Veterinary pharmaceuticals, vaccines, health management services and digitally connected identification, traceability and monitoring products. On the livestock side the range runs across cattle, swine, poultry and farmed fish: the Nuflor antibiotic range, the Bovilis and Vista vaccine lines, Banamine and Resflor for bovine respiratory disease and inflammation, Safe-Guard de-wormer, the Porcilis and Circumvent swine vaccine lines, the Nobilis and Innovax poultry vaccines, Exzolt against mite infestations, Slice and Imvixa for sea lice in salmon, Aquaflor for farmed fish, and Allflex Livestock Intelligence for animal identification, monitoring and traceability.

Who it competes with

Other worldwide research-based pharmaceutical companies, smaller research companies with a narrower therapeutic focus, generic drug manufacturers and animal health companies. The filing points to generic and biosimilar competition as its own products mature, to competitors' technological advances, industry consolidation and patents, and to the rising frequency with which patent rights are challenged.

Each quarter as filed, linked to its filing.
Read more* The fourth quarter is the full year less the first three quarters, because the company files the year and not the quarter on its own. A fourth quarter's EPS, and its diluted share count where shown, are from the company's results press release for that quarter, checked against the company's filed figures or a second data source. A quarter marked † is shown as the company last restated it in a later filing, so it compares with the quarters around it on one basis; rest on a figure for the one first filed. EPS is as filed. Money is in $ million as the company files it, or in $ billion by the switch above the tables; per share figures and the share count are as they are. Free cash flow is operating cash flow less capital expenditure; the effective tax rate is income tax over pre-tax income; margins are the line over revenue. Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue, and operating income is revenue less the company's own total costs, where the statement does not print those lines. Cash flow lines filed year to date are the difference between two filings. Shares outstanding are at the period end where the balance sheet tags them, otherwise the count on the filing's cover page. A derived fourth-quarter EPS is left blank when a split in the year makes the arithmetic meaningless.

Read moreBoth totals are the company's own. Other liabilities is the filed total less the rows above it: payables, deferred revenue, taxes, borrowings the rows above do not carry and the rest; other assets is the same on the other side.

Debt is the company's own stated total where it files one, otherwise its long-term debt with the current maturities, never parts added together. A row is left blank in a year where the lines shown overlap and the remainder would fall below nil.
