Despite their diversity and highly fragmented nature, the European markets share many characteristics that allow us to leverage our pan-European presence and broad portfolio. Global customers are important partners in our generic business and are expanding across Europe, although customer consolidation is lower than in the United States. We are one of a few generic pharmaceutical companies with a pan-European footprint, while most of our competitors focus on a select few markets or business lines.

International Markets

Our International Markets segment includes all countries in which we operate other than those in our North America and Europe segments. The International Markets segment includes more than 35 countries, covering a substantial portion of the global pharmaceutical market.

Our key international markets are Japan, Russiaindustry. As part of a recent shift in executive management responsibilities, commencing January 1, 2024, Canada will be reported under our International Markets segment and Israel. In Japan, we operate a majoritywill no longer be included as part of our business through a business venture with Takeda Pharmaceutical Companies Limited (“Takeda”), in which we own a 51% stake and Takeda owns the remaining 49%.

The countries in our International Markets segment include highly regulated, pure generic markets, such as Israel, branded generics orientedgenerics-oriented markets, such as Russia and certain Latin America markets, and hybrid markets, such as Japan. Each market’s strategy is built upon differentiation and filling the unmet needs of that market. Our integrated sales force enables us to extract synergies across our branded generic, OTC and specialtyinnovative medicines product offerings and across various channels (e.g., retail, institutional).

Pivot to Growth Strategy

In May 2023, we introduced our new “Pivot to Growth” strategy, which is based on four key pillars: (i) delivering on our growth engines, mainly AUSTEDO, AJOVY, UZEDY and our late-stage pipeline of biosimilars; (ii) stepping up innovation through delivering on our late-stage innovative pipeline assets as well as building up our early-stage pipeline organically and potentially through business development activities; (iii) sustaining our generics medicines powerhouse with a global commercial footprint, focused portfolio, pipeline and manufacturing footprint; and (iv) focusing our business by optimizing our portfolio and global manufacturing footprint to enable strategic capital deployment to accelerate our near and long-term growth engines and reorganizing certain of our business units to a more optimal structure, while also reorganizing key business units to enhance operational efficiency.

Our Product Portfolio and Business Offering

Our product and service portfolio includes generic medicines, biopharmaceuticals, specialtyinnovative medicines, OTC products, a distribution business, API and contract manufacturing. Each region manages the entire range of products and services offered in its region and our global marketinggenerics, biosimilars and portfolio function optimizesinnovative franchise units optimize our pipeline and product lifecycle across therapeutic areas. In most markets in which we operate, we use an integrated and comprehensive marketing model, offering a broad portfolio of products, including specialty,innovative medicines, generic products, biosimilars and OTC products.

As part of our Pivot to Growth strategy, we intend to divest our API business in the first half of 2025 in order to focus on our core business strengths and capital allocation towards growth engines and innovation.

Generic Medicines

Generic medicines are the chemical and therapeutic equivalents of originator medicines and are typically more affordable in comparison to the originator’s products. Generics are required to meet similar governmental requirements as their brand-name equivalents, such as those relating to current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”), manufacturing processes and health authorities’ inspections, and must receive regulatory approval prior to their sale in any given country. Generic medicines may be manufactured and marketed if relevant patents on their brand-name equivalents (and any additional government-mandated market exclusivity periods) have expired or have been challenged or otherwise circumvented.

Table of Contents

We develop, manufacture and sell generic medicines in a variety of dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, injectables, inhalants, liquids, transdermal patches, ointments and creams. We offer a broad range of basic chemical entities, as well as specialized product families, such as sterile products, hormones, high-potency drugs and cytotoxic substances, in both parenteral and solid dosage forms. We also offer generic products with medical devices and combination products.

Our generics business has a wide-reaching commercial presence. We have a top three leadership position in many countries, including the United States and some key European markets. We have a robust product portfolio, comprehensive R&D capabilities and product pipeline and a global operational network, which enables us to execute key generic launches to further expand our product pipeline and diversify our revenue stream. We use these capabilities to help overcome price erosion in our generics business.

When considering whether to develop a generic medicine, we take into account a number of factors, including our overall strategy, regional and local patient and customer needs, R&D and manufacturing capabilities, regulatory considerations, commercial factors and the intellectual property landscape. We will challenge patents when appropriate if we believe they are either invalid or would not be infringed by our generic version. We may seek alliances to acquire rights to products we do not have in our portfolio, to share development costs or litigation risks, or to resolve patent and regulatory barriers to entry.

Between 2017 and 2019, we substantially optimized

We have been optimizing our global generics portfolio particularly in the United States, through product discontinuation and price adjustments, with a focus on increasing profitability.high-value generics, including complex generics. This resulted in the restructuring

activities and optimization of our global generics portfolio, to support our Pivot to Growth strategy.

In markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands and Israel, generic medicines may be substituted by the pharmacist for their brand name equivalent or prescribed by International Nonproprietary Name (“INN”). In these so-called “pure generic” markets, physicians and patients have little control over the choice of generic manufacturer, and consequently generic medicines are not actively marketed or promoted to physicians or consumers. Instead, the relationship between the manufacturer and pharmacy chains, and distributors, health funds and other health insurers is critical. Many of these markets have automatic substitution models when generics are available as alternatives to brands. In Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and certain Latin American and European countries, generic medicines are generally sold under brand names alongside the originator brand. These markets are referred to as “branded generic” markets and in certain cases are “out of pocket” markets in which consumers can pay for a particular branded generic medicine (as opposed to government or privately funded medical health insurance), often at the recommendation of their physician. Branded generic products are actively promoted and a sales force is necessary to create and maintain brand awareness. Other markets, such as Germany, Japan, France, Italy and Spain, are hybrid markets with elements of both approaches.

Our position in the generics market is supported by our global R&D function, as well as our API R&D and manufacturing activities, which provide significant vertical integration for our products.

For information about our product launches and pipeline of generic medicines in North America and Europe, see “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Segment Information—North America Segment” and “Item 7—Management’s Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Segment Information—Europe Segment.”

Biologic medicines are large and complex medicines produced by or made from living cells or organisms, often produced using cutting-edge biotechnological methods. Biosimilars are highly similar to the reference biologic, in both structure and function (e.g., pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, safety, efficacy and immunogenicity) and, for any approved uses, have no clinically meaningful differences from the reference product in terms of safety, purity, and potency.

We deploy medical and sales and marketing professionals within specific therapeutic areas who seek to address the needs of patients and healthcare professionals. We tailor our patient support, payer relations and medical affairs activities to the distinct characteristics of each therapeutic area and medicine.

The U.S. market is the most significant market in our specialtyinnovative medicines business. In Europe and International Markets, we leverage existing synergies between our specialtyinnovative medicines business and our generics and OTC businesses. Our specialtyinnovative medicines presence in International Markets is mainly built on our CNS, respiratory and oncology medicines.

We have built specialized “Patient Support Programs” to help patients adhere to their treatments, improve patient outcomes and, in certain markets, to ensure timely delivery of medicines and assist in securing reimbursement. These programs reflect the importance we place on supporting patients and ensuring better medical outcomes for them. Patient Support Programs are currently operated in many countries around the world in multiple therapeutic areas. We believe that it is important to provide a range of services and solutions tailored to meet the needs of patients according to their specific condition and local market requirements. We believe this capability provides an important competitive advantage in the specialtyinnovative medicines market.

various countries in our International Markets segment. AJOVY was launched in Japan in August 2021. By the end of 2021, we launched AJOVY in most European countries and in certain International Markets countries. We are moving forward with plans to launch in other countries around the world.
���
Our auto-injector device for AJOVY became commercially available in the U.S. in April 2020 and in Canada in April 2021. We have also received approval from the EMA for AJOVY’s auto-injector submission in the European Union in October 2019, and we commenced launch in March 2020.
AJOVY is the only anti-CGRP subcutaneous product indicated for quarterly treatment.
AJOVY is protected by patents expiring in 2026 in Europe and in 2027 in the United States. Applications for patent term extensions have been submitted in various markets around the world, and certain extensions in Europe and other countries have already been granted until 2031. Additional patents relating to the use of AJOVY in the treatment of migraine have also been issued in the United States and will expire between 2035 and 2039. Such patents are also pending in other countries. AJOVY will also be protected by regulatory exclusivity for 12 years from marketing approval in the United States and 10 years from marketing approval in Europe.
We have filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that Eli Lilly & Co.’s (“Lilly”) marketing and sale of its galcanezumab product for the treatment of migraine infringes nine Teva patents. Lilly then submitted inter partes review (“IPR”) petitions to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”), challenging the validity of the nine patents asserted against it in the litigation. The litigation in the district court was stayed pending resolution of the IPR petitions. On February 18, 2020, the PTAB issued decisions on the first six IPRs, finding the six composition of matter patents invalid as being obvious. On March 31, 2020, the PTAB issued a decision upholding the three method of treatment patents. On August 16, 2021, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed all of the PTAB’s decisions. The litigation is proceeding as to the three method of treatment patents and a trial is expected in 2022. We also filed another suit against Lilly on June 8, 2021, asserting two patents recently granted to Teva, related to the treatment of refractory migraine. Lilly responded to the complaint with a motion to dismiss, which Teva is opposing. In addition, in 2018 we entered into separate agreements with Alder Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. and Lilly resolving the European Patent Office oppositions that they filed against our AJOVY patents. The settlement agreement with Lilly also resolved Lilly’s action to revoke the patent protecting AJOVY in the United Kingdom.
AUSTEDO

AUSTEDO (deutetrabenazine) is a deuterated form of a small molecule inhibitor of vesicular monoamine 2 transporter, or VMAT2, that is designed to regulate the levels of a specific neurotransmitter, dopamine, in the brain. The FDA granted deutetrabenazine New Chemical Entity exclusivity until April 2022 and Orphan Drug exclusivity for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington’s disease until AprilOctober 2024.

AUSTEDO was launched in the U.S. in 2017. It is indicated for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington’s disease and for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia in adults, which is a debilitating, often irreversible movement disorder caused by certain medications used to treat mental health or gastrointestinal conditions.

AUSTEDO was launched in China for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington’s disease and for the treatment of tardive dyskinesiaIsrael in early 2021. In October 2021 we received marketing approval for both indicationsand in Brazil.Brazil in 2022. We continue with additional submissions in various other countries around the world.

AUSTEDO is protected in the United States by seven12 Orange Book patents expiring between 2031 and 2038 and in Europe by two patents expiring in 2029.2038. We received notice letters from two ANDA filers regarding the filing of their ANDAs with paragraph (IV) certifications for certain of the patents listed in the Orange Book for AUSTEDO. On July 1, 2021, we filed claims against two generic ANDA filers, Aurobindo and Lupin, in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. In addition, Apotex filed a petition for inter partes review (“IPR”) by the Patent and Trial Appeal Board (“PTAB”) of the patent covering the deutetrabenazine compound that expires in 2031. On March 9, 2022, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office denied Apotex’s petition and declined to institute a review of the deutetrabenazine patent. On April 29, 2022 and June 8, 2022, we reached agreements with Lupin and Aurobindo, respectively, to sell their generic products beginning in April 2033, or earlier under certain circumstances. There are no further patent litigations pending regarding AUSTEDO.

AUSTEDO XR (deutetrabenazine) extended-release tablets was approved by the FDA on February 17, 2023, and became commercially available in the U.S. in May 2023. AUSTEDO XR is a new once-daily

During 2019, AJOVY was granted a marketing authorization in the European Union by the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) in a centralized process and began receiving marketing authorizations in various countries in our International Markets segment. By the end of 2023, we launched AJOVY in most European countries and in certain countries within our International Markets segment, such as Japan, Australia, Israel, South Korea, Brazil and others. We are moving forward with plans to launch in other countries around the world.

Our auto-injector device for AJOVY became commercially available in the U.S. in April 2020 and in Canada in April 2021. We have also received approval from the EMA for AJOVY’s auto-injector submission in the European Union in October 2019, and we commenced launch in March 2020.

AJOVY is the only anti-CGRP subcutaneous product indicated for quarterly treatment.

AJOVY is protected worldwide by patents expiring in 2026 at the earliest; extensions have been granted in several countries, including the United States and in Europe, until 2031. Additional patents relating to the use of AJOVY in the treatment of migraine have also been issued in the United States and will expire between 2035 and 2039. Such patents are also pending in other countries. AJOVY will also be protected by regulatory exclusivity for 12 years from marketing approval in the United States (obtained in September 2018) and 10 years from marketing approval in Europe (obtained in April 2019).

In October 2017, we filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that Eli Lilly & Co.’s (“Lilly”) marketing and sale of its galcanezumab product for the treatment of migraine infringes nine Teva patents, including three method of treatment patents and six composition of matter patents. Lilly then submitted IPR petitions to the PTAB, challenging the validity of the nine Teva patents. The PTAB issued decisions upholding the three method of treatment patents but finding the six composition of matter patents invalid, which decisions were affirmed by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on August 16, 2021. A jury trial regarding the three method of treatment patents resulted in a verdict in Teva’s favor on November 9, 2022, in which the three method of treatment patents were determined to be valid and infringed by Lilly, and Teva was awarded $176.5 million in damages. On September 26, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts issued a decision that reversed the jury’s verdict and damages award, finding Teva’s method of treatment patents to be invalid. Teva is appealing this decision and filed a Notice of Appeal on October 24, 2023.

On June 8, 2021, we filed a second lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that Lilly’s marketing and sale of galcanezumab product infringes two patents related to the treatment of refractory migraine. This second litigation was stayed pending resolution of Lilly’s IPR petitions challenging the patentability of these two patents. On September 25, 2023, the PTAB issued its written decision invalidating these two patents. On October 11, 2023, the PTAB issued its written decision invalidating a third patent also related to the treatment of refractory migraine based on another Lilly IPR petition. Teva did not appeal the PTAB decision and on November 28, 2023, the patent litigation involving the refractory migraine patents was dismissed.

In addition, in 2018 we entered into separate agreements with Alder Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. and Lilly resolving the European Patent Office oppositions that they filed against our AJOVY patents. The settlement agreement with Lilly also resolved Lilly’s action to revoke the patent protecting AJOVY in the United Kingdom.

COPAXONE

COPAXONE

COPAXONE (glatiramer acetate injection) continues to play a majoran important role in the treatment of MS in the United States (according to IQVIA data as of late 2021).2023) and in Europe. COPAXONE is indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsing forms of MS (“RMS”), including the reduction of the frequency of relapses in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (“RRMS”), including in patients who have experienced a first clinical episode and have MRI features consistent with MS.

COPAXONE is believed to have a unique mechanism of action that works with the immune system, unlike many therapies that are believed to rely on general immune suppression or cell sequestration to exert their effect. COPAXONE provides a proven mix of efficacy, safety and tolerability.

One European patent protecting COPAXONE 40 mg/mL was found invalid by the Board of Appeal of the European Patent Office in September 2020. Two additional patents expiring in 2030 were found invalid at the European Patent Office in December 2021.

In certain European countries, Teva remains in litigation against generic companies on an additional COPAXONE 40 mg/mL patent that expires in 2030.

In December 2018, Teva sued Pharmascience regarding its application to sell a generic version of COPAXONE in Canada. In December 2020, the Canadian Federal Court issued a decision finding the 2028 method of use patent invalid and the 2030 dosing regimen patent valid and infringed. In January 2022, the Canadian Federal Court of Appeals affirmed Teva’s victory against Pharmascience on the 2030 dosing regimen patent. A re-examination proceeding initiated by Pharmascience at the Canadian Patent office that had been stayed, may resume. We previously settled our Canadian litigation with Sandoz, regarding their application for a generic version of COPAXONE in Canada. Additionally, a case against Mylan with respect to its Canadian application for a generic version of COPAXONE was stayed pending the outcome of the Pharmascience appeal, and may resume. Mylan’s 24-month stay for its product will likely be extended at least until 2023.COPAXONE.

In July 2018, Eagle prevailed in its suit against the FDA to obtain seven years of orphan drug exclusivity in the United States for BENDEKA. On March 13, 2020, this decision was upheld in the appellate court. As things currently stand, drug applications referencing BENDEKA, TREANDA or any other bendamustine product will not be approved by the FDA until the orphan drug exclusivity expires in December 2022.

In April 2019, we signed an amendment to the license agreement with Eagle extending the royalty term applicable to the United States to the full period for which we sell BENDEKA and increased the royalty rate. In consideration, Eagle agreed to assume a portion of BENDEKA-related patent litigation expenses.

There are 1617 patents listed in the U.S. Orange Book for BENDEKA with expiryexpiration dates betweenin 2026 and 2031. In September 2019, a patent infringement action against four of six ANDA filers for generic versions of BENDEKA was tried inApril 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. On April 27, 2020, the district court upheldDelaware issued a trial decision upholding the validity of all of the asserted patents and foundfinding that all four ANDA filers for generic versions of BENDEKA infringe at least one of the patents. Three of the four ANDA filers appealed the district court decision. Teva settled with one of the three ANDA filers that appealed the district court’s decision, and on August 13, 2021, the Federal Circuit issued a Rule 36 affirmance of the district court decision with respect to the other two filers. On December 14, 2021, Apotex filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court.such decision. Litigation against the fifth ANDA filer was dismissed after the withdrawal of its patent challenge, and on October 18, 2021, the case against a sixth ANDA filer was also settled. Recent suits

Teva also settled litigations against twothree 505(b)(2) applicants, Hospira, Inc. (“Hospira”), Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (“DRL”) and Accord Healthcare (“Accord”).

Results for two phase 3 clinical trials, FACT OA1 and FACT OA2, were released on August 5, 2020, indicating that the co-primary endpoints for fasinumab 1 mg monthly were achieved. Fasinumab 1 mg monthly demonstrated significant improvements in pain and physical function over placebo at week 16 and week 24, respectively. Fasinumab 1 mg monthly also showed nominally significant benefits in physical function in two trials and pain in one trial, when compared to the maximum FDA-approved prescription doses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for osteoarthritis. The FACT OA1 trial included an additionaleosinophilic phenotype.

Pharmaceutical Production

We operate 4036 finished dosage and packaging pharmaceutical plants in 27 countries. These plants manufacture solid dosage forms, sterile injectables, liquids, semi-solids, inhalers, transdermal patches and other medicinal products. In 2021,2023, we produced approximately 7677 billion tablets and capsules and approximately 680573 million sterile units.

The manufacturing sites located in North America, Europe, Latin America, India and Israel make up the majority of our production capacity.

We use several external contract manufacturers to achieve operational and cost benefits. We continue to strengthen our third partythird-party operations unit to strategically work with our supplier base in order to meet cost, supply security and quality targets on a sustainable basis in alignment with our global procurement organization.

Our policy is to maintain multiple supply sources for APIs to appropriately mitigate risk in our supply chain to the extent possible. However, our ability to do so may be limited by regulatory and other requirements.

Between 2017 and 2019,

In recent years, we closed or divested a significant number of manufacturing plants in the United States, Europe, Israel and Japan in connection with a restructuring plan. We are continuing our ongoing efforts to consolidate our manufacturing and supply network.

Raw Materials for Pharmaceutical Production

In general, we purchase our raw materials and supplies required for the production of our products in the open market. For some products, we purchase such raw materials and supplies from one source (the only source available to us) or a single source (the only approved source among many available to us), thereby requiring us to obtain such raw materials and supplies from that particular source. We attempt, ifmitigate, where possible, to mitigate our raw material supply risks through inventory management and alternative sourcing strategies. See also “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Environment.”

Quality

We are committed not only to complying with quality requirements but to developing and leveraging quality as a competitive advantage. In 2021,2023, we completed numerous inspections by various regulatory agencies of our finished dosage pharmaceutical and API plants and we actively engaged in discussions with authorities to mitigate drug shortages and participated in several industry-wide task forces. We continue to focus on maintaining a solid and sustainable quality compliance foundation, as well as making quality a priority to foster continuous compliance. We seek to ensure that quality is an embedded part of our corporate culture and is reflected in all of our daily operations, delivering reliable and high quality products.

For information regarding significant regulatory events, see note 15 to our consolidated financial statements.

Competition

Sales of generic medicines have benefitted from increasing awareness and acceptance on the part of healthcare insurers and institutions, consumers, physicians and pharmacists around the world. Factors contributing to this increased awareness are the passage of legislation permitting or encouraging generic substitution and the publication by regulatory authorities of lists of equivalent pharmaceuticals, which provide physicians and pharmacists with generic alternatives. In addition, various government agencies and many private managed care or insurance programs encourage the substitution of brand-name pharmaceuticals with generic products as a cost-savings measure in the purchase of, or reimbursement for, prescription pharmaceuticals.

In the United States, we are subject to competition in the generic drug market from domestic and international generic drug manufacturers and brand-name pharmaceutical companies through introduction of

15

Table of Contents
next-generation medicines, authorized generics, existing brand equivalents and manufacturers of therapeutically similar drugs. An increase in FDA approvals for existing generic products is increasing the competition on our base generic products. Price competition from additional generic versions of the same product typically results in margin pressures, which is causing some generics companies to increase focus on portfolio efficiency.

The European market continues to be even more competitive, especially in terms of pricing, higher quality standards, customer service and portfolio relevance. We are one of only a few companies with a pan-European footprint, while most of our European competitors focus on a limited number of selected markets or business lines. Our leadership position in Europe allows us to be a reliable partner to fulfill the needs of patients, physicians, pharmacies, customers and payers.

In our International Markets, our global scale and broad portfolio give us a significant competitive advantage over local competitors, allowing us to optimize our offerings through a combination of high qualityhigh-quality medicines and unique go-to-market approaches.

Furthermore, in significant markets such as Japan and Russia, governments have issued or are in process of issuing regulations designed to increase generic penetration. Specifically, in Japan, ongoing regulatory pricing reductions and generic competition to off-patented products have negatively affected our sales in Japan. These conditions result in intense competition in the generic market,generics, with generic companies competing for advantage based on pricing, time to market, reputation and customer service.

The biosimilars marketbusiness is also highly competitive and continues to evolve as intellectual property protections for biological products continue to expire in the United States. While we believe that our biologics knowledge and experience provide us with competitive advantages, we anticipate significant competition in the biosimilar space. Risks related to commercialization of our prospective biosimilars include the number of competitors, potential for steeper than anticipated price erosion, and intellectual property challenges that may impact timely commercialization. There is also a risk of lower or slower uptake due to various factors that may differ among biosimilars such as competitive practices, physician hesitancy to prescribe biosimilars for certain therapeutic areas, and level of financial incentives (payer or government). We anticipate that the downward pressure on uptake may ease in the future as physicians and payers become increasingly aware of the benefits of biosimilars and more comfortable prescribing them.

Despite the onsetcircumstances, we maintained full business continuity with uninterrupted supply of the pandemic, we quickly established a comprehensive management system to control risks and support employees. Dedicated teams procured personal protective equipment, cleaning and disinfectant agents and other consumables. We reduced the number of employees present in our facilities to enable social distancing by introducing virtual solutions and flexible work arrangements. Operational controls procedures outlined minimum standards for a range of activities, including essential business travel, risk reduction through onsite controls, protection of vulnerable colleagues, information, instruction and training for everyone entering physical sites, visitor and contractor screenings, case reporting and management, and facility cleaning. Those working from home received detailed ergonomic guidelines and were encouraged to use office equipment for their remote setup.
During 2021, in countries where it was safe and appropriate, we took a gradual and cautious approach to returning employees to office locations. Employees generally returned in a hybrid “capsule” approach. A limited number of employees would come to the office on the same set days per week to mitigate exposure and to enable social distancing. In addition, in countries where it was safe and appropriate to return fully to the office, we updated our global remote work policy, for relevant employees, allowing employees to work remotely for up to two days per week, instead of one day per week.

Noncompliance with applicable requirements may result in fines, criminal penalties, civil injunction against shipment of products, recall and seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production, sale or import of products, refusal of the government to enter into supply contracts or to approve NDAs, ANDAs or BLAs and criminal prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”). The FDA also has the authority to deny or revoke approvals of marketing applications and the power to halt the operations of non-complying manufacturers. Any failure to comply with applicable FDA policies and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

FDA approval is required before any “new drug” (including generic versions of previously approved drugs) may be marketed, including new strengths, dosage forms and formulations of previously approved drugs. Applications for FDA approval must contain information relating to bioequivalence (for generics), safety, toxicity and efficacy (for new drugs), product formulation, raw material suppliers, stability, manufacturing processes, packaging, labeling and quality control. FDA procedures generally require that commercial manufacturing equipment be used to produce test batches for FDA approval. The FDA also requires validation of manufacturing processes so that a company may market new products. The FDA conducts pre-approval and post-approval reviews and plant inspections to implement these requirements.

The federal CSA and its implementing regulations establish a closed system of controlled substance distribution for legitimate handlers. The CSA imposes registration, security, recordkeeping and reporting, storage, manufacturing, distribution, importation and other requirements upon legitimate handlers under the oversight of the DEA. The DEA categorizes controlled substances into one of five schedules—Schedule I, II, III, IV, or V—with varying qualifications for listing in each schedule. Facilities that manufacture, distribute, conduct chemical analysis, import or export any controlled substance must register annually with the DEA. The DEA performs an inspection of all entities requesting a DEA registration prior to issuing a controlled substance registration for review of the facility and material security, material handling procedures, record keeping, and

20


reporting procedures. The DEA also performs cyclical inspections of all DEA registrants to review accountability, record keeping, and security. Failure to maintain compliance with applicable requirements, particularly as manifested in the loss or diversion of controlled substances, can result in enforcement action, such as civil penalties, refusal to renew necessary registrations or the initiation of proceedings to revoke those registrations. In certain circumstances, violations could lead to criminal prosecution.

The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act (the “Hatch-Waxman Act”) established the procedures for obtaining FDA approval for generic forms of brand-name drugs. This act also provides market exclusivity provisions that can delay the approval of certain NDAs and ANDAs. One such provision allows a five-year period of data exclusivity for NDAs containing new chemical entities and a three-year period of market exclusivity for NDAs (including different dosage forms) containing new clinical trial(s) essential to the approval of the application. The Orphan Drug Act grants seven years of exclusive marketing rights to a specific drug for a specific orphan indication.use. The term “orphan drug” refers, generally, to a drug that treats a rare disease affecting fewer than 200,000 Americans. Market exclusivity provisions are distinct from patent protections and apply equally to patented and non-patented drug products. Another provision of the Hatch-Waxman Act extends certain

20

Table of Contents
patents for up to five years as compensation for the reduction of effective life of the patent which resulted from time spent in clinical trials and time spent by the FDA reviewing a drug application.

Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, any company submitting an ANDA or an NDA under Section 505(b)(2) of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (i.e., an NDA that, similar to an ANDA, relies, in whole or in part, on FDA’s prior approval of another company’s drug product; also known as a “505(b)(2) application”) must make certain certifications with respect to the patent status of the drug for which it is seeking approval. In the event that such applicant plans to challenge the validity or enforceability of an existing listed patent or asserts that the proposed product does not infringe an existing listed patent, it files a “Paragraph IV” certification. In the case of ANDAs, the Hatch-Waxman Act provides for a potential 180-day period of generic exclusivity for the first company to submit an ANDA with a Paragraph IV certification. This filing triggers a regulatory process in which the FDA is required to delay the final approval of subsequently filed ANDAs containing Paragraph IV certifications until 180 days after the first commercial marketing. For both ANDAs and 505(b)(2) applications, when litigation is brought by the patent holder, in response to this Paragraph IV certification, the FDA generally may not approve the ANDA or 505(b)(2) application until the earlier of 30 months or a court decision finding the patent invalid, not infringed or unenforceable. Submission of an ANDA or a 505(b)(2) application with a Paragraph IV certification can result in protracted and expensive patent litigation.

Products manufactured outside the United States and marketed in the United States are subject to all of the above regulations, as well as to FDA, DEA and U.S. customs regulations at the port of entry. Products marketed outside the United States that are manufactured in the United States are additionally subject to various export statutes and regulations, as well as regulation by the country in which the products are to be sold.

Our products also include biopharmaceutical products that are comparable to brand-name biologics, as well as products that are approved as biosimilar versions of brand-name biological products. While regulations are still being developed by the FDA relating to the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009, which created a statutory pathway for the approval of biosimilar versions of brand-name biological products and a process to resolve patent disputes, the FDA has issued guidance to provide a roadmap for development of biosimilar products.

In August 2017,September 2022, the FDA user fee reauthorization legislation, known as the FDAUser Fee Reauthorization Act of 20172022 (“FDARA”FUFRA”) was enacted in the United States. The agreementsFUFRA authorizes the FDA to collect user fees from parties that submit drug, biosimilar or medical device product applications for pharmaceuticals, biosimilars and medical devices were negotiated with industry representatives overreview or that are named in approved applications as the coursesponsor of 2016 to establish the amounts regulated companies would paycertain products. These fees are used by the FDA to support the product review process at the agency. Various fees must be paid by these manufacturers at different times, such as annually and with the submission of different types of applications. In return for this additional funding, the FDA has entered into agreements with each of the affected industries (known as the “user fee agreements”) that commit the agency to interacting with manufacturers and reviewing applications such as NDAs, ANDAs and BLAs in certain ways, and taking action on those applications

21


at certain times. The agency is obligated to set specific timelines to communicate with companies, meet with company product sponsors during the review process and take action on their applications. On the generics side, FDARA established a new 180-day exclusivity for certain generic drugs that are no longer protected by exclusivity or patents, as well as new programs for enhanced and priority review of certain generic drug applications. On the branded side, this was the sixth agreement between the industry and the FDA.

The user fee agreement for biosimilars was reauthorized for the second time as well.

The Patient Protection and Affordable CareInflation Reduction Act and Certain Government Programs

The Patient Protection and Affordable CareInflation Reduction Act (“ACA”IRA”) of 2010 represented the most significant health care reform in the United States in over thirty years. It2022 was passed to require individuals to have health insurance and to control the rate of growth in healthcare spending through, among other things, stronger prevention and wellness measures, increased access to primary care, changes in healthcare delivery systems and the creation of health insurance exchanges. Enrollment in the health insurance exchanges began in October 2013. However, the

21

Table of Contents
individual mandate was subsequently repealed by Congress in the tax reform bill signed into law in December 2017. On June 17, 2021,August 2022. The IRA restructures Medicare’s benefit design and requires manufacturers of certain drugs to engage in price negotiations with Medicare, imposes rebates and discount requirements under Medicare Part B and Medicare Part D, and replaces the Supreme Court dismissed challengesPart D coverage gap discount program with a new discounting program. In particular, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) is directed to negotiate a subset of medicines with the constitutionalityhighest annual expenditures to Medicare Parts B and D that have been on the market for 9 years (or 13 years for biologics) without an available generic (or biosimilar) on the market. Drugs with an available generic or biosimilar, certain drugs that represent a limited portion of the ACA.Medicare program spending, drugs with an orphan designation as their only FDA approved indication, and all plasma-derived products are exempt from direct negotiation. The current administration has focused on improving the quality and availability of health insurance coverage under the ACA through legislative action.
The ACA requires the pharmaceutical industrylaw allows HHS to share in the costs of reform by increasing Medicaid rebates, expanding Medicaid rebates to Medicaid managed care programs and funding of pharmaceutical costs for Medicare patients in excess of the prescription drug coverage limit and below the catastrophic coverage threshold. Commencing 2019, pharmaceutical companies are responsible for funding 70% of the patient obligation for branded prescription pharmaceuticals in this gap, or “donut hole.” Additionally,levy an excise tax was leviedand civil monetary penalties against certain branded pharmaceutical products. non-compliant manufacturers or those who refuse to negotiate.

The tax is specified by statute to be approximately $2.8 billion in 2019IRA also imposes rebate requirements on manufacturers of single-source generics and eachother drugs covered under Medicare Part B and Part D where the price increases of the drug outpaces inflation. Multisource generics and all products with an average manufacturer’s price less than $100 per year, thereafter. The tax is apportioned to qualifying pharmaceutical companies based on an allocation of their governmental programs as a portion of total pharmaceutical government programs.

per individual, are exempt from rebate requirements. The Centers for Medicare &and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) administerwill monitor for products with price increases higher than the rate of inflation on a quarterly basis. Rebates will be calculated as the total number of units sold multiplied by the amount the product exceeds the inflation-adjusted price, with 2021 as the base year to measure cumulative changes relative to inflation. Noncompliant manufacturers will be subject to a civil monetary penalty of at least 125% of the calculated rebate amount.

The CMS administers the Medicaid drug rebate program, in which pharmaceutical manufacturers pay quarterly rebates to each state Medicaid agency. Generally, for generic drugs marketed under ANDAs, manufacturers (including Teva) are required to rebate 13% of the average manufacturer price, and for products marketed under NDAs or BLAs, manufacturers are required to rebate the greater of 23.1% of the average manufacturer price or the difference between such price and the commercial best price during a specified period. An additional rebate for products marketed under ANDAs, NDAs or BLAs is payable if the average manufacturer price increases at a rate higher than inflation and other methodologies apply to new formulations of existing drugs.

Various

All state Medicaid programs have implemented voluntary supplemental drug rebate programs that may provide states with additional manufacturer rebates in exchange for preferred status on a state’s formulary or for patient populations that are not included in the traditional Medicaid drug benefit coverage. In addition, a number of states, including New York, have enacted legislation that requires entities to pay assessments or taxes on the sale or distribution of opioid medications in order to address the misuse of prescription opioid medications.

Finally, a number of states have implemented IRA-like price controls on pharmaceutical manufacturers. These proposals create new authorities for state regulatory bodies to limit reimbursement for certain drugs. Such efforts may expand to additional states.

Europe

General

In Europe, marketing authorizations for pharmaceutical products may be obtained either through a centralized procedure involvingfor a license valid in all member countries of the European Union, which is granted by the EMA, or licenses granted by the national competent authorities via a mutual recognition procedure which requires submission of applications in other chosen member states following approval by a so-called reference member state, a decentralized procedure that entails simultaneous submission of applications to chosen member states or occasionally through a local national procedure.

22


During 2021,2022, we continued to register products in the European Union, primarily using the decentralized procedure (simultaneous submission of applications to chosen member states). We continue to use, on occasion, the mutual recognition and centralized procedures.

The European pharmaceutical industry is highly regulated and much of the legislative and regulatory framework is driven by the European Commission, together with the European Parliament and the European Commission.Council of Europe. This has many benefits, including the potential to harmonize standards across the complex European market, but it also has the potential to create complexities affecting the entire European market.

European Union

The medicines regulatory framework of the European Union requires that medicinal products, including generic versions of previously approved products and new strengths, dosage forms and formulations of

22

Table of Contents
previously approved products, receive a marketing authorization before they can be placed on the market in the European Union. Authorizations are granted after a favorable assessment of quality, safety and efficacy by the respective health authorities. In order to obtain authorization, application must be made to the EMA or to the competent authority of the member state concerned. Besides variousTo comply with formal requirements, the application must contain the resultsquality related information of pharmaceutical (physico-chemical,the product (chemical, physical, biological or microbiological) tests, pre-clinicaland microbiological data, information about manufacturing process, raw materials, packaging and labelling data, quality control procedures), data confirming product safety (toxicological and pharmacological) testspharmacological information), and product efficacy information (clinical studies or clinical trials. All of these tests must have been conducted in accordance with relevant European regulations and must allow the reviewer to evaluate the quality, safety and efficacy of the medicinal product.
trials).

In order to control expenditures on pharmaceuticals, most member states of the European Union regulate the pricing of such products and in some cases limit the range of different forms of a drug available for prescription by national health services. These controls can result in considerable price differences among member states.

In addition to patent protection, exclusivity provisions in the European Union may prevent companies from applying for marketing approval for a generic product for eight years (or ten years for orphan medicinal products) from the date of the first marketing authorization of the original product in the European Union. Further, the generic product will be barred from market entry (marketing exclusivity) for a further two years, with the possibility of extending the market exclusivity by one additional year under certain circumstances.

As part of the European Commission’s review of the general pharmaceutical legislation, the provisions relating to regulatory exclusivity are currently under review. Proposed changes have been published in 2023, although the implementation date and transitional provisions remain unclear.

The term of certain pharmaceutical patents may be extended in the European Union by up to five years upon grant of Supplementary Patent Certificates (“SPC”). The purpose of this extension is to increase effective patent life (i.e., the period between grant of a marketing authorization and patent expiry)expiration) to 15 years.

Subject to the respective pediatric regulation, the holder of an SPC may obtain a further patent term extension of up to six months under certain conditions. This six-month period cannot be claimed if the license holder claims a one-year extension of the period of marketing exclusivity based on the grounds that a new pediatric indication brings a significant clinical benefit in comparison with other existing therapies.

In July 2019, the SPC Manufacturing Waiver Regulation came into force in the European Union (subject to certain conditions) allowing products manufactured prior to SPC expiryexpiration to be exempt from SPC infringement if such products are manufactured for export to non-European Union markets or for launch in the European Union upon expiryexpiration of the SPC. This waiver will applyapplies from July 2, 2022 to all SPCs that comecame into effect after July 1, 2019 or, if the SPC was applied for after July 1, 2019, from the date the SPC comes into effect.

This legislation is due to be reviewed prior to July 2024.

Orphan designated products, which receive, under certain conditions, a blanket period of ten years of market exclusivity, may receive an additional two years of exclusivity instead of an extension of the SPC if the requirements of the pediatric regulation are met. The criteria and protection period for orphan designated products are currently under review by the European Commission, as part of the review of the general pharmaceutical legislation referred to above.

The legislation also allows for R&D work during the patent term for the purpose of developing and submitting registration dossiers.

Medical Devices

Although not subject to FDA regulation as standalone medical devices, certain of our products are regulated as medical devices in the European Union. In 2017, the European Union adopted the European Union Medical Device Regulation (“EU MDR”), replacing the prior European Union Medical Device Directive (“EU MDD”) framework. The EU MDR specifies new risk classification rules, as well as changes to clinical studies, post-marketing surveillance, device traceability and oversight by notified bodies. The EU MDR became applicable on May 26, 2021. DevicesTransitional provisions (which were extended in early 2023) apply to the marketing of devices certified under the prior EU MDD regime may continue to be first placedunder certain conditions and depending on the market whilst their certificates remain valid provided there are no significant changes in the design or intended purpose; however, any devices placed on the market for the first time after May 27, 2024 must comply in full with EU MDR.

In the U.K., the EU MDD, as adopted into U.K. law, remains applicable to all medical devices.

devices, although new UK legislation relating to medical devices is expected in 2024.

International Markets

In addition to regulations in the United States and Europe, we, and our partners, are subject to a variety of regulations in other jurisdictions governing, among other things, clinical trials and any commercial sales, marketing and distribution of our products. Such regulations may be similar or, in some cases, more stringent than those applicable in the United States and Europe.

Whether or not we, or our partners, obtain FDA approval for a product, we must obtain the requisite approvals from regulatory authorities in foreign countries prior to the commencement of clinical trials or marketing of such product in those countries. The requirements and processes governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary from country to country. In addition, we, and our partners, may be subject to foreign laws and regulations and other compliance requirements, including, without limitation, anti-kickback laws, false claims laws and other fraud and abuse laws, as well as laws and regulations requiring transparency of pricing and marketing information and governing the privacy and security of personal information. SeveralThe vast majority of the countries in which we market our products have enacted and/or amended privacy regulation. In 2021, new privacy legislation took effect in The People Republic of China, South Africa and Belarus. We and our partners are implementing measures as needed to comply with such privacy requirements.

If we, or our partners, fail to comply with applicable foreign regulatory requirements, we may be subject to, among other things, fines, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution.

Miscellaneous Regulatory Matters

We are subject to various national, regional and local laws of general applicability, such as laws regulating working conditions. We are also subject to country specific data protection laws and regulations applicable to the

24


collection and processing of personal data around the world. In addition, we are subject to various national, regional and local environmental protection laws and regulations, including those governing the emission of material into the environment.ESG related matters, such as mandatory reporting and due diligence obligations. We are also subject to various national, regional and local laws regulating how we interact with healthcare professionals and representatives of government that impact our promotional and other commercial activities. Additionally, we may be subject in the future to various new national, regional and local laws and regulations, such as the NIS2 Directive, and the EUCyber Resilience Act, the Digital Services Act, the Data Act, the Data Governance Act, the California Climate Corporate Date Accountability Act, the California Climate-Related Financial Risk Act, the EU’s Directive No. 2464/2022 on Corporate Sustainability Reporting (“CSRD”), the European Health Data Space or the revision of the European Pharmaceutical Legislation (both not yet agreed), which could impact our business activities.

activities and processes.

Data exclusivity provisions exist in many countries around the world and may be introduced in additional countries in the future, although their application is not uniform. In general, these exclusivity provisions prevent

24

Table of Contents
the approval and/or submission of generic drug applications to the health authorities for a fixed period of time following the first approval of the brand-name product in that country. As these exclusivity provisions operate independently of patent exclusivity, they may prevent the submission of generic drug applications for some products even after the patent protection has expired.
As a practical result of the “Schrems II” ruling by

In July 2020, the European Court of Justice whichin a case known as “Schrems II”, invalidated the adequacy of the EU-US Privacy Shield Certification Programme under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and called into question the European Data Protection Board has clarified that companies must verify, on a case-by-case basis, andframework in collaboration withwhich personal data importerscan be transferred from the EU to outside the EEA, whether the law of the importer’s country ensures a level of protection for the personal data that is essentially equivalent to the EEA’s protections. If not, data exporters will need to assess whether they can implement supplementary measures to help ensure the requisite level of protection.EU. As a result, companies are now required to conduct and document comprehensive data transfer assessments, before allowing any personal data to flow from the EU to outside the EU under one of the permitted mechanisms of Chapter V of the GDPR, and if supplementary measures cannot address an adequate level of protection, then such transfers shall be restricted. Teva continues to align our data mapping documentation and conduct such data transfer assessments in line with these requirements and to update existing Standard Contractual Clauses allowing for data transfers to align with the new templates released byIn July 2023, the European Commission determined that the Data Privacy Framework (“DPF”), a replacement for the invalidated EU-US Privacy Shield, ensures an adequate level of protection for EU personal data transferred to the United States. Today, many other countries outside the EU are also implementing their own personal data transfer framework, and as such we continue to monitor global developments to address requirements regarding international data transfers. On December 8, 2023, the EU Council, Parliament and Commission reached an agreement on the proposed EU Artificial Intelligence Act, which will regulate companies’ use of artificial intelligence systems. We are continuously monitoring developments and the final act to understand the impact on our business and operations and we have already begun preparing for this.

In the United States, the legislative and regulatory landscape for data privacy and protection continues to evolve with an increasing focus on privacy and data protection issues. There are numerous federal and state laws and regulations governing the collection, use, processing and protection of personal data. Most states have data security breach laws requiring data protection measures and potentially requiring notification to regulators and impacted consumers. The Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (collectively, “HIPAA”) mandates the adoption of specific standards for electronic transactions and code sets that are used to transmit certain types of health information. HIPAA also sets forth federal rules protecting the privacy and security of protected health information (“PHI”). The law provides both criminal and civil fines and penalties for covered entities that fail to comply with HIPAA. In 2009, the law was amended to impose certain of the HIPAA privacy and security requirements directly upon business associates of covered entities and significantly increased the monetary penalties for violations of HIPAA. During 2022, certain of Teva’s U.S. entities have become subject to HIPAA as business associates. We have established administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of PHI maintained or transmitted by such entities.

Numerous states have or are in 2021.the process of enacting state level data privacy laws and regulations governing the collection, use and processing of personal data. Additionally, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) established a privacy framework for covered businesses by creating an expanded definition of personal information, establishing new data privacy rights for consumers in the State of California, imposing special rules on the collection of consumer data from minors, and creating a new and potentially severe statutory

25


damages framework for violations of the CCPA and for businesses that fail to implement reasonable security procedures and practices to prevent data breaches. Further, the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), effective January 1, 2023 (with certain provisions having retroactive effect to January 1, 2022), creates additional obligations with respect to processing and storing personal information. While clinical trial data and information governed by HIPAA are currently exempt from the current versions of the CCPA and CPRA, other personal information may be applicable and possible changes to the CCPA and CPRA may broaden its scope.

In October 2015, the European Commission adopted regulations providing detailed rules for the safety features appearing on the packaging of medicinal products for human use. This legislation, part of the Falsified Medicines Directive (“FMD”), is intended to prevent counterfeit medicines entering into the supply chain and will allow wholesale distributors and others who supply medicines to the public to verify the authenticity of the medicine at the level of the individual pack. The safety features comprise a unique identifier and a tamper-evident seal on the outer packaging, which are to be applied to certain categories of medicines. FMD is effective as of February 2019. Teva’s packaging sites, distribution centers and contract manufacturing operators (“CMOs”) for the European market comply with this new requirement.

In November 2013, the federal Drug Supply Chain Security Act (the “DSCSA”) became effective in the United States, mandating an industry-wide, national serializationelectronic, interoperable system forto trace prescription drugs through the pharmaceutical packagingdistribution supply chain with a ten-year phase-in process. By November 2018, all manufacturers and re-packagers were required to mark each prescription drug package with a unique serialized code. Per the enhanced drug distribution security section of DSCSA, manufacturers were required by November 2023 to have systems and processes in place to verify product at the package level and electronically provide package level serial number details to downstream trading partners. Although the FDA announced in August 2023 a one-year of enforcement discretion for these enhanced requirements, Teva’s packing sites, distribution centers and CMOs for the U.S. market comply with the new requirements. In addition, under the DSCSA, Teva is required by November 2023, to provide to downstream trading partners, serial number specific transaction details. This will require additional modification to the packing sites, distribution centers and CMOs for the U.S. market. Subsequently,Additionally, in February 2019, the EU enacted the Falsified Medicines Directive (“FMD”), traceability requirements for drug products, which Teva complies with as well. Other countries are following suit with variations of two main requirements: (i) to be able to associate the unit data with the uniquely-identified shipping package, or (ii) to report the data for tracking and tracing of products, reimbursements and other purposes. Certain countries, such as Russia, China, Korea, Turkey, Argentina, Brazil and India (for exported products), already have laws mandating serialization and aggregation and we are working to comply with these requirements. Other countries, including India (domestic market), Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Taiwan, Ukraine and other Latin American countries are currently considering mandating similar requirements.

Risks related to our ability to successfully compete in the marketplace

Sales of our generic medicines comprise a significant portion of our business, and we are subject to the significant risks associated with the generic pharmaceutical business.

Sales of our generics medicines have historically represented and are expected to continue to represent a significant portion of our business. In 2021,2023, total revenues from sales of our generic medicines in all our business segments were $8,986$8,734 million, or 57%55% of our total revenues. GenericAs part of our Pivot to Growth strategy, we intend to focus on a prioritized portfolio and pipeline of high-value generics opportunities. However, generic pharmaceuticals are, as a general matter, less profitable than specialty pharmaceuticals,innovative medicines, and have faced price erosion in each of our business segments, placing even greater importance on our ability to continually introduce new products. We have becomeAlthough we intend to invest in the development of more dependent on sales ofcomplex, high-value generics products such as drug device combinations and long-acting injectables, there is no assurance as to when we will be successful in achieving our generics medicines and are increasingly subject to market and regulatory factors and other risks affecting generic pharmaceuticals worldwide.

During 2020 and 2021, our business was impacted by increased volatility in demand and fluctuations in overall prescription volumes due in large part to the COVID-19 pandemic. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may continue in 2022. Due to the volume of our generic portfolio and global nature of our supply chain, we have experienced supply discontinuities due to regulatory actions, labor disturbances and approval delays, which had an impact on our ability to timely meet demand in certain instances. These adverse market forces have a direct impact on our overall performance. Any such COVID-19 related or other disruptions could have a material adverse impact on our business and ourexpected results, of operation and financial condition.
if at all.

We also expect to continue to experience significant adverse challenges in the U.S. generics market deriving from limitations on our ability to influence generic medicine pricing in the long term and a decrease in value from future launches and growth. These and other challenges have required us to recognize significant goodwill impairments in past years. If we experience further difficulty in this market, this may continue to adversely affect our revenues and profits from our North America business segment or cause us to recognize one or more goodwill impairments relating to this reporting unit.

Sales of our generic products may be adversely affected by the continuing consolidationconcentration of our customer base and commercial alliances among our customers.

A significant portion of our sales are made to relatively few U.S. retail drug chains, wholesalers, managed care purchasing organizations, mail order distributors and hospitals. These customers have undergone significant consolidation and formed various commercial alliances, in recent years, which may continue to increase the pricing pressures that we face in the United States. Additionally, the emergenceThe presence of large buying groups, and the prevalence and influence of managed care organizations and similar institutions, have increased pressure on price, as well as terms and conditions required to do business.

Due to such consolidation and subsequent changes in these commercial alliances, there are three large GPOs that account for approximatelymore than 80% of generics purchases in the United States.States in 2023, which provides each of them with significant bargaining power. Additionally, our customers may form commercial alliances which result in heightened pricing pressure and competition in the markets in which we operate. For example, several major hospital systems in the United States formed a nonprofit company in 2018 to manufacture their own generics medicines. We expect the trend of increased pricing pressures from our customers and price erosion in the U.S. generics market to continue.

The traditional model for distribution of pharmaceutical products is also undergoing disruption as a result of the entry or potential entry of new competitors and significant mergers among key industry participants. For example, in 2020 Amazon.com launched its pharmaceutical distribution business and in November 2020, Mylan and Pfizer’s Upjohn completed a merger of their businesses by forming Viatris Inc. In addition, several major hospital systems in the United States announced a plan to form a nonprofit company that will provide U.S. hospitals with a number of generic drugs. These changes to the traditional supply chain could lead to our customers having increased negotiation leverage and to additional pricing pressure and price erosion.

Our net sales may also be affected by fluctuations in the buying patterns of retail chains, mail order distributors, wholesalers and other trade buyers,our significant customers, whether resulting from seasonality, pricing, wholesaler buying decisions or other factors. Our business was also impacted by increased volatility in demand due in large part to the COVID-19 pandemic and fluctuations in overall market prescription volumes, which may continue in 2022. In addition, since a significant portion of our U.S. revenues is derived from relatively few key customers, any financial difficulties experienced by a single key customer, or any delay in receiving payments from such a customer, or any significant reduction in or loss of business with such a customer could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For a description of our net sales from our major customers, see note 19 to our consolidated financial statements.

Our revenues and profits from generic products may decline as a result of competition from other pharmaceutical companies and changes in regulatory policy.

Our generic drugs face intense competition. Prices of generic drugs may, and often do, decline, sometimes dramatically, especially as additional generic pharmaceutical companies (including low-cost generic producers based in China and India) receive approvals and enter the market for a given product and competition intensifies. Consequently, our ability to sustain our sales and profitability on any given product over time is affected by the number of companies selling such product, including new market entrants, and the timing of their approvals. The goals established under the Generic Drug User Fee Act, and increased funding of the FDA’s Office of Generic Drugs, have led to more and faster generic approvals, and consequently increased competition for some of our products. The FDA has stated that it has established new steps to enhance competition, promote access and lower drug prices and is approving record-breakingincreasing numbers of generic applications. While these FDA improvements are expected to benefit Teva’sour generic product pipeline, they will also benefit competitors that seek to launch products in established generic markets where Tevawe currently offersoffer products.

In recent years, there has also been an increase in the number of generic manufacturers targeting significant new generic opportunities with exclusivity under the Hatch-Waxman Act, or which are complex to develop. Many of the smaller generic manufacturers have increased their capabilities, level of sophistication and development resources in recent years. The FDA has also been limiting the availability of exclusivity periods for new products, which reduces the economic benefit from being first-to-file for generic approvals. For example, the 180-day market exclusivity period under the Hatch-Waxman Act for a new product can be forfeited by failure to obtain approval or to launch a product within a specified time or if certain conditions exist, some of which may be outside our control. The failure to maintain our industry-leading performance in the United States on first-to-file opportunities and to develop and commercialize high complexity generic products could adversely affect our sales and profitability.

Furthermore, brand pharmaceutical companies continue to manage products in a challenging environment through marketing agreements with payers, pharmacy benefits managers and generic manufacturers. For example, brand companies often sell or license their own generic versions of their products, known as “authorized generics,” either directly or through other generic pharmaceutical companies (so-called “authorized generics”).companies. No significant regulatory approvals are required for authorized generics, and brand companies do not face any other significant barriers to entry into such market. Brand companies may seek to delay introductions of generic equivalents through a variety of commercial and regulatory tactics. Many pharmaceutical companies increasingly have used state and

27

Table of Contents
federal legislative and regulatory means to delay generic (including biosimilar) competition. These efforts have included pursuing new patents for existing products to extend patent protection; obtaining new regulatory exclusivities; selling the brand product as their own generic equivalent (an authorized generic);generics; using the Citizen Petition process to request amendments to FDA standards or otherwise delay generic (or biosimilar) drug approvals; seeking changes to U.S. Pharmacopeia, an organization which publishes industry recognized compendia of drug standards; using the legislative and regulatory process to have drugs reclassified or rescheduled; attaching patent extension amendments to unrelated federal legislation; and entering into agreements with pharmacy benefit management companies to block the dispensing of generic (including biosimilar) products. These actions may increase the costs and risks of our efforts to introduce generic products and may delay or prevent such introduction altogether.

In addition, the U.S. Congress and various state legislatures in the United States have passed, or have proposed passing, legislation that could have an adverse impact on pharmaceutical manufacturers’ ability to (i) settle litigation initiated pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act and Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (“BPCIA”); (ii) secure the full benefit of first-to-file regulatory approval status secured under the Hatch-Waxman Act; and (iii) changerecover their investments into the valuedevelopment of the brand products prior to the launch ofan innovative, generic versions.or biosimilar product. Hatch-Waxman and BPCIA create various pathways for generic drug manufacturers to secure accelerated approvals of their abbreviated new drug applications and abbreviated biologics license applications. The new laws and proposals from the federal and state governments could serve to change, directly and indirectly, the Hatch-Waxman Act and BPCIA, including the incentives to develop generic and biosimilar products, as well as the ability of generic manufacturers to accelerate the launch of their new generic and biosimilar products. They also could impact the ability of brand manufacturers to protect their investments in the

intellectual property associated with their branded specialty and innovative biologic products. Teva continuesAdditionally, the enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) represents the most significant pharmaceutical pricing reform in the United States to date and includes legislative changes that could lead to greater pricing pressures on our products such as amendments to (i) eliminate the “donut hole” under the Medicare Part D program beginning in 2025; (ii) modify the “noninterference” provisions of the Medicare Part D enabling statute to require the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) to negotiate the prices of a subset of drugs and biologics with the highest annual expenditures under Medicare Parts B and D; and (iii) impose manufacturer rebates on certain single-source Part B and Part D drugs when prices rise faster that the rate of inflation.

A number of state legislatures have also begun considering legislation that would implement IRA-like frameworks for state regulated insurance markets. We continue to monitor these legislative developments and evaluate whether any changes to our business practices and operations are necessary in order to comply with such legislative reforms and advocate for policies that support both innovation and access to high quality medicines for patients.

However, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate impact of such legislative developments on our business or whether additional changes in regulatory policies will occur in the future.

We have experienced, and may continue to experience, delays in launches of our new generic products.

Although we believe we have one of the most extensive pipelines of generic products in the industry, in recent years we were unable to successfully execute a number of generic launches and these challenges may continue in the foreseeable future. As a result of delays we have experienced in the timing of launches, we may not be able to realize the economic benefits anticipated in connection with our planned launch timing. If we cannot execute timely launches of new products, we may not be able to offset the increasing price erosion on existing products in the United States resulting from pricing pressures and accelerated generics approvals for competing products. Such unsuccessful launches can be caused by many factors, including, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, delays in regulatory approvals, lack of operational or clinical readiness or patent litigation. Failure or delays to execute launches of new generic products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The increase in the number of competitors targeting generic opportunities and seeking U.S. market exclusivity for generic versions of significant products may adversely affect our revenues and profits
.
Our ability to achieve continued growth and profitability through sales of generic pharmaceuticals is dependent on our continued success in challenging patents, developing non-infringing products or developing products with increased complexity to provide opportunities with U.S. market exclusivity or limited competition.
To the extent that we succeed in being the first to market a generic version of a product, and particularly if we are the only company authorized to sell the generic product during the 180-day period of exclusivity in the U.S. market as provided under the Hatch-Waxman Act, our sales, profits and profitability can be substantially increased in the period following the introduction of such product and prior to a competitor’s introduction of a generic product. Even after the exclusivity period ends, there is often continuing benefit from having the first generic product in the market.

However, the number of generic manufacturers targeting significant new generic opportunities with exclusivity under the Hatch-Waxman Act, or which are complex to develop, has increased in recent years. Additionally, many of the smaller generic manufacturers have increased their capabilities, level of sophistication and development resources in recent years. The FDA has also been limiting the availability of exclusivity periods for new products, which reduces the economic benefit from being first-to-file for generic approvals. The failure to maintain our industry-leading performance in the United States on first-to-file opportunities and to develop and commercialize high complexity generic products could adversely affect our sales and profitability.
The 180-day market exclusivity period is triggered by commercial marketing of the generic product. However, the exclusivity period can be forfeited by our failure to obtain tentative or final approval of our product within a specified statutory period or to launch a product following final court decisions that are no longer subject to appeal holding the applicable patents to be invalid, unenforceable or not infringed. The Hatch-Waxman Act also contains other forfeiture provisions that may deprive the first “Paragraph IV” filer of exclusivity if certain conditions are met, some of which may be outside our control. Accordingly, we may face the risk that our exclusivity period is forfeited before we are able to commercialize a product.

We may be unable to take advantage of the increasing number of high-value biopharmaceuticalbiosimilars opportunities.

We aim to be a global leader in biopharmaceuticals.

Due to the complex process and significant financial and other resources required to develop biosimilars, obstacles and delays, including budget constraints may arise, thatwhich increase the cost of development or force us to abandon a potential product in which we may have invested substantial amounts of time and resources.

We face intense competition to our specialty pharmaceutical products. Manyinnovative medicines. As part of our Pivot to Growth strategy, we intend to deliver on our growth engines, mainly AUSTEDO, AJOVY and UZEDY, and step up the innovation of our late-stage innovative pipeline assets. However, many of our competitors are larger and/or have substantially more experience in the development, acquisition and marketing of branded, innovative and consumer-oriented

products. They may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging market preferences or to devote greater resources to the development and marketing of new products and/or technologies than we can. As a result, any products and/or innovations that we develop may become obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses incurred in connection with their development. In addition, we must demonstrate the benefits of our products relative to competing products that are often more familiar or otherwise better established to physicians, patients and third-party payers. If competitors introduce new products or new variations on their existing products, our marketed products, even those protected by patents, may be replaced in the marketplace or we may be required to lower our prices. For example:

example, the following may have a significant effect on our financial results and cash flow:

Our

our future success depends on our ability to maximize the growth and commercial success of AUSTEDO.AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR. If our revenues derived from AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR do not increase as expected or if we lose market share to competing therapies, it may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.operations;

AJOVY faces strong competition from two products that were introduced into the market around the same time and are competing for market share in the same space, as well as from other emerging competing therapies, including oral calcitonin gene-related peptide (“CGRP”)CGRP products;

UZEDY is a later entrant which faces competition from four well-established products. Additionally, two branded and one generic risperidone long-acting injectable have or are in the process of launching, which may impact UZEDY’s growth;

COPAXONE faces increasing competition from generic versions in the U.S. and competing glatiramer acetate products in Europe, as well as from orally-administered therapies. Following the approval of generic competition, COPAXONE’s revenues and profitability have decreased. We expect thisthe trend of decreasing revenues and profitability for COPAXONE to continue in the future,future; and

there is a trend in the innovative medicines industry of seeking to “outsource” drug development by acquiring companies with promising drug candidates and we face substantial competition from historically innovative companies, as well as companies with greater financial resources than us, for such acquisition targets.

In order to remain competitive, we must invest significant resources to expand our pipeline for innovative medicines and biosimilars, both through our own efforts and through collaborations with, and in-licensing or acquisition of products from, third parties. We have entered into, and expect to pursue, in-licensing, acquisition, collaboration, funding and partnership opportunities to supplement and expand our existing innovative medicines and biosimilar pipeline, such as our collaborations with Alvotech, Modag, Sanofi, Royalty Pharma and Biolojic. However, there is no assurance that such collaborations will achieve the results we expect and we or our counterparties could fail to perform the obligations thereunder, including due to the failure to obtain regulatory approvals and increasing competition, pricing pressures and other financial constraints.

Furthermore, the development of innovative medicines involves lengthier and more complex processes and greater expertise and resources than those used in the development of generic medicines. For example, the time from discovery to commercial launch of an innovative medicine can be 15 years or more and involves multiple stages, including intensive preclinical and clinical testing and highly complex, lengthy and expensive regulatory approval processes, which vary from country to country. The longer it takes to develop a new product, the less time that remains to recover development costs and generate profits. During each stage, we may encounter obstacles that delay the development process and increase expenses, potentially forcing us to abandon a potential product in which we may have invested substantial amounts of time and resources. These obstacles may include preclinical failures, difficulty enrolling patients in clinical trials, delays in completing formulation and other work needed to support an application for approval, adverse reactions or other safety concerns arising during clinical testing, insufficient clinical trial data to support the safety or efficacy of the product candidate, widespread supply chain breakdowns, delays as a significant effectresult of new requirements implemented by health authorities such as the U.S. FDA and EMA requirement on our financial resultsmaterial use, and cash flow.delays or failures to obtain required regulatory

approvals for the product candidate or the facilities in which it is manufactured. In addition, our specialty productsinnovative medicines require much greater use of a direct sales force than does our core generics business. Our ability to realize significant revenues from direct marketing and sales activities depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified sales personnel. Competition for qualified sales personnel is intense. We may also need to enter into co-promotion, contract sales force or other such arrangements with third parties, for example, where our own direct sales force is not large enough or sufficiently well-aligned to achieve maximum market penetration. Any failure to attract or retain qualified sales personnel or to enter into third-party arrangements on favorable terms could prevent us from successfully maintaining current sales levels or commercializing new innovative and specialty products. Furthermore, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ability to promote our new specialty products, primarily AJOVY and AUSTEDO, has been impacted by fewer physician visits by patients and fewer physician interactions with our sales personnel as well as the reluctance of physicians to introduce new medication at a time when access to patients may be restricted.

medicines.

If generic or biosimilar products that compete with any of our specialty productsinnovative medicines are approved and sold, sales of our specialty productsinnovative medicines will be adversely affected.

Certain of our leading specialtyinnovative medicines face patent challenges and impending patent expirations. For example,expirations and some have recently become susceptible to generic competition, such as TREANDA in January 2019, we launched our own ProAir authorized generic in the United States following the launch of a generic version of Ventolin

®
HFA, another albuterol inhaler. Other generic versions of ProAir were launched in 2020. Eagle has launched a ready-to-dilute bendamustine hydrochloride in June 2018, which directly competes with BENDEKA, in addition to the ANDAs and NDAs that have been filed by competitors in connection with TREANDA and BENDEKA. In July 2021, we filed patent infringement lawsuits against two ANDA filers with respect to certain of the patents listed in the Orange Book for AUSTEDO. In addition, a third generic company has filed a petition for inter partes review (IPR) with the U.S. Patent Office with respect to the AUSTEDO compound patent.
2022. Generic equivalents and biosimilars for branded pharmaceutical products are typically sold at lower costs than the branded products. After the introduction of a competing generic product, a significant percentage of the prescriptions previously written for the branded product are often written for the generic version. Legislation enacted in most U.S. states allows or, in some instances, mandates that a pharmacist dispense an available generic equivalent (or interchangeable biosimilar) when filling a prescription for a branded product in the absence of specific instructions from the prescribing physician. Pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch Waxman Act and BPCIA, manufacturers of branded products often bring lawsuits to enforce their patent rights against generic products released prior to the expiration of branded products’ patents, but it is possible for generic manufacturers to offer generic (or biosimilar) products while such litigation is pending. As a result, brandedBranded products typically experience a significant loss in revenues following the introduction of a competing generic (or biosimilar) product, even if itthe branded product is still subject to an existing patent.patent since generic manufacturers may offer generic (or biosimilar) products while patent litigation is pending. Our specialty productsinnovative medicines are or may become subject to competition from generic equivalents because our patent protection expired or may expire soon. In addition, we may not be successful in our efforts to obtain additional patent protection for our specialty productsinnovative medicines through the development and commercialization of proprietary product improvements and new and enhanced dosage forms.
Investments in our pipeline of specialty and other products may not achieve expected results.
We must invest significant resources to develop specialty medicines and biosimilars, both through our own efforts and through collaborations with, and in-licensing or acquisition of products from, third parties. We have entered into, and expect to pursue, in-licensing, acquisition and partnership opportunities to supplement and expand our existing specialty and biosimilar pipeline (e.g., the transactions with Regeneron, Alvotech and Modag).
The development of specialty medicines involves processes and expertise different from those used in the development of generic medicines, which increase the risk of failure. For example, the time from discovery to commercial launch of a specialty medicine can be 15 years or more and involves multiple stages, including
30

Table of Contents
intensive preclinical and clinical testing and highly complex, lengthy and expensive approval processes, which vary from country to country. The longer it takes to develop a new product, the less time that remains to recover development costs and generate profits. Specialty medicines currently in development include deutetrabenazine for dyskinesia in cerebral palsy, risperidone LAI for schizophrenia and anle138b for multiple system atrophy (“MSA”).
During each stage, we may encounter obstacles that delay the development process and increase expenses, potentially forcing us to abandon a potential product in which we may have invested substantial amounts of time and resources. These obstacles may include preclinical failures, difficulty enrolling patients in clinical trials, delays in completing formulation and other work needed to support an application for approval, adverse reactions or other safety concerns arising during clinical testing, insufficient clinical trial data to support the safety or efficacy of the product candidate and delays or failure to obtain the required regulatory approvals for the product candidate or the facilities in which it is manufactured. For example, during the second quarter of 2021, the development of fremanezumab for an additional indication was discontinued.
When we enter into partnerships and joint ventures with third parties, such as our collaborations with Regeneron, Alvotech and Modag, we face the risk that some of these third parties may fail to perform their obligations or fail to reach the levels of success that we are relying on to meet our revenue and profit goals. There is a trend in the specialty pharmaceutical industry of seeking to “outsource” drug development by acquiring companies with promising drug candidates and we face substantial competition from historically innovative companies, as well as companies with greater financial resources than us, for such acquisition targets.

Our success depends on our ability to develop and commercialize additional pharmaceutical products.

Our financial results depend upon our ability to develop and commercialize additional generic, specialtyinnovative, biosimilar and biosimilargeneric products in a timely manner, particularly in light of the increasing generic competition to COPAXONE, generic and other competition to our respiratory products, such as ProAir, patent challenges to our specialty products, such as AUSTEDO, and impending patent expirations facing certain of our other specialty medicines, such as TREANDA.manner. Commercialization requires that we successfully develop, test and manufacture pharmaceutical products. All of our products must receive regulatory approval and meet, (andand continue to comply with)with, regulatory and safety standards; if health or safety concerns arise with respect to a product, we may be forced to withdraw it from the market. Developing and commercializing additional pharmaceutical products is also subject to difficulties relating to the availability, on commercially reasonable terms, of raw materials, including API and other key ingredients; preclusion from commercialization by the proprietary rights of others; the costs of manufacture and commercialization; costly legal actions brought by our competitors that may delay or prevent development or commercialization of a new product; and delays and costs associated with the approval process of the FDA and other U.S. and international regulatory agencies.

The development and commercialization process, particularly with respect to specialtyinnovative medicines and biosimilar medicines, as well as the complex generic medicines that we increasingly focus on, is both time-consuming and costly, and involves a high degree of business risk. Our products currently under development, including deutetrabenazine for dyskinesia in cerebral palsy, risperidone LAI for schizophrenia and anle138b for MSA, if and when fully developed and tested, may not perform as we expect. Necessary regulatory approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, if at all, and we may not be able to produce and market such products successfully and profitably. Delays in any part of the process or our inability to obtain regulatory approval of our products could adversely affect our operating results by restricting or delaying our introduction of new products.

We depend on the effectiveness of our patents, confidentiality agreements and other measures to protect our intellectual property rights.

The success of our specialtyinnovative medicines business depends substantially on our ability to obtain patents and to defend our intellectual property rights. If we fail to protect our intellectual property adequately, competitors may

manufacture and market products identical or similar to ours. We have been issued numerous patents

31


covering our specialtyinnovative medicines, and have filed, and expect to continue to file, patent applications seeking to protect newly developed technologies and products in various countries, including the United States. Currently pending patent applications may not result in issued patents or be approved on a timely basis or at all. Any existing or future patents issued to or licensed by us may not provide us with any competitive advantages for our products or may be challenged or circumvented by competitors or governments.

Efforts to defend the validity of our patents are expensive and time-consuming, and there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful. Our ability to enforce our patents also depends on the laws of individual countries and each country’s practices regarding the enforcement of intellectual property rights. The loss of patent protection or regulatory exclusivity on specialtyinnovative medicines, including potential challenges to our Orange Book patent listings in the United States, could materially impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We also rely on trade secrets, unpatented proprietary know-how, trademarks, regulatory exclusivity and continuing technological innovation that we seek to protect, in part by confidentiality agreements with licensees, suppliers, employees and consultants. These measures may not provide adequate protection for our unpatented technology. If these agreements are breached, it is possible that we will not have adequate remedies. Disputes may arise concerning the ownership of intellectual property or the applicability of confidentiality agreements. Furthermore, our trade secrets and proprietary technology may otherwise become known or be independently developed by our competitors or we may not be able to maintain the confidentiality of information relating to such products. If we are unable to adequately protect our technology, trade secrets or proprietary know-how, or enforce our intellectual property rights, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could suffer.

Risks related to our substantial indebtedness

We have substantial debt of $23,043 million as of December 31, 2021,outstanding, which requires significant interest and principal payments, requires compliance with certain covenants and restricts our ability to incur additional indebtedness or engage in other transactions.

Our

As of December 31, 2023, we have consolidated debt was $23,043of $19,833 million atoutstanding, compared to $21,212 million outstanding as of December 31, 2021, compared to $25,919 million at December 31, 2020.2022. If we are unable to meet our debt service obligations and other financial obligations, we could be forced to restructure or refinance our indebtedness, and other financial transactions, seek additional debt or equity capital or sell our assets. We might thenmay be unable to obtain such financing or capital or sell our assets on satisfactory terms, if at all. Any refinancing of our indebtedness could be at significantly higher interest rates, incur significant transaction fees or include more restrictive covenants. See “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity” and note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for a detailed discussion of our outstanding indebtedness.

We may have lower-than-anticipated cash flows in the future, which could further reduce our available cash. Although we believe that we will have access to cash sufficient to meet our business objectives and capital needs, this reduced availability of cash could constrain our ability to grow our business. We may have lower-than-anticipated net income in the future.

Our unsecured syndicated sustainability-linked revolving credit facility (“RCF”) contains certain covenants, including certain limitations on incurring liens and indebtedness and maintenance of certain financial ratios, including the requirement to maintain compliance with a net debt to EBITDAmaximum leverage ratio, which becomes more restrictive over time. Under specified circumstances, including non-compliance with any of the covenants and the unavailability of any waiver, amendment or other modification thereto, we will not be able to borrow under the RCF. Additionally, violations of the covenants, under certain circumstances, would result in an event of default in all borrowings under the RCF and, when greater than a specified threshold amount as set forth in each series of senior notes and sustainability-linked senior notes is outstanding, could lead to an event of default under our senior notes and sustainability-linked senior notes due to cross acceleration provisions.

Our substantial net debt could also have other important consequences to our business, including, but not limited to:

to making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations;
limiting our ability to borrow additional funds and increasing the cost of any such borrowing;
increasing our vulnerability to, and reducing our flexibility to respond to, general adverse economic and industry conditions;
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
placing us at a competitive disadvantage as compared to our competitors, to the extent that they are not as highly leveraged; and
restricting us from pursuing certain business opportunities.

Additionally, if the COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on our business and financial results for an extended period of time, our credit losses, liquidity and cash resources could be negatively impacted.impacted by macroeconomic pressures. We may be required to draw down funds from our RCF or pursue additional sources of financing to fund our operations, such as secured financing. If we seek secured financing in excess of the limitationlimitations in our existing debt instruments, we may have to secure our current outstanding debt as well. Capital and credit markets, which have been disrupted by the crisis and foreign exchangessuch macroeconomic pressures, have experienced increased volatility. As a result, access to additional financing may be challenging and is largely dependent upon evolving market conditions, and other factors, which could materially impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We may need to raise additional funds in the future, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

In November 2021, we completed a $5 billion sustainability-linked senior notes offering, using the proceeds to refinance existing debt.

We may consider issuing additional debt or equity securities in the future to refinance existing debt or for general corporate purposes, including to fund our growth strategies, and to fund potential acquisitions or investments. If we issue ordinary equity, convertible preferred equity or convertible debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing shareholders may experience dilution, and the new equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing shareholders. If we incur additional debt, it may increase our leverage relative to our earnings or to our equity capitalization, requiring us to pay additional interest and potentially lowering our credit ratings. We may not be able to market such issuances on favorable terms, or at all, in which case, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products, execute our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated customer requirements.

If our credit ratings are further downgraded by leading rating agencies, we may not be able to raise debt or borrow funds in amounts or on terms that are favorable to us, if at all.

Our credit ratings impact the cost and availability of future borrowings and, accordingly, our cost of capital. Our ratings at any time will reflect each rating organization’s thenagency’s opinion of our financial strength, operating performance and ability to meet our debt obligations.

Any downgrade of our ratings to non-investment grade by Fitch, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’sthe rating agencies limits our ability to borrow at interest rates consistent with the interest rates that were available to us prior to such downgrades. This may limit our ability to sell additional debt securities or borrow money in the amounts, at the times or interest rates, or upon the terms and conditions that would have been available to us if our previous credit ratings had been maintained.

Additional risks

Risks related to our general business and operations

Global economic conditions may negatively affect us and may magnify certain risks that affect our business.

In response to rising inflation in recent years, central banks in the markets in which we operate, including the United States Federal Reserve, have tightened their monetary policies and raised interest rates, and such measures may continue. Higher interest rates and volatility in financial markets could lead to additional economic uncertainty or recession. Increased inflation rates have increased our and our suppliers’ operating costs, including labor costs, raw materials costs, manufacturing costs and R&D costs. There is no assurance that we will be able to increase our pricing to offset our increased costs, or that our operations will not be materially impacted by rising inflation and its broader effects on the markets in which we operate in the future. In addition to rising inflation, the global economy has also been impacted by fluctuating foreign exchange rates and geopolitical tensions, which could result in supply chain disruptions. Supply chain disruptions could continue to result in delays in our production and distribution processes, R&D initiatives and our ability to timely respond to consumer demand. As we have substantial international operations, fluctuations in exchange rates between the currencies in which we operate and the U.S. dollar could increase our operating costs and adversely affect our results of operations, profits and cash flows. The duration and extent of rising inflation, higher interest rates, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, geopolitical tensions and other macroeconomic headwinds are uncertain and we cannot accurately predict whether we will be able to effectively mitigate their impact on our business.

Due to the complexity of our supply chain, we have experienced supply discontinuities due to macroeconomic issues, regulatory actions, including sanctions and trade restrictions, labor disturbances and approval delays, which impacted our ability to timely meet demand in certain instances. These adverse market forces have a direct impact on our overall performance. Any such disruptions could have a material adverse impact on our business and our results of operation and financial condition.

The widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the governmental and societal responses thereto, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected, and may in the future also affect our employees as well as employees and operations at third-party manufacturers or suppliers that have resulted in and maydelays in the future result in delays or disruptions in manufacturing and supply. The COVID-19 pandemic has also led to a new working environment, which may affect employee wellbeing and engagement, causing stress and fear of returning to work at the office. This in turn may result in lower productivity and motivation among employees.

In 2021, we experienced delays inour clinical trials due to slow-downs ofslowdowns in recruitment for patient studies. We have also experiencedstudies and suspended regulatory inspections, raw material supply issues, delays in regulatory approvals of new products due to reduced capacity or re-prioritization of regulatory agencies and delays in pre-commercial launch activities. We may experience further delays if the pandemic continues for an extended period of time. Though availability of vaccines and reopening of economies has improved the outlook for recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic’s impacts, the impactThe new working environment that emerged as a result of the Delta or Omicron variants or other new, more contagious or lethal variants that may emerge,COVID-19 pandemic, with many employees working remotely, also increased the effectivenessexposure of COVID-19 vaccines against the Delta or Omicron variants or such other variantsmany companies, including us, to cyber-attacks and the related responses by governments,data security breaches.

Both the health and economic aspectsa resurgence of the COVID-19, pandemic remain highly fluid and the future course of each is uncertain. During 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to have an impact on markets and on customer stocking and purchasing patterns. While we expect to be able to continue our operations and to satisfy the demand for our products, while protecting the health and safety of our employees and customers, the uncertainty surrounding the full economic implications of the pandemic may result in business disruption and it is possible that we will continue to see variable demand in future periods. Any COVID-19 related disruption could similarly have a material adverse impact on the global economy, our supply chain and our business and our results of operation and financial condition. Changes in patient behavior resulting in fewer visits to physicians and medical facilities, or increased layoffs in the U.S. employment market,

In addition, the ability to promote certain specialty products has been impacted by fewer physician visits by patients and fewer physician interactions by our sales personnel. If these trends continue or worsen, our revenues could be adversely affected. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business, the value of our shares and our accessresponse to the capital and credit markets including our liquidity and cash resources. The new working environment, with many employees working remotely, has increased the exposure of many companies to cyber-attacks, including us, and data security breaches.

Implementation of ongoing optimization efforts may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have and will continue to implement changes to optimize our business operations and reallocate resources towards growth opportunities. As part of such optimization efforts, we may face wrongful termination, discrimination or other legal claims from employees affected by ongoing changes in our workforce. We may incur substantial costs defending against such claims, regardless of their merits, and such claims may significantly increase our severance costs. Additionally, we may see variances in the estimated severance costs depending on the category of employees and locations in which severance is incurred.

Upon the proposed divestiture of any facilityassets, including divestitures of business units as part of our Pivot to Growth strategy to focus on our core businesses, as well as divestitures of our facilities in connection with our ongoing plant optimization, we may not be able to divestconsummate such facilitydivestitures at a favorable price or in a timely manner. Any divestiture that we are unable to complete may cause additional costs associated with retaining, the facilityclosing or closing and disposing of the impacted businesses.

Any workforce reduction and site consolidation may result in the loss of numerous long-term employees, the loss of institutional knowledge and expertise, the reallocation of certain job responsibilities and the disruption of business continuity, all of which could negatively affect operational efficiencies and our ability to achieve growth and profitability through the development and sale of new pharmaceutical products.

We cannot guarantee that, following such efficiency measures, our business will be more efficient or effective.

Our continued success depends on our ability to attract, hire, integrate and retain highly skilled key personnel.

Given the size, complexity and global reach of our business and our multiple areas of focus, we are especially reliant upon our ability to recruit and retain highly qualified management and other key employees. Our ability to attract and retain such employees may be diminished by the financial, legal and regulatory challenges we have faced in recent years, the increased importance of delivering on corporate ESG initiativesgoals and their reputational impact as well as increased competition for talent. In addition, the success of our R&D activity depends on our ability to attract and retain sufficient numbers of skilled scientific personnel, which may be limited due to our R&D spending and programs. Changes in our management as a result of the appointment or departure of members of management and other key employees may also cause disruptions to our business and result in the loss of key personnel with institutional knowledge of our business, negative impacts on our relationships with existing employees and customers and increased operating costs related to integrating new personnel. Any difficulty in recruiting, hiring, integrating, retaining and motivating talented and skilled members of our organization may delayimpair or prevent the achievement of major business objectives.

Manufacturing or quality control problems may damage our reputation for quality production, demand costly remedial activities and negatively impact our financial results.
As a pharmaceutical company, we are subject to substantial regulation by various governmental authorities. For instance, we must comply with requirements of the FDA, EMA and other healthcare regulators with respect to the manufacture, labeling, sale, distribution, marketing, advertising, promotion and development of pharmaceutical products. Failure to strictly and promptly comply with these regulations and requirements may damage our reputation and lead to financial penalties, compliance expenditures associated with remediation efforts, the recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production and/or distribution, suspension of the applicable regulator’s review of our submissions, enforcement actions, injunctions and criminal prosecution.
We must register our facilities, whether located in the United States or elsewhere, with the FDA for products sold in the United States, and with other regulators outside the United States for products sold outside of the United States. Our products must be produced in a manner consistent with cGMP, or similar quality and compliance standards in each territory in which we manufacture. In addition, the FDA and other agencies periodically inspect our manufacturing facilities. Following an inspection, an agency may issue a notice listing conditions that are believed to violate cGMP or other regulations, or take other regulatory action, including issuing a warning letter for violations of “regulatory significance” that may result in enforcement action if not promptly and adequately corrected.
In recent years, regulatory agencies around the world have increased their scrutiny of pharmaceutical manufacturers. This has resulted in requests for product recalls, temporary plant shutdowns to address specific issues and other remedial actions. Our manufacturing facilities, as well as those of our vendors and manufacturing partners, have also been the subject of increased regulatory oversight, leading to increased expenditures required to ensure compliance with new or more stringent production and quality control regulations. For information regarding significant regulatory events, see note 15 to our consolidated financial statements.
These regulatory actions also adversely affecteddelay our ability to supply various products around the world andexecute our Pivot to obtain approvals for new products manufactured at the affected facilities. If any regulatory body were to require one or more of our significant manufacturing facilities to cease or limit production, or to halt the approval of new or pending regulatory applications, our business and reputation could be adversely affected. In addition, because regulatory approval to manufacture a drug is site-specific, the delay and cost of remedial actions or obtaining approval to manufacture at a specific facility could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Growth strategy.

The manufacture of our products is highly complex, and an interruption in our supply chain or problems with internal or third party information technology systemsmanufacturing could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our products are either manufactured at our own facilities or obtained through supply agreements with third parties. Many of our products are the result of complex manufacturing processes, and some require highly specialized raw materials. Problems may arise during manufacturing for a variety of reasons, including equipment malfunction, failure to follow specific protocols and procedures, problems with or shortages of raw materials, natural disasters, and environmental factors. For some of our key raw materials, we have only a single, source of supply, and alternate sources of supply may not be readily available. If our supply of certain raw materials or finished products is interrupted from time to time, or proves insufficient to meet demand, our cash flows and results of operations could be adversely impacted. Additionally, any such supply interruption could result in a supply shortage to patients depending on the number of competitors able to meet the supply needs. Moreover, the streamlining of our manufacturing network may result in our product supply becoming more dependent on a smaller number of specific manufacturing plants. Our inability to timely manufacture any of our key products may result in claims and penalties from customers and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations as well as result in reputational harm.

In recent years, medicine shortages have become an increasingly widespread problem around the world. We are working diligently across our supply chain to ensure continuous and stable supply. Many European countries are implementing legal and regulatory measures, such as mandatory stockpiling and high penalties in order to prevent supply disruptions. Such measures may lead to substantial monetary losses in case we experience long-term supply disruptions in the relevant territories.

We also rely on complex shipping arrangements to and from the various facilities of our supply chain. Customs clearance and shipping by land, air or sea routes rely on and may be affected by factors that are not in our full control or are hard to predict.

A significant portion of our costs is comprised of raw materials for our products as well as energy, transportation and labor costs for our manufacturing and operations. We have experienced increases in prices of raw materials, energy, labor and transportation. To the extent thattransportation, in part due to macroeconomic pressures. While we cannotseek to pass along such increased costs to our customers, there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully and promptly increase our pricing to offset such increased costs in the future. Our ability to increase our pricing may be limited or delayed by regulatory restrictions and we may only be able to increase our pricing to the extent our competitors also increase their prices, as any increase in our pricing exceeding that of our competitors could negatively impact our competitive position. Any failure to effectively and timely pass along our increased costs to our customers may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.

In addition, we rely on complex information technology systems, including Internet-based systems, to support our supply-chain processes as well as internal and external communications. The size and complexity of our systems make them potentially vulnerable to breakdown or interruption, whether due to computer viruses, lack of system upgrades or other causes that may result in the loss of key information or the impairment of production and other supply chain processes. Such disruptions and breaches of security could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
condition.

Significant disruptions of our information technology systems could adversely affect our business.

We rely extensively on information technology systems in order to conduct business, including some systems that are managed by third-party service providers. These systems include but are not limited to, programs and processes relating to internal and external communications, ordering and managing materials from suppliers, converting materials to finished products, shipping products to customers, processing transactions, summarizing and reporting results of operations, processing payments to employees and vendors, calculating sales receivables, generating our financial results, and complying with information technology security compliance and other regulatory, legal or tax requirements. These information technology systems could be damaged or cease to function properly due to the poor performance or failure of third-party service providers, catastrophic events, power outages, network outages, failed upgrades or other similar events. If our business continuity plans do not effectively resolve such issues on a timely basis, we may suffer significant interruptions in conducting our business, which may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, our systems and networks have been, and are expected to continue to be, the target of increasingly advanced and evolving cyber-attacks which may pose a risk to the security of our systems and the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data, as well as disrupt our operations or damage our facilities or those of third parties. AsOur exposure to cybersecurity threats rapidly evolve in sophistication and become more prevalent, we are continually increasingrisks may be heightened by the global scope of our attention to these threats. We assess potential threats and vulnerabilities and make investments seeking to address them, including ongoing monitoring and updating of networks and systems, increasing specialized information security skills, deploying employee security training and updating our security policies. However, becauseoperations. Because the techniques, tools and tactics used in cyber-attacks frequently change and may be difficult to detect for periods of time, despite our attention to such threats and especially with the increasing use of artificial intelligence technology, we may face difficulties in anticipating and implementing adequate preventative measures or fully mitigating harms after such an attack. In addition, hardware, software or applications we develop or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security. We outsource administration of certain functions to vendors that could be targets of cyber-attacks. Any manipulation, theft, loss and/or fraudulent use of customer, employee or proprietary data as a result of a cyber-attack targeting us or one of our third-party service providers could subject us to significant litigation, liability and costs, as well as adversely impact our reputation with customers and regulators, among others.regulators. A significant cyber-attack on our information technology systems may lead to substantial interruptions in our business, legal claims and liability, regulatory investigations and penalties, and reputational damage, which

could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we maintain insurance coverage that is designed to address certain aspects of cyber risks, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover all losses or all types of claims that may arise in the event we experience a cybersecurity incident, data security breach or disruption, unauthorized access or failure of systems.

A significant data security breach could adversely affect our business and reputation.

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, in our data centers and on our networks, including intellectual property, proprietary business information and personally identifiable information (including of our employees, and of our customers, suppliers and business partners). We areAny data breach may subject us to civil fines and penalties, or regulatory fines or sanctions such as under the GDPR, or equivalent under relevant national laws, and regulations governing the collection, use and transmission of personal information, including health information. As the legislative and regulatory landscape for data privacy and protection continues to evolve around the world, there has been an increasing focus on privacy and data protection issues that may affect our business, including the U.S.’s federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) as amended, (“HIPAA”),and other relevant state and federal privacy laws in the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”),United States including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and other laws and regulations including across our International Markets governingMarkets. Our failure, or the collection, use, disclosure and transmissionfailure of data in other jurisdictions. Although Teva is not currently HIPAA-regulated, certain Teva entities may be in the future, and, we do business with customers who are HIPAA-regulated. Increased focus on compliance with HIPAA and state laws that govern the privacy and security of medical data may impact our business.

HIPAA mandates the adoption of specific standards for electronic transactions and code sets that are used to transmit certain types of health information. To protect the information transmitted using the mandated standards and the patient information used in the daily operations of a covered entity, HIPAA also sets forth federal rules protecting the privacy and security of protected health information (“PHI”). The law provides both criminal and civil fines and penalties for covered entities that failthird-party vendors, to comply with HIPAA. Under HIPAA, covered entities must establish administrative, physicalapplicable laws and technical safeguardsregulations relating to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of electronic PHI maintained or transmitted by them or by others on their behalf. We believe that the covered entities we engage are in material compliance with the privacy,data security and National Provider Identifier requirementsour involvement or the involvement of HIPAA and state laws that regulate the privacy and securityany of medical data.
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (“HITECH”) Act imposed certain of the HIPAA privacy and security requirements directly upon business associates of covered entities and significantly increased the monetary penalties for violations of HIPAA. Regulations also require business associates to notify covered entities, whoour third-party vendors in turn must notify affected individuals and government authorities, ofany data security breaches involving unsecured PHI.

If our efforts to protect the security of personally identifiable information or other sensitive data are unsuccessful, a significantcyber-attack, data breach, security breachincident, or compromise of personal information may result in costly legal claims and liability, financial penalties, government enforcement actions, for example under the GDPR, private litigation, negative publicity or a reduction in supply of essential medicines to the public, each of which could further result in reputation or brand damage with customers, and our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could suffer.

Because our facilities are located throughout the world, we are subject to varying intellectual property laws that may adversely affect our ability to manufacture our products.
We are subject to intellectual property laws in all countries where we have manufacturing facilities. Modifications of such laws or court decisions regarding such laws may adversely affect us and may impact our ability to produce and export products manufactured in any such country in a timely fashion. Additionally, the existence of third-party patents in such countries, with the attendant risk of litigation, may cause us to move

We have significant operations globally, including in countries that may be adversely affected by political or economic instability, major hostilities or acts of terrorism, which exposes us to risks and challenges associated with conducting business internationally.

We are a global pharmaceutical company with worldwide operations. AlthoughAll but a majorityminor portion of our sales in 20212023 were in the United StatesNorth America and Western Europe, and an increasing portion of our sales and operational network are located in other regions. Certain of the regions such as Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe and Asia,in which we operate may be more susceptible to political and economic instability, such as the state of war declared in Israel in October 2023 and the military activity in the region, and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, that could result in a loss of sales in such regions, includingregions. Our global headquarters and several manufacturing and R&D facilities are located in Israel and currently remain largely unaffected, and we have no manufacturing or R&D facilities in Russia or Ukraine. However, the duration, severity and the Ukraine.

As a company that manufactures most of its products outside the United States, a “border adjustment tax” or other restriction on trade, if enacted by the United States, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, given that a significant portion of our business is conducted in the European Union and the U.K., the formal change in the relationship betweendeparture of the U.K. andfrom the European Union caused by the U.K. referendum to leave the European Union, referred(referred to as “Brexit,”“Brexit”), may pose certain implications to our research, commercial and general business operations in the U.K. and the European Union, including the approval and supply of our products. On December 24, 2020, the United Kingdom and European Union agreed on a newThe Trade and Cooperation Agreement from December 2020, between the U.K. and on December 31, 2020, the United Kingdom formally left the transition period. The Trade and Cooperation AgreementEuropean Union, is comprehensive, but does not cover all areas of regulation pertinent to the pharmaceutical industry, so certain complexities remain. Thisremain, and the finalization of the long-term relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union will dictate how both jurisdictions will be impacted and may result in an impact on our business operations in Europe.

Significant portions of our operations are conducted outside the markets in which our products are sold, and accordingly we often import a substantial number of products into such markets. We may, therefore, be denied access to our customers or suppliers or denied the ability to ship products from any of our sites as a result of a closing of the borders of the countries in which we sell our products, or in which our operations are located, due to economic, legislative, political and military conditions, including hostilities and acts of terror, in such

37


countries. In addition, certain countries have put regulations in place requiring local manufacturing of goods, while foreign-made products are subject to pricing penalties or even bans from participation in public procurement auctions.

We face additional risks inherent in conducting business internationally, including compliance with laws and regulations of many jurisdictions that apply to our international operations. These laws and regulations include intellectual property laws, data privacy requirements, labor relations laws, tax laws, competition regulations, import and trade restrictions, economic sanctions, export requirements, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), the UK Bribery Act 2010 and other similar local laws that prohibit corrupt payments to governmental officials or certain payments or remunerations and provisions of things of value to customers.customers and, in some cases, other private sector counterparties. Modifications of such laws or court decisions regarding such laws may adversely affect us and may impact our ability to continue our international operations. Given the high level of complexity of these laws, there is a risk that some provisions may be breached by us, for example through fraudulent or negligent behavior of individual employees (or third parties acting on our behalf), our failure to comply with certain formal documentation requirements, or otherwise. Actions by our employees, or by third-party intermediaries acting on our behalf, in violation of such laws, whether carried out in the United States or elsewhere in connection with the conduct of our business have exposed us, and may further expose us, to significant liability for violations of the FCPA or other anti-corruption laws. In 2016, we paid a monetary fine for FCPA violations and entered into a three yearthree-year deferred prosecution agreement with the DOJ, which included retaining an independent compliance monitor. The FCPA also requires us to keep and maintain accurate books and records and systems of internal controls to prevent bribery and corruption. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in fines, criminal sanctions against us, our officers or our employees, requirements to obtain export licenses, cessation of business activities in sanctioned countries,

39

Table of Contents
implementation of compliance programs and prohibitions on the conduct of our business. Any such violation could include prohibitions on our ability to offer our products in one or more countries and could materially damage our reputation, our brand, our ability to attract and retain employees, our business, our financial condition and our results of operations.

Our corporate headquarters and a sizable portion of our manufacturing activities are located in Israel. Our Israeli operations are dependent upon materials imported from outside Israel. Accordingly, our operations and information technology systems could be materially and adversely affected by acts of terrorism, including through cybersecurity threats, or if major hostilities were to occur in the Middle East or trade between Israel and its present trading partners were materially impaired, including as a result of acts of terrorism in the United States or elsewhere. The state of war declared in Israel in October 2023, and the military activity in the region, may result in disruption to our operations and facilities, such as our manufacturing and R&D facilities located in Israel, and impact our employees, some of which are military reservists being called to active military duty, and impact the economic, social and political stability of Israel.

We may not be able to find or successfully bid for suitable acquisition targets or licensing opportunities, or consummate and integrate future acquisitions.

In addition to pursuing organic growth opportunities, we intend to continue to evaluate and pursue potential acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures and licenses, among other transactions, as part of our strategy to optimize our business and product portfolio and reallocate resources to fund growth. Relying on such transactions as sources of new innovative medicines, biosimilar and other products, or as a means of growth, involves risks that could adversely affect our future revenues and operating results. We may not be successful in seeking or consummating appropriate opportunities to enable us to execute our business strategy. We may not be able to pursue opportunities due to financial capacity constraints, we may not be able to obtain necessary regulatory approvals, and we may fail to consummate an announced acquisition. We may fail to integrate acquisitions successfully into our existing business, and could incur or assume significant debt and unknown or contingent liabilities, including, among others, patent infringement or product liability claims. In addition, we, or the partners with which we may enter into licensing or other collaboration agreements, may not be able to perform effectively under such agreements, impairing our ability to monetize opportunities related to them.

38


We may decide to sell, close or otherwise divest business units, assets or facilities, and any failure to successfully and cost-effectively consummate such divestitures could adversely affect our prospects and opportunities for growth.

We will continue to consider selling, closing or otherwise divesting certain business units, assets and facilities as the focus of our business evolves, including as part of our Pivot to Growth strategy, if we determine that such assets are not critical to our strategy or we believe the opportunity to monetize the asset is attractive or for various other reasons, including for the reduction of indebtedness. For example, as previously announced, we intend to divest our API business in the first half of 2025, which divestiture is subject to various conditions, including reaching an agreement with a prospective purchaser on terms satisfactory to Teva, satisfying any conditions to closing the divestiture and obtaining any necessary approvals. We have also closed or divested a significant number of manufacturing plants and R&D facilities over the prior few years and may close or divest additional plants and facilities as part of our ongoing efforts regarding optimizing our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any divestitures of our business units, assets or facilities, including our intended divestiture of our API business, on the timing or upon the terms we expect, if at all. Such divestitures may also divert management’s attention from our core business operations, increase our expenses in the short-term and disrupt our relationships with existing employees, customers or suppliers.

We may fail to identify appropriate opportunities to divest assets on terms acceptable to us or may fail to transition employees and continuing operations from closed sites and disposed businesses efficiently. If divestiture opportunities are found, consummation of any such divestiture may be subject to closing conditions, including obtaining necessary regulatory approvals, and we may fail to consummate an anticipated divestiture. Although our expectation is to engage in asset sales only if they advance or otherwise support our overall strategy, any such sale could result in disruptions to our business operations, result in unanticipated expenses and reduce the size or scope of our business, the capabilities or durability of our manufacturing network, our market share in particular markets or our opportunities with respect to certain markets. If we are unable to complete our planned divestitures in a timely and cost-effective manner, or we do not realize the anticipated cost savings or other benefits of such transactions, our prospects and opportunities for growth may be negatively impacted.

Risks related to compliance, regulation and litigation

Our operations are subject to extensive pharmaceutical regulation, which can be costlycomplex legal and subjectregulatory environments. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations we may suffer legal consequences that may have a material effect on our business, operations or reputation.

We operate around the world in complex legal and regulatory environments. For instance, we must comply with requirements of the FDA, EMA and other healthcare regulators with respect to disruption, delaysthe manufacture, labeling, sale, distribution, marketing, advertising, promotion and potential penalties.

development of pharmaceutical products, as further described below. We are also subject to pricing laws, including newly-enacted state laws in the United States, which impose penalties for pricing certain products above state-defined threshold, as well as competition laws, economic sanctions, export controls, import and trade laws and regulations, anti-bribery laws, privacy laws, cGMP requirements, labor laws and health and safety laws. Any failure to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations may result in civil and/or criminal legal proceedings and lead to fines, damages, mandatory compliance programs and other sanctions and remedies that may materially affect our business and operations as well as our reputation. In addition, as rules and regulations change or as interpretations of those rules and regulations evolve, our prior conduct may be investigated.

Our business operations are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and various other U.S. federal and state authorities, the EMA and other foreign regulatory authorities.authorities that establish requirements relating to, among other things, manufacturing practices, product labeling, and advertising and post marketing reporting, including adverse event reports and field alerts due to manufacturing quality concerns. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals to market a drug or medical device can be costly and time-consuming, and approvals might not be granted for future products, or additional indications or uses of existing products, on a timely basis, if at all. Delays in the receipt of, or

39


failure to obtain approvals for, future products, or new indications and uses, could result in delayed realization of product revenues, reduction in revenues and substantial additional costs. For example, in the last threerecent years, we experienced delays in obtaining anticipated approvals for various generic and specialty products, and during 2020 and 2021 innovative medicines, some caused by the COVID-19 pandemic caused some delays in approvals due to travel and work restrictions. We may continue to experience similar delays.

In addition, no No assurance can be given that we will remain in compliance with applicable FDA and other regulatory requirements once approval or marketing authorization has been obtained for a product. These requirements include, among other things, regulations regarding manufacturing practices, product labeling, and advertising and post marketing reporting, including adverse event reports and field alerts due to manufacturing quality concerns. Our

Additionally, our facilities are subject to ongoing regulation, including periodic inspection by the FDA and other regulatory authorities, and we must incur expense and expend effort to ensure compliance with these complex regulations. Following an inspection, an agency may issue a notice listing conditions that are believed to violate cGMP or other regulations, or take other regulatory action, including issuing a warning letter for violations of “regulatory significance” that may result in enforcement action if not promptly and adequately corrected. In recent years, regulatory agencies around the world have increased their scrutiny of pharmaceutical manufacturers. This has resulted in requests for product recalls, temporary plant shutdowns to address specific issues and other remedial actions. Our manufacturing facilities, as well as those of our vendors and manufacturing partners, have also been the subject of increased regulatory oversight, leading to increased expenditures required to ensure compliance with new or more stringent production and quality control regulations. These regulatory actions have and may adversely impact our ability to supply various products around the world and to obtain approvals for new products manufactured at the affected facilities. If any regulatory body were to require one or more of our significant manufacturing facilities to cease or limit production, or to halt the approval of new or pending regulatory applications, our business and reputation could be adversely affected. In addition, because regulatory approval to manufacture a drug is site-specific, the delay and cost of remedial actions or obtaining approval to manufacture at a specific facility could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, we are subject to regulations in various jurisdictions, including the Federal Drug Supply Chain Security Act in the U.S., the Falsified Medicines Directive in the European Union and many other such regulations in other countries that require us to develop electronic systems to serialize, track, trace and authenticate units of our products through the supply chain and distribution system. Compliance with these regulations may result in increased expenses for us or impose greater administrative burdens on our organization, and failure to meet these requirements could result in fines or other penalties.

Failure to comply with all applicable regulatory requirements may subject us to operating restrictions and criminal prosecution, monetary penalties and other disciplinary actions, including, sanctions, warning letters, product seizures, recalls, fines, injunctions, suspension, shutdown of production, revocation of approvals or the inability to obtain future approvals, or exclusion from future participation in government healthcare programs. Any of these events could disrupt our business and have a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability and financial condition.

Healthcare reforms,

Governmental and related reductions in pharmaceutical pricing, reimbursementcivil proceedings and coverage, by governmental authorities and third-party payers may adversely affect our business.

The continuing increase in expenditures for healthcare has been the subject of considerable government attention almost everywherelitigation which we conduct business. Private health insurers and government health authorities continue to seek ways to reduceare, or contain healthcare costs, including by reducing or eliminating coverage for certain products and lowering reimbursement levels. The focus on reducing or containing healthcare costs has been fueled by controversies, political debate and publicity about prices for pharmaceutical products that some

consider excessive, including Congressional and other inquiries into drug pricing, including with respect to our specialty medicines, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation. In most of the countries and regions where we operate, including the United States, Western Europe, Israel, Russia, Japan, certain countries in Central and Eastern Europe and several countries in Latin America, pharmaceutical prices are subject to new government policies designed to reduce healthcare costs, and may be subject to additional regulatory efforts, funding restrictions, legislative proposals, policy interpretations, investigations and legal proceedings regarding pricing practices. These changes frequently adversely affect pricing and profitability and may cause delays in market entry. Certain U.S. states have implemented or are considering, pharmaceutical price controls or patient access constraints under the Medicaid program, and some jurisdictions have implemented or are considering price-control regimes that would apply to broader segments of their populations that are not Medicaid-eligible. Private third-party payers, such as health plans, increasingly challenge pharmaceutical product pricing, which could result in lower prices, lower reimbursement rates and a reduction in demand for our products. We cannot predict which additional measures may be adopted or the impact of current and additional measures on the marketing, pricing and demand for our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Significant developments that may adversely affect pricing in the United States include proposed drug pricing and Medicare reforms by Congress and regulatory changesfuture become, party to Medicare Part B (physician administered drugs) and Medicare Part D (prescription drug benefit), additional changes to the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) under the Biden Administration and trends in the practices of managed care groups and institutional and governmental purchasers, including consolidation of our customers. In particular, additional pressure to reduce health care costs in states is critical as the COVID-19 pandemic strained state healthcare budgets and swelled Medicaid enrollment due to economic downturns and job loss as well as additional federal support for state Medicaid programs. Many new Medicaid recipients were previously covered under employer-sponsored plans.
The pharmaceutical industry faces uncertainty regarding the continuation of Medicare’s current drug pricing methodology. For example, on November 27, 2020 the CMS published an Interim Final Rule (“IFR”) that would have imposed a mandatory Most Favored Nation (“MFN”) pricing model on the fifty single-source drugs and biologics (including biosimilars) with the highest annual Medicare Part B spending for seven years, beginning January 1, 2021. The MFN model would have ultimately based payment for each of the fifty drugs on the lowest-available, gross domestic product (“GDP”)-adjusted drug price available in any Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development country that meets minimum GDP requirements. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry organizations as well as several patient support groups filed litigation to enjoin implementation of the IFR. On December 28, 2020, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California imposed a nationwide preliminary injunction on implementation of the IFR pending CMS’s completion of regulatory notice-and-comment rulemaking by CMS. On December 29, 2021, CMS published a final rule that rescinds the IFR, effective February 28, 2022, to address the procedural issues acknowledged in the preliminary injunction. Although the IFR as published will not go into effect, CMS could propose future pharmaceutical pricing changes similar to the IFR, albeit with the required notice and opportunity for stakeholders to participate in the regulatory process.
On November 19, 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Build Back Better Act, which includes several provisions aimed at lowering prescription drug costs and reducing spending by the federal government and private payers by, among other things, allowing the U.S. federal government to negotiate prices for certain high-cost drugs covered under Medicare, imposing rebates on manufacturers of single-source drugs and biologics covered by Medicare Part B and nearly all drugs covered under Part D, if drug prices increase faster than the rate of inflation, based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”). We are actively monitoring legislative developments to understand the likelihood of enactment and how such legislation would impact our business and operations, if enacted.

payers. Healthcare reform legislation has increased the number of patients who have insurance coverage for our products, but provisions such as the assessment of a branded pharmaceutical manufacturer fee and an increase in the amount of rebates that manufacturers pay for coverage of their drugs by Medicaid programs may have an adverse effectimpact on us. It is uncertain how current and future reforms in these areas will influenceour business.

In the futureordinary course of our business, operationswe are exposed to lawsuits, claims, proceedings and financial condition. In addition, “tender systems” for generic pharmaceuticals have been implemented (by both public and private entities) in a number of significant markets in which we operate, including in some European markets, in an effort to lower prices. Under such tender systems, manufacturers submit bids that establish prices for generic pharmaceutical products. These measures impact marketing practices and reimbursement of drugs and may further increase pressure on reimbursement margins. Certain other countries may consider the implementation of a tender system. Failing to win tenders or our withdrawal from participating in tenders, or the implementation of similar systems in other markets leading to further price declines, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

A significant portion of our revenues is derived from sales to a limited number of customers.
A significant portion of our revenues is derived from sales to a limited number of customers. If we were to experience a significant reduction in or loss of business with one or more such customers, or if one or more such customers were to experience difficulty in paying us on a timely basis, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. For a description of our revenue from our main customers, see note 19 to our consolidated financial statements.
We may not be able to find or successfully bid for suitable acquisition targets or licensing opportunities, or consummate and integrate future acquisitions.
We may evaluate or pursue potential acquisitions, strategic alliances and licenses, among other transactions, as part of our business strategy. Relying on acquisitions, licensing agreements and other transactions as sources of new specialty, biosimilar and other products, or as a means of growth, involves risksgovernment investigations that could adversely affect our future revenues and operating results. We may not be successful in seekingpreclude or consummating appropriate opportunities to enable us to execute our business strategy. We may not be able to pursue relevant acquisitions and licensing opportunities due to financial capacity constraints, and we may not be able to obtain necessary regulatory approvals, including those of competition authorities, and as a result, or for other reasons, we may fail to consummate an announced acquisition. We may fail to integrate acquisitions successfully into our existing business, and could incur or assume significant debt and unknown or contingent liabilities, including, among others, patent infringement or product liability claims. In addition, partners for which we may enter into licensing or other collaboration agreements may not be able to perform their responsibilities challengingdelay the ability to monetize opportunities related to them.
We may decide to sell assets, which could adversely affect our prospects and opportunities for growth.
We may from time to time consider selling certain assets if we determine that such assets are not critical to our strategy or we believe the opportunity to monetize the asset is attractive or for various other reasons, including for the reduction of indebtedness. We closed or divested a significant number of manufacturing plants and R&D facilities between 2017 and 2019 in connection with our restructuring plan and may close or divest additional plants and facilities as part of our ongoing efforts regarding network consolidation activities. We have explored and may continue to explore the sale of certain non-core assets. We may fail to identify appropriate opportunities to divest assets on terms acceptable to us or may fail to transition employees and continuing operations from disposed businesses efficiently. If divestiture opportunities are found, consummation of any such divestiture may be subject to closing conditions, including obtaining necessary regulatory approvals, including those of competition authorities, and as a result, or for other reasons, we may fail to consummate an announced divestiture. Although our expectation is to engage in asset sales only if they advance or otherwise support our overall strategy, any such sale could reduce the size or scope of our business, the durability of our manufacturing network, our market share in particular markets or our opportunities with respect to certain markets.

Compliance, regulatory and litigation risks
Our operations are subject to complex legal and regulatory environments. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations we may suffer legal consequences that may have a material effect on our business, operations or reputation.
We operate around the world in complex legal and regulatory environments. Any failure to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations may result in civil and/or criminal legal proceedings and lead to fines, damages, mandated compliance programs and other sanctions and remedies that may materially affect our business and operations as well as our reputation. In addition, as rules and regulations change or as interpretations of those rules and regulations evolve, our prior conduct or that of companies we have acquired may be investigated.
Examples of rules and regulations impacting our operations include rules and regulations applicable to the sales and marketingcommercialization of our products competition laws, trade control laws, anti-bribery laws, privacy laws, compliance with cGMP, labor laws, safety and laws regarding manufacturing practices, product labeling, advertising and post marketing reporting including adverse event reports and field alerts due to manufacturing quality concerns, tax and financial reporting laws and environmental laws.
or disrupt our business operations. We are currently subject to several governmental and civil proceedings and litigations relating to our pricing and marketing practices, intellectual property, product liability, competition matters, opioids, securities disclosure, financial reporting and accounting practices, corporate governance and environmental matters. These investigations and litigations are costly and involve a significant diversion of management attention. Such proceedings are unpredictable and may develop over lengthy periods of time. An adverse resolution of these proceedings may result in large monetary fines, damages, additional litigation, such as securities and derivative actions, and other non-monetary sanctions and remedies, such as mandated compliance agreements, all of which can be expensive and disruptive to operations.our operations and business, and can impact decisions related to our product offerings and portfolio.

Due to increasing numbers of securities claims over the last several years and related payouts under insurance policies, in addition to increased settlement values in “event-driven” litigation and a growing number of plaintiff shareholder law firms eager to bring claims, premiums and deductibles for insurance, including D&O insurance, have been increasing and some insurers are reducing the number of companies they insure, causing the supply of insurance to lag behind demand. This could increase our premiums, reduce the scope and capacity of our coverage, and adversely affect our ability to maintain and renew our existing insurance policies on favorable terms or at all. While we continue to maintain insurance coverage intended to address certain risks, such coverage may be insufficient to cover claims and losses we face.

Healthcare reforms, and related reductions in pharmaceutical pricing, reimbursement and coverage, by governmental authorities and third-party payers may adversely affect our business.

The continuing increase in expenditures for healthcare has been the subject of considerable government attention almost everywhere we conduct business. Private health insurers and government health authorities continue to seek ways to reduce or contain healthcare costs, including by reducing or eliminating coverage for certain products and lowering reimbursement levels. The focus on reducing or containing healthcare costs has been fueled by controversies, political debate and publicity about prices for pharmaceutical products that some consider excessive, including Congressional and other inquiries into drug pricing, including with respect to our innovative medicines, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation. In most of the countries and regions where we operate, including the United States, Western Europe, Israel, Russia, Japan, certain countries in Central and Eastern Europe and several countries in Latin America, pharmaceutical prices are subject to new government policies designed to reduce healthcare costs, and may be subject to additional regulatory efforts, funding restrictions, legislative proposals, policy interpretations, investigations and legal proceedings regarding pricing practices. These changes frequently adversely affect pricing and profitability and may cause delays in market entry, or decisions to forgo or discontinue development programs for our products. Certain U.S. states have implemented or are considering, pharmaceutical price controls or patient access constraints under the Medicaid program, and some jurisdictions have implemented or are considering price-control regimes that would apply to broader segments of their populations that are not Medicaid-eligible. Private third-party payers, such as health plans, increasingly challenge pharmaceutical product pricing, which could result in lower prices, lower reimbursement rates and a reduction in demand for our products. We cannot predict which additional measures may be adopted or the impact of current and additional measures on the marketing, pricing and demand for our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The U.S. Congress and various state legislatures in the United States continue to propose and enact legislative reforms to limit or reduce the cost of healthcare and regulate drug pricing practices. For example, the IRA introduced certain measures that, among other things, limit the price increases of prescription drugs and authorize the Medicare program to negotiate pricing for certain high-cost drugs, including physician-administered and self-administered drugs, that have been on the market for a minimum amount of time without generic competition. The IRA also includes reforms to Medicare benefit design, increasing a manufacturer’s coverage liability for applicable products. As the IRA was only recently enacted, we cannot accurately predict the impact it will have on the profitability of our products or our research and development initiatives. A number of state legislatures have also begun considering legislation that would implement IRA-like frameworks for state regulated insurance markets.

Increased purchasing power of entities that negotiate on behalf of Medicare, Medicaid, and private sector beneficiaries may result in increased pricing pressure by influencing the reimbursement policies of third-party payers. Healthcare reform legislation has increased the number of patients who have insurance coverage for our products, but provisions such as the assessment of a branded pharmaceutical manufacturer fee and an increase in the amount of rebates that manufacturers pay for coverage of their drugs by Medicaid programs may have an adverse effect on us. It is uncertain how current and future reforms in these areas will influence the future of our

Certain other countries may consider the implementation of a tender system. Failing to win tenders or our withdrawal from participating in tenders, or the implementation of similar systems in other markets leading to further price declines, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

Public concern over the abuse of opioid medications, including increased legal and regulatory action and the nationwide settlement could negatively affect our business.

Certain governmental and regulatory agencies are focused on the abuse of opioid medications in the United States. U.S. federal, state and local governmental and regulatory agencies are conductinghave conducted and may in the future conduct investigations of us, other pharmaceutical manufacturers and other supply chain participants with regard to the manufacture, sale, marketing and distribution of opioid medications. A number of state attorneys general, includingIn June 2023, we consummated a coordinated multistate effort, are investigating our marketing, sales and distribution of opioids, and we have received subpoenas from the DOJ seeking documents relatingnationwide settlement to the manufacture, marketing and sale of opioid medications. In addition, we are currently litigating civilsettle claims and administrative actions brought by various states and political subdivisions as well as private claimants, against various manufacturers, distributors and retail pharmacies throughout the United States in connection with our manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of opioids. Also, several jurisdictionsThe payments required to be made under this settlement agreement and consumersothers may have an adverse impact on our operations and cash flows and there is no assurance that we will have the liquidity or other resources necessary to make such payments and provide supplies of our generic version of Narcan® (naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray) in the amounts and at the times required under the terms of our nationwide settlements. For further information, see “Opioids Litigation” in note 12b to our consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, we are defending claims and putative class action lawsuits in Canada have initiated litigation regarding opioids alleging similar claims as those in relation to the United States,manufacture, sale, marketing and we may be sued in other jurisdictions globally for similar claims as well.distribution of opioid medications. The loss or settlement of any such claims related to opioids could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity. For further information, see “Opioids Litigation” in note 12b to our consolidated financial statements.

In addition to the costs and potential consequences associated with defending the governmental investigations and legal proceedings, legislative, regulatory or industry measures to address the misuse of prescription opioid medications may also affect our business in ways that we are not able to predict. For example, a number of states, including New York, have enacted legislation that requires the payment of assessments or taxes on the sale or distribution of opioid medications in those states. If other statestates or local jurisdictions successfully enact similar legislation and we are not able to mitigate the impact on our business through operational changes or commercial arrangements, such legislation in the aggregate may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, we utilize controlled substances in certain of our current products and products in development, and therefore must meet the requirements of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 and related regulations administered by the DEA in the U.S., as well as the requirements of similar laws and regulations in other countries where we operate, relating to the manufacture, importation, shipment, storage, sale, and use of controlled substances. While we are committed to compliance and have robust compliance systems in place, riskrisks associated with these laws and regulations cannot be entirely eliminated by policies and procedures. The DEA and other regulatory agencies also set annual procurement quotas that limit the availabilityFor example, violations of the controlled substances used in certainControlled Substances Act of 1970 and related laws and regulations by direct customers (such as distributors and wholesalers), down-stream customers (such as pharmacies) and health-care providers may expose us to liability and penalties and could have a material adverse effect on our current products and products in development, and quota levels may impact our ability to meet commercial demand business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or complete clinical trials.share price. In addition, prescription drug abuse and the diversion of opioids and other controlled substances are the frequent subject of public attention, which presents significant reputational risk.including, for example, past media reports over the appropriateness of prescription of medications used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The occurrence of any of the above risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, reputations, results of operations, cash flows and/or share price.

The pharmaceutical sector is facing increased government scrutiny from competition and pricing authorities around the world, which may expose us to significant damages and commercial restrictions that can materially and adversely affect our business.

We are required to comply with competition laws in the territories where we do business around the world. Compliance with these laws has been the subject of increasing focus and activity by regulatory authorities, both in the United States and Europe, in recent years. Alleged actions by our employees, in violation of such laws, or evolving interpretations of competition law as applicable to certain practices, have exposed us, and may further expose us, to investigations and legal proceedings, which may result in significant liability for violations of competition laws, which may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

We arehave been and may in the future be subject to investigations, claims and proceedings relating to price fixing and violations of related laws and regulations, such as the Sherman Act. In August 2023, we reached a deferred prosecution agreement with the DOJ civil investigation and a criminal indictment charging Teva USA with criminal felony Sherman Act violations, that, if resultingto settle certain price-fixing charges brought against us in a conviction or guilty plea, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including monetary penalties, debarment from federally funded health care programs and reputational harm.2020. In addition, we are a party to numerous civil claims brought by state officials and private plaintiffs alleging that Teva, together with other pharmaceutical manufacturers, engaged in conspiracies to fix prices and/or allocate market share of generic products in the United States.

For further information, see “Government Investigations and Litigation Relating to Pricing and Marketing” in note 12b to our consolidated financial statements. If any investigations, claims or proceedings are adversely determined against us, we may face material adverse effects on our business, including monetary penalties, debarment from federally funded health care programs and reputational harm. We have been involved in numerous litigations involving challenges to the validity or enforceability of listed patents (including our own), and therefore settling patent litigations has been and will likely continue to be an important part of our business. There is continued scrutiny of our patent settlements, including from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the European Commission. Accordingly, we may receive formal or informal requests from competition law authorities around the world for information about a particular settlement agreement, and there is a risk that governmental authorities, customers, other downstream purchasers or others may commence actions against us alleging violations of antitrust laws based on our settlement agreements. We are currently defendants in antitrust actions brought by U.S. states, the European Commission and private plaintiffs involving numerous settlement agreements and, since 2015, we are subject to a consent decree with the FTC, which imposes on us certain injunctive reliefs with respect to our ability to enter into patent settlements in the United States. The U.S. Congress and certain state legislatures in the United States have also passed, or
44

Table of Contents
proposed passing, legislation that could adversely impact our ability to settle patent litigations. For example, the State of California has enacted legislation that prohibits, with certain exceptions and safe harbors, various types of patent litigation settlements, and imposes substantial monetary penalties on companies and individuals who do not comply. The enforcement of this law has been preliminarily enjoined as likely violating the U.S. Constitution, but such legislation still creates a risk of significant potential exposure for settling patent litigations and, in turn, makes it more difficult to settle in the first place, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Following calls in recent years from policy makers and other stakeholders in many countries for governmental intervention to address the high prices of certain pharmaceutical products, we are currently, and may in the future be, subject to governmental investigations, claims or other legal or regulatory actions regarding our pricing and/or other alleged exclusionary practices. These include U.S. Congressional investigations regarding both our specialtyinnovative medicines and generic medicines, the European Commission’s inquiry into COPAXONE, and litigation concerning the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority’s inquiry regarding hydrocortisone. For example, in September 2020, the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform held a hearing focused on pricing of branded medications, which focused in part on historic pricing of COPAXONE in the U.S., and subsequently issued a report with respect to COPAXONE’s pricing. It is not possibleAdditionally, on October 10, 2022, the European Commission issued a Statement of Objections, which sets forth its preliminary allegations that Teva had engaged in anti-competitive practices relating to predictCOPAXONE. In November 2023, the ultimate outcomeFTC notified Teva and other pharmaceutical companies as well as the FDA, under 21 CFR 314.53, that in the FTC’s view, certain of anyour and other pharmaceutical companies’ patents have been improperly listed in the Orange

Book, resulting in potential delays to generic competition, and subsequently, certain members of the U.S. congress reiterated the concerns of the FTC. Any such investigations, claims or proceedings or what other investigations or lawsuits or regulatory responsesinvestigation may result from such assertions, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. For further information, see “Competition Matters” and “Government Investigations and Litigation Relating to Pricing and Marketing” in note 12b to our consolidated financial statements.

Third parties may claim that we infringe their proprietaryintellectual property rights and we may prevent us from manufacturing and selling some of our products, and we have sold andor may in the future elect to sell products prior to the final resolution of outstanding patentintellectual property litigation, and, as a result, we may be prevented from manufacturing and selling some of our products and could be subject to liability for damages in the United States, Europe and other markets where we do business.

Our ability to introduce new products depends in large part upon the success of our challenges to patent rights held by third parties or our ability to develop non-infringing products. Based upon a variety of legal and commercial factors, we may elect to sell a product even though patent litigation is still pending, either before any court decision is rendered or while an appeal of a lower court decision is pending. The outcome of such patent litigation could, in certain cases, materially adversely affect our business. For further information, see “Intellectual Property Litigation” in note 12b to our consolidated financial statements.

If we sell products prior to a final court decision, whether in the United States, Europe or elsewhere, and such decision is adverse to us, we could be required to cease selling the infringing products, causing us to lose future sales revenue from such products and towe could face substantial liabilities for patent infringement, in the form of either payment for the innovator’s lost profits or a royalty on our sales of the infringing products. These damages may be significant and could materially adversely affect our business. In the United States, in the event of a finding of willful infringement, the damages assessed may be up to three times the profits lost by the patent owner. Because of the discount pricing typically involved with generic pharmaceutical products, patented brand products generally realize a significantly higher profit margin than generic pharmaceutical products. As a result, the damages assessed may be significantly higher than our profits. In addition, even if we do not suffer damages, we may incur significant legal and related expenses in the course of successfully defending against infringement claims.

We may be susceptible to significant product liability claims that are not covered by insurance.

Our business inherently exposes us to claims for injuries allegedly resulting from the use of our products. As our portfolio of available products expands, particularly with new specialty products,innovative medicines, we may experience increases in product liability claims asserted against us.

For further information regarding our current material product liability cases, see note 12b to our consolidated financial statements.

Any failure to comply with the complex reporting and payment obligations under the Medicare and Medicaid programs may result in further litigation or sanctions, in addition to those that we have announced in previous years.

The U.S. laws and regulations regarding Medicare and/or Medicaid reimbursement and rebates and other governmental programs are complex. Some of the applicable laws may impose liability even in the absence of specific intent to defraud. The subjective decisions and complex methodologies used in making calculations

under these programs are subject to review and challenge, and it is possible that such reviews could result in material changes. In addition, the U.S. government has alleged violations of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, and related causes of action under the federal False Claims Act and state law in connection with Teva’s donations to patient assistance programs. Such allegations could, if proven or settled, result in additional monetary penalties (beyond the lawsuits we have already settled) and possible exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other programs. In addition, we are notified from time to time of governmental investigations regarding drug reimbursement or pricing issues. For further information, see “Government Investigations and Litigation Relating to Pricing and Marketing” in note 12b to our consolidated financial statements. Certain parts of Medicare benefits are under scrutiny, as the U.S. Congress looks for ways to reduce government spending on prescription medicines.

Sanctions and other trade control laws create the potential for significant liabilities, penalties and reputational harm.

As a company with global operations, we may beare subject to national laws as well as international treaties and conventions controlling imports, exports, re-export, transfer and diversion of goods (including finished goods, materials, APIs, packaging materials, other products and machines), services and technology. These include import and customs laws, export controls, trade embargoes and economic sanctions, restrictions on sales to parties that are listed on (or are owned or controlled by one or more parties listed on) denied party watch lists and anti-boycott measures (collectively “Customs and Trade Controls”). Applicable Customs and Trade Controls are administered by Israel’s Ministry of Finance, the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, (OFAC), the U.S. Department of Commerce, other U.S. agencies and multiple other agencies of other jurisdictions around the world where we do business. Customs and Trade Controls relate to a number of aspects of our business, including most notably the sales of finished goods and API as well as the licensing of our intellectual property. Compliance with Customs and Trade Controls has been the subject of increasing focus and activity by regulatory authorities, both in the United States and elsewhere, in recent years, and requirements under applicable Customs and Trade Controls in general, change frequently. Sanctions imposed with respect to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine have been particularly dynamic and future geopolitical conflicts involving other jurisdictions may result in further changes to the sanctions environment. Any such changes to the sanctions environment may require us to withdraw from or limit our exposure to certain markets or to terminate certain business relationships in order to remain in compliance with applicable laws. Although we have policies and procedures designed to address compliance with Customs and Trade Controls, actions by our employees, by third-party intermediaries (such as distributors and wholesalers) or others acting on our behalf in violation of relevant laws and regulations may expose us to liability and penalties for violations of Customs and Trade Controls and accordingly may have a material adverse effect on our reputation and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our failure to comply with applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations worldwide could adversely impact our business and results of operations.

We are subject to laws and regulations concerning the environment, safety matters, regulation of chemicals and product safety in the countries where we manufacture and sell our products or otherwise operate our business. These requirements include regulation of the handling, manufacture, transportation, storage, use and disposal of materials, including the discharge of pollutants and pharmaceutical residues into the environment. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, we may be subject to enforcement proceedings including fines and penalties. In the normal course of our business, we are also exposed to risks relating to possible releases of hazardous substances into the environment, which could cause environmental or property damage or personal injuries, and which could require remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. Under certain laws, we may be required to remediate contamination at certain of our properties, regardless of whether the contamination was caused by us or by previous occupants or users of the property. Climate change, and evolving laws, regulations and policies regarding climate change, could also pose additional legal or regulatory requirements related to greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions and climate risk reporting, carbon pricing, and mandatory reduction targets. These more stringent requirements could increase our costs of sourcing, production, and transportation, as well as

45


have negative reputational impacts if we fail to meet such requirements. While we have set avalidated Science-Based TargetTargets for GHG reductions, failure to respond to risks regarding climate change may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.

The consequences of climate change, such as extreme weather and water scarcity, could pose risks to our facilities and disruption of our activities.

Natural disasters and extreme weather events resulting from climate change, such as floods, heatwaves, blizzards, hurricanes, wildfires, the rise of sea level, and water stress, could impact our business activities and our ability to deliver our products to customers. We evaluate these risks in our supply planning, loss prevention and business continuity planning. The implementation of an Environmental, Health and Safety Management System across our facilities has resulted in the development of processes to prepare and respond to a range of natural emergencies that may occur, including extreme weather events. We have been placing increased attention on water management, implementing a scarcity-focused approach to water conservation to align with community needs and advance toward sustainable operations. If our planning and risk management regarding natural disasters and extreme weather events fail, our facilities could be impacted and our activities could be significantly disrupted.

Our business could be negatively impacted by ESG issues.

In recent years, there has been an increased focus from certain investors, employees, consumers, regulators (including the SEC), and other stakeholders concerning ESG matters. These matters can contribute to the long-term sustainability of companies’ performance and an inability to successfully perform on ESG matters can result in negative impacts to our reputation, recruitment, retention, operations, financial results, and the price of our shares.shares, and our ability to attract or retain certain types of customers and investors. From time to time, we announce certain initiatives, including goals, regarding our focus areas, which include environmental matters, responsible sourcing,procurement, promoting access to medicines, social investments, compliance and ethics and I&D. We could fail, or be perceived to fail, either in identifying our ESG focus areas, or in our achievement of suchour initiatives or goals, whether described in our announcements, our ESG progress report or otherwise, or we could fail to accurately report our progress on such initiatives and goals. Such failures could be due to changes in our business. For example,business or evolving regulations in the countries in which we operate, and any such failures or perceived failures could expose us to negative impacts, including government enforcement actions or private litigation. We have also issued sustainability-linked senior notes with targets that include improving access to medicines in low- and middle-income countries and reducing GHG emissions, and failure to achieve such targets could negatively impact our reputation and also result in increased payments to holders of such senior notes. Moreover, the standards by which ESG matters are measured are developing and evolving, and certain areas are subject to assumptions that could change over time.

A variety of organizations measure performance on ESG topics, including on topics such as the cost, even if unintended, of our actions on climate change and inequality in society. In addition, weWe could be criticized for the scope of such initiatives or goals or perceived as not acting responsibly or far enough in connection with these matters. Any such ESG matters could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of

operations.industries, including the pharmaceutical industry, are experiencing increased shareholder activism regarding ESG matters. If we are required to respond to actions by activist shareholders, we could incur disruptions to the operation of our business and our management’s attention could be diverted. While we monitor a broad range of ESG issues, there can be no certainty that we will manage such issues successfully, or that we will successfully meet the expectations of investors, employees, consumers and other stakeholders.

Moreover, our selection of disclosure frameworks that seek to align with various reporting standards may change from time to time and may result in lack of meaningful or comparative data from period to period. Our interpretation of reporting standards may differ from those of others and such standards may change over time, any of which could result in significant revisions to our goals or reported progress in achieving such goals. Collecting, measuring, and reporting ESG information and metrics can be costly, difficult and time consuming, is subject to evolving reporting standards, and can present numerous operational, reputational, financial, legal and

46


Additional

other risks, any of which could have a material impact, including on our business, financial condition, reputation and stock price. Inadequate processes to collect and review this data and information prior to disclosure could be subject to potential liability related to such information.

Furthermore, there are an increasing number of ESG-related regulatory disclosure regulations with which Teva may have to comply. For example, in December 2022, the European Union adopted Directive No 2464/2022 on Corporate Sustainability Reporting (“CSRD”). The CSRD introduces detailed sustainability reporting obligations, requiring in-scope companies to make sustainability reports in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (“ESRS”), which include certain mandatory disclosures and other voluntary disclosures on impacts, risks,

and opportunities in relation to sustainability matters identified as material by the relevant entity. In addition to assessing the financial effects of a sustainability matter on a company, materiality assessments will require the relevant company to take into account non-financial considerations as to the materiality of a sustainability matter from an impact perspective when it pertains to the undertaking’s actual or potential, positive or negative impacts on people or the environment over the short-, medium-or long-term. Impacts may include those connected with the company’s own operations and upstream and downstream value chain, including through its products and services, as well as through its business relationships. Teva expects to first have to disclose pursuant to the CSRD, in accordance with the ESRS, in 2026. Furthermore, Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (EU Taxonomy) requires those in-scope companies to report how and to what extent their activities are associated with economic activities that qualify as environmentally sustainable defined herein. This disclosure obligation may lead to increased compliance burdens and costs. Additionally, could lead to the disclosure of information which may have a negative impact on our operations and reputation, and which may lead to additional exposure. Failure to accurately comply with any ESG reporting obligations may result in enforcement actions, sanctions, reputational harm or private litigation.

Risks related to our financial condition

Because we have substantial international operations, our sales, profits and cash flow may be adversely affected by currency fluctuations and restrictions as well as credit risks.

Fluctuations in exchange rates between the currencies in which we operate in, and the U.S. dollar, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, the value of balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies and our financial condition.

In 2021,2023, approximately 48%47% of our revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, we are subject to significant foreign currency risks, including repatriation restrictions in certain countries, and may face heightened risks as we enter new markets. A substantial proportion of our sales, particularly in Latin America, Central and Eastern European countries and Asia, are recorded in local currencies, which exposes us to the direct risk of devaluations, hyperinflation or exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, although the majority of our operating costs are recorded in, or linked to, the U.S. dollar, in 2021,2023, we incurred a substantial amount of operating costs in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which only partially offset the currency risk derived from our sales in non-U.S. dollars.

Moreover, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies in which we operate, negatively impacted our revenues, results of operations, profits and cash flows. We use derivative financial instruments and “hedging” techniques, such as issuance of debt in non-U.S. dollar currencies, to manage our balance sheet and income statement exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations in the major foreign currencies in which we operate. However, not all of our potential exposure is covered, and some elements of our consolidated financial statements, such as our equity position, are not protected against foreign currency exposures. Therefore, our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

The imposition of price controls or restrictions on the conversion of foreign currencies could also have a material adverse effect on our financial results. In addition, operating internationally exposes us to credit risks of customers and other counterparties in a number of jurisdictions. Some of these customers and other counterparties may have lesser creditworthiness than others and the legal system for enforcing collections in such jurisdictions may be less well-developed.

47


Our intangiblelong-lived assets may continue to lead to significant impairments in the future.

We regularly review our long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets, goodwill and property, plant and equipment, for impairment. Goodwill and acquired indefinite life intangible assets are subject to impairment review on an annual basis and whenever potential impairment indicators are present. Other long-lived assets are reviewed when there is an indication that impairment may have occurred. The amount of goodwill, identifiable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment on our consolidated balance sheet may increase following acquisitions or other collaboration agreements. Changes in market conditions, including further increases in discount rates, exchange rate fluctuations, or other changes in the future outlook of value may lead to further impairments in the future. In addition, the potential divestment of assets, including the closure or divestment of manufacturing plants and R&D facilities, headquarters and other office locations, may lead to additional impairments. Future events or decisions may lead to asset impairments and/or related charges. For assets that are not impaired, we may adjust the remaining useful lives. Certain non-cash impairments may result from a change in our strategic goals, business direction or other factors relating to the overall business environment. Any significant impairment could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. See notes 6 and 7 in our consolidated financial statements, for descriptions of impairments of intangible assets and goodwill in recent periods.

Our tax liabilities could be larger than anticipated.

We are subject to tax in many jurisdictions, and significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes. Likewise, we are subject to audit by tax authorities in many jurisdictions. In such audits, our interpretation of tax legislation may be challenged and tax authorities in various jurisdictions may disagree with, and subsequently challenge, the amount of profits taxed in such jurisdictions under our inter-company agreements.

Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, the ultimate outcome of such audits and related litigation could be different from our provision for taxes and may have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements and cash flows.

Proposed tax legislation in certain of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including the proposed Build Back Better Act in the United States, could have a material adverse effect on For additional information see note 13 to our tax liabilities.
consolidated financial statements.

The base erosion and profit shifting (“BEPS”) project undertaken by the Organization for Economic CooperationCo-operation and Development (“OECD”) may have adverse consequences to our tax liabilities. The BEPS project contemplates changes to numerous international tax principles, as well as national tax incentives, and these changes, when adopted by individual countries, could adversely affect our provision for income taxes. The first wave of BEPS recommendations has been implemented by countries in specific national tax laws, and the OECD is currently working on further initiatives that may further change current international tax principles. It remains difficultOn December 12, 2022, the EU Council announced that EU member states had reached an agreement to predictimplement at EU level the magnitudeminimum taxation component of 15% (“Pillar Two”) of the effectOECD’s reform of suchinternational taxation, commencing in 2024.

statements in the foreseeable future.

The termination or expiration of governmental programs or tax benefits, or a change in our business, could adversely affect our overall effective tax rate.

Our tax expenses and the resulting effective tax rate reflected in our consolidated financial statements may increase over time as a result of changes in corporate income tax rates, other changes in the tax laws of the various countries in which we operate or changes in our product mix or the mix of countries where we generate profit. We have benefited, and currently benefit, from a variety of Israeli and other government programs and tax benefits that generally carry conditions that we must meet in order to be eligible to obtain such benefits. If we fail to meet the conditions upon which certain favorable tax treatment is based, we would not be able to claim future

48


tax benefits and could be required to refund tax benefits already received. Additionally, some of these programs and the related tax benefits are available to us for a limited number of years, and these benefits expire from time to time.

Any of the following could have a material effect on our overall effective tax rate:

some government programs may be discontinued, or the applicable tax rates may increase;
we may be unable to meet the requirements for continuing to qualify for some programs and the restructuring plan may lead to the loss of certain tax benefits we currently receive;
these programs and tax benefits may be unavailable at their current levels;
upon expiration of a particular benefit, we may not be eligible to participate in a new program or qualify for a new tax benefit that would offset the loss of the expiring tax benefit; or
we may be required to refund previously recognized tax benefits if we are found to be in violation of the stipulated conditions.
Equity

Failure to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our ability to report our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows accurately and on a timely basis and could harm our reputation.

As a publicly traded company, we are subject to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. As part of its annual review of the effectiveness of Teva’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financing reporting. The identified material weakness will be considered remediated once additional internal controls are designed, implemented and operate effectively for a sufficient period of time to allow management to conclude that the material weakness has been fully remediated. However, there is no assurance as to when we will be able to fully remediate the identified material weakness or if additional material weaknesses will be identified. Any failure to implement remedial measures and to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on the market for our ordinary shares. For a discussion of our internal control over financial reporting and a description of the identified material weakness and remediation plan, see “Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Shareholder rights and responsibilities as a shareholder are governed by Israeli law, which differs in some material respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders of U.S. companies.

The rights and responsibilities of the holders of our ordinary shares are governed by our articles of association and by Israeli law. These rights and responsibilities differ in some material respects from the rights

Table of Contents
and responsibilities of shareholders of U.S. corporations. In particular, a shareholder of an Israeli company has a duty to act in good faith and in a customary manner in exercising his or her rights and performing his or her obligations towards the company and other shareholders, and to refrain from abusing his or her power in the company, including, among other things, in voting at a general meeting of shareholders on matters such as amendments to a company’s articles of association, increases in a company’s authorized share capital, mergers and acquisitions and related party transactions requiring shareholder approval. In addition, a shareholder who is aware that it possesses the power to determine the outcome of a shareholder vote or to appoint or prevent the appointment of a director or executive officer in the company has a duty of fairness toward the company. There is limited case law available to assist in understanding the nature of this duty or the implications of these provisions. These provisions may be interpreted to impose additional obligations and liabilities on holders of our ordinary shares that are not typically imposed on shareholders of U.S. corporations.

Provisions of Israeli law and our articles of association may delay, prevent or make difficult an acquisition of us, prevent a change of control and negatively impact our share price.

Israeli corporate law regulates acquisitions of shares through tender offers and mergers, requires special approvals for transactions involving directors, officers or significant shareholders, and regulates other matters

49


that may be relevant to these types of transactions. Furthermore, Israeli tax considerations may make potential acquisition transactions unappealing to us or to some of our shareholders. For example, Israeli tax law may subject a shareholder who exchanges his or her ordinary shares for shares in a foreign corporation to taxation before disposition of the investment in the foreign corporation. These provisions of Israeli law may delay, prevent or make difficult an acquisition of our company, which could prevent a change of control and, therefore, depress the price of our shares.

In addition, our articles of association contain certain provisions that may make it more difficult to acquire us, such as provisions that provide for a classified board of directors and that our Board of Directors may issue preferred shares. These provisions may have the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control of us, thereby limiting the opportunity for shareholders to receive a premium for their shares and possibly affecting the price that some investors are willing to pay for our securities.

Our ADSsAmerican Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) and ordinary shares are traded on different marketsstock exchanges and this may result in price variations.

Our ADSs have been traded in the United States since 1982, and on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) since 2012, and our ordinary shares have been listed on the TASE since 1951. Trading in our securities on these markets takes place in different currencies (our ADSs are traded in U.S. dollars and our ordinary shares are traded in New Israeli Shekels), and at different times (resulting from different time zones, different trading days and different public holidays in the United States and Israel). As a result, the trading prices of our securities on these two markets may differ due to these factors. In addition, any decrease in the price of our securities on one of these markets could cause a decrease in the trading price of our securities on the other market.

It may be difficult to enforce non-Israeli judgments in Israeli courts against us, our officers and our directors.

We are incorporated in Israel. Certain of our executive officers and directors and our outside auditors are not residents of the United States, and a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to file or enforce an action against us or any of those persons under non-Israeli law in an Israeli court. In addition, an Israeli court may be deemed

for such legal proceedings. It may also be difficult to effect service of process on these persons in the United States, Europe or elsewhere.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity Risk Management Program Overview

As cybersecurity threats rapidly evolve in sophistication and become more prevalent, especially with the increasing use of artificial intelligence technology, we have implemented a cybersecurity risk management program as part of our oversight, evaluation and mitigation of enterprise-level risks. Our cybersecurity risk management program leverages a combination of processes, technologies and personnel with expertise in cybersecurity to comply with applicable regulations and detect and respond to cyber-attacks, data breaches, security incidents, and compromises of personal information, as well as to regularly and promptly inform management and our Board of Directors of any significant cybersecurity risks and developments.

Our cybersecurity risk management program is led by our global Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”), who is directly responsible for establishing cybersecurity strategies and structures and managing ongoing cybersecurity risk management activities through our information security office, which is responsible for the day-to-day identification, monitoring and management of cybersecurity risks. Our CISO reports directly to our global Chief Information Officer (“CIO”). Our CISO has significant experience in managing cybersecurity risks at major global companies in the pharmaceutical and defense industries. Our CISO regularly meets with the CIO to provide updates on cybersecurity matters. Our CIO updates our executive management on a regular basis

50


to share cybersecurity related matters and discuss strategies to proactively manage cybersecurity threats. Our CISO and CIO brief our Audit Committee on our cybersecurity and risk management programs.

Our information security office is supported by a team consisting of personnel with experience and expertise in cybersecurity risk management strategies, execution and operations, with domain expertise in cloud services security, infrastructure and operational technology security, cybersecurity incident response, and tactical governance risk compliance.

Our CISO and CIO are also members of our information and security governance group, led by our CIO, which is comprised of executive and senior leadership from a variety of functions, including information security, corporate security, legal, finance, human resources, internal audit and compliance, as well as members of Teva’s global situation room (“GSR”). Additionally, our CISO, CIO and other members of our information security office may, from time to time, consult and coordinate with other Teva departments and members of management to manage cybersecurity risks and implement cybersecurity incident responses.

In addition, management has worked, and expects to continue to work, with third-party service providers, as appropriate, to assess, identify and manage cybersecurity risks. Management also conducts periodic and on-demand assessments of our cybersecurity risk management program with expert service providers to ensure it complies with and meets current ISO 27001 standards. In early 2024, our management team performed an exercise tabletop relating to potential cybersecurity risks.

As part of its overall risk oversight function, our Audit Committee, which is comprised entirely of independent directors, considers cybersecurity risks in connection with overseeing our overall enterprise risk management system. Management, including our CISO and CIO, provide updates on our cybersecurity risk management program and cybersecurity matters to the Audit Committee, and also reports to the Board of Directors as necessary. During 2023, the Board received dedicated cybersecurity training and performed an exercise tabletop relating to potential cybersecurity risks. As part of our cybersecurity risk management program, we maintain industry standard procedures and policies, which are reviewed and revised frequently, and certified to comply with ISO 27001 standards, to both proactively assess, identify and manage potential cybersecurity risks and respond to any actual cybersecurity threats and incidents. Such procedures and policies include: actively monitoring our information technology systems to ensure compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements; engaging third-party consultants and other service providers to monitor and, as appropriate, respond to cybersecurity risks; requiring our service providers and our business partners who connect directly to our information technology systems, to comply with our cybersecurity standards, due diligence processes and be subject to our non-disclosure and other confidentiality agreements that include cybersecurity-related terms; providing and analyzing specialized industry sector intelligence on cybersecurity threats; regularly testing our cybersecurity systems and disaster preparedness, including our back-up information technology systems; developing and updating incident response plans to address potential cybersecurity threats; and maintaining and training our personnel on cybersecurity incident reporting procedures.

Cyber Threats and Incident Response

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store confidential data, including intellectual property, proprietary business information and personally identifiable information (including of our employees, customers, suppliers and business partners). We rely extensively on information technology systems, including some systems that are managed by third-party service providers, to securely process, store and transmit such confidential data in order to conduct our business. These systems include programs and processes relating to internal and external communications, ordering and managing materials from suppliers, collecting, processing and storing data produced by our clinical trials and other research and development initiatives, converting materials to finished products, shipping products to customers, processing transactions, processing payments to employees and vendors, calculating sales receivables, generating our financial results for each reporting period, summarizing and reporting results of operations, and complying with information technology security compliance and other regulatory, legal or tax requirements.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are not aware of any cybersecurity risks that are reasonably likely to materially affect our business. However, our systems and networks have been, and are expected to continue to be, the target of increasingly advanced and evolving cyber-attacks and cybersecurity incidents in the future may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations, and we are continuing to actively monitor such threats. For more information, see “Item 1A, Risk Factors—Risks related to our general business and operations—Significant disruptions of our information technology systems could adversely affect our business” and “Item 1A, Risk Factors—Risks related to our general business and operations—A data security breach could adversely affect our business and reputation.”

In the event that we experience a cybersecurity incident, we have a cybersecurity incident response playbook that sets forth the applicable processes, roles, engagements, escalations and notifications to be executed in order to promptly respond to such threats. Depending on its nature and scale, a cybersecurity threat may be managed within our information security office, escalated to our CISO and CIO, or escalated to our management, and Board of Directors and Audit Committee, as appropriate. In certain instances, our GSR may be initiated and will collectively manage Teva’s response to a crisis on a corporate level. The GSR is comprised of members from our various business units and regions, including senior leadership from a variety of functions, such as information security, legal, finance, human resources, communications and compliance.

We carry insurance that provides protection against the potential losses arising from a cybersecurity incident. However, there is no assurance that our insurance coverage will cover or be sufficient to cover all losses or claims that may result from a cybersecurity incident.

Business Overview

We are a global pharmaceutical company, committed to helping patients around the world to access affordable medicines and benefit from innovations to improve their health. Our mission is to be a global leader in generics, specialtyinnovative medicines and biopharmaceuticals, improving the lives of patients.

We operate worldwide, with headquarters in Israel and a significant presence in the United States, Europe and many other markets around the world. Our key strengths include our world-leading generic medicines expertise and portfolio, focused specialtyinnovative medicines portfolio and global infrastructure and scale.

Teva was incorporated in Israel on February 13, 1944 and is the successor to a number of Israeli corporations, the oldest of which was established in 1901.

Our Business Segments

We operate our business through three segments: North America, Europe and International Markets. Each business segment manages our entire product portfolio in its region, including generics, specialtywhich includes biosimilars and OTC products.products, as well as innovative medicines. This structure enables strong alignment and integration between operations, commercial regions, R&D and our global marketing and portfolio function, optimizing our product lifecycle across therapeutic areas.

In addition to these three segments, we have other activities, primarily the sale of API to third parties, certain contract manufacturing services and an out-licensing platform offering a portfolio of products to other pharmaceutical companies through our affiliate Medis.

Pivot to Growth Strategy

In May 2023, we introduced our new “Pivot to Growth” strategy, which is based on four key pillars: (i) delivering on our growth engines, mainly AUSTEDO, AJOVY, UZEDY and our late-stage pipeline of biosimilars; (ii) stepping up innovation through delivering on our late-stage innovative pipeline assets as well as building up our early-stage pipeline organically and potentially through business development activities; (iii) sustaining our generics medicines powerhouse with a leading global pharmaceutical company, Teva provides essential medicinescommercial footprint, focused portfolio, pipeline and manufacturing footprint; and (iv) focusing our business by optimizing our portfolio and global manufacturing footprint to millions of patients around the world every day. Our priorities remain focused on the healthenable strategic capital deployment to accelerate our near and well-beinglong-term growth engines and reorganizing certain of our employeesbusiness units to a more optimal structure, while also reorganizing key business units to enhance operational efficiency.

Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Environment

In recent years, the global economy has been impacted by fluctuating foreign exchange rates. Approximately 47% of our revenues are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and we manufacture our products largely outside of the United States. Fluctuations in the U.S. dollar versus other currencies in which we operate may materially impact our revenues, results of operations, profits and cash flows. Additionally, high levels of inflation have recently resulted in significant economic volatility and monetary tightening by central banks through increasing interest rates. In addition to rising inflation, heightened interest rates and fluctuating foreign exchange rates, the global economy has also been impacted by geopolitical tensions which have resulted in disruptions to global supply chains, including to our internal supply chain. In October 2023, Israel was attacked by a terrorist organization and entered a state of war. Our global headquarters as well as several of our manufacturing and R&D facilities are located in Israel and, while operations there currently remain largely unaffected, the impact of this war on our responsibility tooperations may increase, which could be material, as a result of

56


the continuation, escalation or expansion of this war. In light of the above, supply chain disruptions could continue to provide our medicines to the nearly 200 million patients who depend on us every day.

During 2021, we have not experienced materialresult in delays in our production and distribution of medicinesprocesses, R&D initiatives and our ability to timely respond to consumer demand. We have implemented certain measures in response to such macroeconomic pressures and geopolitical events and are continually considering various initiatives, including price adjustments where we are not restricted contractually or disruptions inregulatorily, enhanced inventory management, alternative sourcing strategies for our raw material supply chains. The supply chain supporting ourand backup production plans for key products, – specialty, genericsto allow us to partially mitigate and API – remains largely uninterrupted, with adequate product inventory across our networkoffset the impact of these macroeconomic and redundancy plans in place to address potential shortfalls, if any. Our facilities that research, manufacture, order, pack, distributegeopolitical factors. However, although inflationary and provide critical customer and patient services remain largely uninterrupted as well, and are currently functioning to meet demand for essential medicines for patients throughoutother macroeconomic pressures may ease, the world.
During 2021,higher costs we have experienced delays in clinical trials due to slow-downs of recruitment for studiesduring the recent periods have already impacted our operations and suspended regulatory inspections, raw material supply issues, delays in regulatory approvals of new products due to reduced capacity or re-prioritization of regulatory agencies and delays in pre-commercial launch activities. We may experience further delays if the pandemic continues for an extended period of time.
The long-term effects of the pandemic cannot be predicted at this time and would depend on the duration and severity of the pandemic and the restrictive measures put in place to control its impact. During 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic has continuedwill likely continue to have an impact on markets and on customer stocking and purchasing patterns. Although no one can predict future demand for pharmaceutical products, market dynamics or the scope or duration of the financial and other challenges arising from the pandemic, it is possible that we will continue to see variable demand in future periods. While COVID-19 continues to impact sales in certain markets and for certain products, we do not currently anticipate a material impacteffect on our 2022 financial results due to the ongoing global pandemic.

As of December 31, 2021,2023, our generic products pipeline in the United States includes 200137 product applications awaiting FDA approval, including 6963 tentative approvals. This total reflects all pending ANDAs, supplements for product line extensions and tentatively approved applications and includes some instances where more than one application was submitted for the same reference product. Excluding overlaps, the branded products underlying these pending applications had U.S. sales for the twelve months ended September 30, 2021 exceeding $1102023 of approximately $107 billion, according to IQVIA. Approximately 72%78% of pending applications include a paragraph IV patent challenge and we believe we are first to file with respect to 7562 of these products, or 10288 products including

final approvals where launch is pending a settlement agreement or court decision. Collectively, these first to file opportunities represent over $81$72 billion in U.S. brand sales for the twelve months ended September 30, 2021,2023, according to IQVIA.

IQVIA reported brand sales are one of the many indicators of future potential value of a launch, but equally important are the mix and timing of competition, as well as cost effectiveness. The potential advantages of being the first filer with respect to some of these products may be subject to forfeiture, shared exclusivity or competition from so-called “authorized generics,” which may ultimately affect the value derived.

In 2021,2023, we received tentative approvals for generic equivalents of the products listed in the table below, excluding overlapping applications. A “tentative approval” indicates that the FDA has substantially completed its review of an application and final approval is expected once the relevant patent expires, a court decision is reached, a 30-month regulatory stay lapses or a 180-day exclusivity period awarded to another manufacturer either expires or is forfeited.

Our higher R&D expenses, net in 2023 compared to 2022, were mainly due to an increase related to our late-stage innovative pipeline in neuroscience (mainly neuropsychiatry), in immunology and in immuno-oncology, partially offset by a decline in various generics projects, as well as lower R&D expenses related to our biosimilar products pipeline. Additionally, in 2022 our R&D expenses were primarily relatedlower due to specialty product candidatesan adjustment in neuroscience (such as migraine, movement disorders/ neurodegeneration and neuropsychiatry, including post-approval commitments), immunology (such as respiratory medicines) and selected other areas, as well as generic products including biosimilars.

Income Taxes

In 2021, we recognized a tax expense of $211 million, or 32%, on a pre-tax income of $658 million.

In 2020,2023, we recognized a tax benefit of $168$7 million, or 4%1%, on a pre-tax loss of $4,406$624 million. Our

In 2022, we recognized a tax rate for 2020 was lower than in 2021 mainly duebenefit of $643 million, or 20%, on a pre-tax loss of $3,163 million. See note 13 to a goodwill impairment charge that did not have a corresponding tax effect.

The statutory Israeli corporate tax rate was 23% in 2021. Our effective tax rate is the result of a variety of factors, including the geographic mix and type of products sold during the year, interest expense disallowance, amortization, legal settlement charges, impairments, the impact of adjustments to uncertain tax positions, adjustments to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets and the different effective tax rates applicable to non-Israeli subsidiaries that have tax rates different than our average tax rate.

Diluted Shares Outstanding and Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The weighted average diluted shares outstanding used for the fully diluted share calculation for 20212023 and 20202022 was 1,1071,119 million and 1,0951,110 million shares, respectively.

In computing diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021, basic earnings per share were adjusted to take into account the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of options and non-vested RSUs and PSUs granted under employee stock compensation plans. No account was taken of the potential dilution by the convertible senior debentures, since they had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.

In computing diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2020,2023 and 2022, no account was taken of the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of options and non-vested RSUs restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”) granted under employee stock compensation plans, and convertible senior debentures, since they had an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share.

Diluted earningsloss per share were $0.38was $0.50 for the year ended December 31, 2021,2023, compared to diluted loss per share of $3.64$2.20 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Share Count for Market Capitalization

We calculate share amounts using the outstanding number of shares (i.e., excluding treasury shares) plus shares that would be outstanding upon the exercise of options and vesting of RSUs and performance share units (“PSUs”)PSUs and the conversion of our convertible senior debentures, in each case, at period end.

As of December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, the fully diluted share count for purposes of calculating our market capitalization was approximately 1,1281,157 million and 1,1171,143 million, respectively.

Impact of Currency Fluctuations on Results of Operations

In 2021,2023, approximately 48%47% of our revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Since our results are reported in U.S. dollars, we are subject to significant foreign currency risks. Accordingly, changes in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and local currencies in the markets in which we operate (primarily the euro, Israeli shekel,British pound, Canadian dollar, Russian ruble, Japanese yen, British pound, Russian ruble, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc, Indian rupeeIsraeli shekel and Polish zloty) impact our results.

During 2021,2023, the following main currencies relevant to our operations decreased in value against the U.S. dollar (each on an annual average compared to annual average basis): the Argentinian peso by 26%52%, the Turkish lira by 19%29%, the Brazilian realRussian ruble by 5%20%, the Ukraine hryvna by 13%, the Israeli shekel by 9% and the Japanese yen by 3% and the Russian ruble by 2%7%. The following main currencies relevant to our operations increased in value against the U.S. dollar: the Australian dollarMexican peso by 9%13%, the British poundSwiss franc by 7%6%, the Canadian dollarPolish zloty by 7%6%, the Swedish kronaHungarian forint by 7%5%, the Israeli shekelChilean peso by 6%4% and the euro by 4%3%.

As a result, exchange rate movements during 2021,2023, including hedging effects, positivelynegatively impacted overall revenues by $232$172 million and operating income by $49$111 million in comparison with 2020.

2022.

In 2021,2023, a positivenegative hedging impact of $31$2 million was recognized under revenues, and a negative impact of $1 million was recognized under cost of sales. In 2020,2022, a positive impact of $1$11 million was recognized under revenues offset byand a positivenegative impact of $1$7 million was recognized under cost of sales.

2022. This decrease was mainly a result of an increase in accounts payables resulting primarily from more favorable vendor payment terms that went into effect in 2023 and higher inventory purchases, an increase in provisions for legal settlements and loss contingencies, as well as an increase in accrued expenses, partially offset by an increase in inventory levels.

Cash investment in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in 20212023 was $562$526 million, compared to $578$548 million in 2020.2022. Depreciation was $528 million in 2021, compared to $537 million in 2020.

2023 Debt Balance and Movements

As of December 31, 2023, our debt was $19,833 million, compared to $21,212 million as of December 31, 2022.This decrease was mainly due to $1,646 million senior notes repaid at maturity, partially offset by $302 million of exchange rate fluctuations. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2023, we repurchased $2,506 million aggregate principal amount of notes upon consummation of a maturity datecash tender offer and issued $2,445 million of April 8, 2022,sustainability-linked senior notes, net of issuance costs. For further information, see note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2023, we repaid $646 million of our 1.25% senior notes at maturity.

In July 2023, we repaid $1,000 million of our 2.8% senior notes at maturity.

In July 2023, a total amount of $700 million was withdrawn under the RCF, of which an$200 million was repaid in September 2023 and the remaining amount of $1.065 billion$500 million was extended twice, initially to April 8, 2023 and then to April 8, 2024. Tranche B has a maturity date of April 8, 2024. Loans and letters of credit will be available from time to time under each tranche for Teva’s general corporate purposes.

The RCF contains certain covenants, including certain limitations on incurring liens and indebtedness and maintenance of certain financial ratios, including the requirement to maintain compliance with a net debt to EBITDA ratio, which becomes more restrictive over time. The net debt to EBITDA ratio limit was 5.00x throughrepaid in the fourth quarter of 2021, gradually declines to 4.50x in the first and second quarters of 2022, 4.00x in the third and fourth quarters of 2022, and will decline to 3.50x in the first quarter of 2023.
The RCF can be used for general corporate purposes, including repaying existing debt. As of December 31, 20212023 and as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, no amounts were outstanding under the RCF.
Under specified circumstances, including non-compliance with any of the covenants described above and the unavailability of any waiver, amendment or other modification thereto, we will not be able to borrow under the RCF. Additionally, violations of the covenants, under the above-mentioned circumstances, would result in an event of default in all borrowings under the RCF and, when greater than a specified threshold amount as set forth in each series of senior notes and sustainability-linked senior notes is outstanding, could lead to an event of default under our senior notes and sustainability-linked senior notes, due to cross acceleration provisions.
Based on current and forecasted results, we expect that we will not exceed the financial covenant thresholds set forth in the RCF within one year from the date these financial statements are issued. Due to the fact that our
68

Table of Contents
cash flow generation and EBITDA vary between quarters, there is a possibility that we will not be compliant with our financial covenants during a specific period and could temporarily be unable to draw upon the RCF. If this were to occur, we expect to continue to have sufficient cash resources to support our debt service payments and all other financial obligations within one year from the date that these financial statements are issued without drawing upon the RCF. We continually evaluate our expected compliance with the covenants described above, and intend, if needed, to proactively renegotiate and amend such covenants.

Cash Flow

We continually seek to continually improve the efficiency of our working capital management. From time to time,Periodically, as part of our cash and commercial relationship management activities, we may make decisions in our commercial and supply chain activities which may drive an acceleration of receivable payments from customers, or deceleration of payments to vendors, havingvendors. This has the effect of increasing or decreasing cash from operations during any given period. Increased cash from operations has the effect of reducing our leverage ratio, which is measured net of cash and cash equivalents, as of the end of such period. In connection with strategic continual improvement, we obtained more favorable payment terms from many of our vendors which are expected to continue in an individual period.future periods.

Such decisions had nomay have a material impact on our 2021annual operating cash flow measurement, but may impact quarter-to-quarteras well as on our quarterly results.

During 2021,2023, we generated free cash flow of $2,196$2,387 million, which we define as comprising: $798comprising $1,368 million in cash flow generated from operating activities, $1,648$1,477 million in beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized accounts receivables (under our EU securitization program) and $68 million proceeds from sale of businesses and long-lived assets, partially offset by $526 million in cash used for capital investments. During 2022, we generated free cash flow of $2,243 million, which we define as comprising $1,590 million in cash flow generated from operating activities, $1,140 million in beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized accounts receivables and $311$68 million in proceeds from divestituressale of businesses and otherlong-lived assets, partially offset by $562$548 million in cash used for capital investments. During 2020, we generated free cash flow of $2,110 million, comprised of $1,216investments and $7 million in cash flow generatedused for acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired. The increase in 2023 resulted mainly from operating activities $1,405 million inhigher beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized accounts receivables and $67 million in proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, partially offset by $578 million in cash used for capital investments. The increase in 2021 resulted mainly from higher cash generated from divestitures of businesses and other assets,under our EU securitization, partially offset by lower cash flow generated from operating activities.

Dividends

We have not paid dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs since December 2017.

Commitments

In addition to financing obligations under short-term debt and long-term senior notes and loans, debentures and convertible debentures, our major contractual obligations and commercial commitments include leases, royalty payments, contingent payments pursuant to acquisition agreements, collaboration agreements and participation in joint ventures associated with R&D activities.

In October 2021, Teva announced a license agreement For further information on our agreements with MODAG GmbH (“Modag”), that will provide Teva an exclusive global licenseBiolojic Design, Sanofi, Modag, Alvotech, Takeda and MedinCell, see note 2 to develop, manufacture and commercialize Modag’s lead compound

(anle138b) and a related compound (sery433). Anle138b was initially developed for the treatment of Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson’s disease, and has the potential to be applied to other treatments for neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. A phase 1b clinical trial is currently being completed. In the fourth quarter of 2021, after obtaining required approval, Teva made an upfront payment of $10 million that was recorded as R&D expense. Modag may be eligible for future development milestone payments, totaling an aggregate amount of up to $70 million, as well as future commercial milestones and royalties.
In August 2020, Teva entered into an agreement with biopharmaceutical company Alvotech for the exclusive commercialization in the U.S. of five biosimilar product candidates. The initial pipeline for this collaboration contains biosimilar candidates addressing multiple therapeutic areas, including a proposed biosimilar to Humira
®
. Under this agreement, Alvotech is responsible for the development, registration and supply of the biosimilar product candidates and Teva will exclusively commercialize the products in the United States. Teva made an upfront payment in the third quarter of 2020 and additional upfront and milestone payments in the second quarter of 2021 that were recorded as R&D expenses. Additional development and commercial milestone payments of up to $455 million, as well as royalty payments, may be payable by Teva over the next few years. Teva and Alvotech will share profit from the commercialization of these biosimilars. In March 2021, Abbvie sued Alvotech for allegedly misappropriating confidential information relating to Humira
®
. In October 2021, the claim was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Abbvie has appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals. In addition, there is pending patent litigation between Abbvie and Alvotech related to Alvotech’s proposed biosimilar to Humira
®
. In December 2021, Abbvie also filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) against both Alvotech and Teva seeking to prevent Teva and Alvotech from importing Alvotech’s proposed biosimilar to Humira
®
into the United States. On January 26, 2022, the ITC issued a decision to initiate an investigation into Alvotech’s proposed biosimilar product.
In October 2016, Teva and Celltrion, Inc. (“Celltrion”) entered into a collaborative agreement to commercialize Truxima
®
and Herzuma
®
, two biosimilar products for the U.S. and Canadian markets. Teva paid Celltrion $160 million, of which Teva received an aggregate credit of $60 million as of March 31, 2021. Teva and Celltrion share the profit from the commercialization of these products. These two products, Truxima and Herzuma, were approved by the FDA in November and December 2018, respectively, and were launched in the United States in November 2019 and March 2020, respectively. No additional milestone payments are expected.
In September 2016, Teva and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Regeneron”) entered into a collaborative agreement to develop and commercialize Regeneron’s pain medication product, fasinumab. Teva and Regeneron share in the global commercial rights to this product (excluding Japan, Korea and nine other Asian countries), as well as ongoing associated R&D costs of approximately $1 billion. Teva made an upfront payment of $250 million to Regeneron in the third quarter of 2016 and additional payments for achievement of development milestones in an aggregate amount of $120 million were paid during 2017 and 2018. The agreement stipulates additional development and commercial milestone payments of up to $2,230 million, as well as future royalties. Currently, all non-essential activities and related expenditures for fasinumab have been put on hold. Next steps will be assessed together with Regeneron, with the intention of discussing data with the FDA.
In November 2013, Teva entered into an agreement with MedinCell for the development and commercialization of multiple long-acting injectable products. The lead product candidate selected was risperidone LAI (TV-46000) suspension for subcutaneous use for the treatment of schizophrenia. In August 2021, the FDA accepted the NDA for risperidone LAI, based on phase 3 data from two pivotal studies. Teva leads the clinical development and regulatory process and is responsible for commercialization of this product candidate. MedinCell may be eligible for development milestones, and future commercial milestones of up to $112 million in respect of risperidone LAI. Teva will also pay MedinCell royalties based on net sales.

products, as defined in the agreements. In some cases, the royalty period is not defined; in other cases, royalties will be paid over various periods not exceeding 20 years.

In connection with certain development, supply and marketing, and research and collaboration or services agreements, we are required to indemnify, in unspecified amounts, the parties to such agreements against third-party claims relating to (i) infringement or violation of intellectual property or other rights of such third party; or (ii) damages to users of the related products. Except as described in our financial statements, we are not aware of any material pending action that may result in the counterparties to these agreements claiming such indemnification.

Long-term debt obligations mainly include senior notes, sustainability-linked senior notes and convertible senior debentures, as disclosed in note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.

The total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $672$651 million at December 31, 2021.2023. Payment of these obligations would result from settlements with tax authorities. Due to the difficulty in determining the timing and magnitude of settlements, these obligations are not included in the table above. Correspondingly, it is difficult to ascertain whether we will pay any significant amount related to these obligations within the next year.

We have committed to make potential future milestone payments to third parties under various agreements. These payments are contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events and, given the nature of these events, it is unclear when, if ever, we may be required to pay such amounts. As of December 31, 2021,2023, if all development milestones and targets, for compounds in phase 2 and in more advanced stages of development, are achieved, the total contingent payments could reach an aggregate amount of up to $121$20 million. Additional contingent payments are owed upon achievement of product approval or launch milestones.

We have committed to pay royalties to owners of know-how, partners in alliances and pursuant to certain other certain arrangements and to parties that financed research and development, at a wide range of rates as a percentage of sales or of the gross margin of certain products, as defined in the underlying agreements.

Due to the uncertainty of the timing of these payments, these amounts, and the amounts described in the previous paragraph, are not included in the table above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Except for securitization transactions, which are disclosed in note 10 f10f to our consolidated financial statements, we do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS Data

We present non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”) as management believes that such data provide useful information to investors because they are used by management and our Board of Contents

Supplemental Non-GAAP Income Data
We utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate performance,Directors, in conjunction with other performance metrics. The following are examples of how we utilize the non-GAAP measures:
our management and Board of Directors use non-GAAP measuresmetrics, to evaluate our operational performance, to compare againstprepare and evaluate our work plans and annual budgets and ultimately to evaluate the performance of management;
ourmanagement, including annual budgets are prepared on a non-GAAP basis; and

While other qualitative factors and judgment also affect annual bonuses,compensation, the principal quantitative element in the determination of such bonuses iscompensation are performance targets tied to the work plan, which isare based on the these non-GAAP presentation set forth below.
measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning and accordingly have limitations in their usefulness to investors. We provide such non-GAAP data because management believes that such data provide useful information to investors. However, investorsInvestors are cautioned that, unlike financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S.

76


GAAP, non-GAAP measures may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance. The limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures are that they provide a view of our results of operations without including all events during a period and may not provide a comparable view of our performance to other companies in the pharmaceutical industry.

Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures net income and non-GAAP EPS in addition to, and not as replacements for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

In arriving atpreparing our non-GAAP presentation, net income and non-GAAP EPS data, we exclude items that either have a non-recurring impact on the income statementour financial performance or which, in the judgment of our management, are items that, either as a result of their nature or size, could, were they not singled out,excluded, potentially cause investors to extrapolate future performance from an improper base. In addition, we also exclude equity compensation expenses to facilitate a better understandingbase that is not reflective of our financial results, since we believe that such exclusion is important for understanding the trends in our financial results and that these expenses do not affect ourunderlying business operations. While not all inclusive, examplesperformance. Certain of these items are also excluded because of the difficulty in predicting their timing and scope. The items excluded from our non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS include:

amortization of purchased intangible assets;

legal settlements and material litigation fees and/or loss contingencies, due to the difficulty in predicting their timing and scope;

impairments of long-lived assets, including intangibles, property, plant and equipment and goodwill;

Critical Accounting Policies

For a description of our significant accounting policies, see note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. Actual results may differ from these estimates. We base our judgments on our experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Of our policies, the following are considered critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements as they require the application of the most subjective and complex judgment, involving critical accounting estimates and assumptions impacting our consolidated financial statements. We have applied our policies and critical accounting estimates consistently across our businesses.

77

Table of Contents

The critical accounting estimates relate to the following:

Revenue Recognition and SR&A in the United States

Income Taxes

Contingencies

Goodwill

Goodwill

Identifiable Intangible Assets

Revenue Recognition and SR&A in the United States

Our gross product revenues are subject to a variety of deductions which are generally estimated and recorded in the same period that the revenues are recognized, and primarily represent chargebacks, rebates and

79


sales allowances to wholesalers, retailers and government agencies with respect to our pharmaceutical products. Those deductions represent estimates of rebates and discounts related to gross sales for the reporting period and, as such, knowledge and judgment of market conditions and practice are required when estimating the impact of these revenue deductions on gross sales for a reporting period.

Historically, our changes of estimates reflecting actual results or updated expectations, have not been material to our overall business. Product-specific rebates, however, may have a significant impact on year-over-year individual product growth trends. If any of our ratios, factors, assessments, experiences or judgments are not indicative or accurate predictors of our future experience, our results could be materially affected. The sensitivity of our estimates can vary by program, type of customer and geographic location. However, estimates associated with governmental allowances, U.S. Medicaid and other performance-based contract rebates are most at risk for material adjustment because of the extensive time delay between the recording of the accrual and its ultimate settlement, an interval that can generally range up to one year. Because of this time lag, in any given quarter, our adjustments to actual can incorporate revisions of several prior quarters. See also “Revenue recognition” in note 1 to ourthe consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

The provision for income tax is calculated based on our assumptions as to our entitlement to various benefits under the applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. The entitlement to such benefits depends upon our compliance with the terms and conditions set out in these laws.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires that it be more likely than not that the tax benefits recognized in the financial statements be sustained based on technical merits. The amount of benefits recorded for these positions is measured as the largest benefit more likely than not to be sustained. Significant judgment is required in making these determinations.

Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the determination of the appropriate valuation allowances, we have considered the most recent projections of future business results and prudent tax planning alternatives that may allow us to realize the deferred tax assets. Taxes which would apply in the event of disposal of investments in subsidiaries have not been taken into account in computing deferred taxes, as it is our intention to hold these investments rather than realize them.

Taxes have not been provided for tax-exempt income, as the Company intends to permanently reinvest these earnings and does not currently foresee a need to distribute dividends out of these earnings. In addition, the

78

Company announced a suspension of dividend distribution on ordinary shares and ADSs in 2017. Furthermore, deferred taxes have not been provided for the retained earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries because the Company does not expect these subsidiaries to distribute taxable dividends in the foreseeable future, as their earnings and excess cash are used to pay down the group’s external liabilities, and the Company expects to have sufficient resources in the Israeli companies to fund its cash needs in Israel. An assessment of the tax that would have been payable had the Company’s foreign subsidiaries distributed their income to the Company is not practicable because of the multiple levels of corporate ownership and multiple tax jurisdictions involved in each hypothetical dividend distribution.

For a discussion of the valuation allowance, deferred tax and valuation allowance estimates see notes 1 and 13 to our consolidated financial statements.

Contingencies

From time to time, Teva and/or its subsidiaries are subject to claims for damages and/or equitable relief arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, in large part as a result of the nature of its business, Teva

80


is frequently subject to litigation, governmental investigations and other legal proceedings. Except for income tax contingencies or contingent consideration acquired in a business combination, Teva records a provision in its consolidated financial statements to the extent that it concludes that a contingent liability is probable and the amount thereof is reasonably estimable. When accruing these costs, Teva will recognize an accrual in the amount within a range of loss that is the best estimate within the range. When no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, Teva accrues for the minimum amount within the range. Teva records anticipated recoveries under existing insurance contracts at the gross amount that is expected to be collected when they are considered probable to occur.

Teva reviews the adequacy of the accruals on a periodic basis and, may determine to alteralthough it believes that its provisions at any timepresent reserves are adequate, changes in facts and circumstances in the future if it believes it would be appropriatemay lead to do so.adjustments to reserve estimates and could have a material impact on Teva’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition in the period that reserve estimates are adjusted or paid. As such accruals are based on management’s judgment as to the probability of losses and, where applicable, actuarially determined estimates, accruals may materially differ from actual verdicts, settlements or other agreements made with regards to such contingencies. Litigation outcomes and contingencies are unpredictable and excessive verdicts can occur. Accordingly, management’s assessments involve complex judgments concerning future events and often rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

Goodwill

Goodwill reflects the excess of the consideration transferred, including the fair value of any contingent consideration and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, over the assigned fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, and is assigned to reporting units and tested for impairment at least annually, in the second quarter of the fiscal year.

We perform an impairment test annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asseta reporting unit may not be recoverable. The provisions of the accounting standard for goodwill allow us to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the next goodwill impairment quantitative test.

Examples of events or circumstances that may be indicative of impairment include, but are not limited to: macroeconomic and industry conditions, overall financial performance and adverse changes in legal, regulatory, market share and other relevant entity specific events.

The Company estimates the fair values of all reporting units using a discounted cash flow model which utilizes Level 3 unobservable inputs. Key estimates include the revenue growth rates taking into consideration industry and market conditions, terminal growth rate and the discount rate. The discount rate used is based on the WACC, adjusted for the relevant risk associated with country-specific and business-specific characteristics.

79

The carrying value of each reporting unit is determined by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill, to those reporting units.

When necessary, we record charges for impairments of goodwill for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of these assets.

See note 7 and note 19 to our consolidated financial statements for further details on the goodwill impairmentimpairments recognized in 2020,2023 and 2022, and Teva’s operating and reporting segments.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

Identifiable intangible assets are comprised of definite life intangible assets and indefinite life intangible assets.

81


Definite life intangible assets consist mainly of acquired product rights and other rights relating to products for which marketing approval was received from the FDA or the equivalent agencies in other countries. These assets are amortized using mainly the straight-line method over their estimated period of useful life, or based on economic benefit models, if more appropriate, which is determined by identifying the period and manner in which substantially all of the cash flows are expected to be generated. Amortization of acquired developed products is recorded under cost of sales. Amortization of marketing and distribution rights is recorded under selling and marketing expenses when separable.

Indefinite life intangible assets are mainly comprised of IPR&D assets. Teva monitors these assets for items such as research and development milestones and progress to identify any triggering events.

The fair value of acquired identifiable intangible assets is determined using an income approach. This method starts with a forecast of all expected future net cash flows associated with the asset and then adjusts the forecast to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams.

Whenever impairment indicators are identified for definite life intangible assets, Teva reconsiders the asset’s estimated life, calculates the undiscounted value of the asset’s or asset group’s cash flows and then calculates, if required, the discounted value of cash flow by applying an appropriate discount rate to the undiscounted cash flow streams. Teva then compares such value against the asset’s or asset group’s carrying amount. If the carrying amount is greater, Teva records an impairment loss for the excess of carrying value over fair value based on the discounted cash flows.

For indefinite life intangible assets Teva performs an impairment test annually in the second quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Teva determines the fair value of the asset annually or when triggering events are present, based on discounted cash flows and records an impairment loss if book value exceeds fair value.

Examples of events or circumstances that may be indicative of impairment include:

A projection or forecast that indicates losses or reduced profits associated with an asset. This could result, for example, from a change in the competitive landscape modifying our assumptions about market share or pricing prospectively, a government reimbursement program that results in an inability to sustain projected product revenues and profitability, or lack of acceptance of a product by patients, physicians or payers limiting our projected growth.

A significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset. For example, a successful challenge of our patent rights by a competitor would likely result in generic competition earlier than expected. And conversely, a lost challenge of patent rights in connection with our generic file would likely result in delayed entry.

80

A significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used. For example, restrictions imposed by the FDA or other regulatory authorities could affect our ability to manufacture or sell a product.

For IPR&D projects, this could result from, among other things, a change in outlook affecting assumptions around competition or timing of entry such as approval success or the related timing of approval, clinical trial data results, other delays in the projected launch dates or additional expenditures required to commercialize the product.

The more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the estimate of the fair value of identifiable intangible assets include (i) assumptions associated with forecasting product profitability, including sales and cost to sell projections, (ii) tax rates which seek to incorporate the geographic diversity of the projected cash flows, (iii) expected impact of competitive, legal and/or regulatory forces on the projections and the impact of

82


technological risk, R&D expenditure for ongoing support of product rights or continued development of IPR&D, and (iv) estimated useful lives and IPR&D expected launch dates. Additionally, for IPR&D assets the risk of failure has been factored into the fair value measure.

While all intangible assets other than goodwill can face events and circumstances that can lead to impairment, in general, intangible assets other than goodwill that are most at risk of impairment include IPR&D assets and newly acquired or recently impaired indefinite-lived brand assets. IPR&D assets are high-risk assets, as R&D is an inherently risky activity. Consequently, IPR&D assets could be determined to be no longer commercially viable. Newly acquired and recently impaired indefinite-lived assets are more vulnerable to impairment as the assets are recorded at fair value and are then subsequently measured at the lower of fair value or carrying value annually or when triggering events are present. As such, immediately after acquisition or impairment, even small declines in the outlook for these assets can negatively impact our ability to recover the carrying value and can result in an impairment charge.

ITEM
7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

General

The objective of our financial risk management measures is to minimize the impact of risks arising from foreign exchange and interest rate fluctuations. To reduce these risks, we take various operational measures in order to achieve a natural hedge and may enter, from time to time, into financial derivative instruments. Our derivative transactions are executed through global banks. We believe that due to our diversified derivatives portfolio, the credit risk associated with any of these banks is minimal. No derivative instruments are entered into for trading purposes.

Exchange Rate Risk Management

We operate our business worldwide and, as such, we are subject to foreign exchange risks on our results of operations, our monetary assets and liabilities and our foreign subsidiaries’ net assets. For further information on currencies in which we operate, see “Item 7— Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations —Impact of Currency Fluctuations on Results of Operations.”

We generally prefer to borrow in U.S. dollars;dollars or euros; however, from time to time we borrow funds in other currencies, such as the euro, Swiss franc, and new Israeli shekel, in order to benefit from same currency revenues in relation to same currency costs and same currency assets in relation to same currency liabilities.

Cash Flow Exposure

Total

Our total revenues were $15,878$15,846 million in 2021.2023. Of these revenues, approximately 48%47% were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, of which 21% in euros 4% in British pound and the rest in other currencies, none of which accounted for more than 4%3% of total revenues in 2021.2023. In most currencies, we record corresponding expenses.

In certain currencies, primarily the euro, our revenues generally exceed our expenses. Conversely, in other currencies, primarily the new Israeli shekel and the Indian rupee, our expenses generally exceed our revenues.

We enter into financial derivatives to hedge part of those currencies which do not have a sufficient natural hedge, in order to reduce the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on our operating results.

As of December 31, 2021,2023, we hedged part of our expected operating results for 20222024 in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc, Swedish krona, Polish zloty, Japanese yen, Russian rubleChilean peso, Indian rupee and Latin American currencies.

Israeli shekel.

In certain cases, we may hedge exposure arising from a specific transaction, executed in a currency other than the functional currency, by entering into forward contracts and/or by using plain-vanilla and exotic option strategies. We generally limit the term of hedging transactions to a maximum of eighteen months.

Balance Sheet Exposure

With respect to our monetary assets and liabilities, the exposure arises when the monetary assets and/or liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our subsidiaries. We strive to limit our exposure through natural hedging. The remaining exposure is hedged almost in full by entering into financial derivative instruments. To the extent possible, the hedging activity is carried out on a consolidated level.

Foreign Subsidiaries Net Assets

Under certain market conditions, we may hedge against possible fluctuations in foreign subsidiaries’ net assets (“net investment hedge”). In these cases, we may use cross currency swaps and forward contracts.

Interest Rate Risk Management

We are subject to interest rate risk on our investments and on our borrowings. We manage interest rate risk in the aggregate, while focusing on our immediate and intermediate liquidity needs.

We raise capital through various debt instruments including senior notes, and sustainability-linked senior notes, that bear a fixed or variable interest rate, syndicated revolving credit facility that bears a fixed or variable interest rate and convertible debentures that bear fixed or variable interest rates, as well as a fixedsyndicated sustainability-linked revolving credit facility and securitization programs that bear a variable interest rate. In some cases, as described below, we have swapped from a fixed to a variable interest rate (“fair value hedge”), from a variable to a fixed interest rate and from a fixed to a fixed interest rate with an exchange from a currency other than the functional currency (“cash flow hedge”), reducing overall interest expenses or hedging risks associated with interest rate fluctuations.

As of December 31, 2023, all outstanding senior notes, sustainability-linked senior notes and convertible debentures bear a fixed interest rate.

In certain cases, we may hedge, in whole or in part, against exposure arising from a specific transaction, such as debt issuances related to an acquisition or debt refinancing, by entering into forward and interest rate swap contracts and/or by using options.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Shareholders of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited and its subsidiaries (the
(the “Company”) as of December 31, 20212023 and 2020, 2022,
and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), of comprehensive income (loss), of changes in equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021,2023, including the related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 20212023 appearing under Item 15(a)8 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021,2023, based on criteria established in
Internal Control—Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20212023 and 2020, 2022
,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021 2023
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained,did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021,2023, based on criteria established in
Internal Control—Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the COSO.COSO because a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date as the Company did not design and maintain effective control over the contingent consideration liability and related expenses in connection with estimated future royalty payments.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness referred to above is described in the Report of Teva Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. We considered this material weakness in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2023 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the Report of Teva Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A.management’s report referred to above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
88

that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purpose
86

spurposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Goodwill Impairment Assessment—North America, Europe, International Markets and EuropeTeva API reporting units
As described in Notes 1 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill balance and goodwill balance for the North America, Europe, International Markets and EuropeTeva API reporting units were $20,040$ 6,459 million, $6,474$8,466 million, $675 million and $8,544$1,313 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021.2023. As disclosed by management, goodwill is assigned to reporting units and tested for impairment at least annually, in the second quarter of the fiscal year, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. During the second quarter of 2021, Teva2023, management conducted a quantitative analysis of the North America and Europeall reporting units as part of its annual goodwill impairment test and utilizedwith the assistance of an independent valuation expert. No goodwill impairment charge was recorded duringIn the second quarter of 2021. 2023, management recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $700 million related to its International Markets reporting unit, mainly due to an increase in the discount rate due to higher risk associated with country-specific characteristics of several countries. Management noted the following main triggering events during the fourth quarter for its International Markets reporting unit and its Teva API reporting unit: (i) fluctuations in exchange rates between certain currencies in which Teva operates in its International Markets reporting unit, and the U.S. dollar, are expected to significantly lower projected
89

operating results; and (ii) updated assumptions supporting the cash flow projections of Teva’s API reporting unit, including certain revenue growth assumptions, and the associated operating profit margins, mainly resulting from changes in market conditions.
As a result, management performed a quantitative assessment in the fourth quarter of 2023, which resulted in no recognition of a goodwill impairment.
Management determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach. Within the income approach, the method used is the discounted cash flow method. For the impairment assessments, management startedManagement begins with a forecast of all the expected net cash flows associated with the reporting unit, which includes the application of a terminal value, and then appliedapplies a discount rate to arrive at a net present value amount. KeyAs disclosed by management, key estimates include the revenue growth rates (including revenue for AUSTEDO) taking into consideration industry and market conditions, terminal growth rate and the discount rate. Market conditions for the North America reporting unit include estimates related to the resolution of the opioids and price fixing litigation.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessment for the North America, Europe, International Markets and EuropeTeva API reporting units is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when determining the fair value of the reporting units; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the revenue growth rates, discount rate and terminal growth rate and estimates related to the resolution of the opioid, pricing and market allocation litigation for the North America reporting unit;rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use ofusing professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessment, including controls over the
87

valuation of the North America, Europe, International Markets and EuropeTeva API reporting units. These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing management’s process for determining the fair value estimate; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model; (iii) testing the completeness, accuracy and relevance of underlying data used in the model; and (iv) evaluating the significant assumptions used by management related to the revenue growth rates, discount rate and terminal growth rate and estimates related to the resolution of the opioid, pricing and market allocation litigation for the North America reporting unit.rate. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to the revenue growth rates and terminal growth rate involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the reporting unit, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data, and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Evaluating management’s assumption related to estimates related to the resolution of the opioid, pricing and market allocation litigation for the North America reporting unit involved obtaining and evaluating letters of audit inquiry with internal and external legal counsel and discussing the status of significant known actual and potential litigation with the Company’s internal and external legal counsel. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of management’s discounted cash flow model and the discount rate assumption.
Sales Reserves and Allowances (“SR&A”)—Rebates, Chargebacks and Medicaid in the United States
As described in Notes 1 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, revenues are recorded in the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for performance obligations upon transfer of control to the customer. The amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled varies as a result of rebates, chargebacks and other SR&A that the Company offers to its customers and their customers, as well as the occurrence or nonoccurrence of future events, including milestone events. A minimum amount of variable consideration is recorded by the Company concurrently with the satisfaction of performance obligations to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. As of December 31, 2021,2023, consolidated SR&A for rebates, chargebacks and Medicaid were $3,594$3,002 million. Provisions for chargebacks involve estimates of usage by retailers and other indirect buyers with varying contract prices for multiple wholesalers. The provision for chargebacks varies in relation to changes in product mix, pricing and the level of inventory at the wholesalers. Provisions for estimating chargebacks are calculated using historical chargeback experience and/or expected chargeback levels for new products and anticipated pricing changes. Provisions for rebates are estimated based on the specific terms in each agreement based on historical trends and expected sales. Provisions for Medicaid are based on historical trends of rebates paid, as well as on changes in wholesaler inventory levels and increases or decreases in sales.
90

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to SR&A for rebates, chargebacks and Medicaid in the United States is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management due to the significant measurement uncertainty involved in developing the reserves, as the reserves are based on assumptions developed using contractual and mandated terms with customers, historical experience, and projected market conditions in the US;U.S.; and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to wholesaler inventory levels and expected chargeback levels.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to SR&A for rebates, chargebacks and Medicaid in the United States, including controls over the assumptions used by management to estimate the reserves. These procedures also included, among others, (i) developing independent estimates of the reserves using third party information, the contractual or mandated terms of the specific rebate or chargeback programs, and the historical trends of payments and comparing the independent estimates to management’s estimates; (ii) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management related to wholesaler inventory levels and expected chargeback levels; and (iii) testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used to estimate the reserves, including testing actual claims processed by the Company.
88

Opioid, Pricing and Market Allocation Litigation in the United States
As described in Notes 1, 11 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements, management evaluates litigation contingencies and records a provision in its financial statements to the extent that it concludes that a contingent liability is probable and the amount thereof is estimable. Such contingencies include those related to opioid, pricing and market allocation litigation in the United States. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s consolidated provision for legal settlements and loss contingencies was $2,710 million, which included an estimated settlement provision recorded in connection with the remaining opioid cases.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to opioid, pricing and market allocation litigation in the United States is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management when assessing the likelihood of a loss being incurred and when determining whether a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss for each claim can be made, which in turn led to high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s assessment of the loss contingencies associated with these legal matters. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s evaluation of the loss contingencies relating to opioid, pricing and market allocation litigation in the United States, including controls over determining whether a loss is probable and whether the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, as well as financial statement disclosures. These procedures also included, among others, (i) gaining an understanding of the Company’s process around the accounting and reporting for these legal matters; (ii) obtaining and evaluating the letters of audit inquiry with internal and external legal counsel; (iii) discussing the status of significant known actual and potential litigation with the Company’s internal legal counsel; (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assessment regarding whether a loss is probable and whether the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated; and (v) evaluating the sufficiency of the Company’s litigation contingency disclosures. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of the factual investigation performed by management and their advisors with respect to pricing and market allocation allegations.

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1—1 — Significant accounting policies:
a. General:
Operations
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (the “Parent Company”), headquartered in Israel, together with its subsidiaries and associated companies (the “Company,” “Teva” or the “Group”), is engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of generics, specialtyinnovative medicines and biopharmaceuticals. The majority of the Group’s revenues are in the United States and Europe.
Basis of presentation and use of estimates
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
In preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, and liabilities, equity and disclosure of contingent liabilities and assets at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported years. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management also considered the economic implications of inflation expectations on its critical and significant accounting estimates. Government actions taken to address macroeconomic developments, as well as their economic impact on Teva’s third-party manufacturers and suppliers, customers and markets, could also impact such estimates and may change in future periods. As applicable to these consolidated financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate toto: determining the valuation and recoverability of intangibleIPR&D assets, marketed product rights, contingent consideration and goodwill, assessing sales reserves and allowances in the United States, uncertain tax positions, valuation allowances and contingencies. The inputs into Teva’s judgmentsThese estimates could be impacted by higher costs and estimates also consider the economic implicationsability to pass on such higher costs to customers, which is highly uncertain.
In February 2022, Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine. As of the COVID-19 pandemicdate of these consolidated financial statements, sustained conflict and disruption in the region is ongoing. Russia and Ukraine markets are included in Teva’s International Markets segment results. Teva has no manufacturing or R&D facilities in these markets. As part of the Company’s annual goodwill analysis performed in the second quarter of 2023, it identified an increase in the discount rate, which led to a goodwill impairment charge in its International Markets reporting unit. This increase was due to an increase in certain components of the discount rate that were partially attributed to higher risk associated with country-specific characteristics of several countries, such as Russia, that might be a consequence of the conflict. Other than its impact on its critical accounting estimates, most significantlythe goodwill impairment charge described above, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on Teva’s results of operations and financial condition was immaterial. See also note 7.
In October 2023, Israel was attacked by a terrorist organization and entered a state of war. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the war in relationIsrael is ongoing and continues to sales, reservesevolve. Israel is included in Teva’s International Markets segment results. Teva’s global headquarters and allowances, IPRseveral manufacturing and R&D assets, marketed product rightsfacilities are located in Israel. Currently, such activities in Israel remain largely unaffected. Teva continues to maintain contingency plans with backup production locations for key products. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the impact of this war on Teva’s results of operations and goodwill, all offinancial condition was immaterial, but such impact may increase, which will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, includingcould be material, as a result of new information that may emerge concerning the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken to containcontinuation, escalation or treat it, as well as the economic impact on Teva’s employees, third-party manufacturers and suppliers, customers and markets. All estimates made by Teva related to the impactexpansion of the COVID-19 pandemic within its financial statements may change in future periods.such war.

exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at monthly average exchange rates during the year. Differences resulting from translation are presented as other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
In the event of a divestiture of a foreign subsidiary, the related foreign currency translation results net of related income taxes are reversed from equity to income. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses are included in net income (loss).

Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries, joint ventures and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. For those consolidated entities where Teva owns less than 100%, the outside shareholders’ interests are shown as
non-controlling
interests
in equity. Investments in affiliates over which the Company has significant influence but not a controlling interest, are carried on the equity basis.
For VIEs, the Company performs an analysis to determine whether the variable interests give a controlling financial interest in a VIE. The Company periodically reassesses whether it controls its VIEs.
Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation; profits from intercompany sales, not yet realized outside the Group, are also eliminated.

New accounting pronouncements
Revision of Previously Reported Consolidated Financial Statements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In March 2020,connection with the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitationpreparation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The guidance applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. There was no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the periodyear ended December 31, 20212023, the Company identified errors in a single contingent consideration liability and related expenses in connection with estimated future royalty payments, along with corresponding deferred tax adjustments, that aggregated into an understatement of the contingent consideration liability of approximately
$132 
million, of which
$98 
million related to 2022 and
$
34
million related to 2023. These errors resulted from the exclusion of royalty payments that should have been included in the fair value
re-measurement
calculation of the contingent consideration liability as a result of adopting this standard update. and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the quarterly and
year-to-date
periods ended June 30, September 30 and December 31, 2022, and March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2023. These errors did not impact the Company’s actual royalty payments, as well as total cash flows from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities in the periods stated above.
The Company has completed negotiations to transformevaluated the facility base rate of its securitization programerrors, individually and is continuing to evaluate the potential impact of the replacement of the LIBOR benchmark on its interest rate risk management activities. However, it is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 “Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (the “update”). The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing the following exceptions in ASC 740: (1) exception to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items; (2) exception to accounting for basis differences for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment; (3) exception to accounting for basis differences for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary; and (4) exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year.
In addition, the update also simplifies the accounting for income taxes in certain topics as follows: (1) requiring that an entity recognize a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax; (2) requiring that an entity evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognizedaggregate, considering both qualitative and when it should be considered a separate transaction; (3) specifyingquantitative factors, and concluded that an entity can elect (rather than be required to) allocate the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements; and (4) requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. Teva adopted the provisions of this update as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidancethese errors did not have a material impact on any of the prior periods stated above. However, the aggregate amount of the prior period errors in 2022, would have been material to the consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2023. Therefore, the Company has revised the prior periods impacted for these errors. The impact of the revision on the Company’s consolidatedunaudited quarterly financial results of operations, financial position or cash flows.data for 2023 and 2022 is presented in note 22.

c.d.
Acquisitions:
Teva’s consolidated financial statements include the operations of acquired businesses from the date of the acquisition’s consummation. Acquired businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date and that the fair value of acquired IPR&D be recorded on the balance sheet. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the consideration transferred over the assigned values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. When Teva acquires net assets that do not constitute a business, as defined under U.S. GAAP, no goodwill is recognized and acquired IPR&D is expensed unless it has an alternative future use.
Contingent consideration incurred in a business combination is included as part of the acquisition price and recorded at a probability weighted assessment of its fair value as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the contingent consideration is
re-measured
at each reporting period, with any adjustments in fair value recognized in earnings under other assetsasset impairments, restructuring and other items.

e.
Collaborative arrangements:
Collaborative arrangements are contractual arrangements in which the parties are active participants to the arrangement and are exposed to the significant risks and rewards that are dependent on the ultimate commercial success of the endeavor.

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
 
The Company recognizes revenue generated and costs incurred on sales to third parties as it relates to collaborative agreements as gross or net. If the Company is the principal participant in a transaction, revenues and costs are recorded on a gross basis; otherwise, revenues and costs are recorded on a net basis.
Cost reimbursements to the collaborative partner or payments received from the collaborative partner to share these costs pursuant to the terms of the collaborative arrangements are recorded as research and development expenses.
e.f.
Equity investments:
The Company measures equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The Company accounts for equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value as cost method investments under the measurement alternative prescribed within ASU 2016-01 “Financial Instruments—Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” to the extent such investments are not subject to consolidation or the equity method. Under the measurement alternative, these financial instruments are carried at cost, less any impairment (assessed quarterly)quarterly for triggering events), adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. In addition, income is recognized when dividends are received only to the extent they are distributed from net accumulated earnings of the investee. Otherwise, such distributions are considered returns of investment and are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the investment. The Company accounts for equity investments as current when the Company has the intent and ability to sell such assets within the next twelve months.
 
f.g.
Fair value measurement:
The Company measures fair value and discloses fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable inputs that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
 
g.
h.
Investment in debt securities:
Investment in securities consists of debt securities classified as
available-for-sale
and recorded at fair value. The fair value of quoted securities is based on their current market value. When debt securities do not have an active market, fair value is determined using a valuation model. This model is based on reference to other instruments with similar characteristics, or a discounted cash flow analysis or other pricing models making use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.

The Company’s investment in debt securities accounting policy until December 31, 2019, prior to the adoption of the new Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) standard
Unrealized gains of available for sale debt securities, net of taxes, are reflected in other comprehensive income. Unrealized losses considered to be temporary are reflected in other comprehensive income; unrealized losses that are considered to be other-than-temporary are charged to income as an impairment charge. Realized gains and losses for debt securities are included in financial expenses, net.
The Company considers available evidence in evaluating potential impairments of its investments, including the duration and extent to which fair value is less than cost. For debt securities, an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred if the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the debt security. If the Company does not intend to sell the impaired debt security, and it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell the debt security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings, recorded in financial expense, net, is limited to the portion attributed to credit loss. The remaining portion of the other-than-temporary impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.
The Company’s investment in debt securities accounting policy from January 1, 2020, following the adoption of the new CECL standard
Unrealized gains and losses for
available-for-sale
securities are excluded from earnings and reported net of the related tax effect in the accumulated other comprehensive income component of shareholders’ equity.
The CECLCurrent Expected Credit Loss (CECL) methodology which became effective January 1, 2020, requires the Company to estimate lifetime expected credit losses for all
available-for-sale
debt securities in an unrealized loss position. Comparative information continues to be reported in accordance with the methodology in effect for prior periods. When estimating a security’s probability of default and the recovery rate, the Company assesses the security’s credit indicators, including credit ratings. If the assessment indicates that an expected credit loss exists, the Company determines the portion of the unrealized loss attributable to credit deterioration and records an allowance for the expected credit loss through the Consolidated Statements of Income. Unrealized gains and any portion of a security’s unrealized loss attributable to
non-credit
losses are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, net of tax.

Cash and cash equivalents:
All highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits and money market instruments, that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, and investment in short-term debentures, the period to maturity of which did not exceed three months at the time of investment, are considered to be cash equivalents.

The Company’s accounts receivables accounting policy from January 1, 2020, following the adoption of the new CECL standard
Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains the allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. The allowance represents the current estimate of lifetime expected credit losses over the remaining duration of existing accounts receivable considering current market conditions and supportable forecasts when appropriate. The estimate is a result of the Company’s ongoing evaluation of collectability, customer creditworthiness, historical levels of credit losses, and future expectations.

Concentration of credit risks:
Most of Teva’s cash and cash equivalents, (which, along with investment in securities, totaled $2,191 million at December 31, 2021)2023 were deposited with European, U.S. and Israeli banks and financial institutions and were comprised mainly of cash deposits.
The pharmaceutical industry, particularly in the United States, has been significantly affected by consolidation among managed care providers, large pharmacy chains, wholesaling organizations and other buyer groups. The U.S. market constituted approximately 46%51% of Teva’s consolidated revenues in 2021.2023. The exposure of credit risks relating to other trade receivables outside the U.S. is limited, due to the relatively large number of group customers and their wide geographic distribution. Teva performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers for the purpose of determining the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts and generally does not require collateral and from time to time the Company may choose to purchase trade credit insurance.

Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of raw and packaging materials, purchased products, manufactured finished products, products in process and capitalized production costs are determined predominantly on a standard cost basis, approximating actual costs. Other methods which are utilized

for determining the value of inventories are moving average, cost basis and the first in first out method. Teva regularly reviews its inventories for obsolescence and other impairment risks and reserves are established when necessary.
Inventories acquired in a business combination are
stepped-up
to their estimated fair value and amortized to cost of sales as that inventory is sold.
m.n.
Long-lived assets:
Teva’s long-lived,
non-current
assets are comprised mainly of goodwill, identifiable intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and operating lease
right-of-use
(“ROU”) assets. All long-lived assets are monitored for impairment indicators throughout the year. Impairment testing for goodwill and all indefinite-lived intangible assets is performed at least annually. When necessary, charges for impairments of long-lived assets, other than goodwill, are recorded for the amount by which the fair value is less than the carrying value of these assets.

Table of Contents
TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
Goodwill
Goodwill reflects the excess of the consideration transferred, including the fair value of any contingent consideration and any
non-controlling
interest in the acquiree, over the assigned fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, and is assigned to reporting units and tested for impairment at least on an annual basis, in the second quarter of the fiscal year.
The goodwill impairment test is performed according to the following principles:
 
 1.
An initial qualitative assessment may be performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
 2.
If the Company concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying mount, a quantitative fair value test is performed. An impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value is recognized.
An interim goodwill impairment test may be required in advance or after of the annual impairment test if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For example, a substantial decline in the Company’s market capitalization, unexpected adverse business conditions, economic factors and unanticipated competitive activities may indicate that an interim impairment test is required. In the event that the Company’s market capitalization declines below its book value, the Company considers the length and severity of the decline and the reason for the decline when assessing whether potential goodwill impairment exists.
Identifiable intangible assets
Identifiable intangible assets are comprised of definite life intangible assets and indefinite life intangible assets.
Definite life intangible assets consist mainly of acquired product rights and other rights relating to products for which marketing approval was received from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or the equivalent agencies in other countries. These assets are amortized mainly using the straight-line method over their estimated period of useful life, or based on economic benefit models, if more appropriate, which is determined by identifying the period and manner in which substantially all of the cash flows are expected to be

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
generated. Amortization of acquired developed products is recorded under cost of sales. Amortization of marketing and distribution rights is recorded under selling and marketing (“S&M”) expenses when separable.
Indefinite life intangible assets are mainly comprised of IPR&D assets. Teva monitors these assets for items such as research and development progress and for indicators of fair value change such as level of expected competition and or pricing, to identify any triggering events.
IPR&D acquired in a business combination is capitalized as an indefinite life intangible asset until the related research and development efforts are either completed or abandoned. In the reporting periods where they are treated as indefinite life intangible assets, they are not amortized but rather are monitored triggering events and tested for impairment at least on an annual basis, in the second quarter of the fiscal year. Upon completion of the related research and development efforts, management determines the useful life of the intangible assets and amortizes them accordingly. In case of abandonment or a reduction in the expected realizable value of the asset, the related research and development assets are impaired.
10
2

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
Whenever impairment indicators are identified for definite life intangible assets, Teva reconsiders the asset’s estimated life, calculates the undiscounted value of the asset’s or asset group’s cash flows and compares such value against the asset’s or asset group’s carrying amount. If the carrying amount is greater, Teva records an impairment loss for the excess of book value over fair value based on the discounted cash flows.
For indefinite life intangible assets, Teva performs an impairment test annually in the second quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Teva determines the fair value of the asset based on discounted cash flows and records an impairment loss if its book value exceeds fair value.
In determining the estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets, Teva utilized a discounted cash flow model. The key assumptions within the model related to forecasting future revenue and operating income, an appropriate discount rate and an appropriate terminal value based on the nature of the long-lived asset. The Company’s updated forecasts of net cash flows for the impaired assets reflect, among others, the following: (i) for IPR&D assets, the impact of changes to the development programs, the projected development and regulatory timeframes and the risks associated with these assets; and (ii) for product rights, pricing and volume projections, as well as patent life and any significant changes to the competitive environment.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, after deduction of the related investment grants, and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets: buildings, mainly 40 years; machinery and equipment, mainly 20 years; and other assets, between 5 to 10 years.
For property, plant and equipment and lease
right-of-use
assets, whenever impairment indicators are identified, Teva reconsiders the asset’s estimated life, calculates the undiscounted value of the asset’s cash flows and compares such value against the asset’s carrying amount. If the carrying amount is greater, Teva records an impairment loss for the excess of book value over fair value.

Contingencies:
The Company is involved in various patent, product liability, commercial, government investigations, environmental claims and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Except for income tax contingencies, contingent consideration, other contingent liabilities incurred or acquired in a business combination, Teva records accruals for these types of contingencies to the extent that Teva concludes their occurrence is probable and that the related liabilities are reasonably estimable. When accruing these costs, the Company will recognize an accrual in the amount within a range of loss that is the best estimate within the range. When no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues for the minimum amount within the range. Teva records anticipated recoveries under existing insurance contracts that are probable of occurring at the gross amount that is expected to be collected. When applicable, the Company classifies the effect that the passage of time had on the net present value of a discounted legal accrual as legal expenses. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.
The Company recognizes gain contingencies when they are realized or when all related contingencies have been resolved.

Treasury shares:
Treasury shares are presented as a reduction of Teva shareholders’ equity and carried at their cost to Teva, under treasury shares.
 
p.q.
Stock-based compensation:
Teva recognizes stock based compensation for the estimated fair value of share-based awards, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”). The compensation expense for PSUs is recognized only if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.
Teva measures compensation expense for share-based awards based on estimated fair values on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This option pricing model requires estimates as to the option’sshare-based award’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock. Teva amortizes the value of share-based awards to expense over the vesting period on a straight-line basis.
Teva measures compensation expense for the RSUs and PSUs based on the market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant, less the present value of expected dividends not received during the vesting period, if applicable. Teva amortizes the value of RSUs to expense over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. The compensation expense for PSUs is recognized only if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.
Teva records forfeitures for share-based awards, RSUs and PSUs as they occur. If an estimate of dividends thatemployee forfeits an award because he fails to complete the requisite service period, the Company will not accrue toreverse the RSU and PSU holders prior to vesting.

Deferred income taxes:
Deferred income taxes are determined utilizing the “asset and liability” method based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial accounting and tax basis of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws, and on tax rates anticipated to be in effect when the deferred income taxes are expected to be paid or realized. A valuation allowance is provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. In

determining whether a valuation allowance is needed, Teva considers all available evidence, including historical information, long range forecast of future taxable income and evaluation of tax planning strategies. Amounts recorded for valuation allowance can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and can rely on estimates and assumptions. Deferred income tax liabilities and assets are classified as
non-current.
Tax has not been provided on the following items:

Uncertain tax positions:
Teva recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. Teva regularly
re-evaluates
its tax positions based on developments in its tax audits, statute of limitations expirations, changes in tax laws and new information that can affect the technical merits and change the assessment of Teva’s ability to sustain the tax benefit. In addition, the Company classifies interest and penalties recognized in the financial statements relating to uncertain tax position under the income taxes line item.

Provisions for uncertain tax positions, whereas Teva has net operating losses to offset additional income taxes that would result from the settlement of the tax position, are presented as a reduction of the deferred tax assets for such net operating loss.
 
s.t.
Derivatives and hedging:
The Group carries out transactions involving derivative financial instruments (mainly forward exchange contracts, currency options, cross-currency swap contracts, interest rate swap contracts and treasury locks). The transactions are designed to hedge the Company’s currency and interest rate exposures. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes.
Derivative instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is recognized in financial expenses, net in the statements of income in the period that the changes in fair value occur.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash-flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the anticipated transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

For derivative instruments that are designated as
net-investment
hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income. The effective
10

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
portion is determined by looking into changes in spot exchange rate. The change in fair value attributable to changes other than those due to fluctuations in the spot exchange rate are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are recognized in the statement of income under financial expenses, net.
For derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting, the cash flows associated with these derivatives are reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows consistently with the classification of the cash flows from the underlying hedged items that these derivatives are hedging.
Derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized on the Balance Sheetbalance sheet at their fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized as a component of financial expenses, net in the statements of income. The cash flows associated with these derivatives are reflected as cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
 
t.u.
Revenue recognition:
A contract with a customer exists only when: the parties to the contract have approved it and are committed to perform their respective obligations, the Company can identify each party’s rights regarding the distinct goods or services to be transferred (“performance obligations”), the Company can determine the transaction price for the goods or services to be transferred, the contract has commercial substance and it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer.
Revenues are recorded in the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for performance obligations upon transfer of control to the customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of other third parties and sales taxes.
10
5

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
The amount of consideration to which Teva expects to be entitled varies as a result of rebates, chargebacks, returns and other sales reserves and allowances (“SR&A”) that the Company offers to its customers and their customers, as well as the occurrence or nonoccurrence of future events, including milestone events. A minimum amount of variable consideration is recorded by the Company concurrently with the satisfaction of performance obligations to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are based on historical experience and the specific terms in the individual agreements (which the Company believes approximates expected value). Rebates and chargebacks are the largest components of SR&A. If a minimum cannot be reasonably estimated, such revenue may be deferred to a future period when better information is available. For further description of SR&A components and how they are estimated, see “Variable Consideration” below.
Shipping and handling costs, after control of the product has transferred to a customer, are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are recorded under S&M expenses.
Teva does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component since the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between the time of transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and the time the customer pays for these goods or services to be generally one year or less, based on the practical expedient. The Company’s credit terms to customers are, on average, between thirty and ninety days.
The Company generally recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense since the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. The
10

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
costs are recorded under S&M expenses. Similarly, Teva does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with original expected duration of one year or less.

Nature of revenue streams
Revenue from sales of goods, including sales to distributors is recognized when the customer obtains control of the product. This generally occurs when products are shipped once the Company has a present right to payment and legal title, and risk and rewards of ownership are obtained by the customer.
Licensing arrangements performance obligations generally include intellectual property (“IP”) rights, certain R&D and contract manufacturing services. The Company accounts for IP rights and services separately if they are distinct—distinct – i.e. if they are separately identifiable from other items in the arrangement and if the customer can benefit from them on their own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The consideration is allocated between IP rights and services based on their relative stand-alone selling prices.
Revenue for distinct IP rights is accounted for based on the nature of the promise to grant the license. In determining whether the Company’s promise is to provide a right to access its IP or a right to use its IP, the Company considers the nature of the IP to which the customer will have rights. IP is either functional IP which has significant standalone functionality or symbolic IP which does not have significant standalone functionality. Revenue from functional IP is recognized at the point in time when control of the distinct license is transferred to the customer. Revenue from symbolic IP is recognized over the access period to the Company’s IP.
Revenue from sales based milestones and royalties promised in exchange for a license of IP is recognized only when, or as, the later of subsequent sale or the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based royalty has been allocated, is satisfied. Revenues from licensing arrangements included royalty income of $160 million, $129 million and $147 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
Distribution revenues are derived from sales of third-party products for which the Company acts as distributor, mostly in the United States via Anda and in Israel via Salomon Levin and Elstein Ltd. (SLE). In the United States, the Company is generally the principal in these arrangements and therefore records revenue on a gross basis as it controls the promised goods before transferring these goods to the customer. In Israel, the Company is the agent in these arrangements and therefore records revenue on a net basis as it has no discretion in establishing prices for any specified goods or services, limited inventory risk and is not primarily responsible for contract fulfillment. Revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of the products. This generally occurs when products are shipped once the Company has a present right to payment and legal title and risk and rewards of ownership are obtained by the customer.
Other revenues are primarily comprised of contract manufacturing services, sales of IP rights, sales of medical devices and other miscellaneous items. Revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of thesuch rights or products. This generally occurs when products are shipped, once the Company has a present right to payment and legal title and risk and rewards of ownership are obtained by the customer.
Trade receivables and contract liabilities
Trade receivables are presented net of allowance for credit losses, which includesinclude amounts billed and currently due from customers.
Contract liabilities are mainly comprised of deferred revenues (defined as obligations to provide products or services to customers when payment has been made in advance and delivery or performance has not yet occurred), which were immaterial as of December 31, 20212023 and 2020.2022.

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
Variable consideration
Variable consideration mainly includes SR&A, comprised of rebates (including Medicaid and other governmental program discounts), chargebacks, returns and other promotional (including shelf stock adjustments) items. Provisions for prompt payment discounts are netted against trade receivables.
The Company recognizes these provisions at the time of sale and adjusts them if the actual amounts differ from the estimated provisions. The following describes the nature of each deduction and how provisions are estimated:
Rebates
Rebates are primarily related to volume incentives and are offered to key customers to promote loyalty. These rebate programs provide that, upon the attainment of
pre-established
volumes or the attainment of revenue milestones for a specified period, the customer receives a rebate. Since rebates are contractually agreed upon, they are estimated based on the specific terms in each agreement based on historical trends and expected sales. Externally obtained inventory levels and expected sales usage by contract are evaluated in relation to estimates made for rebates payable to indirect customers and managed care agreements.
Medicaid and Other Governmental Rebates
Pharmaceutical manufacturers whose products are covered by the Medicaid program are required to provide a rebate to each state as a percentage of their average manufacturer’s price for generic products dispensed and “best price” for specialtyinnovative products dispensed. Many states have also implemented supplemental rebate programs that obligate manufacturers to pay rebates in excess of those required under federal law. The Company estimates these rebates based on historical trends of rebates paid, as well as on changes in wholesaler inventory levels and increases or decreases in sales.

Chargebacks
The Company has arrangements with various third parties, such as managed care organizations and drug store chains, establishing prices for certain of Teva’s products. While these arrangements are made between the Company and the customers, the customers independently select a wholesaler from which they purchase the products. Alternatively, certain wholesalers may enter into agreements with the customers, with Teva’s concurrence, which establish the pricing for certain products which the wholesalers provide. Under either arrangement, Teva will issue a credit (referred to as a “chargeback”) to the wholesaler for the difference between the invoice price to the wholesaler and the customer’s contract prices. Provisions for chargebacks involve estimates of contract prices of over 2,000 products and multiple contracts with multiple wholesalers. Provisions for chargebacks involve estimates of usage by retailers and other indirect buyers with varying contract prices for multiple wholesalers. The provision for chargebacks varies in relation to changes in product mix, pricing and the level of inventory at the wholesalers and, therefore, will not necessarily fluctuate in proportion to an increase or decrease in sales. Provisions for estimating chargebacks are calculated using historical chargeback experience and/or expected chargeback levels for new products and anticipated pricing changes. Teva considers current and expected price competition when evaluating the provision for chargebacks. Chargeback provisions are compared to externally obtained distribution channel reports for reasonableness. The Company regularly monitors the provision for chargebacks and makes adjustments when the Company believes that actual chargebacks may differ from estimated provisions.

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
Other Promotional Arrangements
Other promotional or incentive arrangements are periodically offered to customers, specifically related to the launch of products or other targeted promotions. Provisions are made in the period for which the Company can estimate the incentive earned by the customer, in accordance with the contractual terms. The Company regularly monitors the provision for other promotional arrangements and makes adjustments when it believes that the actual provision may differ from the estimated provisions.
Shelf Stock Adjustments
The custom in the pharmaceutical industry is generally to grant customers a shelf stock adjustment based on the customers’ existing inventory contemporaneously with decreases in the market price of the related product. The most significant of these relate to products for which an exclusive or semi-exclusive period exists. Provisions for price reductions depend on future events, including price competition, new competitive launches and the level of customer inventories at the time of the price decline. Teva regularly monitors the competitive factors that influence the pricing of its products and customer inventory levels and adjust these estimates where appropriate.
Returns
Returns primarily relate to customer returns of expired products which, the customer has the right to return up to one year following the expiration date. Such returned products are destroyed and credits and/or refunds are issued to the customer for the value of the returns. Accordingly, no returned assets are recoded in connection with those products. The returns provision is estimated by applying a historical return rate to the amounts of revenue estimated to be subject to returns. Revenue subject to returns is estimated based on the lag time from time of sale to date of return. The estimated lag time is developed by analyzing historical experience. Additionally, The Company considers specific factors, such as estimated levels of inventory in the distribution channel, product dating and expiration, size and maturity of launch, entrance of new competitors, changes in formularies or packaging and any changes to customer terms, for determining the overall expected levels of returns.

Prompt Pay Discounts
Prompt pay discounts are offered to most customers to encourage timely payment. Discounts are estimated at the time of invoice based on historical discounts in relation to sales. Prompt pay discounts are almost always utilized by customers. As a result, the actual discounts do not vary significantly from the estimated amount.

Research and development:
Research and development expenses are charged to statement of income (loss) as incurred. Participations and grants in respect of research and development expenses are recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses as the related costs are incurred, or as the related milestone is met.
Advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred. Such amounts are recognized as an expense as the related goods are used or the services are rendered.
Research and development

The Company accounts for grants received to perform research and development services in accordance with
ASC 730-20,
Research and Development Arrangements. At the inception of the grant, the Company performs an assessment as to whether the grant is a liability or a contract to perform research and development services for others. If Teva is obligated to repay the grant funds to the grantor regardless of the outcome of the research and development activities, then it is required to estimate and recognize that liability. Alternatively, if Teva is not required to repay, or if it is required to repay the grant funds only if the research and development activities are successful, then the grant agreement is accounted for as a contract to perform research and development services for others, in which case, a reduction of research and development costs is recognized when the related research and development expenses are incurred.

Contractual termination benefits are provided to employees when employment is terminated due to an event specified in the provisions of an existing plan or agreement. A liability is recorded and the expense is recognized when it is probable that employees will be entitled to the benefits and the amount is reasonably estimable.
Special termination benefits arise when the Company offers, for a short period of time, to provide certain additional benefits to employees electing voluntary termination. A liability is recorded and the expense is recognized in the period the employees irrevocably accept the offer and the amount of the termination liability is reasonably estimable.

Securitization
and factoring
Teva accounts for transfers of certain of its trade receivable as sales when it has surrendered control over the related assets in accordance with ASC Topic 860 “Transfer and Servicing” of Financial Assets. Whether control has been relinquished requires, among other things, an evaluation of relevant legal considerations and an assessment of the nature and extent of the Company’s continuing involvement with the assets transferred. Assets obtained and liabilities incurred in connection with transfers reported as sales are initially recognized in the balance sheet at fair value. Refer to note 10 f.

Divestitures
The Company nets the proceeds on the divestitures of productsbusinesses and tangible assets with the carrying amount of the related assets and records gain or loss on sale within other income. Any contingent payments that are potentially due to the Company as a result of these divestitures are recorded when it is probable that a significant reversal of income will not occur, or in the case of a business, when such payments are realizable. For divestures of businesses, including divestitures of products that qualify as a business, the Company reflects the relative fair value of goodwill associated with the businesses in the determination of gain or loss on sale.

Debt instruments
Debt instruments are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received. Debt issuance costs are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction of liability. They are subsequently recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Debt may be considered extinguished when it has been modified and the terms of the new debt instruments and old debt instruments are “substantially different” (as defined in the debt modification guidance in ASC
470-50 “Debt—
“Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments”). The Company classifies the current portion of long term debt as

Leases
Teva adopted the new accounting standard ASC 842 “Leases” and all the related amendments on January 1, 2019 and used the effective date as Teva’s date of initial application.
Teva determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease classification is governed by five criteria in ASC
842-10-25-2.
If any of these five criteria is met, Teva classifies the lease as a finance lease. Otherwise, Teva
11
3

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
classifies the lease as an operating lease. When determining lease classification, Teva’s approach in assessing two of the mentioned criteria is: (i) generally, 75% or more of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset is a major part of the remaining economic life of that underlying asset; and (ii) generally, 90% or more of the fair value of the underlying asset comprises substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset.
Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets, other current liabilities and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.sheet. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.sheet.
ROU assets represent Teva’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent Teva’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU and finance lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.term, which may include options to extend or terminate the lease, when it is reasonably certain at the commencement date whether the Company will or will not exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. Teva uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of the lease payments.
For finance leases, Teva recognizes interest on the lease liability separately from amortization of the assets in the consolidated statement of income. For operating leases, lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. Teva elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases with a term shorter than 12 months. This means that for those leases, Teva does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, including ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of assets in transition, but recognizes lease expenses over the lease term on a straight line basis. Teva also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and
non-lease
components for all of Teva’s leases, other than leases of real estate.
Lease terms will include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that Teva will either exercise or not exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease.
Teva’s lease agreements have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 year to 7876 years. Some of these agreements include options to extend the leases for up to 10 years and some include options to terminate the leases immediately. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property.

The depreciable life of leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or a purchase option for the leased asset reasonably certain of exercise.
Some of Teva’s vehicle lease agreements include rental payments based on the actual usage of the vehicles and other lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Teva’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees.
The new lease standard had no impact on Teva’s debt-covenant compliance under its syndicated revolving credit facility.
Teva rents out or subleases certain assets to third parties, which has an immaterial impact on Teva’s consolidated financial statements.

Product rights and trade names
Product rights and trade names are assets presented at amortized cost. Product rights and trade names represent a portfolio of pharmaceutical products from various categories with a weighted average life of approximately 109 years. Amortization of intangible assets amounted to $802was $616 million, $1,020$732 million and $1,113$802 million in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
As of December 31, 2021,2023, the estimated aggregate amortization of intangible assets for the years 20222024 to 20262028 is as follows: 2022—$689 million; 2023—$711 million; 2024—$651503 million; 2025—$630460 million; 2026—$462 million; 2027—$451 million and 2026—2028—$652398 million. These estimates do not include the impact of IPR&D that is expected to be successfully completed and reclassified to product rights.
IPR&D
Teva’s IPR&D are assets that have not yet been approved in major markets. IPR&D carries intrinsic risks that the asset might not succeed in advanced phases and may be impaired in future periods.
During 2021, Teva reclassified $192 million of products from IPR&D to product rights, of which $153 million were reclassified in connection with lenalidomide (generic equivalent of Revlimid
®
).
Intangible assets impairment
Impairments of identifiable intangible assets were $424$350 million, $1,502$355 million and $1,639$424 million in the years ended December 31, 2021, 20202023, 2022 and 2019,2021, respectively. These amounts are recorded in the statement of income (loss) under intangible assets impairments.
The fair value measurement of the impaired intangible assets in 2023 is based on significant unobservable inputs in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The discount rate applied ranged from 8.5% to 10%. A probability of success factor ranging from 20% to 90% was used in the fair value calculation to reflect inherent regulatory and commercial risk of IPR&D.
Impairments in 2023 consisted of:
(a)Identifiable product rights of $260 million due to: (i) $148 million related to updated market assumptions regarding price and volume of products; and (ii) $112 million in Japan, mainly related to regulatory pricing reductions; and
(b)IPR&D assets of $90 million, mainly related to generic pipeline products resulting from development progress and changes in other key valuation indications (e.g., market size, competition assumptions, legal landscape and launch date).
Impairments in 2022 consisted of:
(a)
Identifiable product rights of $310 million due to: (i) $256 million related to updated market assumptions regarding price and volume of products, and (ii) $54 million related to a change in Teva’s commercial plans regarding a certain program, as part of portfolio optimization efforts, which also included an inventory
write-off
of $108 million; and
(b)IPR&D assets of $45 million, due to generic pipeline products resulting from development progress and changes in other key valuation indications (e.g., market size, competition assumptions, legal landscape and launch date).
Impairments in 2021 consisted of:
 
 (a)
Identifiable product rights and trade names of $297 million due to: (i) $267 million, mainly related to updated market assumptions regarding price and volume of products acquired from Actavis

Teva operates its business through three reporting segments: North America, Europe and International Markets. Each of these business segments is a reporting unit. Additional reporting units include Teva’s production and sale of APIs to third parties (“Teva API”) and an
out-licensing
platform offering a portfolio of products to other pharmaceutical companies through its affiliate Medis. The TevaTeva’s API and Medis reporting units are included under “Other” in the above table.table above. See note 19 for additional segment information.

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
Teva determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach. The income approach is a forward-looking approach for estimating fair value. Within the income approach, the method used is the discounted cash flow method. Teva startsbegins with a forecast of all the expected net cash flows associated with the reporting unit, which includes the application of a terminal value, and then applies a discount rate to arrive at a net present value amount. Cash flow projections are based on Teva’s estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate used is based on the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”), adjusted for the relevant risk associated with country-specific and business-specific characteristics. If any of these expectations were to vary materially from Teva’s assumptions, Teva may record an impairment of goodwill allocated to these reporting units in the future.

First Quarter Developments
During the first quarter of 2021,2023, management assessedevaluated whether there were any developments that occurred during the quarter to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair value of any of its reporting units was below its carrying amount.
Based on this assessment, management concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of any of the reporting units was below its carrying valueamount as of March 31, 20212023. Management concluded that no triggering event had occurred and, therefore, no quantitative assessment was performed.
Following the goodwill impairment charges recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022 in relation to Teva’s International Markets and Teva’s API reporting units, the carrying values of those reporting units equaled their fair value as of December 31, 2022. Additionally, as part of the quantitative analysis Teva conducted as part of its annual goodwill impairment test in the second quarter of 2022, it concluded that the estimated fair value of Teva’s Europe reporting unit exceeded its estimated carrying amount by 9%.
Second Quarter Developments
DuringPursuant to Company policy, Teva conducted the annual goodwill impairment test for all reporting units during the second quarter of 2021, Teva completed2023. Management considered all information available, including information gathered from its latest long-range planning (“LRP”) process. The LRP is partprocess and annual operating plan (“AOP”), which are parts of Teva’s internal financial planning and budgeting processes, as well as Teva’s newly launched “Pivot to Growth” strategy. The LRP, the AOP and isTeva’s Pivot to Growth strategy were discussed and reviewed by Teva’s management and its board of directors.
Additionally, Teva conducted a quantitative analysis of all reporting units as part of its annual goodwill impairment test with the assistance of an independent valuation expert.
Based on this quantitative analysis, no goodwill impairment charge was recorded duringin the second quarter of 2021.2023, Teva recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $700 million related to its International Markets reporting unit, mainly due to an increase in the discount rate due to higher risk associated with country-specific characteristics of several countries.
Following the goodwill impairment charge recorded in relation to Teva’s International Markets reporting unit, the carrying value of this reporting unit equaled its fair value as of June 30, 2023. Therefore, if business conditions or expectations were to change materially, it may be necessary to record further impairment charges to Teva’s International Markets reporting unit in the future.
The excess of the estimated fair value of Teva’s API reporting unit over its estimated carrying amount as of June 30, 2023, was negligible. Therefore, if business conditions or expectations were to change materially, it may be necessary to record impairment charges to Teva’s API reporting unit in the future.
The estimated fair value of Teva’s Europe reporting unit exceeds its estimated carrying amount by 3% based on a terminal growth rate of 1.56% and a discount rate of 9.96%. If Teva holds all other assumptions constant, a reduction in the terminal growth rate of 0.25% to 1.31% or an increase in the discount rate of 0.25% to 10.21% would result in a reduction of the excess of fair value over carrying amount with respect to Teva’s Europe reporting unit to 1%.
Teva’s North America and Medis reporting units have fair values in excess of 10% over their respective book values as of June 30, 2023.
Teva noted its market capitalization has been below management’s assessment of the aggregated fair value of the Company’s reporting units. However, as of June 30, 2023, the Company’s market capitalization plus a reasonable control premium exceeded its book value.

Third Quarter Developments
During the third quarter of 2021,2023, management assessedevaluated whether there were any developments that occurred during the quarter to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair value of any of its reporting units was below its carrying amount.amount as of September 30, 2023. Management concluded that no triggering event had occurred and, therefore, no quantitative assessment was performed.
Fourth Quarter Developments
During the fourth quarter of 2023, Teva completed its AOP process. The AOP was used as a base for an update of the LRP and Teva’s Pivot to Growth strategy, incorporating the changes for future years in the fair value model.
Additionally, management evaluated whether there were any developments that occurred during the quarter to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of its reporting units was below its carrying amount as of December 31, 2023.
Management noted the following main triggering events during the fourth quarter for its International Markets reporting unit and its Teva’s API reporting unit: (i) fluctuations in exchange rates between certain currencies in which Teva operates in its International Markets reporting unit, and the U.S. dollar, are expected to significantly lower projected operating results; and (ii) updated assumptions supporting the cash flow projections of Teva’s API reporting unit, including certain revenue growth assumptions, and the associated operating profit margins, mainly resulting from changes in market conditions.
Management performed a quantitative assessment in the fourth quarter of 2023, which resulted in no recognition of a goodwill impairment.
Based
Following the quantitative assessment performed in relation to Teva’s International Markets reporting unit, the excess of its estimated fair value over its estimated carrying amount as of December 31, 2023, was 6%, based on thisa terminal growth rate of 1.79% and a discount rate of 12.23%. If Teva holds all other assumptions constant, a reduction in the terminal growth rate of 0.25% to 1.54% or an increase in the discount rate of 0.25% to 12.48% would result in a reduction of the excess of fair value over carrying amount with respect to Teva’s International Markets reporting unit to 4%.
Following the quantitative assessment performed in relation to Teva’s API reporting unit, the excess of its estimated fair value over its estimated carrying amount as of December 31, 2023, was negligible. Therefore, if business conditions or expectations (such as growth rate or discount rate) were to adversely change, it may be necessary to record impairment charges to Teva’s API reporting unit in the future.
With respect to the remaining reporting units, management concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of any of the reporting units was below its carrying valueamounts as of September 30, 2021December 31, 2023 and, therefore, no quantitative assessment was performed.
Fourth Quarter Developments

Based on this assessment, management concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of any of the reporting units was below its carrying value as of December 31, 2021 and, therefore, no quantitative assessment was performed. Changes to Teva’s current assessment regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its projections and its long-term forecast related to AUSTEDO could result in future impairments.

Convertible senior debentures
The principal amount of Teva’s 0.25% convertible senior debentures due 2026 was $23 million as of December 31, 20212023 and $514 million as of December 31, 2020.2022. These convertible senior debentures include a “net share settlement” feature according to which the principal amount will be paid in cash and in case of conversion, only the residual conversion value above the principal amount will be paid in Teva shares. Due to the “net share settlement” feature, exercisable at any time, these convertible senior debentures are classified in the Balance Sheet under short-term debt. Holders of the convertible senior debentures exercised their optional repurchase right and redeemed $491 million of the convertible senior debentures on February 1, 2021, which was the date to exercise this right.

Teva’s principal sources of short-term liquidity are its cash on hand, existing cash investments, liquid securities and available credit facilities, primarily its $2.3$1.8 billion unsecured syndicated sustainability-linked revolving credit facility entered into in April 2019, which will be reduced to $2.2 billion2022, as amended in April 2022February 2023 (“RCF”).
The RCF agreement provides for two separate tranches, a $1.15 billion tranche A and a $1.15 billion tranche B. Tranche A had a maturity date of April 8, 2022, of which an amount of $1.065 billion was extended twice, initially to April 8, 2023 and then to April 8, 2024. Tranche B has a maturity date of
April 8, 2024. Loans and letters of credit will be available from time to time under each tranche for Teva’s general corporate purposes.2026
, with two
one-year
extension options. The RCF contains certain covenants, including certain limitations on incurring liens and indebtedness and maintenance of certain financial ratios, including the requirement to maintain compliance with a net debt to EBITDAmaximum leverage ratio, which becomes more restrictive over time. In addition, the RCF is linked to two sustainability performance targets: (i) the Company’s S&P ESG Score and (ii) number of new regulatory submissions in low and middle-income countries. The net debtRCF margin may increase or decrease depending on the Company’s sustainability performance.
On February 6, 2023, the terms of the RCF were amended to EBITDAupdate the Company’s maximum leverage ratio limit was 5.00x throughunder the RCF for certain periods. Under the terms of the RCF, as amended, the Company’s leverage ratio shall not exceed 4.00x in the fourth quarter of 2021, gradually declines to 4.50x2023, 4.00x in the first, second and secondthird quarters of 2022, 4.00x in the third2024, and fourth quarters of 2022, and will decline to 3.50x in the firstfourth quarter of 2023.2024 and onwards.
The RCF can be used for general corporate purposes, including repaying existing debt. In July 2023, a total amount of $700 million was withdrawn under the RCF, of which $200 million was repaid in September 2023 and the remaining amount of $500 million was repaid in the fourth quarter of 2023.

no amounts were outstanding under the RCF. Based on current and forecasted results, the Company expects that it will not exceed the financial covenant thresholds set forth in the RCF within one year from the date the financial statements are issued.
Under specified circumstances, including
non-compliance
with any of the covenants described above and the unavailability of any waiver, amendment or other modification thereto, the Company will not be able to borrow under the RCF. Additionally, violations of the covenants, under the above-mentioned circumstances, would result in an event of default in all borrowings under the RCF and, when greater than a specified threshold amount as set forth in each series of senior notes and sustainability-linked senior notes is outstanding, could lead to an event of default under the Company’s senior notes and sustainability-linked senior notes

Based on current and forecasted results, the CompanyTeva expects that it will not exceed the financial covenant thresholds set forth in the RCF within one year from the date these financial statements are issued. Due to the fact that Teva’s cash flow generation and EBITDA vary between quarters, there is a possibility that Teva will not be compliant with its financial covenants during a specific period and could temporarily be unable to draw upon the RCF. If this were to occur, Teva expects to continue to have sufficient cash resources to support its debt service payments and all other financial obligations within one year from the date that thesethe financial statements are issued without drawing upon the RCF. Teva continually evaluates its expected compliance with the covenants described above, and intends, if needed, to proactively renegotiate and amend such covenants.

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
NOTE 10—Derivative instruments and hedging activities:
 
a.
Foreign exchange risk management:
In 2021,2023, approximately 48%47% of Teva’s revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, Teva is subject to significant foreign currency risks.
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts and purchases and writes options in order to hedge the currency exposure on balance sheet items, revenues and expenses. In addition, the Company takes measures to reduce its exposure by using natural hedging. The Company also acts to offset risks in opposite directions among the subsidiaries within Teva. The currency hedged items are usually denominated in the following main currencies: the euro, the Swiss franc, the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Russian ruble, the Canadian dollar, the Polish zloty, thenew Israeli shekel, Indian rupee and other European and Latin American currencies. Depending on market conditions, foreign currency risk is also managed through the use of foreign currency debt.
The Company may choose to hedge against possible fluctuations in foreign subsidiaries net assets (“net investment hedge”) and has in the past entered into cross currency swaps and forward contracts in the past in order to hedge such an exposure.
12

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
Most of the counterparties to the derivatives are major banks and the Company is monitoring the associated inherent credit risks. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes.
 
b.
Interest risk management:
The Company raises capital through various debt instruments, including senior notes, sustainability-linked senior notes, bank loans and convertible debentures andthat bear fixed or variable interest rates, as well as a syndicated sustainability-linked revolving credit facility and securitization programs that bear a fixed or variable interest rate. In some cases, the Company has swapped from a fixed to a variable interest rate (“fair value hedge”) and from a fixed to a fixed interest rate with an exchange from a currency other than the functional currency (“cash flow hedge”), thereby reducing overall interest expenses or hedging risks associated with interest rate fluctuations.
As of December 31, 2023, all outstanding senior notes, sustainability-linked senior notes and convertible debentures bear a fixed interest rate.
c.
Bifurcated embedded derivatives:
Upon issuance of sustainability-linked senior notes, Teva recognized embedded derivatives related to interest rate adjustments and a potential
one-time
premium payment upon failure to achieve certain sustainability performance targets, such as access to medicines in
low-to-middle-income
countries and absolute greenhouse gas emissions reduction, which were bifurcated and are accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. As of December 31, 20212023 the fair value of these derivative instruments is negligible.

In each of the first and second quarters of 2017,On March 31, 2023, Teva entered into a cross currency swap agreement with a notional amount of $500 million maturing in 2020. These cross currency swaps were designated as a net investment hedge of Teva’s foreign subsidiaries euro denominated net assets, in order to reduce the risk of adverse exchange rate fluctuations. With respect to these cross currency swap agreements, Teva recognized gains which mainly reflect the differences between the float-for-float interest rates paid and received. In the first quarter of 2020, these cross-currency swap agreements expired. The settlement of these transactions resulted in cash proceeds of $3 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2016, Teva entered into an interest rate swap agreement, designated as fair valuecash flow hedge relating to its 2.8% senior notes due 2023for accounting purposes with respect to $500 million notional amount of outstanding debt. With respect to this interest rate swap agreement, Teva recognized a loss which mainly reflects the differences between the fixed interest rate and the floating interest rate.

Teva uses foreign exchange contracts (mainly option and forward contracts) to hedge balance sheet items from currency exposure. These foreign exchange contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. In connection with these foreign exchange contracts, Teva recognizes gains or losses that offset the revaluation of the balance sheet items also recorded under financial expenses, net.
(5)(3)
Teva entered into option and forward contracts designed to limit the exposure of foreign exchange fluctuations on projected revenues and expenses recorded in euro, the Swiss franc, the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Russian ruble, the Canadian dollar, Polish zloty and some other currencies to protect its projected operating results for 20212023 and 2022.2024. These derivative instruments do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, however, they are accounted for as an economic hedge. These derivative instruments, which may include hedging transactions against future projected revenues and expenses, are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value on a quarterly basis, while the foreign exchange impact on the underlying revenues and expenses may occur in subsequent quarters. In 2021,2023, the negative impact from these derivatives recognized under revenues was $2 million. In 2022, the positive impact from these derivatives recognized under
revenues
was $31$11 million. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized in the same line item in the statements of income as the underlying exposure being hedged. The cashCash flows associated with these derivatives are reflected as cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Forward starting interest rate swaps and treasury lock agreements
In 2015, Teva entered into forward starting interest rate swaps and treasury lock agreements to protect the Company from interest rate fluctuations in connection with a future debt issuance the Company was planning. These forward starting interest rate swaps and treasury lock agreements were terminated in July 2016 upon the debt issuance. The termination of these transactions resulted in a loss

of $493 million, which was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is amortized under financial expenses, net over the life of the debt.
With respect to these forward starting interest rate swaps and treasury lock agreements, losses of $37 million, $31 million, $30 million and $29$37 million were recognized under financial expenses, net for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The SPV may amend the agreement and increase the commitment amount up to $1 billion from March 2024 through November 2025 if additional commitments are provided under the AR facility.
Under the AR Facility, Teva’s subsidiaries continuously sell their accounts receivables, originated in the U.S., to the SPV and the SPV

EU securitization program
f.
Securitization:
In April 2011, Teva established a trade receivables securitization program (the “EU securitization program”) to sell tradeaccounts receivables, mainly originated in Europe, to BNP Paribas Bank (“BNP”). Under the EU securitization program, Teva, (onon a consolidated basis)basis through its participating subsidiaries, receives an initial cash purchase price and the right to receive a deferred purchase price (“DPP”), according to the purchase price for the receivables sold by it.
On an individual seller basis, each Teva subsidiary participating in the EU securitization program sells receivables to BNP for an amount equal toat their nominal amount. BNP then immediately
on-sells
such receivables at their nominal amount to a bankruptcy-remote special-purpose entity (“SPE”), for an amount equal to the nominal amount of such trade receivables. The SPE then on-sellswhich in turn sells such receivables to a conduit sponsored by BNP (“the conduit”) for an initial cash purchase price (equal to the nominal amount of such receivables less a discount) and the right to receive a DPP.
The SPE is a VIE for which Teva is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The SPE’s sole business consists of the purchase of receivables from Teva subsidiaries and the subsequent transfersale of such receivables to the conduit.
Although the SPE is included in Teva’s consolidated financial statements, it is a separate legal entity with separate creditors. The conduit and other designated creditors of the SPE are entitled, both before and upon the SPE’s liquidation, to be paid out of the SPE’s assets prior to the DPP payable to Teva. The SPE’s assets of the SPE are not available to pay creditors of TevaTeva’s or its subsidiaries.subsidiaries’ creditors.
In August 2021, Teva has reachedextended the EU securitization program by an agreement with BNP Paribas to extend the asset backed securitization agreement by additional five years, to August 2026. The amended agreement includes several improvements related to the commercial terms. No changes were applied with the program volume, scope or associated processes.

Supplier Finance Program Obligation
Teva maintains supply chain finance agreements with participating financial institutions. Under these agreements, participating suppliers may voluntarily elect to sell their accounts receivable with Teva to these financial institutions. Teva’s suppliers negotiate their financing agreements directly with the respective financial institutions and Teva is not a party to these agreements. Teva has no economic interest in its suppliers’ decisions to participate in the program and Teva pays the financial institutions the stated amount of confirmed invoices on the maturity dates, which is generally within 120 days from the date the invoice was received. The agreements with the financial institutions do not require Teva to provide assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees for the supplier finance program. All outstanding amounts related to suppliers participating in the supplier finance program are recorded under accounts payables in Teva’s consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding
accounts payables to suppliers
participating in these supplier finance programs were $108 million and $34 million, respectively.

Commitments:
Royalty commitments:
The Company is committed to pay royalties to owners of
know-how,
partners in alliances and other certain arrangements and to parties that financed research and development, at a wide range of rates as a percentage of sales or of the gross margin of certain products, as defined in the underlying agreements.
Royalty expenses in each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 2020were $543 million, $560 million and 2019 were $522 million, $505 million and $403 million, respectively.
Milestone commitments:
Teva has committed to make potential future milestone payments to third parties under various agreements. These payments are contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events and, given the nature of these events, it is unclear when, if ever, Teva may be required to pay such amounts. As of December 31, 2021,2023, if all development milestones and targets, for compounds in phase 2 and more advanced stages of development, are achieved, the total contingent payments could reach an aggregate amount of up to $121$20 million. Additional contingent payments are owed upon achievement of product approval or launch milestones.
 
b.
Contingencies:
General
From time to time, Teva and/or its subsidiaries are subject to claims for damages and/or equitable relief arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, as described below, in large part as a result of the nature of its business, Teva is frequently subject to litigation. Teva generally believes that it has meritorious defenses to the actions brought against it and vigorously pursues the defense or settlement of each such action.
Teva records a provision in its consolidated financial statements to the extent that it concludes that a contingent liability is probable and the amount thereof is reasonably estimable. Based upon the status of the cases described below, management’s assessments of the likelihood of damages, and the advice of legal counsel, no material provisions have been made regarding the matters disclosed in this note, except as noted below. Litigation outcomes and contingencies are unpredictable, and excessive verdicts can occur.substantial damages or other relief may be awarded. Accordingly, management’s assessments involve complex judgments about future events and often rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. Teva continuously reviews the matters described below and may, from time to time, remove previously disclosed matters where the exposures were fully resolved in the prior year, or determined to no longer meet the materiality threshold for disclosure, or were substantially resolved.

If one or more of such proceedings described below were to result in final judgments against Teva, such judgments could be material to its results of operations and cash flows in a given period. In addition, Teva incurs significant legal fees and related expenses in the course of defending its positions even if the facts and circumstances of a particular litigation do not give rise to a provision in the consolidated financial statements.

In connection with third-party agreements, Teva may under certain circumstances be required to indemnify, and may be indemnified by, in unspecified amounts, the parties to such agreements against third-party claims. Among other things, Teva’s agreements with third parties may require Teva to indemnify them, or require them to indemnify Teva, for the costs and damages incurred in connection with product liability claims, in specified or unspecified amounts.
Except as otherwise noted, all of the litigation matters disclosed below involve claims arising in the United States. Except as otherwise noted, all third party sales figures given below are based on IQVIA data.
Intellectual Property Litigation
From time to time, Teva seeks to develop generic and biosimilar versions of patent-protected pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals for sale prior to patent expiration in various markets. In the United States, to obtain approval for most generics prior to the expiration of the originator’s patents, Teva must challenge the patents under the procedures set forth in the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, as amended. For many biosimilar products that are covered by patents, Teva participates in the “patent dance” procedures of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (“BPCIA”), which allow for the challenge to originator patents prior to obtaining biosimilar product approval. To the extent that Teva seeks to utilize such patent challenge procedures, Teva is and expects to be involved in patent litigation regarding the validity, enforceability or infringement of the originator’s patents. Teva may also be involved in patent litigation involving the extent to which its product or manufacturing process techniques may infringe other originator or third-party patents.
Additionally, depending upon a complex analysis of a variety of legal and commercial factors, Teva may, in certain circumstances, elect to market a generic or biosimilar version of the product even though litigation is still pending. To the extent Teva elects to proceed in this manner, it could face substantial liability for patent infringement if the final court decision is adverse to Teva, which could be material to its results of operations and cash flows in a given period.
Teva could also be sued for patent infringement outside of the context of the Hatch-Waxman Act.Act or BPCIA. For example, Teva could be sued for patent infringement after commencing sales of a product. In addition, forThis type of litigation can involve any of Teva’s pharmaceutical products, not just its generic and biosimilar products, Teva could be sued according to the “patent dance” procedures of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA).products.
The general rule for damages in patent infringement cases in the United States is that the patentee should be compensated by no less than a reasonable royalty and it may also be able, in certain circumstances, to be compensated for its lost profits. The amount of a reasonable royalty award would generally be calculated based on the sales of Teva’s product. The amount of lost profits would generally be based on the lost sales of the patentee’s product. In addition, the patentee may seek consequential damages as well as enhanced damages of up to three times the profits lost by the patent holder for willful infringement, although courts have typically awarded much lower multiples.
Teva is also involved in litigation regarding patents in other countries where it does business, particularly in Europe. The laws concerning generic pharmaceuticals and patents differ from country to country. Damages for patent infringement in Europe may include lost profits or a reasonable royalty, but enhanced damages for willful infringement are generally not available.

In October 2016, Adapt and Emergent Biosciences Inc. (“EBSI”) sued Teva in the District Court of New Jersey, asserting infringement of its patents expiring in 2035, as a result of Teva’s filing of its ANDA seeking to market a generic version of Narcan

Product Liability Litigation
Teva’s business inherently exposes it to potential product liability claims. Teva maintains a program of insurance, which may include commercial insurance, self-insurance (including direct risk retention), or a combination of both approaches,types of insurance, in amounts and on terms that it believes are reasonable and prudent in light of its business and related risks. However, Teva sells, and will continue to sell, pharmaceuticals that are not covered by its product liability insurance; in addition, it may be subject to claims for which insurance coverage is denied as well as claims that exceed its policy limits. Product liability coverage for pharmaceutical companies is becoming more expensive and increasingly difficult to obtain. As a result, Teva may not be able to obtain the type and amount of insurance it desires, or any insurance on reasonable terms, in certain or all of its markets.
Teva and its subsidiaries are parties to litigation relating to previously unknown nitrosamine impurities discovered in certain products. The discovery led to a global recall of single and combination valsartan medicines around the world starting in July 2018 and to subsequent recalls on other products. The nitrosamine impurities in valsartan arewere allegedly found in the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API)(“API”) supplied to Teva by multiple API manufacturers.manufacturers, including by Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. (“Huahai”). Since July 2018, Teva has been actively engaged with global regulatory authorities in reviewing its sartan and other products to determine whether NDMA and/or other related nitrosamine impurities are present in specific products. Where necessary, Teva has initiated additional voluntary recalls.
Multiple lawsuits have been filed in connection with this matter. Teva’s products allegedly at issue in the various nitrosamine-related litigations pending in the United States include valsartan, losartan, metformin and ranitidine. There are currently two Multi-District Litigations (“MDL”) pending in the United States District Courts against Teva and numerous other manufacturers. Onemanufacturers, including one MDL is pending in the United StatesU.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey for valsartan, losartan and irbesartan.

Plaintiffs have moved to file amended complaints, which defendants have opposed. In the ranitidine MDL the generics manufacturers’ motions to dismiss have been dismissed on preemption grounds but are subject to appeal. The district court in the ranitidine MDL also excluded all of plaintiffs’ general causation experts and granted although certain plaintiffs have appeals pending. Teva, as well as othersummary judgment to the brand defendants on preemption grounds and later applied that general causation ruling to all defendants. This ruling is on appeal in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

Teva has also been namedclaims in one personal injury metformin case filed in Florida state court, which has been removed to federal court. Teva has filed a motion to dismiss in the Florida metformin action, which is currently pending.this related proceeding. Similar lawsuits are pending in Canada and Germany.
Competition Matters
As part of its generic pharmaceuticals business, Teva has challenged a number of patents covering branded pharmaceuticals, some of which are among the most widely-prescribed and well-known drugs on the market. Many of Teva’s patent challenges have resulted in litigation relating to Teva’s attempts to market generic versions of such pharmaceuticals under the federal Hatch-Waxman Act. Some of this litigation has been resolved through settlement agreements in which Teva obtained a license to market a generic version of the drug, often years before the patents expire.
Teva and its subsidiaries have increasingly been named as defendants in cases that allege antitrust violations arising from such settlement agreements. The plaintiffs in these cases which are usually direct and indirect purchasers of pharmaceutical products, and oftensome of whom assert claims on behalf of classes of all direct and indirect purchasers, and they typically allege that (1)(i) Teva received something of value from the innovator in exchange for an agreement to delay generic entry, and (2)(ii) significant savings could have been realized if there had been no settlement agreement and generic competition had commenced earlier. These class action casesplaintiffs seek various forms of injunctive and monetary relief, including damages based on the difference between the brand price and what the generic price allegedly would have been and disgorgement of profits, which are often automatically tripled under the relevant statutes, plus attorneys’ fees and costs. The alleged damages generally depend on the size of the branded market and the length of the alleged delay, and can be substantial—substantial, potentially measured in multiples of the annual brand sales—sales, particularly where the alleged delays are lengthy or branded drugs with annual sales in the billions of dollars are involved.

Teva believes that its settlement agreements are lawful and serve to increase competition, and has defended them vigorously. In Teva’s experience to date, these cases have typically settled for a fraction of the high end of the damages sought, although there can be no assurance that such outcomes will continue.
In June 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court held, in Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) v. Actavis, Inc. (the “AndroGel case”), that a rule of reason test should be applied in analyzing whether such settlements potentially violate the federal antitrust laws. The Supreme Court held that a trial court must analyze each agreement in its entirety in order to determine whether it violates the antitrust laws. This new test has resulted in increased scrutiny of Teva’s patent settlements, additional action by the FTC and state and local authorities, and an increased risk of liability in Teva’s currently pending antitrust litigations.
In May 2015, Cephalon Inc., a Teva subsidiary (“Cephalon”), entered into a consent decree with the FTC (the “Modafinil Consent Decree”) under which the FTC dismissed antitrust claims against Cephalon related to certain finished modafinil products (marketed as PROVIGIL
®
) in exchange for Cephalon and Teva agreeing to, among other things, abide by certain restrictions and limitations, for a period of ten years, when entering into settlement agreements to resolve patent litigation in the United States. Those restrictions and limitations were further refined in connection with the settlement of other unrelated FTC antitrust lawsuits, as described below, and the term of the Modafinil Consent Decree was extended until 2029.
In November 2020, the European Commission issued a final decision in its proceedings against both Cephalon and Teva, finding that the 2005 settlement agreement between the parties had the object and effect of

Teva and Cephalon filed an appeal against the decision in February 2021.2021, and a judgment was issued on October 18, 2023 rejecting Teva’s grounds of appeal. A provision for this matter was included in the financial statements. Teva has provided the European Commission with a bank guarantee in the amount of the imposed fines.
Teva and its affiliates have been named as defendants in lawsuits alleging that multiple patent litigation settlement agreements relating to AndroGel
®
1% (testosterone gel) violate the antitrust laws. The first of these lawsuits (the “Georgia AndroGel Litigation”) was filed in January 2009 in California federal court, and later transferred to Georgia federal court, with the FTC and the State of California, and later private plaintiffs, challenging a September 2006 patent litigation settlement between Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Watson”), from which Teva later acquired certain assets and liabilities, and Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Solvay”). The second lawsuit (the “Philadelphia AndroGel Litigation”) was filed by the FTC in September 2014 in federal court in Philadelphia, challenging Teva’s December 2011 patent litigation settlement with AbbVie. The FTC stipulated to dismiss Teva from both litigations, in exchange for Teva’s agreement to amend the Modafinil Consent Decree, as described above. On July 16, 2018, the direct purchaser plaintiffs’ motion for class certification in the Georgia AndroGel Litigation was denied and Teva later settled with the retailer plaintiffs in the Georgia AndroGel Litigation as well as the three direct purchasers that had sought class certification, thus leaving no remaining claims in the Georgia AndroGel Litigation. In August 2019, certain other direct-purchaser plaintiffs (who would have been members of the direct purchaser class in the Georgia AndroGel Litigation, had it been certified) filed their own claims in the federal court in Philadelphia (where the Philadelphia AndroGel Litigation has been pending), challenging (in one complaint) both the September 2006 settlement between Watson and Solvay, and the December 2011 settlement between Teva and AbbVie. Those claims remain pending. Annual sales of AndroGel

In December 2011, three groups of plaintiffs suedfiled claims against Wyeth and Teva for alleged violations of the antitrust laws in connection with their November 2005 settlement of patent litigation involving extended release venlafaxine (generic Effexor XR
®
) entered into in November 2005.. The cases were filed by a purported class of direct purchasers, by a purported class of indirect purchasers and by certain chain pharmacies in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The plaintiffs claim that the settlement agreement between Wyeth and Teva unlawfully delayed generic entry. In October 2014, the court granted Teva’s motion to dismiss in the direct purchaser cases, after which the parties agreed that the court’s reasoning applied equally to the indirect purchaser cases. Plaintiffs appealed and, in August 2017, the Third Circuit reversed the district court’s decision and remanded for further proceedings. In March 2020, the district court temporarily stayed discovery and referred the case to mediation, and discovery remains stayed. Annual sales of Effexor XR

In December 2018,On February 1, 2023, the district court granted the direct-purchaser plaintiffs’ motion for class certification, but on April 22, 2020, the Third Circuit reversed that ruling and remanded for further class certification proceedings. On April 9, 2021, the district court denied the direct purchaser plaintiffs’ renewed motion for class certification, but allowed additional briefing on whethercertification.

On December 2, 2022, plaintiffs purporting to represent putative classes of indirect purchasers of EpiPen

(epinephrine injection) and NUVIGIL
®
(armodafinil) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas against Teva, Cephalon, and a former Teva executive. Teva owns the New Drug Application (“NDA”) for NUVIGIL and sold the brand product, for which generic entry occurred in 2016. Teva filed an ANDA to sell generic EpiPen

, which Teva launched in 2018, following receipt of FDA approval. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants violated federal antitrust laws, the RICO Act, and various state laws in connection with settlements resolving patent litigation relating to those products. Plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory and punitive damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and costs. On September 26, 2023, plaintiffs filed a brief in opposition to Teva’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint, in which plaintiffs stated an intent to narrow the case by dismissing all claims related to the alleged delay of generic EpiPen

, thus limiting their claims to those relating to the alleged delay of generic NUVIGIL. A decision on Teva’s motion to dismiss remains pending. Annual sales of NUVIGIL in the United States were approximately $300 million at the time Teva entered into the first settlement with an ANDA filer in 2012; annual sales of EpiPen

Government Investigations and Litigation Relating to Pricing and Marketing
Teva is involved in government investigations and litigation arising from the marketing and promotion of its pharmaceutical products in the United States.
In 2015 and 2016, Actavis and Teva USA each respectively received subpoenas from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) Antitrust Division seeking documents and other information relating to the marketing and pricing of certain Teva USA generic products and communications with competitors about such products. On August 25, 2020, a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania returned a three countthree-count indictment charging Teva USA with criminal felony Sherman Act violations. See No. 20-cr-200 (E.D. Pa.). The indictment allegesalleged that Teva USA had participated in a conspiracythree separate conspiracies with certain other generic drug manufacturers to maintain and fix prices, allocate customers, and other alleged antitrust offenses concerning the sale of generic drugs.

Teva recognized a provision for the resolution of this time, a conviction on these criminal charges could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, including monetary penalties and debarment from federally funded health care programs.case.
In May 2018, Teva received a civil investigative demand from the DOJ Civil Division pursuant to the federal False Claims Act, seeking documents and information produced since January 1, 2009 relevant to the Civil Division’s investigation concerning allegations that generic pharmaceutical manufacturers, including Teva, engaged in market allocation and price-fixing agreements, paid illegal remuneration, and caused false claims to be submitted in violation of the False Claims Act. An adverse resolution of this matter may include fines, penalties, financial forfeiture and compliance conditions.
In 2015 and 2016, Actavis and Teva USA each respectively received a subpoena from the Connecticut Attorney General seeking documents and other information relating to potential state antitrust law violations. Subsequently, onOn December 15, 2016, a civil action was brought by the attorneys general of twenty states against Teva USA and several other companies asserting claims under federal antitrust law alleging price fixing of generic products in the United States. That complaintStates, which was latersubsequently amended to add newinclude 49 states, as named plaintiffs, as well as new allegations and new state law claims, and on June 18, 2018, the attorneys general of 49 states plus Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia filed a consolidated amended complaintand Puerto Rico as plaintiffs, and to add new allegations and state law claims against both Actavis and Teva, as well as other companies and individuals.Teva. On May 10, 2019, most (though not all) of these attorneys general filed another antitrust complaint against Actavis, Teva and other companies and individuals, alleging price-fixing and market allocation with respect to additional generic products. Onwhich was subsequently amended on November 1, 2019, the state attorneys general filed an amended complaint, bringing the total number of plaintiff states and territories to 54.

In the various complaints described above, which also include claims against certain former employees of Actavis and Teva USA, the states seek a finding that the defendants’ actions violated federal antitrust law and state antitrust and consumer protection laws, as well as injunctive relief, disgorgement, damages on behalf of various state and governmental entities and consumers, civil penalties and costs. All such complaints have beenwere transferred to the generic drug multidistrict litigation in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (“Pennsylvania MDL”). On July 13, 2020, the court overseeing the Pennsylvania MDL chose the attorneys’ general November 1, 2019 amended complaint, referenced above, along with certain complaints filed by private plaintiffs, to proceed first in the litigation as bellwether complaints. Teva moved the court to reconsider that ruling. On February 9, 2021, Teva’s motion to reconsider that ruling was granted, and on May 7, 2021, the Court chose the attorneys’ general third complaint filed on June 10, 2020, andas subsequently amended, to serve as a bellwether complaint in the Pennsylvania MDL, along with certain complaints filed by private plaintiffs. InThe schedule set by the Court to govern the bellwether cases does not include trial dates, but provides for the parties to complete briefing on motions for summary judgment in the third quarter of 2024. On June 2021, 7, 2022, the Court dismissed the attorneys’ general claims for monetary relief under federal law, concluding that the federal statute under which the attorneys general brought suit authorizes injunctive relief only. However, the attorneys general have pending claims for monetary relief under state law. On February 27, 2023, the Court largely denied defendants’ motions to dismiss the federal claims asserted by the attorneys general in their bellwether complaint. Another motion to dismiss related to the state law claims asserted by the attorneys general in their bellwether complaint remains pending. The attorneys general have also moved for their complaints to be remanded to the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, and that motion remains pending.
Teva has settled with the Statestates of Mississippi (in June 2021), Louisiana (in March 2022), Georgia (in September 2022), Arkansas (in October 2022), Florida (in February 2023), and Kentucky (in June 2023).

On July 18, 2019, May 6, 2020 and October 8, 2021, certain individual plaintiffs commenced civil actions in the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County against many of the defendants in the Pennsylvania MDL, including Teva and Actavis, but no complaints have been filed in the actions and threeeach of the three cases have been placed in deferred status. Certain counties in New York and Texas have also commenced civil actions against many of the defendants in the Pennsylvania MDL, including Teva and Actavis, and the complaints have been or are in the process of being transferred to the Pennsylvania MDL. There is also one similar complaint brought in Canada, which is in its early stages and alleges that the defendants engaged in conspiracies to fix prices and/or allocate market share of generic drug products to the detriment of a class of private payors. The action is in its early stages.

Plaintiffs purport to represent a nationwide class of health plans and a subclass of Washington-based health plans that purchased and/or reimbursed health plan members for COPAXONE. Plaintiffs allege that Teva engaged in several fraudulent schemes that resulted in plaintiffs and the putative class members purchasing and/or reimbursing plan members for additional prescriptions of COPAXONE and/or at inflated COPAXONE prices. Plaintiffs seek treble damages for the excess reimbursements and inflated costs, as well as injunctive relief. On September 28, 2021, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint.

The majority of the remaining cases are consolidated into ain the multidistrict litigation in the Northern District of Ohio (“MDL(the “MDL Opioid Proceeding”) and many of the. These cases filed in state court have been removed to federal court and consolidated into the MDL Opioid Proceeding. Two cases that were included in the MDL Opioid Proceeding were transferred back to federal district court for additional discovery, pre-trial proceedings and trial. Those cases are: City of Chicago v. Purdue Pharma L.P. et al.,
No. 14-cv-04361
(N.D. Ill.) and City and County of San Francisco v. Purdue Pharma L.P. et al., No. 18-cv-07591-CRB (N.D. Cal.). Other cases remain pending in various states. In some jurisdictions, such as Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and West Virginia, certain state court cases have been transferred to a single court within their respective state court systems for coordinated pretrial proceedings.

On April 19, 2021, a bench trial in California (The PeopleIn July 2022, Teva, the working group of States’ Attorneys General (the “Working Group”), the State of California, acting byMulti-District Litigation Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee (“PEC”), and through Santa Clara County Counsel James R. Williams, et. al. v. Purdue Pharma L.P., et. al.) commenced against Teva and other defendants focused on the marketing of branded opioids. On December 14, 2021, the court issued its final judgment in favor of the defendants on all claims. Teva expects that the plaintiffs will appeal this judgment. On June 29, 2021, a jury trial in New York (
In re Opioid Litigation
, Index No. 400000/2017)) commenced against Teva and other defendants, focused on the marketing and distribution of opioids. The case was bifurcated between liability and damages. On December 30, 2021, the jury returned a liability verdict in favor of plaintiffs (the County of Suffolk, the County of Nassau and the State of New York), on the plaintiffs’ public nuisance claim. It is anticipated that discovery with respect to the damages portion of the case will begin in 2022 followed by a damages trial. Teva intends to appeal and expects that both Teva and the plaintiffs will file post-trial motions with respect to the liability portion of the case. Absent resolutions, additional trials are expected to proceed in several states in 2022.
In May 2019, Teva settled the Oklahoma litigation brought by the Oklahoma Attorney General (State of Oklahoma, ex. rel. Mike Hunter, Attorney General of Oklahoma vs. Purdue Pharma L.P., et. al.)counsel for $85 million. The settlement did not include any admission of violation of law for any of the claims or allegations made. As the Company demonstrated a willingness to settle part of the litigation, for accounting purposes, management considered a portion of opioid-related cases as probable and, as such, recorded an estimated provision in the second quarter of 2019. Given the relatively early stage of the cases, management viewed no amount within the range to be the most likely outcome. Therefore, management recorded a provision for the reasonably estimable minimum amount in the assessed range for such opioid-related cases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 450 “Accounting for Contingencies.”
Additionally, on October 21, 2019, Teva reached a settlement with the two plaintiffs in the MDL Opioid Proceeding that was scheduled for trial for the Track One case, Cuyahoga and Summit Counties of Ohio. Under the terms of the settlement, Teva agreed to provide the two counties with opioid treatment medication, buprenorphine naloxone (sublingual tablets), known by the brand name Suboxone

, with a value of $25 million at wholesale acquisition cost and distributed over three years to help in the care and treatment of people suffering from addiction, and a cash payment in the amount of $20 million, which has been paid.
Also on October 21, 2019, Teva and certain other defendantsNative American tribes (“Tribes”) reached an agreement in principle on the financial terms of nationwide settlements similar in structure to the nationwide settlements of other defendants that were announced in July 2021. During the third quarter of 2022, Teva and Allergan resolved their dispute with a grouprespect to Teva’s indemnification obligations. In November 2022, Teva, Allergan, the Working Group and PEC, and representatives for the Tribes, finalized the terms of Attorneys General for a nationwide settlement. Thistheir respective proposed opioids nationwide settlement was designedagreements. In January 2023, Teva confirmed participation from all states except Nevada, and decided to provide a mechanism by whichmove forward with the Company attempts to seek resolutionparticipation process of remaining potentialthe subdivisions. In February 2023, Teva and pending opioid claims by both the U.S.Tribes finalized their opioids settlement with participation from 100% of the Tribes.
In June 2023, Teva finalized and fully resolved its nationwide settlement agreement with the states and political subdivisions (i.e., counties, tribes and other plaintiffs) thereof.
On July 21, 2021, it was announced that four other defendants (not including Teva) have reached a99% of litigating subdivisions. Under the financial terms of the nationwide settlement subjectagreement with the states and subdivisions, Teva will pay up to certain conditions, which$4.25 billion (including the already settled cases), spread over 13 years. This total includes paymentthe supply of up to approximately $26$1.2 billion spread over up to 18 years. During the passage of time since then, the Company has continued to negotiate the terms and conditionsTeva’s generic version of a nationwide settlement. There remain many complex financial and legal issues still outstanding, including indemnification claims by Allergan against the Company, arising from the acquisition of the Actavis Generics business, which makes the timing of any outcome uncertain. In that regard, Allergan is also in settlement negotiations over various opioid matters and has asked Teva, pursuant to indemnification

York opioids litigation. Allergan has indicated that it may seek indemnification from Teva for a significant portion of that New York settlement, and that it could initiate arbitration proceedings to resolve the dispute. Teva disputes that, under the circumstances, Teva is obligated to provide indemnification in connection with Allergan’s New York settlement.
On September 28, 2021, Teva reached an agreement with the Attorney General of Louisiana that settles the state’s opioid-related claims. The agreement is contingent that, by mid-February, 2022, all political subdivisions of Louisiana will formally release Teva as part of the settlement, which Teva was advised has occurred by the Attorney General of Louisiana. Under the terms of the settlement, Teva will pay Louisiana $15 million over an 18-year period and will provide buprenorphine naloxone (sublingual tablets) valued at $3 million (wholesale acquisition cost).
On February 4, 2022, the Company reached an agreement with the Attorney General of the State of Texas that settles Texas’ and its subdivisions opioid-related claims. The settlement is contingent on confirmation by the state, by March 10, 2022, that at least 96% of the population of subdivisions will formally release Teva as part of the settlement, which Teva believes is achievable based on its discussions with the Attorney General of Texas and plaintiffs’ counsel. Under the terms of the settlement, Teva will pay Texas $150 million over a 15-year time period and will provide its recently launched, lifesaving medicine generic Narcan

In June 2023, Teva reached a separate settlement with the remaining state, Nevada. Under the terms of the Nevada settlement, Teva will pay Nevada $193 million over 20 years, including all fees and costs.
Teva has now settled with all 50 U.S. states and the Tribes. Teva’s estimated cash payments between 2023 and 2027 for all opioids settlements are: $424 million paid in 2023, $418 million payable in 2024; $364 million payable in 2025; $368 million payable in 2026; and $368 million payable in 2027. These payments are subject to change based on various factors including, but not limited to, timing of payments, most favored nations clauses associated with prior settlements, and the states’ elections to take Teva’s generic version of Narcan

(naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray). The remaining payments, subject to adjustments, will be paid beyond 2028.
Various Teva affiliates, along with several other pharmaceutical companies, were named as defendants in opioids cases initiated by approximately 500 U.S. hospitals and other healthcare providers asserting opioid-related claims, including public nuisance. Specifically, the lawsuits brought by the hospitals allege that they have incurred financial harm in the form of what they claimed to be increased operating costs for treating patients

In July 2023, Teva and the representatives for acute care hospitals reached an agreement in principle on the financial terms of a resultnational settlement. Under the financial terms of the proposed national settlement agreement, Teva will pay up to $126 million in cash, spread over 18 years, and supply up to $49 million of Teva’s generic version of Narcan

Teva’s proposed settlement agreement with the acute care hospitals and health systems is contingent upon Teva’s satisfaction, in the exercise of its sole discretion, with the level of participation by acute care hospitals and health care systems in the proposed settlement agreement.
In light of the nationwide settlement agreement between Teva and the States’ Attorneys General and their subdivisions, Teva’s indemnification obligations arising from Teva’s acquisition of the Actavis Generics business for opioid-related claims, prior settlements reached with Louisiana, Texas, and recent decisions in California, Oklahoma andRhode Island, Florida, San Francisco, West Virginia, New York, the Tribes, and Nevada, the agreement in principle with the hospitals discussed above, as well as an estimate for a number of items including, but not limited to, costs associated with administering injunctive terms, and most favored nations clauses associated with prior settlements, the Company has reconsidered the potential settlement outcome and revised itsrecorded a provision. The revised provision is a reasonable estimate of the ultimate costs if a nationwide settlement is finalized. However, if not finalized for Teva’s opioids settlements, after discounting payments to their net present value.

Environmental Matters
Teva or its subsidiaries are party to a number of environmental proceedings, or have received claims, including under the federal Superfund law or other federal, provincial or state and local laws, imposing liability for alleged noncompliance, or for the investigation and remediation of releases of hazardous substances and for natural resource damages. Many of these proceedings and claims seek to require the generators of hazardous wastes disposed of at a third party-owned site, or the party responsible for a release of hazardous substances that impacted a site, to investigate and clean the site or to pay or reimburse others for such activities, including for oversight by governmental authorities and any related damages to natural resources. Teva or its subsidiaries have received claims, or been made a party to these proceedings, along with others, as an alleged generator of wastes that were disposed of or treated at third-party waste disposal sites, or as a result of an alleged release from one of Teva’s facilities or former facilities.
Although liability among the responsible parties, under certain circumstances, may be joint and several, these proceedings are frequently resolved so that the allocation of
clean-up
and other costs among the parties reflects the relative contributions of the parties to the site conditions and takes into account other pertinent factors. Teva’s potential liability varies greatly at each of the sites; for some sites the costs of the investigation,
clean-up
and natural resource damages have not yet been determined, and for others Teva’s allocable share of liability has not been determined. At other sites, Teva has taken an active role in identifying those costs, to the

extent they are identifiable and estimable, which do not include reductions for potential recoveries of
clean-up
costs from insurers, indemnitors, former site owners or operators or other potentially responsible parties. In addition, enforcement proceedings relating to alleged violations of federal, state, commonwealth or local requirements at some of Teva’s facilities may result in the imposition of significant penalties (in amounts not expected to materially adversely affect Teva’s results of operations) and the recovery of certain costs and natural resource damages, and may require that corrective actions and enhanced compliance measures be implemented.
Item 103 of Regulation
S-K
promulgated by the SEC requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions, unless the Company reasonably believes that the matter will result in no monetary sanctions, or in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of less than $300,000. The following matter is disclosed in accordance with that requirement. On July 8, 2021, the National Green Tribunal Principal Bench, New Delhi, issued an order against Teva’s subsidiary in India, Teva API India Private Limited, finding
non-compliance
with environmental laws and assessed a penalty of $1.4 million. The Company disputed certain of the findings and the amount of the penalty and filed an appeal before the Supreme Court of India. On August 5, 2021, the Supreme Court of India admitted the appeal for hearing and granted an interim unconditional stay on the National Green Tribunal’s order. The Company does not believe that the eventual outcome of such matter will have a material effect on its business.

The plaintiffs claim damages of at least $200 million, an amount they allege is equivalent to the milestones payable to the former shareholders of Ception in the event Cephalon were to obtain regulatory approval for EE in the United States ($150 million) and Europe ($50 million). Defendants movedOn December 28, 2018, following defendants’ motion to
dismiss the complaint, and on December 28, 2018, the court granted the motion in part and dismissed all of plaintiffs’ claims, except for their claim against Cephalon for breach of contract. In November 2021, plaintiffs moved to amend their complaint to, among other things, reassert claims against the Company and Teva USA.

Gain Contingencies
From time to time, Teva may directly or indirectly pursue claims against certain parties, including but not limited to patent infringement lawsuits against other pharmaceutical companies to protect its patent rights, as well as derivative actions brought on behalf of Teva. Teva recognizes gain contingencies from the defendants in such lawsuits when they are realized or when all related contingencies have been resolved. No gain has been recognized regarding the matters disclosed below, unless mentioned otherwise.
In October 2017, Teva filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that Eli Lilly & Co.’s (“Lilly”) marketing and sale of its galcanezumab product for the treatment of migraine infringes nine Teva patents, including three method of treatment patents and six composition of matter patents. Lilly then submitted inter partes review (“IPR”) petitions to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”), challenging the validity of the nine Teva patents. The PTAB issued decisions upholding the three method of treatment patents but finding the six composition of matter patents invalid, which decisions were affirmed by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on August 16, 2021. A jury trial regarding the three method of treatment patents resulted in a verdict in Teva’s favor on November 9, 2022, in which the three method of treatment patents were determined to be valid and infringed by Lilly and Teva was awarded $176.5 million in damages. On September 26, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts issued a decision that reversed the jury’s verdict and damages award, finding Teva’s
method of treatment
patents to be invalid. Teva is appealing this decision and
filed a notice of
appeal
on October 24, 2023
. On June 8, 2021, Teva filed a second lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that Lilly’s marketing and sale of galcanezumab product infringes two patents related to the treatment of refractory migraine. This second litigation was stayed pending resolution of Lilly’s IPR petitions challenging the patentability of these two patents. On September 25, 2023, the PTAB issued its written decision for invalidating these two patents. On October 11, 2023, the PTAB issued its written decision invalidating a third patent also related to the treatment of refractory migraine based on another Lilly IPR petition. Teva did not appeal the PTAB decision, and on
November 28
, 2023
,
the patent litigation involving the refractory migraine patents was dismissed.
Motions to approve derivative actions seeking monetary damages against certain past and present directors and officers have been filed in Israeli Courts alleging negligence and recklessness, as well as motions for document disclosure prior to initiating derivative actions. Motions were filed with respect to several U.S. and EU settlement agreements, opioids, allegations related to the DOJ’s complaint regarding the COPAXONE patient assistance program in the U.S., and with respect to the COPAXONE European Commission’s investigation.

In 2020,2023 and 2022, income before income taxes includes goodwill impairment in
non-Israeli
subsidiaries that did not have a corresponding tax effect.
**In 2022, one of Teva’s U.S. subsidiaries was determined to be insolvent for tax purposes (i.e., its liabilities exceeded the fair market value of its assets), mainly in light of its accumulated operational losses. Consequently, Teva recognized on its 2022 tax return, a worthless stock deduction of approximately $4.2 billion, with related tax benefit of approximately $909 million.
***The financial data presented in the tables above for the year ended December 31, 2022 have been revised as discussed in note 1b.
TheTeva’s effective tax rate is the result of a variety of factors, including the geographic mix and type of products sold during the year, interest expense disallowance, amortization, legal settlement charges, impairments, the impact of adjustments to uncertain tax positions, adjustments to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets and the different effective tax rates applicable to
non-Israeli
subsidiaries that have tax rates different than Teva’s average tax rate.
In 2020, Teva released arates, net deferred tax benefits from intellectual property related integration plans, impairments, legal settlements, and interest expense disallowances. Such intellectual property related integration plans have been adopted to, among other things, address the global adoption of the OECD Pillar Two minimum effective corporate tax, commencing in 2024. Additionally, the effective tax rate includes adjustments to valuation allowanceallowances on its deferred tax assets in one jurisdiction and recorded a valuation allowance in another jurisdiction, with both adjustments reflecting changes in the business forecasts of profitability in these jurisdictions. The net effect of these changes did not materially impact Teva’s effectiveto uncertain tax rate for 2020.positions.

Uncertain tax positions, mainly of a long-term nature, include accrued potential penalties and interest of $210$224 million, $173$212 million and $164$210 million as of December 31, 2021, 20202023, 2022 and 2019,2021, respectively. The total amount of interest and penalties reflected in the consolidated statements of income was a net increase of $37$12 million, $9$2 million and $33$37 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 20202023, 2022 and 2019,2021, respectively. Substantially all the above uncertain tax benefits, if recognized, would reduce Teva’s annual effective tax rate. Teva does not expect uncertain tax positions to change significantly over the next 12 months, except in the case of settlements with tax authorities or court decisions, the likelihood and timing of which is difficult to estimate.
 
e.
Tax assessments:
Teva files income tax returns in various jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. Teva and its subsidiaries in Israel have received final tax assessments through tax year 2007.2011.
In 2013, Teva settled the 2005-2007 income tax assessment with the Israeli tax authorities, paying $213 million. No further taxes are due in relation to these years. Certain guidelines which were set pursuant to the agreement reached in relation to the 2005-2007 assessment have been implemented in the audit of tax years 2008-2011, and are reflected in the provisions.
The Israeli tax authorities (“ITA”) issued tax assessment decrees for 2008-20122008-2011, 2012 and 2013-2016, challenging the Company’s positions on several issues. Teva has protested the 2008-20122008-2011, 2012 and 2013-2016 decrees before the Central District Court in Israel.

In October 2021, the Central District Court in Israel held in favor of the Israeli tax authoritiesITA with respect to 2008-2011 decrees. Teva appealed this decision to the Israeli Supreme Court and the appeal hearing is expected to begin in March 2024. On December 6, 2023, the Central District Court issued a partial judgment on the 2012-2016 decrees, to apply the court’s findings in the judgment for the 2008-2011 decrees on the overlapping issues. The case with respect to the other issues under dispute for the 2012-2016 decrees remains pending with similar legal claims.pending. The next court hearing is scheduled for September 18, 2024.

Teva believes it has adequately provided for these itemsall uncertain tax positions for open years, and that any other adverse results of examinations or litigation would have an immaterial impact on Teva’sthe Company’s financial statements.
Teva currently has a legal proceeding in the U.S. Tax Court, one on appeal to the Third Circuit, which has ruled favorably for another taxpayer on a substantially similar matter, and one on appeal to the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Each dispute with the IRS addresses the question of whether certain legal fees incurred related to Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDAs”) were eligible to be deducted in the year incurred for tax purposes or were required to be amortized over longer periods under U.S. tax law. Teva received a favorable ruling in the Court of Federal Claims in August 2022, and the Department of Justice filed a notice of appeal in December 2022. The U.S. Tax Court case remains in the
pre-trial
phase. While Teva continues to vigorously defend itself in these cases, and believes it is
more-likely-than-not
to prevail, there is uncertainty in the outcome and an adverse ruling could materially affect the Company’s financial statements.
Teva filed a claim seeking the refund of withholding taxes paid to the Indian tax authorities in 2012. Trial in this case is ongoing. A final and binding decision against Teva in this case may lead to an impairment in thean amount of $141up to $126 million.
The Company’s subsidiaries in Europe have received final tax assessments mainly through tax year 2015.
 
f.
Basis of taxation:
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to tax in many jurisdictions, and estimation is required in recording the assets and liabilities related to income taxes. The Company believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years. The Company considers various factors in making these assessments, including past history, recent interpretations of tax law, and the specifics of each matter. Because tax regulations are subject to interpretation and tax litigation is inherently uncertain, these assessments can involve a series of complex judgments regarding future events.
An assessment of the tax that would have been payable had the Company’s foreign subsidiaries distributed their income to the Company is not practicable because of the multiple levels of corporate ownership and multiple tax jurisdictions involved in each hypothetical dividend distribution.
Incentives Applicable until 2013
Under the incentives regime applicable to the Company until 2013, industrial projects of Teva and certain of its Israeli subsidiaries were eligible for “Approved Enterprise” status.
Most of the projects in Israel have been granted Approved Enterprise status under the “alternative” tax benefit track which offered tax exemption on undistributed income for a period of two to ten years, depending on the location of the enterprise. Upon distribution of such exempt income, the distributing company is subject to corporate tax at the rate ordinarily applicable to the Approved Enterprise’s income.
Amendment 69 to the Investment Law
Pursuant to Amendment 69 to the Investment Law (“Amendment 69”), a company that elected by November 11, 2013 to pay a corporate tax rate as set forth in that amendment (rather than the tax rate applicable to Approved Enterprise income) with respect to undistributed exempt income accumulated by the company up

until December 31, 2011 is entitled to distribute a dividend from such income without being required to pay

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
additional corporate tax with respect to such dividend. A company that has so elected must make certain qualified investments in Israel over the five-year period commencing in 2013. Teva invested the entire required amount in 2013.
During 2013, Teva applied the provisions of Amendment 69 to certain exempt profits Teva accrued prior to 2012. Consequently, Teva paid $577 million in corporate tax on exempt income of $9.4 billion. Part of this income was distributed as dividends during 2013-2018, while the remainder is available to be distributed as dividends in future years with no additional corporate tax liability.
Incentives Applicable starting 2014
:
The Incentives Regime – Amendment 68 to the Investment Law
Under Amendment 68 to the Investment Law, which Teva started applying in 2014, upon an irrevocable election made by a company, a uniform corporate tax rate will apply to all qualifying industrial income of such company (“Preferred Enterprise”), as opposed to the previous law’s incentives, which were limited to income from Approved Enterprises during the benefits period. Under the law, when the election is made, the uniform tax rate for 2014 until 2016 was 9% in areas in Israel designated as Development Zone A and 16% elsewhere in Israel. The uniform tax rate for Development Zone A, as of January 1, 2017, is 7.5% (as part of changes enacted in Amendment 73, as described below). The profits of these “Preferred Enterprise” will be freely distributable as dividends, subject to a 20% or lower withholding tax, under an applicable tax treaty. Certain “Special Preferred Enterprises” that meet more stringent criteria (significant investment, R&D or employment thresholds) will enjoy further reduced tax rates of 5% in Zone A and 8% elsewhere. In order to be classified as a “Special Preferred Enterprises,” the approval of three governmental authorities in Israel is required.
The New Technological Enterprise Incentives Regime – Amendment 73 to the Investment Law
Since 2017, a portion of the Company’s taxable income in Israel is entitled to a preferred 6% tax rate under Amendment 73 to the Investment Law as it pertains to Special Preferred Technological Enterprises.
The new incentives regime applies to “Preferred Technological Enterprises” or “Special Preferred Technological Enterprises.” A “Preferred Technological Enterprise” is an enterprise that meet certain conditions, including, inter alia:
 
Investment of at least 7% of income, or at least NIS 75 million (approximately $22 million) in R&D activities; and
 
One of the following:
 
 a.
At least 20% of the workforce (or at least 200 employees) are employed in R&D;
 b.
A venture capital investment approximately equivalent to at least $2 million was previously made in the company; or
 c.
Growth in sales or workforce by an average of 25% over the three years preceding the tax year.
A “Special Preferred Technological Enterprise” is an enterprise that meets, inter alia conditions 1 and 2 above, and in addition has total annual consolidated revenues above NIS 10 billion (approximately $2.9 billion).

Preferred Technological Enterprises are subject to a corporate tax rate of 7.5% on their income derived from intellectual property in areas in Israel designated as Zone A and 12% elsewhere, while Special Preferred Technological Enterprises are subject to 6% on such income. The withholding tax on dividends from these enterprises is 4% to foreign companies (or a lower rate under a tax treaty, if
applicable).

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Income not eligible for Preferred Technological Enterprise benefits is taxed at the regular corporate tax rate, which is
23
% 23%, or the preferred tax rate, as the case may be.
The Parent Company and its Israeli subsidiaries elected to compute their taxable income in accordance with Income Tax Regulations (Rules for Accounting for Foreign Investors Companies and Certain Partnerships and Setting their Taxable Income), 1986. Accordingly, the taxable income or loss is calculated in U.S. dollars. Applying these regulations reduces the effect of U.S. dollar – NIS exchange rate on the Company’s Israeli taxable income.
Non-Israeli
subsidiaries are taxed according to the tax laws in their respective country of residence. Certain manufacturing subsidiaries operate in several jurisdictions outside Israel, some of which benefit from tax incentives such as reduced tax rates, investment tax credits and accelerated deductions.

The 2021 Budget Law
On November 15, 2021, the Israeli Parliament released its 2021-2022 Budget Law (“2021 Budget Law”). The 2021 Budget Law introduces a new dividend ordering rule that apportions every dividend between previously
tax-exempt
and previously taxed income. Consequently, distributions (including deemed distributions as per Section 51(h)/51B of the Investment Law) may entail additional corporate tax liability to the distributing company. The new dividend ordering rule may have an adverse effect on Teva’s financial condition and results of operationoperations in future years, as the Company still has
tax-exempt
profits in its retained earnings. Income taxes have not been recognized for amounts of
tax-exempt
income generated from the Company’s current Approved Enterprises retained for reinvestment.
Pillar Two Taxation
The OECD introduced Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) Pillar Two rules that impose a global minimum tax rate
of 15% for large multinational corporations. On December 12, 2022, the EU Council announced that EU member states had reached an agreement to implement the minimum taxation component of 15% of the OECD’s reform of international taxation. Other countries have also enacted or are expected to enact legislation to be effective as early as January 1, 2024, with general implementation of a global minimum tax by January 1, 2025. The OECD continues to release additional guidance and the Company is monitoring the new rules and country agreements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and does not expect Pillar
Two
to have a material impact on its effective tax rate or consolidated financial statements
 in the foreseeable future

Significant regulatory and other events
In July 2018, the FDA completed an inspection of Teva’s manufacturing plant in Davie, Florida in the United States, and issued a Form FDA-483 to the site. In October 2018, the FDA notified Teva that the inspection of the site had been classified as “official action indicated” (“OAI”), and on February 5, 2019, Teva received a warning letter from the FDA that contained four additional enumerated concerns related to production, quality control and investigations at this site. Since the inspection, Teva has been working diligently to address the FDA’s concerns in a manner consistent with current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) requirements as quickly and as thoroughly as possible. FDA follow up inspections occurred in January 2020 and in May 2021. In an official “Warning Letter Closeout Letter” dated September 1, 2021, FDA notified Teva that FDA had completed its evaluation of Teva’s corrective actions, and it appeared that Teva had adequately addressed the warning letter.
In July 2018, Teva announced the voluntary recall of valsartan and certain combination valsartan medicines in various countries due to the detection of trace amounts of a previously unknown nitrosamine impurity called NDMA found in valsartan API supplied by Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. (“Huahai”). Since July 2018, Teva has been actively engaged with global regulatory authorities in reviewing its sartan and other products to determine whether NDMA and/or other related nitrosamine impurities are present in specific products. Where necessary, Teva has initiated additional voluntary recalls. In December 2019, Teva reached a settlement with Huahai resolving Teva’s claims related to certain sartan API supplied by Huahai. Under the settlement agreement, Huahai agreed to compensate Teva for some of its direct losses and provide it with prospective cost reductions for API. The settlement does not release Huahai from liability for any losses Teva may incur as a result of third party personal injury or product liability claims relating to the sartan API at issue. In addition, multiple lawsuits have been filed in connection with this matter, which may lead to additional customer penalties, impairments and litigation costs.
In the second quarter of 2020, Teva’s operations in its manufacturing facilities in Goa, India were temporarily suspended due to a water supply issue. During the second half of 2020, Teva completed partial remediation of this issue and restarted limited supply from its Goa facilities. The site experienced some additional delays in the first quarter of 2021 due to labor related issues, but the situation stabilized during the second quarter of 2021. The water

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
supply remediation is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2022, and in the meantime the site is operating under an interim water solution without any material impact expected on compliance and supply capacity. The impact to Teva’s financial results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 was immaterial.
In June 2021, the Company temporarily paused manufacturing at its Irvine, California facility in the United States, and suspended release of product from the facility pending completion of an open manufacturing investigation. In July 2021, the FDA initiated an establishment inspection at the facility. On August 18, 2021, the Company issued field alert reports to the FDA for products manufactured at the Irvine facility and put Irvine-manufactured products in Teva’s distribution center on hold. On August 20, 2021, the FDA completed its inspection and issued a Form FDA-483 to the Irvine facility with ten observations and, on December 17, 2021, the FDA notified the Company that the inspection classification of this site is OAI. Teva is working diligently to address the FDA’s concerns in a manner consistent with current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) requirements. In addition, Teva has been in discussions with the FDA Drug Shortage Staff (DSS) and FDA Office of Manufacturing Quality (OMQ) to recommence the distribution, release and manufacture of certain medically necessary products from the site under defined controls and protocols to minimize the impact on public health. If Teva is unable to address such inspection issues satisfactorily, it could be subject to additional regulatory actions. Teva has considered these developments and has recorded immaterial costs in its financial statements related to this matter. Teva will continue to assess potential financial implications, including loss of revenues, impairments, inventory write offs, customer penalties, idle capacity charges, costs of additional remediation and/or FDA enforcement actions.

NOTE 19—Segments:

 (a)
North America segment, which includes the United States and Canada.

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
In addition to these 3three segments, Teva has other sources of revenues included in other activities, primarily the sale of APIs to third parties, certain contract manufacturing services and an
out-licensing
platform offering a portfolio of products to other pharmaceutical companies through its affiliate Medis.
Teva’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), reviews financial information prepared on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues and contributed profit by the three identified reportable segments, namely North America, Europe and International Markets, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.
Segment profit is comprised of gross profit for the segment less R&D expenses, S&M expenses, G&A expenses and other income related to the segment. Segment profit does not include amortization and certain other items.
Teva manages its assets on a company basis, not by segments, as many of its assets are shared or commingled. Teva’s CODM does not regularly review asset information by reportable segment and, therefore, Teva does not report asset information by reportable segment.
Teva’s CEO may review its strategy and organizational structure.structure from time to time. Based on such review, in May 2023 Teva launched its new Pivot to Growth strategy. Any additional changes in strategy may lead to a reevaluation of the Company’s segments and goodwill allocation to reporting units, as well as fair
value
attributable to its reporting units. See note 7.
a.    Segment information:In conjunction with a recent shift in executive management responsibilities and in alignment with Teva’s Pivot to Growth strategy, Teva decided that Canada will no longer be included as part of Teva’s North America segment as of January 1, 2024. From that date, Teva’s North America segment will be comprised solely of the United States, while Canada will be reported as part of the Company’s International Markets segment. Teva will align its internal financial and segment reporting and its reporting units in coordination with this shift effective January 1, 2024.
On January 31, 2024, Teva announced that it intends to divest its API business (including its R&D, manufacturing and commercial activities) through a sale, which divestment is expected to be completed in the first half of 2025. The intention to divest is in alignment with Teva’s Pivot to Growth strategy. However, there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing or structure of a potential divestiture or that a divestiture will be agreed or completed at all.

During the first quarter of 2021, Teva’s shares in American Well Corporation (“American Well”) moved from a Level 2 measurement to a Level 1 measurement within the fair value hierarchy, since they were no longer subject to a sale restriction. By the end of September, 2021, Teva sold all of its holdings in American Well.
**
Contingent consideration represents liabilities recorded at fair value in connection with acquisitions.
The contingent consideration liability is recorded under accrued expenses and other taxes and long-term liabilities. The financial data presented in the tables above as of December 31, 2022 have been revised as discussed in note 1b.

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
Teva determined the fair value of the liabilities for the contingent consideration based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. This fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the contingent consideration is based on several factors, such as: the cash flows projected from the success of unapproved product candidates; the probability of success of product candidates, including risks associated with uncertainty regarding achievement and payment of milestone events; the time and resources needed to complete the development and approval of product candidates; the life of the potential commercialized products and associated risks of obtaining regulatory approvals in the United States and Europe, and the risk adjusted discount rate for fair value measurement. A probability of success factor ranging from 90% to 100% was used in the fair value calculation to reflect inherent regulatory and commercial risk of the contingent payments and IPR&D. The discount rate applied ranged from 7.5%8.5% to 8.0%11%. The weighted average discount rate, calculated based on the relative fair value of Teva’s contingent consideration liabilities, was 7.7%8.8%.
The contingent consideration is evaluated quarterly, or more frequently, if circumstances dictate. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded in consolidated statements of income. Significant changes in unobservable inputs, mainly the probability of success and cash flows projected, could result in material changes to the contingent consideration liabilities. A change of the discount rate by
1
%
 would have not resulted in material changes to the contingent consideration liabilities.
The convertible debt security is accounted for as available for sale with changes in fair value reflected in other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the conversion option is negligible.

*In January 2022, Teva acquired 100% ownership of Novetide Ltd. (“Novetide”), which was previously accounted for as “investment in associated companies.” This transaction was accounted for as a business combination. Total consideration for the transaction included cash and certain contingent royalty payments through 2034. As part of the transaction, Teva recognized a gain under “Share in (profits) losses of associated companies, net,” reflecting the difference between the book value of its investment in Novetide and its fair value as of the date Teva completed its acquisition.
**On September 29, 2023, Teva invested $40 million in subordinated convertible bonds, which were issued by Alvotech, pursuant to a convertible bond instrument dated December 20, 2022. (see note 2).
***The financial data presented in the tables above with respect to adjustments to provisions for contingent consideration related to Allergan in 2022 have been revised as discussed in note 1b.
Teva’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, investments in securities, current and
non-current
receivables, short-term credit, accounts payable and accruals, loans, senior notes and sustainability-linked senior notes, convertible senior debentures and derivatives.
The fair value of the financial instruments included in working capital and
non-current
receivables approximates their carrying value. The fair value of long-term bank loans mostly approximates their carrying value, since they bear interest at rates close to the prevailing market rates.

As of December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, Teva had $97$90 million and $86$79 million, respectively, deposited in funds managed by financial institutions and earmarked by management to cover severance pay liability. Such deposits are not considered to be “plan assets” and are therefore included in other
non-current
assets.
Most of the change resulted from actuarial updates, as well as from exiting from several defined benefit plans in several countries.
The Company expects to expense an approximate contribution of $114$115 million in 20222024 to pension funds and insurance companies in connection with its severance and pension pay obligations.
The main terms of the different arrangements with employees are described in below.
 
b.
Terms of arrangements:
Israel
Israeli law generally requires payment of severance pay upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination of employment in certain other circumstances. The Parent Company and its Israeli subsidiaries make ongoing deposits into employee pension plans to fund their severance liabilities. Generally, employees that joined the Company after 2005, have signed an arrangement, pursuant to which such deposits are made in lieu of the Company’s severance

liability. Therefore, no obligation is provided for in the financial statements. Severance pay liabilities with respect to employees who were employed by the Parent Company and its Israeli subsidiaries

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
prior to that date, as well as employees who have special contractual arrangements, are provided for in the financial statements based upon the number of years of service and the latest monthly salary of such employees.
Europe
Many of the employees in the Company’s European subsidiaries are entitled to a retirement grant when they leave the Company. In the consolidated financial statements, the liability of the European subsidiaries is accrued, based on the length of service and remuneration of each employee at the balance sheet date. Other employees in Europe are entitled to a pension according to a defined benefit scheme providing benefits based on final or average pensionable pay or according to a hybrid pension scheme that provides retirement benefits on a defined benefit and a defined contribution basis. Independent certified actuaries value these schemes and determine the rates of contribution payable. Pension costs for the defined benefit section of the scheme are accounted for on the basis of charging the expected cost of providing pensions over the period during which the subsidiaries benefit from the employees’ services. The Company uses December 31 as the measurement date for defined benefit plans.
North America
The Company’s North American subsidiaries mainly provide various defined contribution plans for the benefit of their employees. Under these plans, contributions are based on specified percentages of pay. Additionally, a multi-employer plan is maintained in accordance with various union agreements.
Latin America
The majority of the employees in Latin America are entitled to severance under local law. The severance payments are calculated based on service term and employee remuneration, and accruals are maintained to reflect these amounts. In some Latin American countries, it is Teva’s practice to offer retirement health benefits to qualifying employees. Based on the specific plan requirements, benefits accruals are maintained to reflect the estimated amounts or adjusted if future plans are modified.
The Company expects to pay the following future minimum benefits to its employees: $14 million in 2024; $13 million in 2022; $122025; $13 million in 2023; $112026; $13 million in 2024; $112027; $15 million in 2025; $11 million in 20262028; and $63$80 million in the aggregate between 20272029 to 2031.2033. These amounts do not include amounts that may be paid to employees who cease working with the Company before their normal retirement age.

NOTE 22—Quarterly financial data (Unaudited):
As discussed in note 1b, the Company identified errors in a single contingent consideration liability and related expenses in connection with estimated future royalty payments, along with corresponding deferred tax adjustments, and determined that certain line items in connection with the Company’s unaudited quarterly financial data for 2023 and 2022 needed to be revised.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Teva maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Teva’s reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Teva’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating thethese disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective.

After evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021,2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, as of such date, Teva’sthe Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective atnot effective.

In light of this material weakness, management performed certain substantive procedures of roll-forward calculations and reconciliations, allowing Teva’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to conclude that, notwithstanding the reasonable assurance level.

material weakness described below, the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, present fairly, in all material respects, Teva’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Report of Teva Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as amended.Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of Teva’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021.2023. In making this assessment, itmanagement used the criteria established in

Internal Control—Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on such assessment, management has concluded that, due to the existence of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, as of December 31, 2021,such date, Teva’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
Attestation Report

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Registered Public Accounting Firmcompany’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

177


We did not design and maintain effective control over the contingent consideration liability and related expenses in connection with estimated future royalty payments. This material weakness resulted in the misstatement of our “Other asset impairments, restructuring and other items”, “Net income” and “Other taxes and long-term liabilities” and related financial disclosures, and led to the revision of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the interim financial information for the quarterly and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023. Additionally, this material weakness could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20212023, has been audited by Kesselman & Kesselman, an independent registered public accounting firm in Israel and a member of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited (“PwC”), as stated in their report which is included under “Item 8—Financial Statements.FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

Remediation Plan

To remediate this material weakness, we are implementing the following specific controls to address it and to enhance our disclosure controls and procedures over the contingent consideration liability: (i) define responsibilities over the end-to-end process; (ii) enhance the formality and rigor of reconciliation procedures; and (iii) implement additional monitoring controls through management reviews. We may design and implement additional controls that we determine to be necessary during the remediation process.

The identified material weakness will be considered remediated once the additional internal controls discussed above have been designed, implemented and operate effectively for a sufficient period of time to allow management to conclude that the material weakness has been fully remediated.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended December 31, 2021,2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect Teva’s internal control over financial reporting.
