4 2023 Calculation
Economic profit = NOPAT – Cost of capital × Invested capital
= 2,410 – 15.11% × 11,550 = 664
An analysis of economic profit from 2019 to 2023 reveals a general trajectory of growth in operational profitability, despite significant volatility in the value added. The most notable expansion occurred in the final year of the period, where economic profit reached its peak, reflecting an improved ability to generate returns above the cost of capital.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- NOPAT exhibited a strong overall upward trend, increasing from US$ 1,570 million in 2019 to US$ 2,410 million in 2023. While a temporary contraction was observed in 2022, with profit declining to US$ 1,958 million, a sharp recovery occurred in 2023, marking the highest operational profit in the five-year period.
- Cost of Capital
- The cost of capital remained remarkably stable throughout the analyzed timeframe, fluctuating within a narrow range between 14.83% and 15.11%. This stability indicates a consistent weighted average cost of capital and a steady risk profile over the five years.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital followed an increasing trend from 2019 to 2022, peaking at US$ 12,542 million. A reversal occurred in 2023, where invested capital decreased to US$ 11,550 million, suggesting a shift toward capital optimization or a reduction in the asset base.
- Economic Profit
- Economic profit demonstrated high volatility, characterized by a significant dip to US$ 14 million in 2020 and a subsequent climb to US$ 664 million by 2023. The substantial increase in 2023 is the result of a dual positive impact: a record high NOPAT combined with a reduction in the invested capital base, which widened the spread between the return on invested capital and the cost of capital.

4 Addition of increase (decrease) in equity equivalents to net income attributable to Zoetis Inc..
5 2023 Calculation
Interest expense on capitalized operating leases = Operating lease liability × Discount rate
= 236 × 3.41% = 8
6 2023 Calculation
Tax benefit of interest expense, net of capitalized interest = Adjusted interest expense, net of capitalized interest × Statutory income tax rate
= 247 × 21.00% = 52
7 Addition of after taxes interest expense to net income attributable to Zoetis Inc..
8 2023 Calculation
Tax expense (benefit) of investment income = Investment income, before tax × Statutory income tax rate
= 105 × 21.00% = 22
9 Elimination of after taxes investment income.
The financial trajectory from 2019 to 2023 is characterized by a general upward trend in both net income and net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT), although the two metrics exhibit different patterns of volatility.
- Net Income Progression
- Net income attributable to Zoetis Inc. experienced uninterrupted growth over the five-year period. Starting at 1,500 million US$ in 2019, the figure rose to 2,344 million US$ by 2023. The most pronounced increase occurred between 2020 and 2021, during which net income grew by approximately 24.3%.
- NOPAT Performance and Volatility
- Net operating profit after taxes followed a growth pattern similar to net income until 2021, reaching 2,131 million US$. However, a contraction was observed in 2022, with NOPAT decreasing to 1,958 million US$. This decline was followed by a substantial recovery in 2023, resulting in a period high of 2,410 million US$.
- Correlation Analysis
- A divergence between the two metrics is evident in 2022, where net income increased despite a decrease in NOPAT. This indicates that the net income growth in 2022 was likely driven by non-operating gains or a reduction in non-operating expenses rather than core operational efficiency. In all other years, the two metrics moved in tandem, with NOPAT consistently remaining higher than net income, reflecting the impact of non-operating adjustments on the final bottom line.

Cash Operating Taxes
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-12-31).
Analysis of tax expenditures between 2019 and 2023 reveals a consistent upward trajectory in tax provisions, contrasted by more volatile fluctuations in actual cash tax payments.
- Provision for Taxes on Income
- A steady and uninterrupted increase is observed in the provision for taxes on income, which rose from US$ 301 million in 2019 to US$ 596 million by the end of 2023. This represents a cumulative growth of approximately 98% over the five-year period, indicating a consistent expansion of the company's reported tax obligations.
- Cash Operating Taxes
- Cash operating taxes exhibited a strong upward trend from 2019 through 2022, increasing from US$ 422 million to a peak of US$ 867 million. However, 2023 marked a notable reversal of this trend, with cash payments decreasing to US$ 687 million. This decline occurred despite the simultaneous increase in the tax provision for the same period.
- Comparative Variance Analysis
- Cash operating taxes consistently exceeded the provision for taxes on income across all five years analyzed. The divergence peaked in 2022, where cash outflows for taxes were US$ 322 million higher than the reported provision. By 2023, this gap narrowed significantly as cash payments decreased and provisions continued to rise, suggesting potential shifts in tax timing or the utilization of deferred tax assets.

4 Addition of restructuring accruals.
5 Addition of equity equivalents to total Zoetis Inc. equity.
6 Removal of accumulated other comprehensive income.
7 Subtraction of construction-in-progress.
8 Subtraction of available-for-sale debt securities.
Invested capital exhibited a general upward trajectory from 2019 to 2022, peaking at US$ 12,542 million before contracting by approximately 7.9% in 2023 to US$ 11,550 million.
- Invested Capital Trajectory
- A significant expansion occurred between 2019 and 2020, with invested capital rising from US$ 9,838 million to US$ 11,557 million. Growth remained relatively stable through 2021 and reached a five-year peak in 2022. The subsequent decline in 2023 returned the total invested capital to levels nearly identical to those recorded in 2020.
- Equity Growth Trends
- Total equity demonstrated a consistent and sustained growth pattern, increasing from US$ 2,708 million in 2019 to US$ 4,997 million in 2023. Aside from a marginal dip in 2022, the equity base expanded steadily, indicating a strengthening of the company's internal funding capacity.
- Debt and Lease Volatility
- Total reported debt and leases exhibited higher volatility compared to equity. Debt levels rose to US$ 7,402 million in 2020, dipped in 2021, and peaked at US$ 8,133 million in 2022. A substantial reduction followed in 2023, with debt falling to US$ 6,812 million, which served as the primary driver for the overall contraction of invested capital in the final year.
The composition of invested capital shifted over the observed period, moving toward a higher proportion of equity financing. While debt levels fluctuated, the steady increase in equity suggests a strategic reduction in financial leverage by the end of 2023.
