Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview of our business
Zoetis is a global leader in the animal health industry, focused on the discovery, development, manufacture and commercialization of medicines, vaccines, diagnostic products and services, biodevices, genetic tests and precision animal health. With a legacy of nearly 75 years, we continue to pioneer ways to predict, prevent, detect, and treat animal illness, supporting those raising and caring for animals worldwide - from veterinarians and pet owners to livestock producers.
We manage our operations through two geographic operating segments: the United States (U.S.) and International. Within each of these operating segments, we offer diverse products for both companion animals and livestock customers in order to capitalize on local and regional trends and customer needs. See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 16. Segment Information.
We directly market our products to veterinarians and livestock producers located in approximately 45 countries across North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and South America, and are a market leader in nearly all of the major regions in which we operate. In markets where we do not have a direct commercial presence, we generally contract with distributors that provide logistics and sales and marketing support for our products.
Our companion animal and livestock products are primarily available by prescription through a veterinarian. On a more limited basis, in certain markets, we sell certain products through retail and e-commerce outlets. We also market our products by advertising to veterinarians, pet owners and livestock producers.
We believe our investments in one of the industry’s largest sales organizations, including our extensive network of technical and veterinary operations specialists, our high-quality manufacturing and reliability of supply, and our long track record of developing products that meet customer needs, has led to enduring and valued relationships with our customers. Our research and development (R&D) efforts enable us to deliver innovative products to address unmet needs and evolve our product lines so that they remain relevant for our customers.
We have approximately 300 product lines that we sell in over 100 countries for the prediction, prevention, detection and treatment of diseases and conditions that affect various companion animal and livestock species. The diversity of our product portfolio and our global operations provides stability to our overall business.

Our operating environment
For a description of our operating environment, including factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results, see "Our Operating Environment" in the MD&A of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Set forth below are updates to certain of the factors disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Quarterly Variability of Financial Results
Our quarterly financial results are subject to variability related to a number of factors including, but not limited to: tariffs and other trade protection measures, the decline in global macroeconomic conditions, competitive dynamics, geopolitical tensions with and economic uncertainty in certain markets, inflation, global supply chain disruption and supply availability, variability in distributor inventory stocking levels including as a result of expected demand and promotional activities, weather patterns, herd management decisions, regulatory actions, disease outbreaks, product and geographic mix, timing of price increases and customer expectations related to the same, timing of investment decisions and operational and other changes made in connection with the change in accounting principle to eliminate the one-month financial reporting lag in 2026 for our subsidiaries operating outside the U.S.

Tariffs and Trade Protection Measures
Our business is subject to risks related to, among other factors, tariffs and other trade protection measures put in the place by the United States or other countries, as well as U.S. international trade relations, including those with China, Canada and the European Union. Starting in early 2025, the United States government announced additional tariffs on certain goods imported into the U.S. from numerous countries and multiple nations countered with reciprocal tariffs and other actions in response. While the final tariffs and other measures to be imposed, and their applicability to our business, remain uncertain, such actions may negatively impact demand and result in an increase in some product costs. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and evaluate actions that can be taken to moderate and/or minimize its effects. For further information regarding the impact of potential additional tariffs and trade protection measures on the Company, see Part I., Item 1A, Risk Factors in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
A significant portion of our revenue and costs are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. In addition, our outstanding borrowings may be subject to risk from changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The overall objective of our financial risk management program is to seek to manage the impact of foreign exchange rate movements and interest rate movements on our earnings. We manage these financial exposures through operational means and by using certain financial instruments. These practices may change as economic conditions change.
For a complete discussion of our exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risk, refer to Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes from the information discussed therein.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation as of June 30, 2026, the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable level of assurance in alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During our most recent fiscal quarter, there has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are currently in the process of a multi-year implementation to update our ERP system to a new fully cloud-based system that will replace our existing system. As the phased implementation occurs, it may result in changes to our processes and procedures which may result in changes to our internal controls over financial reporting. As such changes occur, we will evaluate quarterly whether they materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In August 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a multi-year share repurchase program of up to $6 billion of our outstanding common stock. As of June 30, 2026, there was $1.3 billion remaining under this authorization. The program does not have a stated expiration date. Purchases of Zoetis shares may be made at the discretion of management, depending on market conditions and business needs. We repurchase shares pursuant to Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, through repurchase agreements established with several brokers.
In connection with the December 18, 2025 private offering of 0.250% convertible senior notes, we used $248 million of the net proceeds from the offering to purchase approximately 2.1 million shares of Zoetis’ common stock. Following the date of the offering, we used the remaining $1,535 million of net proceeds for additional repurchases of 12.3 million shares of common stock, which were completed as of March 31, 2026.
