Franchises Fueling Future Growth

Zoetis sees long-term sustainable growth driven by new products and lifecycle innovations for companion animals and livestock. The executive team will discuss its strategy for expanding its current billion-dollar franchises in dermatology and pet parasiticides, and new expectations for its osteoarthritis pain franchise to reach more than $1 billion in peak sales. Zoetis will also provide an update on its R&D pipeline and future growth opportunities in new therapies for renal disease, cardiology and oncology, as well as its livestock and diagnostics portfolios.

“Our growth and value creation is rooted in the right strategy, a diverse portfolio, our leadership in innovation, and global capabilities that allow us to capitalize on the opportunities we see in an attractive Animal Health market,” said Kristin Peck, Chief Executive Officer of Zoetis. “We pride ourselves on shaping animal health and creating new markets based on game-changing innovations. Based on our track record and talented colleagues, we are confident in our ability to broaden our existing billion-dollar franchises, while innovating and building new ones through continued investments in R&D, supply chain and commercial excellence,” said Peck.

New Ambitions for Value Creation

Zoetis will also introduce new ambitions for the four tenets of its long-standing value proposition over the next 3-5 years, including:

• Growing annual revenue mid-to-high single digits,¹ driven by key franchises.
• Driving ROIC (Return On Invested Capital) accretion¹ by focusing on critical investment priorities.
• Enabling margin improvement¹ through revenue growth in more profitable product categories and greater leverage of its global scale.
• And maintaining balance between investments and return of capital with a disciplined capital allocation strategy.

“Our ability to identify and invest in the most promising product categories have enabled us to grow faster than the market while delivering compelling value to our shareholders for the past decade. Zoetis has the right fundamentals and promising pipeline opportunities to build on this track record and continue to grow revenue at an attractive pace over the medium to long term, while driving margin expansion,” said Wetteny Joseph, Chief Financial Officer of Zoetis.
