PARSIPPANY, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$ZTS #animalhealthZoetis Inc. (NYSE: ZTS) today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2020 and raised and narrowed its guidance for full year 2020 to reflect the company’s current view of the estimated full-year impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and foreign currency headwinds.

The company reported revenue of $1.5 billion for the second quarter of 2020, which is flat compared with the second quarter of 2019. Net income for the second quarter of 2020 was $377 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, an increase of 2% and 3%, respectively, on a reported basis.

Adjusted net income1 for the second quarter of 2020 was $427 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, a decrease of 2%, on a reported basis. Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2020 excludes the net impact of $50 million for purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related costs and certain significant items.

On an operational2 basis, revenue for the second quarter of 2020 increased 4%, excluding the impact of foreign currency. Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2020 increased 4% operationally, excluding the impact of foreign currency.

EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY

“As an essential business supporting the global food supply and the care of people’s pets during the pandemic, Zoetis demonstrated greater resiliency than expected in the second quarter, with 4% operational growth in revenue and 4% operational growth in adjusted net income,” said Kristin Peck, Chief Executive Officer of Zoetis. “Our strong companion animal portfolio, based on our internal innovations, helped offset some of the deeper challenges in the livestock market today.”

“Looking ahead, we expect our overall revenue growth for the remainder of the year to be driven largely by companion animal products, especially parasiticides and our key dermatology portfolio, and we are raising our guidance to reflect our current outlook for the year. We will continue to invest in products that will strengthen the innovations and digital solutions that are needed by our customers across the continuum of care – from prediction and prevention to detection and treatment of diseases,” 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 second quarter of 2020:

  • Revenue in the U.S. segment was $823 million, an increase of 6% compared with the second quarter of 2019. Sales of companion animal products increased 19% driven primarily by growth in the Simparica® franchise, including the continued launch of Simparica Trio®, the company’s new triple combination parasiticide for dogs. Also contributing to growth was the company’s key dermatology portfolio across both the Cytopoint® and Apoquel® brands. Additionally, companion animal sales benefited from the recent acquisitions of Platinum Performance and its nutritional product formulas, as well as a number of regional diagnostic reference labs. Sales of livestock products decreased 18% in the quarter. Disruptions in the food supply chain including reduced producer processing capacity and continued channel migration from dining out to preparing food at home impacted producer profitability and resulted in a decline across each of the cattle, swine and poultry portfolios. The decline in the cattle portfolio was also the result of continued unfavorable market conditions in beef and dairy, while swine product sales were negatively impacted by increased competition.
  • Revenue in the International segment was $708 million, a decrease of 5% on a reported basis and an increase of 3% operationally compared with the second quarter of 2019. Sales of companion animal products declined 3% on a reported basis and grew 2% on an operational basis. Growth resulted from increased sales of the company’s key dermatology portfolio across both the Apoquel and Cytopoint brands, as well as the Simparica franchise, including the launch of Simparica Trio in Canada and certain markets in the EU. Sales of companion animal products in China continued to grow rapidly driven by strong underlying market dynamics. Growth in companion animal products was partially offset by the impact of COVID-19 and social distancing measures in certain EU markets and in Latin America, including Brazil, that resulted in decreased veterinary clinic traffic. Sales of livestock products declined 5% on a reported basis and grew 4% 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. The timing of seasonal vaccination protocols in key salmon markets and the recently launched parasiticide Alpha Flux® were the primary drivers of growth in fish. Growth in our poultry portfolio was the result of increased sales of medicated feed additives and sales of biodevices. Sales of cattle products declined in the quarter due to the impact of COVID-19 in certain markets as well as the discontinuation of non-core products in Brazil.

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 pet owners, veterinarians and farmers that span the continuum of animal care – helping to predict, prevent, detect and treat diseases.

Since our last quarterly earnings announcement, Zoetis continued to bring leading products into new markets. In Brazil, Zoetis received approval for Vanguard® B Oral, a vaccine that aids in preventing kennel cough in dogs, as well as Excenel® RTU EZ (ceftiofur hydrochloride), an anti-infective that treats respiratory diseases in cattle and swine. Additionally, Fostera® Gold PCV MH was approved in Australia. This vaccine provides livestock farmers with greater options and flexibility to reduce the clinical symptoms in pigs associated with porcine circovirus (PCV2) and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyo). Fostera Gold PCV Metastim was also approved in Australia to reduce the clinical symptoms associated with PCV2.

In addition to new product approvals and lifecycle innovations, Zoetis continues to support future growth through business development activities. In July, the company acquired Fish Vet Group as a strategic addition to its Pharmaq business, which develops and commercializes fish vaccines and offers services in vaccination and diagnostics for aquaculture. Adding Fish Vet Group grows the geographic reach and enhances the diagnostics expertise and testing services for fish farmers in major aquaculture markets.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Zoetis is raising and narrowing its full year 2020 guidance, which includes:

  • Revenue between $6.300 billion and $6.475 billion
  • Reported diluted EPS between $3.14 and $3.32
  • Adjusted diluted EPS between $3.52 and $3.68

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

Zoetis will host a webcast and conference call at 8:30 a.m. (ET) today, during which company executives will review second quarter 2020 results, discuss 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://investor.zoetis.com/events-presentations.
