Adjusted net income for full year 2024 excludes the net impact of $207 million for purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition and divestiture-related costs, and certain significant items.
Organic Operational Growth3
As previously announced, on October 31, 2024, Zoetis completed the divestiture of its medicated feed additive (MFA) product portfolio, certain water soluble products and related assets. As a result of this transaction, the company is providing organic operational revenue growth, which excludes the impact of all divested products as well as foreign exchange. For the fourth quarter of 2024, the organic operational growth rate was 9%, and for the full year 2024 the organic operational growth rate was 12%. The company will continue to provide this metric in 2025 and has included it in the financial guidance below.
EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY
"Zoetis delivered excellent full year results in 2024, driven by the demand for our innovative products and the strength of our key franchises," said Kristin Peck, Chief Executive Officer of Zoetis. "We achieved 11% revenue growth in the U.S. and 10% operational revenue growth internationally, marking significant revenue milestones, and our companion animal and livestock portfolios saw strong operational revenue growth, 14% and 5%, respectively."
"As we approach 2025, we are eager to continue the momentum we realized in 2024, and we are confident that the drivers of our success are sustainable, positioning us for continued above-market growth this year and beyond. We are guiding to full-year organic operational growth of 6% to 8% in revenue in 2025," said Peck.
QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS
Zoetis organizes and manages its commercial operations across two regional 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 fourth quarter of 2024:
- Revenue in the U.S. segment was $1.3 billion, an increase of 4% compared with the fourth quarter of 2023. Sales of companion animal products increased 7%, driven by the company's flea, tick and heartworm combination product for dogs, Simparica Trio®, as well as the key dermatology portfolio, including Apoquel® and Cytopoint®. Also contributing to growth was the company's monoclonal antibody (mAb) products for osteoarthritis (OA) pain, Librela® for dogs and Solensia® for cats. Growth in the quarter was partially offset by the impact of initial stocking of Librela and Apoquel Chewable products due to launches in the same quarter of the prior year. Sales of livestock products declined 8% in the quarter. The decline was a result of the divestiture of the MFA product portfolio, certain water soluble products and related assets, which more than offset growth in the ceftiofur and Draxxin® lines of injectable antibiotic products.
- Revenue in the International segment was $1.0 billion, reflecting a 6% increase on a reported basis and an increase of 10% operationally compared with the fourth quarter of 2023. Sales of companion animal products grew 11% on a reported basis and 13% operationally. Growth in the quarter was driven by the company's key dermatology products, Apoquel and Cytopoint, parasiticides products, Simparica® and Simparica Trio, as well as the company's monoclonal antibody products for OA pain, Librela and Solensia. Sales of livestock products were flat on a reported basis and grew 6% operationally. Growth across the company's cattle and poultry products was driven largely by price increases across the broader international segment.
INVESTMENTS IN GROWTH
Zoetis continues to advance innovation and care for animals across the globe with product approvals in new markets and additional claim extensions. Since its last quarterly earnings announcement, Revolution® Plus (selamectin/sarolaner), a topical combination product that treats ticks, fleas, ear mites, lice and gastrointestinal worms and prevents heartworm disease in cats, received approval in Brazil. In the U.S. and Canada, Revolution Plus received approval for an additional claim related to the prevention of flea tapeworm infections by controlling fleas.
Librela (bedinvetmab injection), the first injectable monoclonal antibody for the alleviation of pain associated with osteoarthritis in dogs, received approval in El Salvador and South Korea. Simparica (sarolaner) and Simparica Trio (sarolaner/moxidectin/pyrantel) received approval in the U.S. for a claim related to the treatment and control of Asian longhorned tick infestations (Haemaphysalis longicornis) in dogs.
In livestock, Synovex Choice® and Synovex® Primer received approval in the U.S. for an additional claim to increase rate of weight gain in growing beef steers and heifers on pasture. In the EU, Poulvac® IB Primer and Poulvac IB QX received approval for an association claim that includes cross protection against 793B and variant 2 strains of infectious Bronchitis virus (IBV).

Reconciliations of 2025 reported guidance to 2025 adjusted guidance follows: | |||||
(millions of dollars, except per share amounts) | Reported | Certain significant
| Purchase
| Adjusted(b) | |
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue | ~ 28.2% | ~ (0.1%) | ~ (0.1%) | ~ 28.0% | |
SG&A expenses | $2,325 to $2,375 | ~ $(15) | ~ $(10) | $2,300 to $2,350 | |
R&D expenses | $682 to $692 | ~ $(2) | $680 to $690 | ||
Interest expense and other (income)/deductions | ~ $200 | ~ $200 | |||
Effective tax rate | ~ 21% | ~ 21% | |||
Diluted EPS | $5.70 to $5.80 | ~ $0.07 | ~ $0.23 | $6.00 to $6.10 | |
Net income attributable to Zoetis | $2,570 to $2,620 | ~ $30 | ~ $100 | $2,700 to $2,750 | |
(a) Operational results (a non-GAAP financial measure) excludes the impact of foreign exchange. | |||||
(b) Organic operational results (a non-GAAP financial measure) excludes the impact of foreign exchange and certain acquisitions and divestitures. | |||||
(c) Adjusted net income and its components and adjusted diluted EPS are defined as reported U.S. GAAP net income and its components and reported diluted EPS excluding purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition and divestiture-related costs and certain significant items. Adjusted cost of sales, adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted R&D expenses, and adjusted interest expense and other (income)/deductions-net 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. | |||||
(d) We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted net income operational growth or organic operational growth to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP reported financial measure because we are unable to calculate with reasonable certainty the foreign exchange impact of unusual gains and losses, acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, potential future asset impairments and other certain significant items, without unreasonable effort. The foreign exchange impacts of these items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance period. | |||||
(e) Primarily includes certain nonrecurring costs related to acquisitions, divestitures and other charges. | |||||
