the expansion of our other parasiticides and key dermatology portfolio. we will continue to invest in opportunities that can deliver the most value and impact for our customers. given our strong performance over the past nine months – and despite expectations for a more modest fourth quarter – we are increasing our guidance to reflect our outlook for the remainder of the year,” 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 2020: revenue in the u.s. segment was $996 million, an increase of 18% compared with the third quarter of 2019. sales of companion animal products increased 21% driven primarily by growth in simparica trio, the recently launched triple combination parasiticide for dogs, as well as the company’s key dermatology portfolio across both the cytopoint® and apoquel® brands. also contributing to growth were sales of vaccines and diagnostic products, resulting from the continued recovery of vet clinic businesses following the impact of social distancing restrictions earlier in the year. companion animal product sales also benefited from the acquisition of a number of regional diagnostic reference labs in late 2019. sales of livestock products increased 13% in the quarter due to a return to historical buying patterns following the impact of covid-19 in the second quarter of this year, as well as an earlier fall cattle run compared to the same period last year. u.s. cattle growth was partially offset by modest declines in both the poultry and swine product portfolios. revenue in the international segment was $767 million, an increase of 6% on a reported basis and an increase of 11% operationally compared with the third quarter of 2019. sales of companion animal products grew 17% on a reported basis and 20% on an operational basis. growth was driven by increased sales across the company’s companion animal portfolio in china as a result of favorable market conditions and additional promotional and educational efforts. also contributing to growth in the quarter was the simparica franchise, including simparica trio, which was recently launched in the eu, canada and australia, as well as the company’s key dermatology portfolio across both the apoquel and cytopoint brands. sales of companion animal products, including vaccines, also benefited as clinics expanded their operations following less covid-19-related restrictions. sales of livestock products were flat on a reported basis and grew 6% operationally. sales of swine products grew as a result of expanding herd production in key accounts and increased biosecurity measures in the wake of african swine fever in china. in other key global swine markets, vaccine sales increased as a result of favorable market conditions including increased production and export opportunities. growth in the company’s fish portfolio was driven primarily by increased market share for salmon vaccines and the acquisition of fish vet group. the company’s cattle portfolio grew modestly based on a strong performance in brazil, while poultry product sales remained flat versus the same period in the prior year. investments in growth zoetis diversifies and grows its business through the introduction of new products, lifecycle innovations, business development initiatives, and entries into new markets and technologies. the company is increasingly focused on developing integrated solutions for veterinarians, farmers and pet owners, which span the continuum of animal care - helping to predict, prevent, detect and treat diseases. since our last quarterly earnings announcement, zoetis received a positive scientific opinion from the european medicines agency’s committee for medicinal products for veterinary use (cvmp) for librela® (bedinvetmab), an important milestone in the company’s innovative pipeline for pain management in pets. librela will be the first injectable monoclonal antibody (mab) licensed for alleviation of pain associated with osteoarthritis (oa) in dogs, pending final authorization from the european commission. zoetis continued to bring leading products into new markets and enhance current products through lifecycle innovation. on the companion animal side, simparica® (sarolaner) chewable tablets was approved in china, and other key products including cytopoint (lokivetmab) and revolution plus® (selamectin and sarolaner topical solution) gained approvals in asia and latin america respectively. in livestock, the company received approval in japan for two of its well-known swine vaccines – fostera® gold pcv mh and fostera gold pcv – which give producers greater options to reduce the clinical symptoms in pigs associated with porcine circovirus (pcv2) and the flexibility to include mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (m. hyo). in europe, zoetis enhanced its rispoval® vaccine franchise with the approval for rispoval rs+pi3 intranasal, which helps protect cattle of all ages against two of the most common causes of viral pneumonia. in diagnostics portfolio advancements, the company launched vetscan imagyst™ in australia, ireland, new zealand, the uk, and the u.s. imagyst uses a combination of image recognition technology, algorithms and cloud-based artificial intelligence to deliver rapid testing results to veterinary clinics. its first indication is for testing fecal samples for parasites, with the potential for broader applications to different types of testing in the future. financial guidance zoetis is increasing its full year 2020 guidance, which includes: revenue between $6.550 billion and $6.625 billion reported diluted eps between $3.38 and $3.45 adjusted diluted eps between $3.76 and $3.81 this guidance reflects foreign exchange rates as of late-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

(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.
