FLORHAM PARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Zoetis Inc. ZTS today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2015 and updated its full year 2015 guidance.

The company reported revenue of $1.2 billion for the second quarter of 2015, which increased 1% compared to the second quarter of 2014. Revenue reflected an operational2 increase of 11%, excluding the impact of foreign exchange.

The net loss for the second quarter of 2015 was $37 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, which includes $263 million in pre-tax charges related to the company's previously announced comprehensive operational efficiency initiative. Adjusted net income1 for the second quarter of 2015 was $216 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, an increase of 14% and 13%, respectively. Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2015 excludes the net impact of $253 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related costs and certain significant items. On an operational basis, adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2015 increased 20%, with foreign currency having a negative impact of 6 percentage points.

EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY

"In the second quarter, we generated operational revenue growth of 11% based on the strength and diversity of our business. Our adjusted net income grew 20% operationally, and we continue delivering our long-term value proposition to shareholders -- growing adjusted net income faster than sales," said Zoetis Chief Executive Officer Juan Ramón Alaix. "The growth this quarter was driven by the positive performance of our portfolio in both companion animal and livestock products, the addition of Abbott Animal Health products, the growth of APOQUEL® and other new products, and the continued discipline on operating expenses."

"Our broad portfolio, proven business model and dedicated Zoetis colleagues enabled us to deliver these results as we began implementing significant changes to become more competitive and profitable," said Alaix. "We remain committed to maintaining our commercial, R&D and manufacturing strengths, while reducing complexity in our business and achieving our efficiency goals."

"With our operational efficiency initiative, we have begun the process to re-shape our business around the key products, markets and manufacturing sites that will make us an even stronger and more profitable leader in animal health. Execution of these plans is underway," said Zoetis Chief Financial Officer Paul Herendeen. "We are pleased to see continued efficiency and expense control in this quarter's results, along with excellent sales growth, and we are updating our full year guidance for 2015 and reaffirming our long-term goals for 2016 and 2017."

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 second quarter of 2015:

  • Revenue in the U.S. segment was $539 million, an increase of 17% compared to the second quarter of 2014. Sales of livestock products grew 14% with balanced growth across cattle, swine and poultry. Favorable market conditions drove growth in cattle across multiple categories, including premium brands, as well as vaccines and reproductive products. Cattle also benefited from new product growth, primarily ACTOGAIN®. Sales of swine products delivered broad growth due to the continued recovery in the pig population following the PEDv outbreak, as well as new product introductions. Growth in sales of poultry products was driven by the re-introduction of ZOAMIX® and increased volumes in other medicated feed additives. Companion animal product sales grew 20%, driven by the addition of products acquired from Abbott Animal Health, as well as significant growth of APOQUEL®.
  • Revenue in the International segment was $622 million, an increase of 6% operationally compared to the second quarter of 2014. Growth was driven by performance in livestock, which increased 6% operationally, with higher sales of cattle and swine products offset by lower sales of poultry products. Continued favorable market conditions and new product launches in Brazil drove growth of the cattle portfolio. The performance of our portfolio in China and other Asian markets helped drive increased sales of swine products, which are also benefiting from better market conditions. Companion animal products grew 8% operationally, primarily from sales of APOQUEL®, as well as sales of parasiticide products in key markets in Western Europe, Australia, Canada and China. Performance was also supported by strong vaccine sales in China.

Zoetis continues to drive demand and strengthen its diverse portfolio of products through product 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:

New Product Innovations – Zoetis continues to advance animal health science through innovations that address unmet market needs or improve veterinarians' approach to prevention and treatment. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) granted Zoetis a conditional license for a first-of-its-kind antibody therapy that targets interleukin-31 (IL-31) to help reduce clinical signs associated with atopic dermatitis in dogs. It represents another major breakthrough to emerge from the proprietary research and development platform Zoetis has built based on new scientific insights into the pathway of allergic skin conditions.

Portfolio Lifecycle Development – As part of enhancing the lifecycle of its products, Zoetis continues to receive approvals for new indications and formulations of key products. The company has also expanded major products into new markets. In the second quarter, for example:

  • Zoetis received approval of new label claims in the U.S. and European Union (EU) for CERENIA® (maropitant citrate), an antiemetic to treat and prevent acute vomiting in dogs and cats. In the U.S., the revised label now allows for once-daily tablet administration until resolution of acute vomiting for dogs seven months of age and older. In the EU, the injectable form of CERENIA has been approved for intravenous use in dogs and cats. Both approvals offer veterinarians greater latitude to treat each patient individually.
  • The company is also expanding the breadth of its FOSTERA® swine vaccine franchise. In Canada, Zoetis gained label claims for its FOSTERA porcine reproductive and respiratory (PRRS) vaccine for swine, with reproductive protection and one-day-of-age administration. The company continued to bring its FOSTERA PCV MH vaccine to Latin American countries with approval in Ecuador. The combination vaccine helps protect swine from porcine circovirus-associated disease and enzootic pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae.
  • DRAXXIN® 25, an injectable anti-infective, which has tapped an important market for swine, was launched in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece. DRAXXIN 25 offers a convenient tool to fight swine respiratory disease (SRD) in nursery pigs by providing a lower concentration, making it optimized for use in small pigs.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Zoetis narrowed its revenue and earnings per share guidance for full year 2015 toward the higher end of its previous ranges to reflect its year-to-date performance and outlook for the remainder of 2015.

Full year 2015 guidance includes:

  • Revenue of between $4.700 billion to $4.775 billion
  • Reported diluted EPS of between $0.81 to $1.02 per share
  • Adjusted diluted EPS1 of between $1.63 to $1.68 per share

The company also reaffirmed its long-term outlook for 2016 and 2017. Additional guidance on other items for 2015, 2016 and 2017 such as expenses and tax rate are included in the financial tables and will be discussed on the company's conference call this morning.

WEBCAST & CONFERENCE CALL DETAILS

Zoetis will host a webcast and conference call at 8:30 a.m. (EDT) today, during which company executives will review second quarter financial results, discuss 2015 financial guidance, and respond to questions from financial analysts. Investors and the public may access the live webcast by visiting the Zoetis website at http://www.zoetis.com/events-and-presentations.

(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.
 
(c) Exclusive of amortization of intangible assets, except as discussed in footnote (d) below.
 
(d)

Amortization expense related to finite-lived acquired intangible assets that contribute to our ability to sell, manufacture, research, market and distribute products, compounds and intellectual property is included in Amortization of intangible assets as these intangible assets benefit multiple business functions.

(e) EPS amounts may not add due to rounding. For the quarter ended June 28, 2015, weighted-average diluted shares used to calculate non-GAAP adjusted net income per share were 502,563 thousand.

A reconciliation of 2015 adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS guidance to 2015 reported net income attributable to Zoetis and reported diluted EPS attributable to Zoetis common shareholders guidance follows:

               
        Full-Year 2015 Guidance  
(millions of dollars, except per share amounts)     Net Income       Diluted EPS  
Adjusted net income/diluted EPS(a) guidance     ~$820 - $845 ~$1.63 - $1.68  
Purchase accounting adjustments ~(40) ~(0.08)
Certain significant items(b) and acquisition-related costs         ~(290 - 370)       ~(0.58 - 0.74)  
Reported net income attributable to Zoetis/diluted EPS guidance         ~$410 - $515       ~$0.81 - $1.02  
(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, 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.
