Company Reaffirms Full-Year 2014 Adjusted Diluted EPS1 Guidance of $1.50 - $1.54

FLORHAM PARK, NJ, Nov. 4, 2014 - Zoetis Inc. (NYSE: ZTS) today reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2014. The company reported revenue of $1.2 billion for the third quarter of 2014, an increase of 10% from the third quarter of 2013. Revenue reflected an operational2 increase of 10%, with foreign currency having no material impact on revenue growth this quarter.

Net income for the third quarter of 2014 was $166 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, an increase of 27%, compared to the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted net income1 for the third quarter of 2014 was $207 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, an increase of 20% and 21%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2014 excludes the net impact of $41 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related costs and certain significant items. On an operational2 basis, adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2014 increased 21%, with foreign currency having a negative impact of 1 percentage point.

EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY
"In the third quarter, we generated 10% operational growth in revenue and 21% in adjusted net income, continuing to demonstrate our long-term value proposition of growing adjusted earnings faster than sales, said Zoetis Chief Executive Officer Juan Ram�n Alaix. This quarters performance was driven largely by 13% operational revenue growth in our livestock products and continued discipline around our operating expenses.

All of our geographical segments benefited from the strong sales of livestock products in the quarter. We saw an increase in the use of our premium cattle products in key markets, as well as continued acceptance of new products in our swine and poultry portfolios," said Alaix. Our overall companion animal product sales grew 5% operationally, reflecting strong sales of Apoquel in the U.S. and certain

European markets. Meanwhile, we experienced increased competition and weaker performance in other companion animal products in the U.S., which somewhat offset double-digit operational growth for companion animal products in the CLAR and EuAfME segments.

Year to date, we have grown revenue at 6% and adjusted net income at 13% on an operational basis, and we are tracking in line with our full-year expectations, said Paul Herendeen, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Zoetis. We didnt see a material impact from foreign currency in our third quarter results, but we do expect to see a negative impact from foreign currency in the fourth quarter and into 2015, given the recent strengthening of the dollar against most major currencies. We remain confident about the remainder of 2014, despite the currency trends, and we are reaffirming our full-year guidance for adjusted earnings per share and narrowing our revenue guidance toward the high end of the range.

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS
Zoetis organizes and manages its business across four regional operating segments: the United States (U.S.); Europe/Africa/Middle East (EuAfME); Canada/Latin America (CLAR); and Asia/Pacific (APAC). Within each of these regional 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 2014:

"
Revenue in the U.S. was $532 million, an increase of 7% compared to the third quarter of 2013.� Sales of livestock products grew 12%, with cattle and swine being the main contributors. Growth in cattle products benefited from higher demand for our premium products as producers continued to see strong market conditions. Swine product sales were driven primarily by the successful launch of new products, which was slightly offset by the continued impact of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus (PEDv). Sales of companion animal products grew 2% driven by APOQUELand other key brands, but this growth was offset by increased competition in vaccines, pain products and parasiticides.

"
Revenue in EuAfME was $293 million, an increase of 12% operationally compared to the third quarter of 2013. Sales of livestock products increased 13% operationally as the region delivered positive results in France and the UK as well as emerging markets.� The livestock growth was driven by increased sales across all species, with particular advances coming from cattle and poultry products.� Sales of companion animal products increased 11% operationally, driven by sales of APOQUEL in Germany and the UK, as well as growth in parasiticides.

"
Revenue in CLAR was $194 million, an increase of 17% operationally compared to the third quarter of 2013. Overall for the segment, sales of livestock products grew 16% operationally and sales of companion animal products grew 19% operationally. The CLAR segment results were largely driven by growth in Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina and Canada. Sales in Venezuela and Argentina grew significantly across all species. In Brazil, there was significant growth driven primarily by sales of cattle products and companion animal products.

2 |


Meanwhile, growth in Canada was primarily driven by sales of companion animal products as well as cattle and swine products.

"
Revenue in APAC was $179 million, an increase of 7% operationally compared to the third quarter of 2013.� Sales of livestock products grew 9% operationally, driven primarily by growth of swine products in Southeast Asia and sales of cattle products in Australia.�Sales of companion animal products were flat operationally due to an inventory buyback related to the termination of a distributor agreement in Japan. Excluding this event, operational growth for companion animal products would have been 8%, driven by sales of parasiticides across the region, equine vaccines in Australia, and increased sales of vaccines in China.

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

Continuous innovation -- Zoetis continues to advance animal health science through innovations that address unmet market needs or improve veterinarians approach to treatment.
��
"
In the third quarter, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) granted Zoetis a conditional license for a vaccine to help fight porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv) in pigs. The two-dose, inactivated vaccine is designed to help healthy pregnant female pigs develop antibodies that can be transferred to their newborn piglets. Zoetis began supplying the vaccine to veterinarians and pig farmers in September.3

"
Zoetis also received a full license from the USDA for its POULVAC� Bron GA 08 vaccine for poultry, the first commercially available vaccine to help reduce disease caused by the Georgia 2008 Type infectious bronchitis virus. The vaccine had been conditionally licensed last fall, and advanced to full licensure in August.

"
The company also received approval of Versican Plus across the European Union.� This combination vaccine for dogs contains nine vaccine antigens helping to protect against ten key canine diseases in one vaccine dose.� Based upon its combination of antigens and adjuvant, Versican� Plus will help provide comprehensive protection for dogs in Europe and be a more convenient option for veterinarians than the currently available products. Versican Plus is expected to be launched in the European Union in 2015.�

Expanding the portfolios reach - Zoetis continues to receive approvals that help expand its key products into new markets or with new formulations.
"
DRAXXIN� 25, an injectable anti-infective, which was first approved in the U.S. in November 2013 and has tapped an important market for swine, has now been approved in Canada and across the European Union. DRAXXIN 25 offers a convenient tool to fight swine respiratory disease (SRD) in nursery pigs by providing a lower concentration of DRAXXIN, making it optimized for use in small pigs to treat and control SRD.

"
EXCENEL� RTU EZ, a reformulated anti-infective that is easier to use and first approved in the U.S. in July 2013, has now been approved in Canada.

"
The POULVAC� E. coli vaccine for poultry, which was the first E. coli vaccine in Europe and first approved in May 2012, continues to perform well and was recently approved for use in the Ukraine.
FINANCIAL GUIDANCE AND COMMENTARY
Zoetis's guidance for full-year 2014 reflects the company's confidence in the diversity of its portfolio, the strength of its business model, and its view of the evolving market conditions for animal health products this year.

Zoetis reaffirmed its adjusted earnings per share guidance for full year 2014 and narrowed its revenue guidance toward the higher end of the range. Full-year 2014 guidance includes:

"
Revenue of between $4.70 billion to $4.75 billion
"
Reported diluted EPS for the full year of between $1.16 to $1.20 per share�
"
Adjusted diluted EPS1 for the full year between $1.50 to $1.54 per share

Additional guidance on other items such as expenses and effective tax rate is 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. (EST) today, during which company executives will review third quarter financial results 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.

DISCLOSURE NOTICES
Forward-Looking Statements:� This press release contains forward-looking statements, which reflect the current views of Zoetis with respect to business plans or prospects, future operating or financial performance, expectations regarding products, future use of cash and dividend payments, and other future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance or actions. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if management's underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by a forward-looking statement. 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, 2013, 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. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors because they provide greater transparency regarding our operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release should not be considered alternatives to measurements required by GAAP, such as net income, operating income, and earnings per share, and should not be considered measures of liquidity. 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.

Internet Posting of Information: We routinely post information that may be important to investors in the 'Investors' section of our web site at www.zoetis.com, on our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/zoetis and on Twitter @zoetis.

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.

In updating our guidance for full-year 2014, we have considered current exchange rates and other factors.
A reconciliation of 2014 adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS guidance to 2014 reported net income attributable to Zoetis and reported diluted EPS attributable to Zoetis common shareholders guidance follows:

~$1.16 - $1.20
(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. 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 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, certain legal registration and patent assignment costs, as well as, restructuring, certain legal and commercial settlements, and other charges.
