The non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation should not be considered alternatives to measurements required by GAAP AAP, such as net income, operating income, and nd earnings per share, and nd should not be considered measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures are unlikely to be comparable with non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this communication relating to matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements, and reflect Zoetiss and Pfizers current views with respect to, among other things, future events and performance. Forward-looking statements are generally identified by using words such as anticipate, estimate, expect, intend, project, plan, predict, believe, seek, continue, outlook, may, might, should, can have, likely or the negative version of these words or comparable words or by using future dates in connection with any discussion of future performance, actions or events. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, actions or events. These matters involve risks and uncertainties as discussed in Pfizers and Zoetiss periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K, and the Prospectus, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from Pfizers and Zoetiss forward-looking statements. This communication also contains statements about the exchange offer. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from Pfizers or Zoetiss forward-looking statements with respect to the exchange offer, including the ability to satisfy the conditions of the exchange offer, and risks relating to any unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses and future prospects. Consequently, while the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Pfizers or Zoetiss financial condition, results or operations or liquidity.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of Zoetis or Pfizer, and are potentially inaccurate assumptions. Investors should not put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Zoetis and Pfizer undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. Investors should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
Zoetis has filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 that includes the Prospectus.
