Zoetis Announces Authorization of Multi-Year $6 Billion Share Repurchase Program

Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a multi-year $6 billion share repurchase program as part of its capital allocation plans. The demand for Zoetis’ innovative and market-leading portfolio has enabled the company to execute its disciplined capital allocation strategy by reinvesting in growth opportunities and returning capital to shareholders, while delivering long-term value.

“Our consistently strong performance in recent years and long-term business outlook continue to make Zoetis an attractive investment opportunity,” said Wetteny Joseph, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Zoetis. “This is Zoetis’ largest share repurchase program to date and reinforces our commitment to our value proposition and our confidence in our continued cash flow generation.”

The shares are expected to be repurchased over a period of up to four years, and the program can be cancelled at any time. The Company’s previous $3.5 billion share repurchase program, which was approved in December 2021, is expected to be completed in 2024.
