Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS), the world's leading animal health company, today reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2026.
The company reported revenue of $2.3 billion for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of 3% compared with the first quarter of 2025 and flat on an organic operational1 basis. Net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $601 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, reflecting flat performance and growth of 6%, respectively, on a reported basis.
Adjusted net income2 for the first quarter of 2026 was $646 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, an increase of 2% and 9%, respectively, on a reported basis, and an increase of 1% and 7%, respectively, on an organic operational basis. Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2026 excludes the net impact of $45 million for purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition and divestiture-related costs and certain significant items.
"The first quarter unfolded in a more challenging operating environment than we anticipated. Pet owners demonstrated increased price sensitivity, resulting in a decline in veterinary visits and softer demand for premium innovative products, where Zoetis leads. At the same time, competition intensified across key pet care categories, including dermatology and parasiticides. We are taking decisive action to sharpen commercial execution, unlock revenue and continue to drive disciplined cost management. The breadth of our portfolio remains a strength, reflected in the performance of International, livestock, and diagnostics in the quarter," said Kristin Peck, Chief Executive Officer of Zoetis. "With a robust pipeline of more than 12 potential blockbusters, a proven science-to-scale model that has consistently enabled us to compete and win, and a resilient, diversified business supported by strong industry fundamentals, we are well positioned to deliver our next wave of innovation and remain confident in our ability to deliver sustained value for shareholders."
SEGMENT 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 first quarter of 2026:
- Revenue in the U.S. segment was $1.1 billion, reflecting a decrease of 8% on both a reported and an organic operational basis relative to the first quarter of 2025. Companion animal product sales decreased 11% due to softer end-market demand and an increasingly competitive landscape. The company's key dermatology franchise and Simparica Trio® faced heightened competitive pressure and persistent macroeconomic-driven price sensitivity. Also contributing to the decline was the impact of generic competition on the Convenia® and Cerenia® brands, as well as lower sales of Librela®, the company's monoclonal antibody (mAb) product for osteoarthritis (OA) pain. Sales of livestock products increased 7% on both a reported and organic operational basis in the quarter, supported by broad-based strength across cattle, poultry and swine. Cattle performance was driven primarily by favorable producer economics in beef cattle, supply timing and expanded targeted use of parasiticides in response to New World screwworm. Poultry performance benefited from increased vaccine sales tied to disease outbreak activity, while swine growth reflected improved supply for a key antibiotic product.
-
Revenue in the International segment was $1.1 billion, a 17% increase on a reported basis and a 10% increase on an organic operational basis compared with the first quarter of 2025. Companion animal product sales grew 15% on a reported basis and 7% on an organic operational basis, led by the company's parasiticides portfolio, including Simparica Trio, along with contributions from diagnostics, vaccines, and the timing of price increases. These gains were partially offset by lower sales of key dermatology products, driven primarily by competitive dynamics. Sales of livestock products grew 19% on a reported basis and 14% on an organic operational basis, driven by broad-based growth across all core species including cattle, swine, poultry and fish reflecting strong end-market demand, supply recovery and the timing of price increases.
Revenue in the International segment was positively impacted by operational changes made in connection with the company's Fiscal Year Alignment (as defined below), which contributed an estimated $100 million in revenue to the quarter, driven by the timing of price increases in certain international markets and the delayed processing of customer orders both referenced in the company's full year 2025 results, as well as changes in the performance of the business when comparing Q4 2025 to a strong Q4 2024.
INVESTMENTS IN GROWTH
Zoetis' pipeline has more than 12 potential blockbuster3 candidates across areas of significant unmet medical need including chronic kidney disease, oncology, cardiology, anxiety and obesity. The company remains on track to receive a significant approval in a major market every year for the next several years.
Zoetis continues to drive innovation by advancing lifecycle innovation, developing new formulations that deepen the value of proven therapies, and expanding geographically to new markets, providing access to industry-leading treatments where few previously existed. Together, these efforts improve the lives of companion animals and livestock around the world. Recent approvals include:
- Approval in Canada for a new formulation of Convenia, an antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial skin infections and urinary tract infections for dogs. Suitable for all dogs and an especially cost-effective option for larger dogs, Convenia RTU is a ready-to-use formula that offers a canine-specific antibiotic in a single, concentrated dose administered in-clinic, ensuring 100% compliance for veterinarians. This approval was received ahead of internal estimates and is anticipated to contribute to the brand's 15-year blockbuster status.
- Apoquel® Chewable, the first and only chewable treatment for the relief of allergic itch in dogs, received approval in Thailand.
- ALPHA JECT® micro 4 is the company's first fish vaccine approved in Japan, reinforcing the continued demand for fish as a protein.
- Ketofen® was also approved in Japan for cattle pain management.
Advancing Livestock Innovation
As previously announced on March 2, Zoetis has entered into a definitive agreement with Neogen Corporation to acquire Neogen's animal genomics business. This acquisition aligns with Zoetis' strategy to drive future livestock innovation through genomics, reinforcing its commitment to livestock producers worldwide and accelerating its livestock genetics portfolio. With Neogen's genomic technologies and data solutions, Zoetis will expand its capabilities to deliver predictive insights, individualized care, and greater value to customers across major livestock and companion animal species. Zoetis expects to complete the acquisition in the second half of 2026.
Zoetis further demonstrated its commitment to innovation by equipping dairy producers with enhanced tools to improve profitability, animal well-being and environmental stewardship. The company launched additional traits for CLARIFIDE® Plus and made updates available in the Dairy Wellness Profit Index® (DWP$®). New traits include measuring environmental stewardship and heat resilience, enabling dairy producers to continue driving production efficiency and overall herd profitability while understanding and improving their herd's genetic potential for sustainability.
FISCAL YEAR ALIGNMENT
Effective January 1, 2026, Zoetis eliminated the one-month financial reporting lag by its subsidiaries operating outside of the U.S. and adjusted its year-end for all subsidiaries to December 31 (the "Fiscal Year Alignment"). Zoetis has retroactively applied the new accounting principle to prior financial statement periods, which will allow for a comparison of the financial results to historical operations.
For additional information on the Fiscal Year Alignment, including the recast of certain line items of the company's consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods of 2025 and annual periods of 2024 and 2025, refer to the presentation of supplemental financial information by visiting the Zoetis website at https://investor.zoetis.com/financials/quarterly-results.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: We use non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, operational results (which exclude the impact of foreign exchange) and organic operational results (which exclude the impact of foreign exchange and certain acquisitions and divestitures), to assess and analyze our results and trends and to make financial and operational decisions.

(a) 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. |

(b) Represents costs related to our multi-year business process transformation program, which includes the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, related digital technology solutions and other related costs, included in Selling, general and administrative expenses and Cost of sales. This comprehensive program is a major global and cross-functional company-wide effort that we believe will transform how we work across our business and contribute to all of our strategic priorities. Due to the nature, scope and magnitude of this investment, these costs are incremental transformational costs that are far in excess of the historical normal level of spending to support operations and are not expected to recur in the foreseeable future. |

(a) Organic operational results (a non-GAAP financial measure) excludes the impact of foreign exchange and certain acquisitions and divestitures. |
||||
(b) 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. |
||||
(c) We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted net income operational results 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. |
||||
(d) Primarily includes certain nonrecurring costs related to acquisitions, divestitures and other charges. |
