Let's see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Factors to Consider
Zoetis derives a majority of its revenues from a diversified product portfolio of medicines and vaccines used to treat and protect livestock and companion animals. The company reports business results under two geographical operating segments — United States and International.
Revenues in the last-reported quarter increased year over year to $1,004 million in the United States – a trend that most likely continued in the third quarter as well. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the United States is pegged at $1,005 million. International revenues in the last-reported quarter increased year over year to $924 million. This trend is also expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for international revenues stands at $872 million.
Strong sales of the dermatology portfolio strengthened the United States segment in the last-reported quarter, a trend that most likely continued in the third quarter as well. The company’s companion animal business has also been performing well, primarily owing to higher sales of the SimparicaTrio – a triple combination parasiticide for dogs.
In the last-reported quarter, sales of livestock products declined year over year — a trend that most likely continued in the third quarter as well. Sales of poultry products also declined in the last-reported quarter due to the expanded use of lower-cost alternatives for premium products — a trend expected to have continued in the to-be reported quarter. Sales of cattle products also decreased year over year due to increased generic competition — a trend that most likely continued in the third quarter as well.
In the last-reported quarter, sales of swine products remained flat year over year — a trend expected to have continued in the to-be reported quarter.
For the International segment, sales of companion animal products increased in the last-reported quarter. The trend is expected to have continued in the third quarter as well. Growth in the company’s fish portfolio was primarily driven by increased sales of the Alpha Flux sea lice treatment product — a trend that most likely continued in the third quarter.
