Zoetis Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results

August 3, 2016 7:01 AM

FLORHAM PARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Zoetis Inc. (NYSE: ZTS) today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2016 and increased its revenue and adjusted net income guidance for full year 2016.

The company reported revenue of $1.2 billion for the second quarter of 2016, an increase of 3% compared with the second quarter of 2015. Net income for the second quarter of 2016 was $224 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $37 million for the second quarter of 2015, on a reported basis.

Adjusted net income1 for the second quarter of 2016 was $246 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, an increase of 14%. Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2016 excludes the net impact of $22 million for purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related costs and certain significant items.

On an operational2 basis, revenue for the second quarter of 2016 increased 6%, excluding the impact of foreign currency. Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2016 increased 22% operationally, excluding the impact of foreign currency.

EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY

“We have continued our positive momentum through the first half of the year based on the strengths of our diverse portfolio and dedicated Zoetis colleagues,” said Zoetis Chief Executive Officer Juan Ramón Alaix. “In the second quarter, we delivered 6% operational revenue growth, driven by strong sales of our companion animal products and the positive performance of the U.S. cattle business. We also grew adjusted net income significantly faster than revenue – 22% operationally – as cost controls and efficiency improvements are progressing.

“We also continue to reap the benefits of a productive, world-class R&D organization focused on new discoveries like APOQUEL and SIMPARICA, as well as lifecycle innovations across our approximately 300 product lines,” said Alaix. “Our investments in internal R&D and external business development opportunities have us well-positioned as the world leader in animal health today and into the future.”

“We’ve made a number of operational efficiency changes over the last year that have and will negatively impact our reported revenue growth in 2016. However, our go-forward product portfolio and revised international footprint delivered strong revenue growth in the second quarter and over the first half of 2016,” said Paul Herendeen, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Zoetis. “These efficiency improvements and our execution of new product launches have us on track to achieve our updated financial guidance for 2016 and improve our profitability for the long term.”

(a) Operational growth (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. 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.
(c) Primarily includes certain nonrecurring costs related to restructuring, net gains/losses on sales of assets, and other charges for the operational efficiency initiative and supply network strategy, becoming an independent public company, such as the creation of standalone systems and infrastructure, site separation, new branding (including changes to the manufacturing process for required new packaging), and certain legal registration and patent assignment costs.

Reported net income attributable to Zoetis/diluted EPS guidance ~$1,005 - $1,095 ~$2.01 - $2.19
(a) Operational growth (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. 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, 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.
(c) Primarily includes certain nonrecurring costs related to restructuring, net gains/losses on sales of assets, and other charges for the operational efficiency initiative and supply network strategy, becoming an independent public company, such as the creation of standalone systems and infrastructure, site separation, new branding (including changes to the manufacturing process for required new packaging), and certain legal registration and patent assignment costs.
