For more than 60 years, as a business unit of Pfizer Inc.

Operating Segments The animal health medicines and vaccines market is characterized by meaningful differences in customer needs across different regions. This is due to a variety of factors, including: • economic differences, such as standards of living in developed markets as compared to emerging markets; • cultural differences, such as dietary preferences for different animal proteins, pet ownership preferences and pet care standards; • epidemiological differences, such as the prevalence of certain bacterial and viral strains and disease dynamics; • treatment differences, such as utilization of different types of medicines and vaccines, as well as the pace of adoption of new technologies; • environmental differences, such as seasonality, climate and the availability of arable land and fresh water; and • regulatory differences, such as standards for product approval and manufacturing. As a result of these differences, among other things, we organize and operate our business in two segments: the United States and International. Within each of these operating segments, we offer a diversified product portfolio for both livestock and companion animal customers so that we can capitalize on local trends and customer needs. Our operating segments are: • United States with revenue of $2,447 million, or 50% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016; and • International with revenue of $2,390 million, or 49% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016.
