PARSIPPANY, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$ZTS #animalhealth—Zoetis Inc. (NYSE: ZTS) today reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2022 and lowered its guidance for full year 2022 to reflect lower than expected sales due to continued supply constraints, veterinary workforce challenges, and the negative impact of recent changes to foreign exchange rates.
The company reported revenue of $2.0 billion for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 1% compared with the third quarter of 2021. Net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $529 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, a decrease of 4% and 3%, respectively, on a reported basis.
On an operational1 basis, revenue for the third quarter of 2022 increased 5%, excluding the impact of foreign currency. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2022 increased 2% operationally, excluding the impact of foreign currency.
Adjusted net income2 for the third quarter of 2022 was $566 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, which declined 5% and 3%, respectively, on a reported basis. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2022 excludes the net impact of $37 million for purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related costs and certain significant items.
EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY
“As the world continues to face dynamic market conditions and uncertainty in the global economy, our business has been tested and continues to perform well based on our diverse, durable product portfolio and global scale,” said Kristin Peck, Chief Executive Officer of Zoetis. “In the third quarter, we delivered 5% operational revenue growth, reflecting steady performance across our innovation-driven companion animal portfolio, especially internationally. We reported 2% operational growth in adjusted net income this quarter. This lower than usual growth on the bottom line was due primarily to a more favorable tax rate in the year-ago quarter.”
“While we remain confident in the strength and growth drivers of our business, we are lowering 2022 guidance to reflect lower than expected sales in the second half of the year related to continued supply constraints, veterinary workforce challenges and recent changes to foreign exchange rates.”
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 2022:
Revenue in the U.S. segment was $1.090 billion, an increase of 2% compared with the third quarter of 2021. Sales of companion animal products increased 6%, driven by growth in the company’s parasiticide portfolio, primarily Simparica Trio®, which were tempered by supply constraints. The company’s key dermatology portfolio also contributed to growth across both the Apoquel® and Cytopoint® brands. Sales of livestock products declined 7% in the quarter. Sales of cattle products declined as a result of generic competition for Draxxin®. Sales of poultry products declined due to the expanded use of lower cost alternatives and generic competition for Zoamix®, the company’s alternative to antibiotics in medicated feed additives. Sales of swine products decreased as a result of increased competition for vaccines.
Revenue in the International segment was $889 million, a decrease of 2% on a reported basis and an increase of 8% operationally compared with the third quarter of 2021. Sales of companion animal products grew 6% on a reported basis and 17% operationally. Growth resulted from increased sales of the company’s recently launched monoclonal antibody products for osteoarthritis pain, Librela® and Solensia®, as well as increased sales in the key dermatology portfolio across both the Apoquel and Cytopoint brands, including the recently launched chewable version of Apoquel. Companion animal vaccines and Simparica Trio also contributed to growth in the quarter. Sales of livestock products declined 8% on a reported basis and were flat operationally. Growth in the company’s fish portfolio was primarily the result of increased sales of vaccines across key salmon markets, including Norway and Chile. Sales of sheep products grew due to favorable market conditions and new product launches in Australia, while sales of the company’s poultry portfolio grew due to market growth and demand generation efforts across Latin America. Growth in fish, sheep and poultry was offset by reduced sales in the company’s swine and cattle portfolios. Sales of swine products decreased in the quarter due to supply constraints across international markets, as well as lower sales across Europe due to reduced exports to China and higher input costs for producers. The company’s cattle portfolio declined primarily due to supply constraints and an unfavorable macro environment for producers in Brazil.
INVESTMENTS IN GROWTH
Zoetis continues to pave the way in the development of monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies to treat osteoarthritis (OA) pain in dogs and cats. Since its last quarterly earnings announcement, the company received approval in Japan and Australia for Librela (bedinvetmab), the first injectable mAb for alleviation of pain associated with OA in dogs. Librela is also approved in the European Union (EU), Canada, Brazil, Chile and other international markets. Additionally, Solensia (frunevetmab), the first injectable mAb for the alleviation of pain associated with OA in cats, was approved in Japan and Chile. It is also approved in the U.S., the EU, Canada, Australia and other international markets. In dermatology, Zoetis received approval in Australia, Canada and Japan for Apoquel Chewable Tablets. Previously approved in the EU, Mexico and other international markets, the new chewable version of Apoquel (oclacitinib) provides veterinarians and pet owners with a palatable, convenient solution to quickly and safely stop the cycle of pruritus in allergic dogs and clinical signs of atopic dermatitis in dogs.
On the livestock side of the business, Zoetis gained approval in the U.S. for Valcor™, a broad spectrum combination endectocide for the treatment of internal and external parasites in cattle. Additionally, Zoetis enhanced its swine vaccine portfolio in the U.S. with the approval of Lawsotek™, a vaccine that helps protect healthy pigs three weeks of age or older against disease caused by the common bacterium Lawsonia intracellularis. The company also received an expanded label approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on three beef implant products. Synovex Choice®, Synovex Plus® and Synovex® One Feedlot are now approved for reimplanting programs, providing beef producers with enhanced flexibility to more broadly use these technologies to help them meet their productivity goals.
In Business Development news, Zoetis completed its acquisition of Jurox, a privately held animal health company based in Australia. The acquisition brings Zoetis a range of companion animal and livestock products primed for global expansion, and provides the company with future growth opportunities, manufacturing capacity and increased capabilities in Australia, its fourth largest market based on 2021 revenue. Additionally, Basepaws, a privately held petcare genetics company acquired by Zoetis in June, recently launched a comprehensive portfolio exclusively for veterinary professionals. The portfolio consists of genetic tests that screen for 64 feline health markers and over 210 canine health markers, the business’ first entry into canine genetics.
FINANCIAL GUIDANCE
Zoetis is lowering its full year 2022 guidance to reflect lower than expected sales due to continued supply constraints, veterinary workforce challenges, as well as the negative impact of recent changes to foreign exchange rates. This includes:
Revenue between $8.000 billion to $8.075 billion
Reported diluted EPS between $4.51 to $4.59
Adjusted diluted EPS between $4.83 to $4.90
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.

Zoetis will host a webcast and conference call at 8:30 a.m. (ET) today, during which company executives will review third quarter 2022 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.

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.
