Zoetis 2024 Proxy Statement 73

List of Most Important Measures

The four items listed below represent the most important metrics we used to determine CAP for 2023 as further described in our CD&A within the sections titled “Annual Incentive Plan” and “Long-Term Incentives”:

​Most Important Performance Measures​
​Relative Total Shareholder Return(i)​
​Revenue(ii)​
​Adjusted Diluted EPS(ii)​
​Free Cash Flow(ii)​

(i)

Relative Total Shareholder Return is the 3-year performance metric used for Zoetis’ performance award units, which comprise 50% of the long-term incentive compensation of our NEOs, including the CEO. Total Shareholder Return (TSR) is the appreciation of share price, including dividends, during the performance period. Relative TSR is Zoetis’ TSR as compared to the TSR over the performance period of the “S&P 500 Group”, which we define as the companies comprising the S&P 500 stock market index as of the beginning of the performance period, excluding companies that during the performance period are acquired or no longer publicly traded.

​

(ii)

Revenue, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow refer to the measures used to assess performance in determining the funding for our Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) and exclude the impacts of foreign exchange and certain other adjustments as described in the CD&A.

​

Description of the CAP and Performance Relationship

Total Shareholder Return (TSR): Zoetis versus S&P 500 Pharmaceuticals Index

​

The graph below compares an initial investment in our common stock of $100 on December 31, 2019, versus the same investment in the S&P 500 Pharmaceuticals Index (assuming dividends, if any, were reinvested). It should be noted that the companies in the S&P 500 Pharmaceuticals index are not the same as those used for our compensation benchmarking, nor are they the same as the S&P 500, which is the group of companies we use to determine Relative TSR for the company’s performance award unit metric, as described in the CD&A.

Compensation Actually Paid (CAP) versus Zoetis TSR

​

The graph below compares the Compensation Actually Paid (CAP) of the CEO and the Other NEOs, to Zoetis’ TSR for the four fiscal years beginning with 2020. As the graph shows, the CAP to the CEO and Other NEOs is directionally aligned with the Company’s TSR.

CAP versus Net Income

​

The graph below compares the CAP of the CEO and the Other NEOs, to Zoetis’ net income for the four fiscal years beginning with 2020. Net Income has steadily increased while the CEO and Other NEOs CAP has varied by year. Zoetis does not use net income as a metric in its compensation incentives.

Zoetis 2024 Proxy Statement 75

CAP versus Revenue (Company Selected Measure)

​

The graph below compares the CAP of the CEO and the Other NEOs, to Zoetis’ revenue for the four fiscal years beginning with 2020. Revenue has steadily increased while the CEO and Other NEOs’ CAP has varied by year. While revenue is a metric in Zoetis’ AIP, the weight of equity-based LTI — which primarily reflect stock price and relative TSR — exceeds the weight of our annual incentive in the total compensation for executives.
